Negotiations are in progress for sale of this anthology.    It consists of 1 Novella, 4 short stories, and 6 novelettes to a total of about 120,000 words. 
 

 

This anthology presents authors who have honed their craft writing fan fiction for fans of Forever Knight, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and similar television shows.  Each has a personal following in those fandoms, and many have either a professional writing background which they have brought to their fan fiction or have founded a professional writing career on skills learned writing fan fiction. 

All three of the editors of this anthology have extensive fan fiction writing backgrounds.  Jacqueline Lichtenberg has an even greater bibliography of hardcover and mass market sf/f, plus nonfiction such as Star Trek Lives!  Jean Lorrah, sometime collaborator with Jacqueline Lichtenberg, is author of the famous Night of the Twin Moons fanzines, and several Best Selling Star Trek Novels from Pocket Books in addition to a broad selection of original works. 

Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Chris Jacobs (former co-editor) have now accepted the following new, never before published, original universe vampire stories from the following well known fan and professional authors, experts in the darkest and lightest sides of the vampire myth, the good vampire, and the vampire romance. 

These stories total approximately 120,000 words
