Day Fourteen Here at SK.net we have made a rare discovery – a guy who reads VA and wants to talk about his feelings (… feelings about the series, that is). We’d like to introduce you to a dear friend of ours – Ben. We managed to convince him to not only read the series, but also to blog about it every few chapters, giving us a male perspective of the series. We are honored to bring you Ben’s debut as a feature of 30 Days to Bloodlines! Sure, he doesn’t wear a duster.. but we have it on good authority that he does read westerns. Make that western. He read a western novel – once. Either way, he is now our new feature blogger and we’d love for you to give him a warm welcome into the SK.net family, and most importantly of all: enjoy his debut blog.

Day Twelve
As Day Twelve comes of our epic Countdown of Bloodlines, we have an amazing guest blog from awesome self-published author Steven Montano! Wow. My first guest post.
I feel like back in college, when I was the only guy in a class of
thirty students. The class was “Women In Romance Fiction”.
Yeah…awkward. My name is Steven Montano, author of the post-apocalyptic vampire fantasy series BLOOD SKIES, and I’m nervous as hell to be here! =D Thanks a ton to Laura for asking me to guest post as part of the ShadowKissed.net for the countdown to 30 Days Of Bloodlines. Now, while I’m not entirely in the ideal demographic for Vampire Academies as either a reader, there’s one thing that I share in common with anyone visiting this site: a love of vampires. I’ve always been a bit jealous of vampires. Part of it is that I’ll just never look that good. Part of it is I don’t really want to have to suck people’s blood to live forever (and I’m not even sure if I want to live forever.) For that reason, I tend to find myself drawn more to the bestial side of vampires: their thirst, their hunger, and their ability to completely dominate humans on every level, whether physically, psychically and emotionally. The notion that something exists that is so very similar to humans and yet at the same time so vastly superior is one of the reasons why vampires are the primary villains in my novel series, BLOOD SKIES. I started writing when I was about 18 years old (just before my “Goth” days, which stuck with me, alas, all of the way through college) and never really stopped, though it wasn’t until earlier this year that I decided to try my hand at self-publishing…and it’s been quite a wild ride. After writing the original 50,000 word draft for BLOOD SKIES in about a month’s time back in 2009, I spent the next year or so in a love-hate relationship with the manuscript until finally, earlier this year, I decided to take the plunge, finish the document up (the final version is almost 80,000 words) and self-publish it. Thus far sales have been solid (not earth-shattering, mind you, but solid), reviews have been good, and overall response has been very positive. It’s has been and continues to be a lot of work (I’m editing Book 2, BLACK SCARS, as you read this, as well as drafting Book 3 in the series, SOUL RAZOR), but there’s no question that it’s all been worth it. So what is BLOOD SKIES about? On an earth shattered by a magical apocalypse, the vampires of the Ebon Cities wage war against the struggling human survivors of the Southern Claw alliance, who must rely on their wits and their newfound mastery of magic to try and stay alive. The first novel in the series (which also happens to be called, ahem, “BLOOD SKIES”) involves a young warlock named Eric Cross, a member of a Southern Claw squad that has been deployed to track down a traitor witch called Red before she hands vital human secrets to a renegade vampire. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Cross’ sister – a witch named Snow – is assigned to his squad, and keeping her safe becomes every bit as important to Eric as fulfilling his mission. Much chaos, magic, action and general scary stuff ensues. So, you see, whether they’re getting into trouble at the Academy, struggling against the Strigoi, or just trying to wipe out the human race in an apocalyptic future, vampires are always there for some good bloody fun. :[ Steven Montano
