“A true love story of supernatural proportions”

March 22, 2011 (Raleigh, NC) – T. Lyn Fletcher, an emerging author in Raleigh, NC, has announced her upcoming book series entitled Twisted and Turned, which, she says, will take fans of supernatural and occult literature on a journey unlike any they’ve experienced before – including Twilight, The Vampire Diaries and The Southern Vampire Mysteries (the basis for the TV series “True Blood”).

Fletcher is a member of the well-known, philanthropic Fletcher family of Raleigh, and her book series revolves around two equally powerful families: the Fletchers and the Gillespie’s. The Fletcher’s spend their winters in Raleigh, North Carolina, their summers in Chatham, Massachusetts, and “reek of supernatural issues,” the author says, including witches, the Angel of Death, demon hunters, and the ability to communicate with the dead. The Gillespie’s count vampires and witches’ covens among their relatives. Demons, werewolves and sorcerers also populate the series.

Calling Twisted and Turned “a true love story of supernatural proportions,” Fletcher begins with an archangel in heaven who falls so deeply in love with a human soul that she arranges to be born on earth in the same place where this soul will be born. The soul actually becomes twins – stunningly handsome twin vampires.

Yet the archangel is destined to find and fall in love with one of the twins – even though her natural instinct is to destroy demons. She even bears children from this unlikely union. And the books unfold as a never-ending conflict between good and evil, angels and demons, and passion and control – with an emphasis on passion.

Fletcher, a medical software designer and the mother of two boys, says she never knows what she’s going to write until she sits down to do so. “And when it starts hitting my head, I have to start writing. It’s a true blessing. Fate has finally found me.”

Her editor, Jill Yris of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, says the series’ plot “defies logic. Truth mingles with heart-pounding, mystical, I-can’t-believe-it action. Romance, witchery, relationships and drama – there is nothing subtle in the Twisted and Turned trilogy.”

Fletcher also admits that much of the series is autobiographical, especially the characters. “While the names are changed to protect the innocent,” she says with a smile, “my characters are multi-faceted, contemporary, edgy, and based on many people within my own family.”

Fletcher plans to launch her website, www.tlynfletcher.com, soon. In the meantime, she maintains a Facebook page (under T. Lyn Fletcher) and Twitter account to support the upcoming series.

Since Twilight came out more and more people are looking for Vampire Books. Vampire books have been a favorite theme with many writers. With Dracula, and all its renditions to the very popular kids series The Bailey School Kids by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones, these types of books have become a staple in paving the way for a more mainstream Below I have compiled a short list of Vampire books that can be appealing to teenagers, or young adults. Mostly I have added series, I find that series are really great, I feel that I can get to know the characters much better should I have more to read about them.

If you have any more Vampire Series that you would like to add, let me know and I will add them to this list! I know there are plenty more series out there, but most of them I haven’t had a chance to get through yet. I would love to know what your thoughts are on these books as well, so be sure to leave a comment telling me what your favorites are!

There’s no doubt that Vampire Romance is one of the most popular genre’s on the market today. With the release of the Twilight Movie, and its Forbidden Romance theme, there will most certaintly be a hike in Vampire Romance in the coming years.

In the past Vampire Romance has been a hot topic, blowing up when Buffy The Vampire Slayer came to the TV and Movie screens, and just getting hotter and hotter throughout the years. Between the fiery romance, and most often the forbidden encounter between a human and a vampire, whats not to love. You have all you need in Vampire Romance, and here you can check out tons of new and old titles that you are sure to want to sink your teeth into (hehe – had to throw that one in there).

This is a small listing of Vampire Romance on the market. I have only added series to this list, which is what I mostly read. Of course this list is no where near complete, and these are just the books or series that I have either read, or partially read. They are all pretty good, and worth the read. And if you are short on time, try some audio book, they are great for a long commute (like me)!

Should you need any more ideas or have any reviews on the above books please comment and let me know, I would love to get some of your ideas on these books.

In addition if you have read a book that you don’t see on this list, and think its worth adding, just let me know!

Twilight has grossed over $70M in revenue since the movie’s debut, it fast became a must have for any Vampire lover. Now with 3 more books to go in the series, there is no telling how high that number will go, but I believe it is safe to say that Twilight (the books and movies) aren’t going anywhere any time soon.

I decided to write a very short (and I do mean very short) excerpt on what the Twilight Books are. I don’t want to go into much detail and spoil your reading, but here is the general background of what is going to happen in each movie.

Main characters:

• Bella Swan – high school girl
• Edward Cullen – Vampire that goes to school with Bella
• Cullen Family – Edward Cullen’s family
• Victoria – Part of the Vampire’s clan that tries to kill Bella
• Jacob Black – Werewolf and friend of Bella’s father

Twilight

Bella moves to Phoenix to live with her Dad, while her Mother travels around the globe. Bella meets Edward Cullen, a vampire who lives with a family of vampires that have vowed not to drink human blood. Edwards family meets Bella and trusts in her to keep their vampire secret. While out with Edwards family, they run into a clan of human drinking vampires. And a fight breaks out. The Cullen Family must get Bella and her family to safety, all the while having to fight off this other clan of Vampires.

New Moon

The Cullens leave Phoenix to help keep Bella and her family safe. While gone Bella gets to know Jacob Black better, who is a family friend that was introduced in the first book. She learns that Jacob is a werewolf. Jacob and his tribe of werewolves now have to protect Bella because one of the vampires, Victoria, are out to kill her. When Edward learns (mistakenly) that Bella is dead he tries to commit suicide, but gets stopped by Bella who comes to Italy to see him. Edward and Bella meet with a very powerful coven of Vampires and are told that Bella must be turned into a vampire soon.

—-

Eclipse

Victoria creates an army of vampires to try to kill Bella. The Cullen Family and Jacob’s tribe of werewolves must join forces to defeat her. , and get through her defensive line, the Cullen’s Family and Jacob’s tribe. While being protected by both Edward and Jacob, she must choose between the two.

—-

Breaking Dawn

Bella and Edward have gotten married, and Bella is pregnant. Her pregnancy is quite different that normal, and almost kills her in labor. Edward saves her life by making her a vampire. Bella delivers a half vampire / half human girl. They name her Renesmee. A debate breaks out about Renesmee, who is not an immortal child, violating Vampire Law. Bella and Edward win the debate, saying the child is no threat to anyone, and Bella and Edward live happily ever after.

So basically, thats what you are going to read if you have been thinking about picking up these books. They are much more exciting than my short description might make you think – so don’t be fooled, they are definitely worth the read, or in my case, the audio book is worth a listen.
