She, LeRoy, and Glasses come to New Orleans right before Katrina. And none of them are pleased with Victor's choice of "ghoul friend!"Roland D.

Zombies, revenants, ghouls -- he'll take on all comers, with a laugh on his lips and a bat in his hands.<br /><br />Witty banter comes naturally when I write Victor. Work can leech the creative energies right out of you -- believe I know. I'm still at work now. Whew!<br /><br />And all of us hit a roadblock in our writing every now and then. Check to see if your conflict begins early enough in your trouble chapter -- and if the Want is strong and the obstacle to it is even stronger - for that is what comprises conflict : Want thwarted by Obstacle.

The dialogue is packed with witty banter that makes me smile.<br /><br />I guess I missed this blogfest. I'm sure I saw it advertised. I don't seem to be as in tune with the blogverse as I used to be.

Glad you liked this tale.<br /><br />Margo : The idea of kid zombies just gave me the chills,so I thought I'd go with it. I tried to make it riveting just snappy. I'm happy you thought it was both.<br /><br />Laughing wolf : Good to see you again. I'm pleased you liked Victor's first tale (so far). Don't be a stranger.<br /><br />Lydia : Yes, undead kids just seem to strike a nerve in all of us! Yuck! Thanks for liking this one.<br /><br />J.C. : I wish you had the time to join in this blogfest as well. Victor likes you, too. Oops. Alioe just took a swing at him for me saying that!<br /><br />Imagery Imagined : Others have suggested that. But I think no publisher would be interested in me doing that since I don't even have an agent, much less a published novel under my belt. Thanks for thinking I have the talent to write such a "how-to" book.<br /><br />Tessa : Victor definitely has spirit and spunk to spare. I'm really happy that you enjoyed this free-for-all with kid zombies.<br /><br />My short break at work is now over. I gotta get back to the blood wars.
