New Bryony readers are often astonished when I tell them the story's Irish vampire, Ed Calkins, is a living, breathing man who lives in a Chicago suburb and who legally signed off his identity for the sake of three Bryony books, all for the sake of immortality.
For more about the why's and how's, etc. scroll through the blog's labels on the front page. Also check out, Twenty Questions about Ed Calkins on the Bryony website at ww.bryonyseries.com.
Although in recent weeks, Ed has been rather distant about sending new blog material (Saturdays on the BryonySeries blog are dedicated to the Steward of Tara and all things Irish), since the release of Bryony, (finally), in December, Ed has been fervently promoting the book amongnst clan and kin (especially his many wives; see Bryony for an explanation of that) and even organized a St. Patrick's Day book analysis and sent me the comments.
The result is that all this renewed excitement has led to a flurry of most entertaining and badly edited emails from Ed (He is hopelessly scatterbrained, dyslexic, and , as he tells my protagonist, which is not Melissa--spoiler--in the third book, "Spell check does not recognize me.").
Hopefully, I can rewrite...clean up...um, okay, polish, one of Ed's writings in the next few days and post it next Saturday. And now, off to change in to Victorian dress and head off to Westfield Louis Joliet Mall fore Day Two of Bryony's participation in an arts and crafts fair.
If you're out and about today, stop over to my table (I'm by Sears and Charming Charlies) and get your copy of Bryony. If you've already purchased one, buy one of the BryonySeries candles for ethereal mood-re-reading. Done both? Come 'round anyway. I'd love to meet you.
