Wow, how cool! I love hearing your process. So cool to collaborate with a friend. And of course, KRISTEN TATE is the best editor! Sorry for the shouting, I could not help myself. KUDOS on finishing the book!
I really enjoyed reading about your fiction project and also enjoyed learning more about Dracula, which I read oh so long ago. Looking forward to reading your book when it comes out!
Fascinating to hear more about your process. I think I met Christina about the same time you did. We began working together soon after you two published On The Market. She's an invaluable writing buddy! I read an excerpt of Some Dark Force that Christina sent me, and I love it. Looking forward to reading the whole thing. The research is impressive and fun to read rendered in fiction.

Agree about Kristen! And I don’t mind the shouting! I’m glad to track your journey in your newsletter too! 😁
Super fun read. I knew nothing about the original novel or history and your collaboration sounds amazing
Thanks! Having a collaborator makes a huge difference in managing the ups and downs of creative work. It’s been both fun and productive.
That makes a lot of sense
So enjoyed "indulging" you -- be sure to sound the trumpet when publication is imminent so we can purchase. I'll check back too!
Thanks, Clyde! ❤️
Also, your website front page for the book is very inviting -- suspenseful image, love the map, and there's a whiff of intrigue about it.
Thanks! I did it myself. And I’ll add a book cover when we have one.

Thanks, Kate!
How fun!! I love this Victoria, and can't wait to hear more!
Thanks! I would love to get to Whitby too.
And I should have said thank you for including my post, but I was distracted by the rest of the essay. Thank you!
😁
Who knew a couple of Victorianists could turn their knowledge of the period into such a lively and engrossing project? I’m happy for you both.
Thanks, Rona. I hope it’s as fun for readers as for us!
I loved this, Victoria! Great to know more about your Victorian interests and research topics and about your new novel.
Thanks, Jeffrey. It feels uncomfortably like self promotion so I tried to embed the news in some actual literary analysis— 😁
Victoria, I think you've earned the right to some self-promotion! 😊
Can’t wait for this book to see the light of day! (To emerge from the shadows?)
Ha. Yes. Where’s the vampire bite emoji??
Congratulations, Victoria!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the essay!
So much, so helpful.
