Hi everyone! I just wanted to make you aware of a radio interview I did, and it is
at http://theauthorhour.com/l-j-smith/.
A number of other authors with excellent reputations are also interviewed--it's an all vampire show for all vampire fans!
Have a blessed, wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Holiday!
Best wishes, Lisa

Hi everyone,
Please, please check out
This is an article written by the sublime Sabrina Weiss and I've never met a
nicer reporter in my life. From MTV, no less! Read her if you've enjoyed
any of my books because at last, AT LAST I HAVE A GLOWING REVIEW!!! (Manical
laughter)
Thank you and get ready for a surprise at Halloween!

and make a comment or ask me a question. I'll be around the next couple of weeks.
September 10: The Vampire Diaries TV Show
on the CW at 8 Pacific and Eastern, 7 Central!
May I make a plea for everybody to try to be patient (especially with the
pilot episode)? The Twilight Zone feeling rapidly diminishes after that. Ian
Somerhalder is being recognized as a superior villain; and I feel sure that
under those brown curls Elena's scheming mind is simply waiting for an
opportunity to emerge. Really, guys, the series people have been nice to me
lately and I get to hear about (and I hope get, to give to you) freebie
things like posters and "sunscream" and "Fang" dental floss, all part--along
with a blood drive ("Starve a Vampire: Donate Blood!) in New York. Even
Brazil is all het up about the books and the show. I've waited this long to
speak out, and my verdict is: give it a chance.
September--mid: Dark Visions:
vampire Gabriel Wolf isn't out for blood. He needs to drink the life
force directly out of young women. Locked up in juvenile detention for
most of his life; he has a chance to make good with Kaitlyn Fairchild (I
made up this name before anyone else--which is why you're seeing the
books reissued!). One of their many obstacles: Rob, who's blond,
handsome and madly in love with clairvoyant Kait. Another is that
someone is trying to kill them and their fellow teenage psychics at the
Zetes Institute For Paranormal Research.
October--end: Night World:
The Ultimate Fan Guide (A little gifftee book
with descriptions by my editor and comments by me--indluding some I had
to fight to keep in. Also from me, an open letter to my beloved readers,
the story of how you've changed my life, 10 FAQs, 25 facts about me and
the first two chapters of Strange Fate.
February, 2010: The Vampire Diaries: Shadow
Souls: A kinder, gentler Damon, a heart-torn Elena, and a
roadtrip that leads--literally--into Hell. What more could you want on
vacation with your best friends? The catch: even to get in you have to
wear a dog-collar and be considered the slave of the vampire that brings
you. Suddenly Damon learns what it's like to have three wives at once.
Meanwhile Stefan is languishing in prison, dependent on Elena's dreams
to keep him from dying. Plus, quite a twisty ending, if I do say so
myself.
The runner up winners of the A Batty Story Contest will be getting their
prizes. I apologize sincerely for taking so long to send them out ...
um, I've been a little busy madly writing Shadow Souls, which ended up
being 711 pages.
Last of all, thank you so much for your
messages, your kind words, and your support. You're my base, you know?
Anyway, thank you for buying books in gigantic numbers. And thank you
to my assistant Kerrie--because without her, nothing would ever get
done.
