About Me
I read Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Light Fantasy, Young Adult and Graphic Novels in said genres. I’ve also been known to read the odd historical romance if they involve uber-sexy highlanders, vikings or knights & if they involve some time travel and a lot of humor. Heh!

I can’t say that I have had any experiences with magicians, vampires or newspaper reporters. Great review of Night’s Pleasure.
Hmm, not magicians specifically, but one of my favorite songs of all time is “Magic Show” by the now defunct band Push On Junior. Great lyrics: “…he knows that this crowd is his, because they want to believe, yeah, they want to believe… and watch the magic show.”
On a visit my grandfather’s when I was a teenager, he took me to see a magic show. I was picked by the magician to be hypnotized. It didn’t work. The magician was trying to put me to sleep. I remember wanting to just get off the stage, so I pretended to fall asleep. Just a weird experience.
Blog’d contest: http://fantasydreamersramblings.blogspot.com/2009/02/nights-pleasure-by-amanda-ashley.html
I wish I’d had an experience with a vampire! I had a reporter once ask to take my picture at Oktoberfest.
I subscribed via email
My dad used to work for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Some of the people he knew worked in the newsroom. It was pretty cool to hear that he knew some of these people and his impression of them (he liked some and others, of course were such jerks!)

Great review. I have had a boring life and never had an experience with any of those.
I subscribe via Google Reader.
Heh…I tried being a news reporter briefly. I decided I had too much imagination for it.
Jana
I haven’t had an experience with any of these…
I signed up to be a follower via email.
I can do some magic tricks but I haven’t actually met a real magician.
I signed up to receive your emails:)
Hi Sidhe! I have to say that I have not had any experiences with magic, but I love the song Do You Believe In Magic by The Lovin Spoonful. I’ve never been in the newspapers but my son has been in them several times and also on TV. I subscribe to your Blog via email and I would love to win a copy of Night’s Pleasure!
i get the emails, but to the question
nope, to all. im so dull LOL
Hi, Virginia, I live in Pittsburgh!
The most I can contribute is that I saw David Copperfield live a while back (he’s not very popular at the moment lol).
When I was in high school, a bunch of buys thought they were vampires, and would use little daggers to cut themselves and let other people suck their blood and would convince the other people to reciprocate. Needless to say, I never participated.
I’m subscribed through google reader.
I’ve posted this on Win A Book. No need to enter the contest, though.
I once saw David Copperfield as a friend took me to one of his shows on my birthday, he was amazing!
My father is an amateur magician doing magic shows for kids. I wish I had an experience with a vampire!!! I subscribed with Google Reader.
Great comments everyone! It’s alright if you don’t have any stories to tell, altough if you want to write a little fiction about meeting a vampire, that’s ok too!
Holy smokes Mo, That’s crazy what was going on in your high school! Yikes! 8)
i absolutely adore amanda ,and her books, please enter me
We were in a car accident just over a year ago and the television news reporter and camera man was there even before the fire truck. It was amazing how much bigger the story was when it hit the news than what actually happened.
Thanks for entering me.

Hi Judi
About a year ago a reporter from a small Alabama newspaper (can’t remember the name) was writing an article about vampire fiction and emailed me wanting my “expert” opinion on the genre. That was my 15 seconds of fame.
I met a magician at a Renaissance Faire once! We sat on hay and he did all matter of tricks for us dressed as Merlin or something.

Great review!
Vampires and Goths oh my! There was a well known club in T.O that closed its doors in 2000 called The Sanctuary Vampire Sex Bar. It was the longest-runnning gothic bar and was open seven days a week. SVSB was the first industrial club in Canada, and it served as an introduction to the scene for many. I was lucky enough to have visited the bar on several occasions, and thoroughly enjoyed mingling with those within, especially the ones who took the time to create their own vampire persona.
Ah, vampires. I think I met one once. Or maybe the guy was just really pale. You never can tell these days. If you want a definite experience, I did go see David Copperfield in Las Vegas.
I can’t say that I have had any experiences with any of the above but I have had a stalker and he thought he was a vampire. Very creepy if you ask me. I guess he didn’t make a good vampire because the police had no problems catching him lol.
I cannot say that I have had any experiences with magicians, vampires or newspaper reporters. Although as a child I tried learning a few cards tricks to show my cousins. Sadly as an adult I forgot all of them.
I follow your blog via email.
I blogged about this contest at my LJ: http://okibi-insanity.livejournal.com/4564.html#cutid1

Hi, It’s great that I found your blog. I love reading about vampires and the supernatural.I often listen to books on CD on my commute to and from work.This is the only time I have to enjoy my hobby. Thanks for all your reviews and blogs. Keep up the great job!!!
Currently I work with a young male who has hair growing wildly out of his ears, down his neck and along side his face and if I didn’t know better I’d think he was a
werewolf! Yet I see you aren’t asking about my experiences with werewolfs, okay newspaper reporter who stopped me on the street to find out what I was reading and he posted a comment that sounded like I was wondering what life would be like if I had married my HS sweetheart vs my husband. My husband got a lot of jabbing for that one! : }
Thanks!

I once had a newspaper reporter take a picture of me
Now days there are a lot of reporters who are vampires and magicians. I’ve met a view in my town, unfortunately! Great review, this sounds good and I look forward to reading it. I follow through email subscription. Great blog!
Great review of “Night Pleasures”.
I’ve never had an experience with magician’s, newspaper reporters or vampires though I have read books with newspaper reporters and vampires.
I was on the newspaper staff in college – no experience with vampires though. count me in to win
never was fortunate to encounter any of those thanks for the giveaway
The only magician I’ve seen was on a cruise ship. No experience with vampires though
I was a reporter on my grade school newspaper, still have those papers
I used to date a magican. It was always fun watching his trick, but he never shared any with me.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My only experience with a magician would be when we went to Branson and took in a show. It was pretty cool.
Hmmm. Magicians well I have had some naughty thoughts about that good looking magician who made the Statue of Liberty disappear. (sorry I cannot remember his name now).
I once made a comment to a reporter “off the record” and found it in print the next day. I’d have liked to have sent a mean vampire her way!
I would love to read this. I saw Penn & Teller on New Years Eve several years ago. It was an amazing performance.
Thanks
I was an amateur magician and ventriloquist in high school. It was pretty fun and I even performed at a kid’s birthday party once.
The main experience that I have with newspaper reporters happened when I taught salsa dancing a few years back. I sent out a press release and the local paper did a big write up on our weekly salsa nights. It was a blast!
