Join the Vampire Bite Blog Hop! http://bit.ly/10OzyfX #vampirebloghop #bloghop #vampires #ValentinesDay @Joliedupre
Rules:
1. I'm an erotica author. Therefore, some other erotica authors might be drawn to this hop. For that reason, if you have a problem with erotica or if you're under the age of 18, you probably shouldn't be joining this hop.
2. Blogs that don't display the Vampire Bite Blog Hop badge will be deleted from the Linky list. (I will periodically go through the list on up to February 14.) Please contact me if you can't place the badge on your blog.
3. Blog about vampires. You decide. (Except see No. 4 and 5.) Some ideas?
Your new vampire book release
Twilight
Why you love vampires
Why you hate vampires
Sexiest vampires
Vampire movies
Best vampire characters
Interview with a vampire novelist
Real-life vampire stories
Vampire survival tips
Your vampire short story or flash fiction
4. Blogs that don't feature a vampire blog post on February 14 will be deleted from the Linky list. What time? I'll give you until 2:00 p.m., USA central time.
5. No religious or political rants. The Vampire Bite Blog Hop is supposed to be fun. When readers come to your blog, I don't want them feeling like they're reading a sermon or feeling like they're enduring a political ad. Take your religious and political rants elsewhere. Thanks.
I will read all blog posts, no matter how many, and I will leave a comment at each. I will promote each blog post to my over 6,000 followers on Twitter, and I will also retweet your tweets. I will promote your blog post on my Facebook author page, and I will promote your blog post on Google+.
I look forward to reading your vampire posts!!

Hey, Jolie. I blogged on a vampire flick earlier in 2012 - would it be ok to resurrect it for this, or would that not be in the spirit of the blog hop?
Some Dark Romantic
Hey Mina,
Absolutely! I look forward to seeing you at the hop!
I don't have any vamper material so I won't be a participant, but I will promote it on my blog for you all.

Fab! Then count me in! :-)
Great!
Thanks George!
Hi Jolie, a fabulous idea and I'm going to participate. I've signed up, I'm already tweeting about it and the badge is on my blog. But when I signed up, I noticed a little mistake in the closing date for sign up. It says 12/13/2013 right now. I thought I would let you know so that you can correct it.
Hello!
Thanks so much for catching the error. I must have re-read this page a million times and yet I failed to see it, LOL! Thank the Lord for editors! I look forward to reading your vampire post!!
Hi Jolie! This is a fabulous idea and I could talk about vampires forever! The badge is up on my blog and I'm signed up. Thanks for the opportunity! I'm also participating in another Valentine's Blog Hop, and I'll be having a giveaway for sure!
My vamps and I love this idea! Count us in! Already added the badge and tweeted it :)
You said you'd give bloggers until afternoon to post their vampire themed blog, however afternoon for say, a native of say, South Africa, is quite different than a person on the Pacific West Coast. Usually if I pre-post articles, I set them for 1 am PST, but I would hate to have that not be an adequate time frame. International online communities have taught me to be wary. Also, I predominately write mm fiction and was thinking on doing a short story for this. Would that be an issue or will need to do mf?
I think this will be a fun hop! Lots of readers and authors love vampires. I look forward to this, and thank you for participating!
Groovy!!!
Hi Cia,
I'm in Chicago on central time. You've left me this message. So no problem! The reason I wrote that I'll give people until the afternoon is because at my last hop I had a few people sign up but never post - even into the late afternoon. So I had to remove their blogs from that particular link. Also, I have ZERO issue with M/M. (I'm an erotica writer with an OPENED mind.) GLBT themes have NEVER been a problem for me. I look forward to reading your vampire post!!!
Great! Thanks for the reply; I just like to check things out before I add another commitment to my long list of stuff I'm trying to coordinate, lol. Life on the run, even online! Thanks for being open-minded, too. I've signed up and I'll have a story at least-we'll see about anything else when the date is closer.
Cool!
How could I possibly resist - so much fun and enough time to compose something, shall we say, odd?

Perfect!
ATTENTION: If you don't see the Linky list, it means Linky Tools is down. I'll be contacting the owner of Linky Tools if it doesn't come back up soon.

Signed up and ready to go!
Yep, that you are, and I can't wait to read your vampire blog post!!!!
Sounds fun! Love that it's on Valentine's. I will post about this on next Wednesday's link post, but won't know just yet if I can participate. Hopefully!

Hey Shannon!
Thanks, and I hope you can participate. It's going to be lots of fun!
Ah, this might be fun, I'm in!
Awesome!! I can't wait to read your post.
Great idea and a really universal topic! This will fit right in with both of my blogs (Sweet on Geek and Jason and Tara Argue About Movies). I've already put the code on the front page of each blog!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!! Thanks for participating with two blogs!! :-)
You're quite welcome! :)
This looks like fun! I'm joining in for some vampiric love!
Groovy, and yes, this is going to be fun! I can't wait!!
Vampires and Valentines day, why not! I can get behind that one!
Sounds good!
I'll include this in my Contest Circuit post on Monday. Great idea! ;)
I'm not really into the vampire thing, but looks like fun so I'm in!
Awesome!!! Thanks so much!!!
So happy to see you here, Stephen!!
Signed up!
My blog is table top gaming related, but I love vamps and have done quite a few vampire related posts in the past.
Great! Can't wait to read your post!!!
I'm in! And there are a few familiar names on here I see... ; )
I'm so happy you signed up Catherine! Yep, there should be some familiar names for you!!
I just finished a piece of fiction for this! I can't wait!
Signed up. :)
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!!
Great!
My blog is newly-started, but this is right up my alley - I've joined and just posted about it. Thanks for hosting!
Groovy!! Can't wait to read your post!
jamesdorrwriter here, with everything up and (seemingly) finally working. I will try to post something new every day through the 14th in the form of a key word or phrase to a past entry on my blog that concerns vampires in one way or another. Some may be useful, some not so much so, but all I hope will be fun (today's are links to two turn-of-the-Nineteenth-Century French paintings depicting vampires, along with a factoid about the lady in her nightie on the Vampire Bite Blog Hop badge).
Hey James,
Thanks for signing up. I look forward to reading your February 14 post, but it's awesome that you're posting about vampires on other days as well. I'll be sure to check out your blog!
Firts time around, so HI!
Just discovered your blog hop and I really liked the idea, so I'm in.
Can't wait to read the other entries.
Great to have you here, Elena!
You'll have me around more from now on, since you're fond of vampires.
Waiting for February 14!
First time for me here, too! Looks like a vampish good time!! WOOT looking forward to it. Thanks for arranging xx
I'm not one to do this, but I'm going to have to pull out of this one. Been wracking my brain for ages and I -still- can't think of anything to post. -_-
That's me at #20, btw.
Jolie - so sorry, like Aldrea I don't usually pull out of hops, but I have somehow managed to get behind on everything and I haven't got time now. :( I'm number 21 on the list. Good luck with the hop, it looks like loads of fun!
Sounds great!! We're going to have fun!!
No problem! Thanks for letting me know.
No prob! Thanks for informing me!
I removed blogs that did not feature the badge. If you've been removed, and you'd like to participate - 1. Sign-up before the deadline. 2. Place the badge on your blog. I'll be doing a final check as soon as the sign-ups for the hop closes.
Vampires, my favorite things :-). Looks like I found the blog hop just in time. Now I need to compose something for tomorrow. I already have a few ideas.
Awesome! I'm all excited for tomorrow!!!
Jolie, I am scheduling both of my blog posts (Sweet on Geek, Jason and Tara Argue) for 11 AM EST on the morning of the 14th (tomorrow). I'm going to be super busy and won't be around! If there is anything else I need to do, please let me know! Thanks for running this.
Tara
Sounds like you're all set!! Thanks!!
This is such a great idea. I've been round a lot of the sites in the hop already and there are some superb posts. Thank you so much for organising this.
I don't have any books on Vampires, so here is my chance!
thank you for the contest!
