About Me

Hey everyone, I'm Ciara Griffin. I do marketing and promotions for WVMP: The Lifeblood of Rock ‘n’ Roll . It’s a vampire radio station in Sherwood, Maryland. Click on that link to visit our site. (Do me a favor and buy a T-shirt while you’re there, okay? My performance review is coming up.)

So anyway, yeah, a vampire radio station. All our DJs are undead. That’s how they know their music so well—they’re kind of stuck in time. They speak the slang and wear the fashions of their eras, which can make them embarrassing to be seen in public with. But they’re also gorgeous, so I'm not complaining. We all need a little eye candy, right? Or eye triple-chocolate-mousse.

A pretty exciting thing is happening right now: our story is being told (in a highly fictionalized fashion) in a new novel, Wicked Game by Jeri Smith-Ready. You can read the back cover and an excerpt on Jeri’s website. Then go order it from Mysterious Galaxy or from Amazon .
“A colorful premise and engaging characters” — Library Journal

The sequel, Bad to the Bone, is coming out May 19. Things get worse (and better) for me in that one. Click on the cover to read more, including an excerpt.

Bad to the Bone (sequel to Wicked Game) — Coming May 19!

Pre-order at Mysterious Galaxy , Amazon.com , or Barnes and Noble .

When I’m not promoting the undead or having my deepest secrets revealed in novels, I’m working on my business degree (with a concentration in marketing) at Sherwood College. I’ve been there six years already, and I’m so ready to graduate. It’s taken me this long because I’ve had to take every other semester off to earn money. Let’s not discuss how.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Courtney Love. Plus, people who like music and/or vampires.

Eat your heart out, George Clooney!

So I was ego-surfing this morning and found this awesome review of our "fictional" adventures, Wicked Game.  I'm used to be touted as "irrepressible" and "complex", and one of my favorite authors...

Small/Big correction to profile

I just realized that all this time my Status was marked "Single" instead of "In a Relationship."  Sorry, Shane!Hee.  No wonder Dante was being such a flirt. Probably thought my Status was a ...

Meyer vs. Meyer vs. Meyer - the race is on!

So after a lot of prodding, I've decided to read Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT series.  I love me some vampires (real and fictional), but I've never been much of a reader of young adult books. ...
