Thanks for the reblog, Yawatta. I sure enjoyed writing my vampire story and being a part of this fab anthology.

Yawatta: Do you still review novels?
I have a new novel out, Lebo, written by a young student from Botswana. I helped with editing and some rewrites, but she’s the author. It’s not a long novel, can be read in a couple of hours. If you’d have an interest in looking at it, you can see it by going to Amazon.com and just search dj swykert, and you’ll see Lebo. Or, you can visit my website: http://www.magicmasterminds.com/djswykert/

Hi DJ,
How are you? No, I’m not actively book reviewing–no time. I hope she has good luck with her book Lebo.

I got my copy! (And I read One by One as well, by the way! 🙂 )
Hi Willow,
Cool beans! You’ll have to let me know what you think of the vampire anthology. Oh man, thanks for reading One By One. I still can’t believe I wrote that like 5 years ago…time flies by fast!
Keep smiling,
