Yes, such a time of darkness did indeed exist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"books_text\">Nowadays Danielle writes about more than just vampires, but Fantasy and Paranormal will always be in her blood (get it? Blood? Come on, I&#8217;m killing it here!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"books_text\">When not writing, Danielle is boring&#8230;really, <em>really<\/em> boring. She fangirls over fictional characters and the (usually British) men who play them. She reads comics and watches cartoons (though she says she reads manga and watches anime &#8211; because saying it in another language makes all the difference.) She&#8217;s a big fan of Rifftrax, XKCD, and ThinkGeek, and in general, she embraces her geekiness and everything that comes with that title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"books_text\">Oh yeah, and she&#8217;s a mom and wife&#8230;if you want to include the sidestuff as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"books_text\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h1><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">So, you&#8217;re a writer?

I am a USA Today Bestseller of the Entwined Realms and the Fairy Tales &amp; Ever Afters series (that&#8217;s all for now, but there is always stuff in the works). As for what my scribbles contain&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Somehow it will be connected to Fantasy or Paranormal.<\/li>\n<li>There will be violence &#8211; especially from the women folk.<\/li>\n<li>It will have my sense of humor (such as it is).<\/li>\n<li>Excellent chance you&#8217;ll see some creatures of myths and legends making an appearance<\/li>\n<li>Even\u00a0though there is\u00a0humor, if I don&#8217;t make you cry during my story or at least make your heart hurt once, then I&#8217;ve done something wrong.<\/li>\n<li>And finally, always <em>always <\/em>there will be a strong romantic element to it, even if it is not classified as a romance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short &#8211; sex and violence, ba-bies! I got you covered both ways!<\/p>\n<p><p>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><strong>I&#8217;ve read your stories, and strangely enough &#8211; I like them!

This list is only used to announce when I have a new book out OR if I&#8217;m running a big contest &#8211; don&#8217;t want my list peeps to possibly miss out on getting free stuff! Other than that, I don&#8217;t bother you, and I promise on my Lord of the Rings Extended DVD collection I will never give your email out to anyone else.<\/p>\n<p><p>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>How do you feel about fanfiction\/fanart\/ fan anything-that-fandom-can-come-up-with?<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\nLove It, Love It, Love It! I honed my writing chops doing my own fanfic back in the day, so I am good with whatever fan way you want to use to express your enjoyment of my series. Have fun, and send me a copy of that fanart! (Legal Disclaimer: I can not\/will not\/shall not read any fanfic. I really appreciate the craft and dedication of the fanfic writers out there, but lawyers have gotten involved, and it would be a very bad idea for me to read any fanfic &#8211; so as much as I&#8217;d love too, I can&#8217;t. \ud83d\ude41 )<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Born to the pothole ridden streets of Pittsburgh, PA, Danielle started writing in a time long ago, a time when there were not enough vampire stories to read and she had to write her own to fill the void. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/about-dani\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-620","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/620\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daniellemonsch.com\/dani\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
