Book News: HarperCollins acquires The Dark Heroine: Dinner with a Vampire from teen author Abigail Gibbs!



The sexiest romance you’ll read this year…

One moment can change your life forever…

For Violet Lee, a chance encounter on a darkened street draws her into a world beyond her wildest imaginings, a timeless place of vast elegance and immeasurable wealth – of beautiful mansions and lavish parties – where a decadent group of friends live for pleasure alone. A place from which there is no escape… no matter how hard Violet tries.

Yet all the riches in the world can’t mask the darkness that lies beneath the gilded surface, embodied in the charismatic but dangerous Kaspar Varn.

Violet and Kaspar surrender to a passion that transcends their separate worlds – but it’s a passion that comes at a price…



**************

Ooooh...I've been craving another vampire novel ever since I finished Rebecca Maizel's Stolen Night a couple weeks back, and I think this might just be it!

There's a lot of buzz surrounding The Dark Heroine: Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs, not only because the author is just seventeen years old, but also because she already has a huge online following via Wattpad, where her work has over 17 million reads. Wow! Colour me impressed! If anyone has read the book on Wattpad or has reviews to share, I would love to hear your thoughts!





Abigail Gibbs started posting her writing on Wattpad in September 2009, and overnight she achieved 95 reads and three fans. For the past three years she has continued to post chapters of her novel The Dark Heroine: Dinner With a Vampire, on to the site and to date they have been read almost seventeen million times. Nearly 25,000 people have commented on her work and 91,000 people have voted for it, generating a truly global audience. None of her readers have yet to discover the breathtaking end to her novel which will be published in ebook and paperback format later this month.



Abigail Gibbs - “From first picking up a pen to writing online on wattpad, I have always aspired to see my work in print and I feel extremely privileged to have such an enthusiastic and supportive team behind The Dark Heroine at HarperCollins. I hope my experience as a teenage writer will inspire young people everywhere to develop the craft, even in the face of pesky distractions like school!”
