The Blakes are rather different to your usual neighbours. They are vampires and some of the members of the family date back to the twelfth century. One of the children, Solange, is the only born female vampire known and, as such, she poses a direct threat to the vampire queen. Her best friend Lucy is human, and when Solange is kidnapped Lucy and Solange's brother, Nicholas, set out to save her. Lucy soon discovers that she would like to be more than just friends with Nicholas. But how does one go about dating a vampire? Meanwhile, Solange finds an unlikely ally in Kieran, a vampire slayer on the hunt for his father's killer.
Doug Lee is undead quite by accident—attacked by a desperate vampire, he finds himself cursed with being fat and fifteen forever. When he has no luck finding some goth chick with a vampire fetish, he resorts to sucking the blood of cows under cover of the night. But it’s just not the same.
Then he meets the new Indian exchange student and falls for her — hard. Yeah, he wants to bite her, but he also wants to prove himself to her. But like the laws of life, love, and high school, the laws of vampire existence are complicated — it’s not as easy as studying Dracula. Especially when the star of Vampire Hunters is hot on your trail in an attempt to boost ratings.

Yet there is more at stake than one battle with the Mistwraith -- as the sorcerers of the Fellowship of Seven know well. For between them the half-brothers hold the balance of the world, its harmony and its future, in their hands.

You are what you eat...
Cat's smart, sassy, and funny — but thin, she’s not. Until her class science project. That’s when she winds up doing an experiment — on herself. Before she knows it, Cat is living — and eating — like the hominids, our earliest human ancestors. True, no chips or TV is a bummer and no car is a pain, but healthful eating and walking everywhere do have their benefits.
As the pounds drop off, the guys pile on. All this newfound male attention is enough to drive a girl crazy! If only she weren’t too busy hating Matt McKinney to notice...
This funny and thoughtful novel explores how girls feel about their bodies, and the ways they can best take care of their most precious resource: themselves.
In a brutal nation of warriors, Jebel’s family holds the highest honor: his father is executioner. But Jebel is considered too thin to compete to replace him.
Humiliated and furious, Jebel vows to regain his honor in a quest to petition the fire god for invincibility. The journey is long, filled with unknown monsters. And by the end of it Jebel isn’t quite sure what he wants anymore.
In Darren Shan’s imaginative first standalone novel, he explores themes of religious tolerance and cultural understanding, and champions the idea that peace is often the bravest choice of all.

I almost bought Peter and Max the other day.... hmmm. These all sound like good picks, hope you can read them soon.
Great to see you have The Crown Conspiracy on your list (I'm the wife of the author). There is good news and bad news about Crown - the good news is Michael sold out his first printing. Most first time authors don't earn out their advance let alone sell out so that is good news...The bad news is until the second printing is done (could be as late as March) all the stores (online and retail) won't have copies (they all show it as "back ordered". There are a limited number (few hundred) that Michael and I bought awhile ago just in case there was a delay between the two print runs - so if you need a copy you can get one from http://www.michaelsullivan-author.com//special_offer_soldout.htm We are offering a 15% discount (Michael's author's discount isn't as high as Amazon's so we can't offer the 28% they have. But he can sign and dedicate them for you. His other 2 books (Avempartha and Nyphron Rising) are also on this page in case you want signed copies of them as well.
Sorry for the inconvience I'm harping on the publisher to get the second printing done ASAP but there is little I can do to push him along.
Thanks again for brining attention to Michael's books.
