I love to read and I listen to music constantly. I like to sit(with earbud-directed music pulsing into my ears) and watch people. I have a t-shirt that reads: "I love poetry, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick." That sums me up. And I LOVE movies!

I'm a romantic so I love movies of honor, love, sacrifice and redemption. I want to be moved emotionally, to ache, to wish I could be a hero worthy of a heroic musical score. I also love dark humor, entertain me! Some of my favorites are: Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings, Desperado, Last of the Mohicans, The 13th Warrior (I sense a theme...lol), The Crow, Moulin Rouge, Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness, Night at the Roxbury, Galaxy Quest. Oh! And my new fav is WANTED!!
Television
Books
I ADORE books! If I was a cat, I'd purr and rub my face against my books then roll all over them, very content! When I hold a book in my hands, I hold endless possibilities, new worlds, some very dark and very strange, some horrifying, others heartbreaking. A book feels sure and solid in my hands, a lifeline when I'm slipping beneath reality's dark tide...
I loved the first three or four of Anne Rice's VAMPIRE CHRONICLES, then she lost her mind and/or found God and everything went downhill.
LORD OF THE DEAD, a captivating read about Lord Byron transformed into a vampire while in Turkey during the early 1800s. Wow!!
THE ALIENIST by Caleb Carr.
WICKED GAME by Jeri Smith-Ready.
There are tons of others. I'll add them as I think of them!

John Keats,
Stephen King,

THE MAKER'S SONG series: Book One: A RUSH OF WINGS, Book Two: IN THE BLOOD, Book Three: BENEATH THE SKIN coming from Pocket in mass market paperback January 2010.
"Hard-charging action sequences, steamy sex scenes, and a surprising government conspiracy make this debut, the
first in a series, engrossingly fun."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Sharp, wicked, and hot as sin."
-- Marjorie M. Liu, New York Times
bestselling author of THE IRON HUNT
"...a dark, rich, sensual treat, where heroes and
villains alike are fascinating and three-dimensional. Adrian Phoenix uses a perfect blend of suspense, romance, and lyrical prose to keep readers up until late, late at night turning pages. I can't wait to read more about
Dante and about the complex, multifaceted world in which he lives."
-- Jenna Black, author of THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
"This one pulled me in from the first page.
Heather and Dante are among those rare
characters readers so often look for and seldom
find."
-- Barb Hendee, bestselling coauthor of TRAITOR TO THE BLOOD
"Phoenix continues to torment her damaged hero as the protagonists in this supernatural thriller suspect they are pawns in a much larger game. The atmosphere is dark, and treachery abounds, making this story white-knuckle reading in the extreme."
--Romantic Times
"Phoenix trips the dark fantastic in this wild, bloody sequel to 2008's A Rush of Wings...she keeps the plot thick and the tension high."
--Publisher's Weekly
"Filled with twisting plots, shadow government agencies, conspiracies, and betrayals, In the Blood kept me hooked from page one. This dark urban fantasy is not only action-packed from beginning to end, but at its core it is also a story of hope and love..."

The last time I wrote you I told you how great Rush of Wings was now I want to say the same for In the Blood! Why is your next book not coming out until next year? I don't know if I can wait that long! Lol I really enjoy reading your books. I love you have everything in your books. Romance, sex, blood, violence, sci fi, magical, god-like...etc. I wish Jan of 2010 were here already...I want to pick up where I left off. Is Lucien really dead? Or was Lilith lying so Dante would help her first? I'm so confused!!! lol Anyway, I think you made another great masterpiece. Thought you deserved to know.
Thanks for the add! I hope you had a good weekend and are doing better! I have almost finished reading A Rush of Wings and love it! I can't wait to read the next one!
Hi Adrian, thanks for the friending. I look forward ot reading more of your work. Oh! Hey! I use to live in Springfield many many moons ago, how cool is that. :D Have a great week!
Hey, I dunno if youre the one who actually looks at this or if your PR people run it, but lets just say I see alot of me and people I know in every part of your books. And just for a funny...Annies ringtone "Living Dead Girl" is the message I use on my answering machine. Its one of my theme songs. Thanks for the friendship, and I hope you keep getting better.
Hey Adrian, Just wanted to see how you are feeling. Hope everything is healing good. I got your bookplates in the mail a few weeks ago and was meaning to write, but then you were in the hospital. So, i hope your feeling better. And thank you for the awesome bookplates! :) Jamie:)
In the Blood is a new favorite at my bookstore. Once they see me reading a new author, it is only a matter of time, before they hit Books-a-million or Barnes and Nobles to snag it themselves and then they trickle down to my store. I had 15 copies brought in Saturday, the most of any new author of yet. Amazing, we love you in Louisiana! Rayne/Charley
Just a short pimp job tonight. Marquee, my chapbook, was released by Insidious Publications last week - limited edition (125 softcovers, 26 Lettered), signed by myself and Tom Moran (illustrator).
