About me:
If I were a vampire, I would be that much cooler.
Alas...I only write about them.My award-winning debut novel, MASTER Book 1: Crimson, is the first installment in a (hopefully) 7-part vampire series. If you like vampires, homoeroticism, shady celebrities, dark humor, kinky violence, and lots of bloodsucking, then you're in for a savory slice of literature, my friend. Please visit http://www.janebled.com for full details!

Happy Post-Memorial Day! In honor of Back-to-Work-Tuesday, I’ve made a new youtube podcast post! It’s a two-parter, filled with goofy flavor, nutty anecdotes, and a couple of tempting excerpt treats from my stories Poison & MASTER Book 1: Crimson. There’s also a snippet from one of my original song compositions & a bonus blooper reel.
Part 2 of my excerpt-happy Post-Memorial Day podcast.
Halloween 2009
For Halloween 2009, I put together my own costume and makeup, and gave myself the name Catfight Callgirl. My friend Amy went as Pink Lasso, and my fiance Nobu went as Creepy Bob. Are we nuts or what?
Birthday Party at Soho
My friends and I went to DJ Holly's karaoke birthday party at Soho (the coolest local bar ever) and had a blast.
Who I'd like to meet: No one compares to my soulmate, with whom I'm already deeply acquainted.
But here are some famous people I wouldn't mind meeting...Stephen King (my idol), Drew Barrymore (everyone says I look like her, so I might as well find out if it's true), HYDE (maybe he can lend me the secret of eternal youth), Kyo, the lead singer of Dir en grey (it takes guts to be that fucked up in front of people), and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (shut up, she like, totally saved a ton of lives).
