I'm feeling a bit giddy today.

You see, I've been lurking around in the Facebook fan pages of my favorite Romance authors, one of them being (THE) Teresa Medeiros. I got caught in the World Cup fever so I decided to post David Beckham's picture on her wall.

And she liked him enough to create a post. Not only that, she mentioned my name. For a while I could not wipe the smile off my face.

Hmmn I wonder what my reaction will be if I meet a local author, say (THE) Jessica Zafra. Will I embarrass myself by screaming, or worse-fainting? I hope not.

The story opens in Amsterdam in 1972, when a teenage girl discovers a medieval book and a cache of yellowed letters in her diplomat father's library. The pages of the book are empty except for a woodcut of a dragon. The letters are addressed to: "My dear and unfortunate successor." When the girl confronts her father, he reluctantly confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, twenty years earlier, in a search for his graduate school mentor, who disappeared from his office only moments after confiding to Paul his certainty that Dracula--Vlad the Impaler, an inventively cruel ruler of Wallachia in the mid-15th century--was still alive. The story turns out to concern our narrator directly because Paul's collaborator in the search was a fellow student named Helen Rossi (the unacknowledged daughter of his mentor) and our narrator's long-dead mother, about whom she knows almost nothing.
