I'm pleased to announce I'll be sailing with Vamps at Sea, June 23-30 2012, on a vampire themed cruise to Alaska as a guest speaker. Yay!!
Let the party-planning begin!!
Here are some of the AWESOME things the cruise organizer has planned while we're not in port:
- Q & A with Guests from the Vampire World
- Scavenger Hunt
- Late Night Disco Parties
- Photo Shoot
- Movies
- Vampire Ball & Cocktail Party with original vampalicious drinks!
- Trivia Contests & Games for prizes
- Charity Auction
- Vamps Got Talent – Showcasing you!
- Vendors Room
- Fan Fiction Writing Contest
If you'd like to spend a week viewing the gorgeous scenery and partying with your fellow fans of the undead, here's what you need to do:
1) Visit Vamps at Sea website -- note the kick-butt guest speakers Dacre Stoker and John Edgar Browning. And double WOW, Nelsan Ellis from True blood will be on board! They are the hunky male counter parts to my sassy and loud-mouthed self ;-)
2) Check out the itinerary located at the bottom of the page showing all the fabulous Alaskan ports and then jump to the special group rate pricing available for the trip.
3) If you decide to book, mention you're a member of Vivian's Seethe to receive a special goodie bag and an invitation to a seethe-members only cocktail party with plenty of yummy appetizers and drinks included.
4) FACEBOOK -- whoot! "Like" Vamps at Sea page on Facebook to stay connected with updates from our cruise organizer, Linda Wolf. Visit the Vamps at Sea group on Facebook and mingle with all the guests!
5) Figure out which exciting ship activities you plan on attending and start packing!
Do you plan on going to the costume party? Or the author Q & A with yours truly? You know I'll be at both and I'll probably be the one you have to watch out for in the scavenger hunt ( I love those things!).
I also plan to attend some special Sunset Cocktail gatherings with attendees -- you'll see the details and such on the Facebook group, Vamps at Sea 2012.

ATTENTION AUTHORS!!
Did you write a vampire book and would like to donate a signed book to a good cause? Vamps at Sea is organizing items for a charity auction, to benefit the American Red Cross and the Leukemia Society.
I've volunteered to organize authors and their books, so if you'd like to include your books please contact me at cj@cjellisson.com. I'll need all materials prior to mid-May 2012.
Don't have a print book you can send or would like to include some swag?
I've got special goodies bags going out to everyone attending who is associated with "Vivian's Seethe" and would be happy to include a discount or freebie code on a business card to your vampire book -- please contact me and we can discuss details.
