DRINK SLAY LOVE Movie Viewing Party

Photos of the vampire-themed treats from my recent celebration of the #DrinkSlayLove movie premiere!  We had Buffy Brownies, The Count's Cookies, Edward Cullen Cupcakes, Vampire Donuts..... and of course, in honor of Pearl, plenty of mint chocolate chip ice cream!

Tearing up while setting the DVR...

Never before have I teared up while setting the DVR.......

In July 2009, I started brainstorming a quirky story about a kickass vampire girl who reluctantly develops a conscience. In September 2011, that story became a book. In May 2015, I got a call from my agent that a producer wanted to option that book for film. In August 2016, to my amazement and giddy joy, they actually started filming it. And this morning, I set my DVR to record it. Surreal, absolutely surreal.

The DRINK SLAY LOVE movie premieres on Saturday, September 16 at 10pm ET/PT on Lifetime.  Please spread the word and set your DVRs! #PageToScreen #DrinkSlayLove
