It's almost here and I can't wait. I LOVE attending the Romantic Times Convention. It is a great convention for both writers and readers. There are a ton of panels for writing, and fun reader parties with a ton of free books and free food and drinks!
This year I was involved with some of the planning especially for the African-American and Multi-Cultural panels with my BFF Kimberly Kaye Terry.
We have an amazing line up of both editors looking for work and some amazing authors...
Check it out!

Happy Happy Joy Joy
Current mood:  triumphant
I’m doing the happy dance today.
I finally finished my lastest Nocturne story called ICE BOUND and it is off to my lovely editor Tara.
Now I am free to work on a new project with my brand new sparkley agent, Laura Bradford!!!
I just signed with her last week and couldn’t be more thrilled. She has the same vision I do for my career and I can’t wait to take this new journey with her by my side rooting for me.
It’s tres cool!

Supernaturally Sexy
Current mood: stoked
For the past 3 days all I've been doing is writing and watching Supernatural. I'm still on Season 1. I missed some episodes, so it was nice to catch up.
But to be honest the main reason I'm watching is well because of the hotness factor. I mean helloooo, Jensen Ackles is friggin' hawt! Fuck me. Is all I'm going to say...
(I tried to get a damn pic of him in here, but I couldn't get it to work) Fuck!
He has that look in his eyes, that hungry sexy raw look that makes my thighs tingle and my toes clench in anticipation. I won't lie, he's been the object of my erotic dreams of late.
Which is probably why I've been sleeping in...

Replacement Cover for INFERNO
Current mood:  anxious
This is my new cover for INFERNO. I just discovered it this past week. Well, my web designer Frauke discovered it, because I didn't know. Wasn't told.
I don't mind it. It's sexy. But I just wish someone would have told me. That's all. I like the comic book look of INFERNO, but maybe this one will sell better.
What do you think?
Which one do you like better?

INFERNO - first review
Current mood:  relieved
I received the first review for INFERNO, the sequel to HELL KAT. And I have to say I'm extremely relieved!
I was worried to say the least on this book. There's nothing harder than writing a sequel that has to live up to the original, be as good, or even better.
Thankfully, I think I succeeded.
Check it out!
WOW!! The continuing adventure of Hell Kat and Hades in this post-apocalyptic world makes for great reading...Ms. Anna has a deft touch and knows her characters well enough to introduce them to her readers. This is by no means a joyous book-it is very dark and scary, but the plot and the characters kept me reading. I was quite eager to see how Ms. Anna was going to resolve the variety of threads she was dangling and I wasn't disappointed. Inferno left me with a strong desire to read more of Vivi Anna's work. In addition, I hope that this is not the last that we see of Kat and Hades. - Marcy Arbitman, JERR
INFERNO is available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Official release date is November 26, from Kensington Aphrodisia
