Hello my internet friends! I’m the author of companion guides to Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries, and under the pen name Liv Spencer, have co-authored 5 books (on The Mortal Instruments, Twilight, iCarly, Taylor Swift, and Pretty Little Liars). My day job is as managing editor of ECW Press, where I edit non-fiction books that range in topic from pop science to pop stars, as well as YA fiction (!). When not at work, I mostly read YA fiction but like to mix it up every so often. Recommendations welcome!
I post recaps/reactions/reviews of The Vampire Diaries over at Vampire-Diaries.net, a genius website that covers the entirety of the TVD fandom. Here I blog on other shows, bookish things & random life stuff.

hi you are a really good writer and i have read your first column on TVD whis is my favorite show just wanted to say how amazing you are and to keep it up :)
Dear Crissy,
Firstly let me apologize for my poor English as it’s not my mother language. I’m from Czech Republic (Middle Europe) and our language is very different from English.
I would only like to thank you for your perfect recaps presented on web site http://www.vampire-diaries.net. I like it very much though I have to read it with my dictionary because your flowery style, similar to our best fairy-tale writers, is really difficult for my understanding :-)
I’m not teenager long since, but I have been watching TVD with pleasure. It brings me to the world of fantasy, love, danger and great acts; it gives me a couple of minutes out of a real world. Here in CR it is difficult to find someone who thinks about this series with such interest and love as you do. Thank you very much for being here with your recaps, your thoughts, ideas, remarks which are pretty clever and adult. I’m so happy that I’m not only one “adult” who loves TVD and appreciates its poetics.
Please stay with us for Season 3, I’m looking forward to your other recaps, your opinion regarding our love triangle and also all other loved characters in Mystic Falls.
I like you, you should know it :-)
thanks Petra and Christina! I will be doing season 3 recaps at Vampire-Diaries.net :)
I am SO excited you let us know Amazon was shipping Love You to Death Season 2 early! Mine is on the way…as soon as it arrives I know I will read it cover-to-cover I enjoyed your Season 1 book so much! I can hardly contain myself!
Hi, I have just finished reading ‘Spotted’. I loved it! Now that book covered season 1 and 2.. when will we see Spotted for season 3 and 4????
