Hello People, my name is
Steven Van Patten, but my friends call me SVP.
I am the author of the Brookwater's Curse vampire novel series.
Brookwater`s Curse Volume I has been available for a little over two years and has received rave reviews, (check out Amazon.com) and recently was named an Award - Winning Finalist in the category of African- American Fiction in the National Best Books 2008 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. Meanwhile, Volume II was released in June of 2008 and won the Premier Book Awards Best Book For 2008 in the category of Mystery/Thriller/Horror and a host of other accolades. (www.premierbookawards.com).
The story revolves around Christian Brookwater, an 1860s Georgia plantation slave who becomes a vampire. During his many adventure Christian fights rednecks, werewolves and a host of deranged monsters, including the World's first vampires. The narrative is unlike anything depicted in the Blade series, if only for it's unique historical perspective and the social commentaries that are weaved into the story line.
However, while this is a very multicultural story, it is also very true to the vampire genre. There is a generous amount of sex and violence contained in these epics, and therefore is not for children, or people with delicate sensibilities.
For more information please check out my website by clicking on the book cover below or typing www.brookwaterscurse.com into your search engine.
There is a blog at the main website that contains many funny short stories I have written in an effort to explore my comedic side. I also make political/social commentary, like the 'Audacity of Short-Sightedness' article that you can read here on my Black Planet blog.
With all this going on-- (promoting the novels, writing blogs, holding down a day job as a stage manager for various New York-based TV shows AND directing the video at the bottom of my page)-- I don`t get out much. So feel free to hit me off with a private message or give the guestbook some love.
 If you send a message and I don`t get back to you right away, try me at svp@brookwaterscurse.com, or visit my main website, www.brookwaterscurse.com. If you are interested in ordering the book, you can go to Amazon.com, BN.com or anywhere books are sold online, or out there in the world.

Oh and two other things---
I respect the hustle in all it's forms; street hustle, internet hustle, side hustle, etc. and so on. However, if you're posting messages in my guest book in the hopes that you can lure me to a porno site, stop wasting your time.
I love naked women as much as the next cat, but I'm here on business, you feel me?
New Item: To the sleazy, Nigerian jackass who stole my B&W pic and built a Black Planet page, presumably so you could con women on Black Planet-- seriously dude, what's wrong with you?
Why are there so many more people trying to rip people off on BP than on MYSPACE? Has anyone else noticed this? Am I all alone in the world?!!
All of you out here trying to rob your brothers and sisters with these scams and schemes are cowardly, lazy and really should be ashamed of yourselves. There, I'm glad to get that off my chest!
