Autumn has arrived here in Northeastern Ohio, bringing with it crisp weather, all things pumpkin, and beautiful fall foliage. The trees are only starting to reveal their brilliant hues of orange, yellow, gold and red here, but soon I'll awaken to a glowing landscape that seemingly exploded overnight. As this season traditionally brings many requests for fall themed library materials, as well as special fall programming, I was inspired to think of ways that technology may add further enjoyment and educational opportunities to this time.
The best way to experience the beauty of fall is to strap on your hiking shoes and venture to the nearest wooded park (or your backyard!). Bringing along your smartphone or tablet, loaded with fall foliage apps, can enhance your exploration of autumn's beauty. Children of a variety of ages will enjoy learning more about our natural environment with these apps and websites highlighted below, although most young users not yet in elementary school may need some parent or caregiver help.
- Yankee Leaf Peepr– This free app by Yankee Publishing Inc., available for Apple and Android devices, provides you with a very handy color-coded map that indicates where the leaves are changing anywhere in the United States. Users contribute to the map by posting photos and ratings of the foliage, making this app not only useful, but
interactive. The current foliage color is determined by averaging user ratings in a geographic area.
- Chimani apps- These apps, offered as free downloads on all major mobile platforms, are a really fun way to explore various National Parks. They help you with planning your trip, letting you know when Ranger-led trips occur, and more. These apps work with or without WiFi or a data signal, which is especially helpful when you are out on the trail.
- LeafSnap– Once you've found some beautiful leaves, you may be left wondering what kind of tree they're a part of. Make this a great learning opportunity with LeafSnap! Developed by researchers at Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institute, LeafSnap helps users identify trees by allowing users to take a picture of a leaf from the tree and then providing them with the species. The app is free for iPhone and iPad, and also has a website displaying tree species. The only negative is that this is only usable for species found in the Northeastern United States and Canada.
- U.S. Forest Service website and Yonder app– The U.S. Forest Service has partnered with Yonder, a free app, to help nature lovers share their adventures. The website also provides a map of fall color based on eyewitness accounts and allows users to choose their state or local forest to see specific fall foliage information. You can find weekly color updates in your state using this tool!
- Foliage Network – The fall foliage prediction map on this website helps users visual the changing leaves around the United States and plan when to see the most beautiful colors in your neighborhood.
You can pair these fun apps and websites with traditional activities for a great autumn library program. How about leaf rubbing (which was recently discussed here on the blog), sharing a classic fall read-aloud such as Ehlert's "Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf" and then using LeafSnap to identify the tree outside the storytime window? There are many possibilities to incorporate technology and nature into library programs and family time. What are some of your favorite hi- or low-tech autumn extension activities? ___________________________________________________________

This post is part of an ongoing series at The Open Book answering questions about book marketing and publicity.
In our last Marketing 101 post, I discussed what to do while waiting for your book to release. One of those recommendations was to refine your online presence. Today I'll drill down into more detail on that point, focusing on the place where your online presence starts:
your website.
These days, it is absolutely essential for any published author or illustrator to maintain a personal website. I repeat: it is essential!Using your publisher's website as your online home base is not a good solution for a couple reasons:
1) You may have many different publishers over the course of your career, and there won't be one place where people can see all your books.
2) Publishers won't have room for all the information you'll want to include.
3) You need to be able to update your website as often as you need to, without going through a third party.
Some authors choose to create their own sites, while some choose to hire a company to design sites for them (I would advise against having a personal friend build your website unless they are able to teach you to manage and update it yourself). This blog post has some great suggestions for how to build a site yourself. Of the DIY options, WordPress is probably the most popular free option, while Squarespace is a good paid option that provides some additional functionalities like e-commerce. The most important thing to consider when choosing where/how to build your site is sustainability: will you be able to maintain and update the website easily on your own once it is built?
Websites can range from the very basic to the very complicated, but all author websites should include a few key pages:
- Bio and author photo. Every website should have an "About" section where people can learn who you are, where you're from, and what inspires you. Offer more than what people can glean from flap copy alone. Some authors choose to offer both a short bio and a longer bio. We recommend also offering a link to a hi-resolution author photo that people can download for use in event promotions, reviews, etc. If you've done any interviews, you should also post links to them here. Not only does this offer additional ways to learn more about you, but it's a nice way of showing off some of the media coverage you've accrued.
- Books. No author website is complete without an UPDATED list of all your books. At the bare minimum, you should include the title, cover, and a brief description of each book. For upcoming books, include a release date – and don't forget to change the book to available once it is released. If you have space, you should also include some of the book's positive reviews and any awards that the book has won. Finally, always include links for people to purchase the book directly: we recommend linking to Indiebound, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the Author's Website.
- Events and Appearances. What kinds of visits do you do? What ages do you work with? If you have an education background or any special skills that make you especially good as a presenter, include them here. You may also want to ask contacts from past school visits if they are willing to write testimonials that you can share here. You may even want to include a few photos or video from one of your visits. You don't need to include honorarium information, but you do need to include a contact where people can learn more. If you don't want to be your own contact, use a contact from one of your publishers for visit inquiries.
- Social Media and Contact Information. Links to any social media channels you use should be front and center on your page, so people can find you easily. Only link to social media channels you keep updated—if you only posted on Twitter once, two years ago, it's best not to direct people there until you begin using the platform regularly. Also include a way for people to reach you: this could be through a general email address, a direct email address, or even through snail mail sent to your publisher at your attention. You can choose to be as reachable as you want, as long as you offer some way for readers to get in touch.
Those are the four absolute must-haves for any author website. Beyond that, there are a few other elements that I'd recommend including if you are able:
- Schedule/Upcoming Events. This is not a necessity, but some authors like to keep an updated list of the events they will be attending on their websites. It's a great way to promote events you'll be at and encourage fans to come out to support you, and it can also help generate additional event invitations. There's one caveat: only add this page if you are going to keep it updated. There's nothing worse than an author website that lists "Upcoming Events" that actually took place years ago.
- Resources. Some authors create additional resources to go with their books, but even if you don't create your own, it is likely that someone else will. Your website is a great place to compile these so readers can find them. You can link to these resources on your book page, or create a separate page for them. Either way, making these resources available through your website will help educators who want to use your books with students.
- Email Collection. From the release of your first book (and even before that), you should work to build up your base of contacts. An easy way to do this is to create a place on your website to capture emails, where people can subscribe to receive updates on your work. Most website building platforms should have an easy way to do this. Building an email list can go a long way in helping you promote new titles when they are released.
Beyond these elements, the sky is the limit. Your website should reflect you, so feel free to include other pieces of information that you think readers would like. Whatever you do, your first priority should always be to keep your website UPDATED with your newest book information (even between books), so it doesn't become obsolete.

So, I'm waiting for Animoto to finish my booktalk preview I show when the kids are all coming in.
As I'm doing that, I started thinking about all the sites and apps I use or think about using when I begin creating my booktalk. So here are some you may find just as amazing to use as I do.
Online image editors:
Thanks to creative online genius,the perfect image editor was born! PicMonkey allows users to upload and modify images from cropping to color to frames and so much more! I use it when creating my book trailers to add depth and complexity to just another flat image. And the extras are awesome! Create/add zombie, vampire, and ghost features as well as themed backgrounds and textures. This is a go-to must have website. Currently, it has no app, but some things are better to manipulate online.
Need to find something out of the ordinary to use for your blog, presentation or to share? Imagechef may be the answer to your needs. Creates anything from personalized notes to word mosaics to so much more. And it's all free! And this site has a companion app, so either way you can create and share.
Video creators, web-based and app-based:
Gotta love Animoto! If you haven't used it for awhile, you're in for a nice surprise. The reconfiguration now includes different video styles, awesome CC music, and instant social media sharing. As always, you can include video and text into this. Worth the price (but you can get an educator discount!) No wonder this is a cornerstone of technology for education! Animoto has an app but search in the iPhone section. Currently there isn't one for the iPad.
If you want to try something new without the headache of learning a difficult platform like Adobe or Sony, make your way over to ProShow Web. Their free account allows users to create a full-on video or trailer with a lot of the intuitive bells and whistles of other video programs. The only caveat is the free version will only allow 15 photos, but text is unlimited. I made a full trailer using Proshow with really excellent results! There's an app for that as well
And the fun continues with those powerful little creatures called apps...
This is what I have in my photography folder on my iPad, and I use these for personal and educational use. The sky's the limit on these!
Image Editing Tools
ColorBlast!Lite: allows you to upload and create a beautifully modified picture that contains color within a black and white photo. Post it on social media or email to yourself. It's addicting!
Instagram: enough said. Contains several filters to give you boring picture pizazz and pop! When you create an account, you can also view it online but only if it's a public account. Allows sharing and email
Photofunia: Take a pic and instantly make it into so many other items, including billboard signs, book pages, magazine covers, and so much more. Also includes many filters you can use within categories. Save, email or share via social media. This is SUPER fun!!
Pho.to Lab: does the same thing as Photofunia and is an excellent alternative. Just have fun with this and the creativity and imagination will begin to flow.
Snapseed: The ultimate in photo editing on your iPad. Contains many tools to edit and diversify your photo. The best way to learn this is download and play with the image already provided. You'll be hooked. Hands down my favorite image editing app.
Pixlromatic: take an image, choose from the many options of filters, backgrounds and frames, and you've successfully modified it into something gorgeous!
Video Apps
Vine: Got six seconds? That's all you get with this nifty video app. Video what's most important to you and Vine creates a collaged video worthy of sharing. You can share or embed them as well as create your own account. People are doing some pretty cool things with this app!
VidRhythm: Okay, I don't use this when creating book trailers, but I had a blast creating one! You pick the song, style, and follow the directions while recording. The end result is, well...just see for yourself :)
Picture Collages
Frametastic: You decide what frames, theme and images to use, the app will put it together for you. Simple as that.
PicCollage: like frametastic, you can build a collage from your pics, Facebook, or camera. Then put in some text, add stickers and your collage is done. Even more than that, with creativity, you can make a quick infographic to send out and share.

Keeping up with tools is an ongoing pursuit because of the amazing turn-around (or turnover) of web tools. Some are designed for the classroom, and those that aren't can be harnessed and adapted to use in the classroom, with the right amount of ingenuity. Today, instead of talking about web tools, I'm going to direct you to three great sites instead.
1. wikiHow: http://www.wikihow.com
This site has saved me from wasting time trying to find out information from technology to making scones. You put in a topic, and more often than not, wikiHow will have a step-by-step tutorial (along with images) to get you to the end. What I like about this site is that it isn't as bulky as Youtube, where trying to find out information can sometimes be like pulling a tooth. How many of us out there besides me gets frustrated with the length of time to watch it, only to find out that it's not the actual information you may need. And to top if off, I have to wait for adverts to pop in at the beginning...You can avoid ALL of that unnecessary waste of time by using wikiHow. Try it...you may find it's your first go to when you need a quick answer
2. Top 100 Tools for Learning 2014: http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/
I typed this in to search for new tools to try and lo and behold! The Brits have uploaded their top tools list! What's so great about this list is that it's a compilation of tools voted on by over 1,000 learning professionals from over 60 countries. That's what I call global collaboration!! You may know several of them, you may know a few. It doesn't matter which side you may rest on, it's the fact that these ARE amazing tools and ones educators should get to know on a more personal level
3. Discovery Education Web 2.0 Tools: http://web2014.discoveryeducation.com/web20tools.cfm
We all know the amazing abilities Discovery Education has had on education for years. The best part of Discovery Education is that it is constantly evolving right alongside the classroom to provide seamless integration. This particular site is all about web tools but in different categories:
Presentation tools
Video tools
Mobile tools
Community tools
Related links
Each of these categories only have three or four sites except Related links, which has more, but that's MORE than a mouthful for anyone who wants to use them individually or in a mash-up (using two or more tools to create a product).
So when you have some time (break is just around the corner!!) hop on over to these sites and stay awhile...you'll love what you see :)

JacketFlap tags: badges, websites, Add a tag
Badges have been around forever. No matter what culture (or how grisly they are), badges are worn as a sign of importance with a focus not so much on the group, as on the individual. The military is probably the foremost recognized badge creator/users in the world. First of all, they're really impressive! Secondly, if you're part of that organization, you instantly know what each of those badges mean and what you accomplished in order to wear them.
Today, badges have gone from physical to virtual. Examples of virtual badges are ones gamers have depending on their skills in a particular game. Then you have websites where you create something and are awarded badges based on amount of views, longevity, etc (think about what http://www.smore.com has done with badges. COOL!!) Check out people's blogs and what badges they proudly display on their sidelines.
What's so great about badges? Why should I care about badges when I'm just an educator? Here are a few reasons...they are the PERFECT vehicle to
1: display individual achievement
2: create a "want to, can do" attitude
3: they show how far a student has come from where they used to be.
Think back to the days of stars on a posterboard showing classroom achievement. Those who did well could swell with pride because they're always at the top of the charts. But what about those poor souls who weren't able to do what needed to be done in order to get a star? One word: humiliation. And that's one powerful word! When virtual badges are used, they are individually awarded, not grouped. They can be shown on one person's site, not a chart. Best of all, YOU get to create them so every student is capable of badges based on their personal strengths.
So where do I get them? Here are six sites I really like that are creative and useful. Distribution is up to you (email, a curated site of badges, a teacher's website for students to download, et al). It's worth a try to start making them :) So, in no particular order:

Last month, I talked to the school librarians of Hampshire at their annual conference in Winchester. One of the things they had especially asked me to talk about was why children should use books for research rather than the web. As more teachers expect children to do their homework from online sources, it is harder for libraries to make the benefits of books clear. It was good to be asked that, as it's something that's central to a lot of what I do. It's a question I'd not tried to answer before for other people - I just had a vague sense that there were very good reasons. Working out what they are was a really useful exercise.
There are some obvious reasons, such as the availability of books to be read even by students who don't have broadband at home. It's easy to think everyone can be online all the time, but in 2013, only 42% of UK households had broadband, and 17% had no internet at all.
But there are better reasons to make books available to young people in school libraries, and to encourage their use.
You need to know what you want to know
It's easy to find out something (a specific fact, such as the dates of the Civil War or how to make risotto), but quite hard to find out about something. Suppose a young person wanted to find out about dinosaurs. Search for 'dinosaur' on Google and you get 78.8 million hits. Hardly anyone will look beyond the first page.
The web is not written for young people
The first hit is wikipedia (of course), 17,000 words starting, "Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, 231.4 million years ago, and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for 135 million years, from the beginning of the Jurassic (about 201 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (66 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups at the close of the Mesozoic Era. Not child-friendly.
How about the Natural History Museum? It has good info but is not organised in a way that makes it easy for a young student to find what they want. Behind the first, child-friendly, page it goes to a database of dinosaurs that can be sorted in different ways. The information is presented in a dry and relatively unengaging way and if you don't know what you are looking for, it's hard to find what you need.
We could go on.
But let's try something different. Search Amazon (just to look, not to buy anything!) for children's books about dinosaurs and the first hit is National Geographic's First Book of Dinosaurs. Here's the contents page. Which would you rather look at if you were, say, 9? This or the NHM database?
The web has no gatekeepers or guidance
The information in a book is generally accurate and unbiased. If a book is about an issue of fact, the facts are on the whole correct. If it is about an issue of opinion, all sides of an argument are presented, equipping the reader to make up his or her mind in an informed way.
My book on evolution came out last year, so I looked to see what a young reader might find online about evolution.This was the fifth hit - looks quite accessble. But all is not as it seems:
"Dinosaurs could not have gone extinct millions of years ago because Earth isn't that old!"
"Dinosaurs, reptiles that are very different from birds, did not change into birds. God specially created birds on Day Five and dinosaurs on Day Six!"
A child growing up in a Creationist environment (family/school/USA) might encounter this view, but a child in a school library should be safe from minority views being peddled as undisputed fact. That's what homes are for.
Not all facts are true (see above)
Some websites look authoritative but have an agenda (not just the Creationist agenda). If you were researching sugar, you might think sugar.org looks like a good start. It is, of course, a sort of sugar-marketing board and would give a vulnerable young reader a completely distorted view of the value of sugar in the diet. And some 'facts' are just wrong, such as this one, widely cited: "According to Eric Schmidt of Google, every two days now the human race creates as much information as we did from the dawn of civilisation until 2003." It's true that Eric Schmidt said it, but that's all. Go back to the sources, and the real fact is that as much information was published, recorded or shared every two days in 2010 as in all of 2002. (And most of it was probably videos of kittens and pictures of people doing something stupid - not useful information.)
The web is a false form of laziness
It might look as though it's easier for a child to look online than find a book in the library. But it's laziness that backfires.
The web is full of accurate, fascinating information. It's also full of inaccurate, dull garbage. The web is not bad - but using it properly takes time and skill. A book written specifically for children could be based entirely on online research - but the author will have done the hard things:
- finding the right information
- checking the information
- selecting the relevant and interesting information
- presenting the information in an accessible, appropriate way for young readers.
I ended my talk with this chart. I could just have given you the chart and shut up, I suppose. This is why kids learn more from a well-chosen book than a Google search:

In this paper intrachannel nonlinearities in a return-to-zero differential-phase-shift-keyed (RZ-DPSK) 40-Gb/s 32/spl times/100-km system are compensated in the absence of signal power symmetry using a single LiNbO/sub 3/ conjugator and results in two decades of improvement in bit-error rate (BER). The reduction of transmission impairments enables the reach of the system to be extended from 5200 to 6400 km with a measured BER =5/spl times/10/sup -4/. This paper also presents a first-order perturbation analysis that describes the effects of optical-phase conjugation and dispersion mapping on the optical field of pulses.

Beyonce: Don't Give Jay Z Any More Chances
Beyonce, if it's true that Jay Z cheated on you — which your new album, 'Lemonade', seems to imply — then you are one forgiving woman. But Jay Z, be warned: your wife should not tolerate anything less than total faithfulness in the future.
Beyonce, you certainly sound like a woman scorned in multiple songs on your new masterpiece album, Lemonade. And if Jay Z was the man who caused you the intense heartbreak that you're singing about, then he needs to be counting his lucky stars that you didn't toss him to the curb for good and move on.

Primary Day: Why I'm Voting For Hillary Clinton
It's Primary Day in New York, one of the biggest primaries of the 2016 election, and I'm casting my vote for the most qualified and woman-friendly candidate on the ticket: Hillary Clinton. Here's why.
If you live in New York State, then today is the day to make your voice heard and I'm proudly standing up for Hillary Clinton for president. I know she will pull our country back together, not tear it apart. Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have spent their campaigns vilifying and scapegoating illegal Mexican immigrants, promising to spend billions to build a wall at the Mexican border and $200 billion to deport 11 million people — as if this was our country's very top priority.

North Carolina & Other States Need To Stop Passing Anti-Transgender Laws
What is wrong with legislators and the governors of North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri and more states who are actively passing discriminatory laws against transgender people? Bigotry needs to stop.
Transgender people deserve equal rights, just like ever other American citizen, and the new anti-LGBT law in North Carolina deprives them of their basic rights and must be repealed. Imagine singling out a group of people — transgenders — who have already coped with the emotional upheaval of recognizing that their gender identity is not the same as their biological sex — then subjecting them to prejudice.

You Need To Exercise Your Right To Vote This Election
Today, I went to see presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speak and I came away impressed and inspired. But, no matter which candidate you're leaning towards, this will be a critical election and you must exercise your right to vote.
Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, a Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, supporter or undecided, you need to make your voice heard this election season. Next Tuesday, April 19, is the primary date in New York, April 26th is Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland's big day and June 7th is when voters take to the polls in California and New Jersey. These are huge population states, so there's a good chance that many of you still have a chance to vote for who will represent you in the presidential race, whether as a Democrat or Republican.

Taylor Swift & Selena Gomez: Thanks For Burying The Silly Idea That Girls Are Always Rivals
I know, I know that Taylor Swift has long been on a mission with her 'girl squad' to prove that women can be friends — not just frenemies — but last night, she and Selena Gomez really demonstrated how true that is.
Last night, April 3, was a major milestone for Girl Power, with Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez showing us how it's done at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. It was a huge night for both talented young women, with Selena taking home the award for Triple Threat and Taylor landing four of the coveted prizes, including Best Tour and Album of the Year. But here's the best thing about all this: both stars took the opportunity onstage at the awards show, to make a statement about the importance of female friendship.

Birth Control: Why The Supreme Court Should Insist That All Women Get Cost Covered
Would you be angry if your employer refused to allow your health insurance to cover the cost of your birth control, because it was against the boss' religious beliefs? The Supreme Court is considering this issue right now.
When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, it guaranteed by law that all female employees would have the cost of their birth control covered by insurance. Fantastic, right? After all, insurance companies routinely reimburse men for the cost of the men's "sex" drug, Viagra, as well as for Rogaine, which helps them grow hair on their bald heads. If men can get reimbursed to buy a drug that gives them erections for sex, then surely a woman should be able to be reimbursed for the birth control pill or IUD (intrauterine device) so she can make family planning decisions.

Donald Trump: Insulting Heidi Cruz Is New Proof That He's Unfit To Be President
American women, rise up! You need to rally against misogynist Donald Trump becoming the GOP candidate for president. When he insulted Ted Cruz's wife Heidi, supposedly for not being as beautiful as his wife, Melania, that was the final, FINAL straw!
Donald Trump shockingly crossed one more moral line by insulting Heidi Cruz, Ted's wife, twice in recent days. Wait, let me correct that — first, Trump threatened Heidi, tweeting that he'd "spill the beans" on her, suggesting that he had some scandalous info about her. He went to war against Heidi in retaliation for an ad on Facebook showing Melania Trump posing nude in GQ magazine . It produced by an anti-Trump Super PAC — but it was not the doing of Ted Cruz.

Selena Gomez: Don't Go Back To Justin Bieber, Hold Out For A Calvin Harris
Selena Gomez — don't do it. Don't get lured back into Justin Bieber's web of love. You need to take a lesson from bestie Taylor Swift and wait for the right man who WILL commit!
Selena Gomez, don't go back to Justin Bieber. Resist, resist, resist that temptation. You need to wait for a new love –no matter how long it takes, until you can find a man like Calvin Harris. Selena, you've gone down this Justin Bieber road too many times to count. Just when you've almost broken free emotionally and are ready to move on, Justin does something that pulls you right back in to his heart again… but he never commits.

Bachelor Ben Higgins Chose The Right Woman: Lauren Bushnell

Bachelor Ben Higgins, you didn't go wrong when you ultimately cut JoJo Fletcher loose and got down on your knee to propose to Lauren Bushnell. In fact, the look of love couldn't have been clearer on last night's Bachelor finale and then on the After the Rose and Jimmy Kimmel Live show.

Donald Trump: Stop Inciting Students & Children To Spew Hate Against Minorities
Donald Trump, not only are your racist rants inspiring scary, bigoted behavior among students and children, you're too much of a coward to even respond to questions about the frightening phenomenon.
Donald Trump, you weren't man enough, despite your extra large penis, to answer NPR reporter Cokie Roberts' question about children repeating your deportation threats to other children. That's right, Donald. Respected journalist Cokie Roberts asked for your response to incidents in which white children have taunted minority children with your name and your promises to deport illegal immigrants. Here's what went down between you and Cokie on the morning of Weds., March 9.

Antropofagus were born in 1998 from an idea of the guitar player Francesco (Meatgrinder).
The band immediately started to write shredding and complex brutal death metal, getting lots of props from the underground labels. In 1999 the band shows a good musical maturity, and the first demo-CD reached a big success: two songs taken from it have been included on "Neuralcollapse", a brutal compilation with some underground freaky bands as Deeds Of Flesh, Sepsism, among others.
Antropofagus signed a deal with the Italian label Beyond Procutions – today known as Masterpiece Distribution - and on December 1999 the band published its first full length album, "No Waste Of Flesh", strongly inspired by US masters of brutality such as Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Deeds Of Flesh.
"No Waste Of Flesh" is now considered a "cult album" by the brutal freaks worldwide.
Some personal issues and disagreements between band's members affected the band's line up: in 2002 Argento and Void published the mini-CD "Alive Is Good... Dead Is Better" - trying to realize something more extreme, particularly in drumming and vocals; but there were some problems in the management of the band: the line-up was incomplete, Argento started his activity with Spite Extreme Wing, so the monicker of Antropofagus started laying in a sort of limbo for a lot of time.
In 2010 Antropofagus came back: Meatgrinder decided to contact Argento for spreading again some fresh brutality. Mike (bass) and Max (drums) soon joined the band and in October 2009, the band officially started to write new material. Unfortunately the former member Argento sadly decided to leave the band due to personal reasons: so, at the moment, the guitarist Meatgrinder is the only founder member of Antropofagus; after some researches, the new line-up is completed by the new singer Tya.
In 2010 the band's signed a record deal with the American Label Comatose Music.
In 2011 to fulfill the expectations of the new album the Split-CD "Torso Trauma" with Putridity, Mass Infaction, Prion, Infected Flesh comes out.
Finally Antropofagus found the perfect line-up with Jacopo (Nerve) and Davide "Brutal Dave" Billia, also drummer of Septycal Gorge and Putridity.
On April 17 2012 Antropofagus unleashed the new full length album "Architecture Of Lust", a horrible mental trip inspired by the works of Clive Barker and Benjamin Christensen.
It's an album of amazing technical brutal death metal and it got amazing reviews worldwide.
(Terrorizer, Metal Hammer, Legacy, Rock Hard Magazine and more..) Architecture of lust sells 1000 copies in just four months after its publication, the band plays also with Deicide, Marduk, Immolation, Belphegor, Sinister, Master, Pestilence, Onslaught, Shining and many more.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Veteran romance author Laurens adds to her early 19th-century Cynster family saga with this highly sensual tale featuring 23-year-old Amanda Cynster, cousin of the six former rogues who starred in Laurens's earlier entries (The Promise in a Kiss, etc.). After six years on the marriage mart, Amanda and her twin, Amelia, despairing of ever finding the right mate, have decided to broaden their search. While browsing for prospects in a notorious gaming hell, Amanda encounters Martin Fulbridge, fifth earl of Dexter. Banished from England by his father for a murder he didn't commit, Martin eschews London's elite circles and has been living abroad for the past 10 years. Nevertheless, he finds himself playing the part of Amanda's protector as she flits from one disreputable venue to another in a spurious quest for adventure. Inevitably, Amanda is "compromised," but she's unwilling to settle for anything less than a marriage based on love. The solving of the 10-year old murder mystery, though hasty, doesn't detract from the primary players and their witty repartee, but newcomers to the series may be put off by Amanda's anachronistic behavior (she has sex with Martin out of wedlock and frequently goes about without a chaperone). Still, readers will relish Laurens's spunky heroine and sizzling love scenes.

Amanda goes to a gaming hell to find the kind of man she wants for a husband and comes up with Martin. The rest of the book is just about that exciting. Not.
I must have bought the audio on sale without reading the paperback first. It is not on my list to reread.
Can't fault Simon Prebble's performance, though.
Amanda Cynster first made her appearance in Devil's Bride, if I remember correctly, together with her sister Amelia, and the rest of the Cynster clan, which makes it hard for you not to buy the other series cause you get a glimpse of all their characters in one book, and wonder how each of their stories would come to play. Anyway, the moment I began to read On a Wild Night, i thought that this was one book i would not be skipping.
I loved how Martin rescues her from her predicament at the gaming table and how he couldn't resist not being with her even though he knew that something was up. I especially felt so much for him when Amanda refused to marry him even after they'd made love just because the way he said did not live up to her expectation. It was so funny how he found himself wooing her into marriage despite his reluctance. Martin was really easy to like, although I find it quite hard to take him seriously with his name. No offense to guys named Martin, there's nothing wrong with it. But Martin as the name of the lead guy doesn't really suit. As for Amanda, she was not somebody I'd like so much, neither was she somebody to hate. I guess I took her just as she was and just let her story play out.
As I said I thought I would not be skipping pages, but I guess I thought so too soon. The moment everything was laid out and Martin was already trying to get Amanda to marry him, the book became quite longer than it should have been. Stephanie Laurens began to insert the past's suspense into it, which, frankly speaking, was a little late.Read more ›
Amanda has concluded there are suitable husbands who circulate along the fringes of the ton, and do not attend polite society's functions. So she sets out to explore places where young ladies are never to go, but interesting men would frequent. One night she sneaks out to a notorious gaming hell looking for just such a man, and quickly discovers she's in over her head. Unexpectedly, a man comes to her rescue. Martin Fulbridge, earl of Dexter, is tall, dark, and mysterious, and just the type of man she is searching for. Wrongly accused of murder and banished from England by his father, Martin has just recently returned from living abroad for the past ten years. Since his return, he has avoided the social activities of the respectable.
Martin has no intention of courting the appealing but forbidden Amanda, nevertheless, he finds himself acting as her protector. Amanda is determined to experience adventure by frequenting scandalous venues no young lady should be attending. Eventually Martin succumbs to his growing desire for Amanda, then insists they marry. She will settle for no less than love, thus his honor-bound pursuit of her begins. Ultimately, their future together can only be secured by solving the ten-year old murder mystery.
This was my second read by this author, as well as my second Cynster novel. I felt this particular book was okay, but not great. As for the main characters, I did like Martin who seemed quite sexy and mysterious, if not a little emotionally deficient. Amanda was okay, but just a little too flawless to be real.Read more ›
The two main characters weren't at all interesting and by the second half of the book I couldn't care less what happened to them. There really weren't any secondary characters to speak of. Basically the book went like this: Woman trawling for an exciting husband meets man she wants, spends all of her time trying to manipulate him into admitting he loves her (not sure why as she didn't love him for quite awhile), they have sex (ad nauseam), he tries to manipulate her into marrying him without admitting he loves her, they are both always plotting against each other to get what they want.
The "danger" in the book is him trying to overcome a "scandal" in his past & her acquiring a lukewarm warm stalker. All of that action is packed into about one tenth of the book. I knew who the killer was as soon as he was introduced into the book.
While I love Stephanie Laurens sex scenes, these were so repetitious and constant that they were boring!
It's time to put this series to rest. After this one I'm not wasting my time on Amelia's story.
