It would depend on the contract, some contracts buy the rights to a book, which means (again depending on the wording) that they own it, they can make changes to it and your book may turn out very different from what you intended. It also means they can sell it. Authors need expert legal advice. Research is an important part of writing, and researching publishing contracts and all that go with them is even more so. http://www.fonerbooks.com/contract.htm http://www.ian-irvine.com/on-writing/the-truth-about-publishing/

The name Melanie was derived from a Greek word meaning "black, dark." It was a common name in France during the Middle Ages, and there was a saint by the name in the 5th century that gave away all of her money to charity.

Saliva is just as good as blood and can be found many places people do not even think about such as, cigarette butts, drinking glasses, chewing gum, postage stamps, sealed envelopes etc.

Many schools offer courses, and there are on line courses too, some of them free. Some author sites offer free critiques of work. You will have to search for one that is within your genre. My suggestion if you not wish to try the options above, is to decide on two characters to start with. Describe each and how they relate to each other, what do they say to each other. The very first thing you have to do with your idea. Is WRITE.
