LUST Fate and Fangs Book 5 Available FRIDAY!!!

LUST....


Book 5 of my on going Fate and Fangs: Tales from the Vampire Family series with Muse It Up Publishing hits the virtual storefronts this Friday December 2- and it all keeps getting more and more twisted, disturbing, and vampire juicinessesy as the months continue!
Here's our official blurb on how saucy vampires will turn 1955 on its head and go deep into the bloody gutter:

The Sundowner offers steamy Welshire vampires Jessica, Pamela, and Slava for underground vampire sex and biting fetishes in this mid-century tale from Professor James. Victoria’s twin brother James, however, is content with his gig as piano player at the club owned by their brother Stephen. James’ own love Catrina is the alluring singer at The Sundowner, but can he keep his longtime vampire companion away from the tempting, exciting young clientele?



We're Live Friday! I know I said it before, but it bears repeating. Take a gander at our Muse preview page, and hey, while you're there, pick yourself up some of that Love, Punishment, Struggle, or Debauchery from our previous Fate and Fangs releases for the holidays!

Also, don't forget to scoop out our latest virtual tour stops with Margaret West and Roseanne Dowell! Both conversations should be live on Monday. While you wait for the Lust and chattery, check out our previous interviews with Margaret and Roseanne!

I'm curious, which kind of vampire would you be? The decadent reveling it up like Victoria from Fate and Fangs Book 4, Debauchery? Or would you be the sullen anti the bloodsucking family business like James for Lust?

Interviews with Fate and Fangs!

Well, my fiendish friends, here is the entire kit and kaboodle- well, minus the December dates to come but otherwise 'Vampire Blood' goblet runneth over- complete list of all our 2011 guest days, blog visits, and interviews in support of Fate and Fangs: Tales from the Vampire Family, continuing in December with Book 5 from Muse It Up Publishing, Lust: James at the Sundowner!

Are you ready for 7 months worth of promotion all at once?

"Hello Mother,



I have never conformed to normal societal standards; you know I have looked after my own cares, perhaps even selfishly some might say. However, amid this sad state in America’s affairs, it was in my best interests to marry. Yes, marry. I’m sure you wish to know his titles and ancestry for your histories, but none such matters to me. His name isn’t even important, for he wasn’t around long. His funeral is tomorrow in fact—a gentleman’s funeral for a wealthy gentleman from North Carolina.



I apologize if I’m late in my correspondence. You know I don’t like to write. I imagine you might have wished a traditional spectacle at this news, Mother, your one moment of pride and pretense that you have a normal daughter and a proper family. Ha!"



Previously we had a virtual summer visit with Cate Masters, and this Sunday November 6, we'll be having another Author's Spotlight with Cate to celebrate Debauchery. Catch up on our previous interview and stop by our new chit chat- as we will be having a special Debauchery: Victoria's Burning giveaway! You do want a chance at a free e copy, don't you? You know you do!

I was also very touched this week to have several new friends contact me about how informative and inspiring the New Jersey Author's Network Panel on Getting Publishing was this past Tuesday in Cherry Hill. One fellow author has also blogged her praise. If you are a writer or aspiring author in the New Jersey area, do please consider joining our little group. More events are also in the works for 2012 and I can't wait!! Good thing I have 3 more helpings of Fate and Fangs to survive yet, teehee.

After our visit with Cate, join me and my fellow Musers 9 p.m. est Wednesday November 16 at Two Lips Reviews for a Live Chat!!! If you've been to our chats before, you know what a fun wild bunch we can be, so pencil us in before Thanksgiving, as I believe this is the last one before the Holidays!

Book 3 of my Fate and Fangs: Tales from the Vampire Family series with Muse It Up Publishing happens tomorrow Friday October 7! You're Struggle awaits.....

https://museituppublishing.com/bookst...

Seeking solace and solitude from her unhappy home life as the unloved wife of Antonio, Elizabeth travels to colonial America in Professor James’ third account. On the outskirts of the white man’s civilization, Elizabeth meets Rain, a young Kiowa warrior on a vision quest. Will his lack of fear, search for answers, and gripping hothouse experience help her face those very vampire truths she sought to escape?





Join us tomorrow the 7th at the Muse It Up Blog for a plethora of Scary Octoberfest treats! And stayed tuned as well for my wacky interview with Bonilla. The Trends in Horror Chat Workshop at the 2011 Muse Online Writers Conference was very insightful and informative, a whirlwind of debate, discussion, hot and not, good and bad. Yet we also had a huge amount of fun and hysteria- and our wacky interview is one of the consequences!

http://museituppublishing.blogspot.com/






Also, look for us next week at Dawn's Reading Nook, in addition to some fun at the Love and Romance Cafe Loop's Spooktacular fest. We'll also be chatting live again 10 pm Thursday October 13 at Ghoul Tool. If the chat room or format survives, we might be setting up regular chat events at GT!
