Now that our website is safe and fully functioning again after some hacking litter critters, allow me to present

FATE and FANGS '11


Your FATE Decides! Their FANGS Deliver!

All Donations Welcome: A B AB O + -


Join the campaign with Welshire Occult expert PROFESSOR A. JAMES by reading his Tales from the Vampire Family and vote for your favorite toothy vampire candidate! Some bloodsuckers just get all the luck… but which one deserves your red hot, precious attention? Meet your candidates Tonight, After Dark, At Midnight under the Moonlight!



Shall you pleasure ANN, the scorned mistress aided by her lover ERIC or the beautiful, but evil and deadly Welshire enemy LILITH? But what of ELIZABETH, the unloved wife supported by RAIN, a fearless Kiowa warrior or her debutant daughter VICTORIA, the favorite of her father ANTONIO?



Ladies, moody and melodramatic rival brothers JAMES and GASTON are vying for your attention! Can sister SAMANTHA keep them away from each other’s throats? Of course, we can’t forget the dark horse STEPHANIE- the alluring doctor seems to straddle the line between Welshire and Lilithan covens-er parties. And what of the mysterious lobbyist MESTIPHLES who seemingly supports political veins on both sides?



Where can you dish on the fierce and bloody politics? Stop by Muse It Up Publishing and sink your teeth into the seven testaments as told by Professor A. James: Love, Punishment, Struggle, Debauchery, Lust, Humanity, Resurrection. Select your candidate and take him or her to the grave with you- or at the very least stay up all night with these hard at work night owls as they pine away at their virtual vampy headquarters,

In this haunting and deadly world, two things will always bind a vampire:

FATE and FANGS!


Canadian epublisher Muse it Up Publishing will offer FATE and FANGS, Tales from the Vampire Family as told by Professor A. James beginning in August 2011. The 7 book series is projected to run through February 2012, and there's plenty to sink your teeth into!



1. Love: Ann and the Viking - In this medieval tale, scorned vampire mistress Ann leaves vampire family patriarch Antonio behind, travels across Britain, and encounters a wayward Viking named Eric. Will Ann accept her true vampiric nature and turn her Nordic lover into a vampire?



2. Punishment: Lilith's Trials - In this bizarre and seemingly anonymous tale, beautiful vampire nemesis Lilith suffers plenty at the delight of her mysterious and demonic tormentor.



3. Struggle: Elizabeth in America - Seeking solace and solitude from her unhappy home life as the unloved wife of Antonio, Elizabeth travels to colonial America. On the outskirts of civilization, she meets Rain, a young Kiowa warrior on a vision quest. Will his lack of fear and gripping hothouse experience help Elizabeth’s face the vampire truths she sought to escape?



4. Debauchery: Victoria's Burning - Victoria uses the fallout from the American Civil War to her advantage-or so the beautiful but deadly blockade-runner hopes. After all her using, abusing, and feedings, Victoria’s slaves finally take matters into their own hands, forcing Antonio’s daughter to face her own mortality.



5. Lust: James at the Sundowner - The Sundowner offers steamy Welshire vampires Jessica, Pamela, and Slava for underground vampire sex and biting fetishes, but Victoria’s twin brother James 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 there, but can he keep his longtime vampire companion away from the tempting, exciting young clientele?



6. Humanity: A Letter from Gaston - Gaston is trying to move on with his life now that the Vampire Family has been is human again. Unfortunately, his sister Victoria cannot cope with the change and succumbs to drugs, depression, and sex binges with her former fledgling Caine. When Gaston looses his job over Victoria’s suicide attempt, their pregnant sister Samantha comes to London to help-making a journey that could be disastrous to her unborn children.


7. Resurrection: Stephanie after the Lilithan - Former Lilithan vampire and newly divorced scientist Stephanie can’t get over how much she misses being a vampire. After a harrowing car accident, she meets Mestiphles, the giver and taker of vampire power on both sides of the coven wars. His charm and seductive powers sweeten the demonic offer he extends, but will Stephanie accept?

In Professor Welshire’s fourth Fate and Fangs chronicle, Victoria uses the fallout from the American Civil War to her advantage-or so the beautiful but deadly blockade-runner hopes. After all her using, abusing, and feedings, Victoria’s slaves finally take matters into their own hands, forcing Antonio’s daughter to face her own mortality......



"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!

http://catemasters.blogspot.com/2010/...




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.

http://jennifermeaton.com/2011/11/02/...

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!
