Punishment: Lilith's Trials $.99!

http://museituppublishing.com/booksto...

In Professor James’ second tale, we share in the pain, suffering, and torment of the Welshire Vampire Family’s beautiful but deadly rival Lilith. Her mysterious, vile nature and fantastical abuses are put on trial as the demonic advocate Mestiphles plays judge, jury, and executioner from his wicked Void of darkness and pain. Is it wrong to delight in the just, even deserving torture Lilith receives? Will she learn and apply the cruel lesson Mestiphles teaches?





If you can't catch up with your FATE and FANGS tonight, no fear! We have plenty more contest planned throughout the series' releases. And you can always can us anytime day or night- but mostly at night- at any of our usual haunts.

Before all the crazy floods and tropical torment, I also took part in the New Jersey Authors Network's panel on Getting Published at the Cinnaminson Library. It was awesome! There was just the right number of authors on the panel and guests looking for tricks of the trade for it to be casual and fun! Another event is scheduled in Cinnaminson September 17, but my next live NJAN event will be the double bill Saturday October 15 at the Moorestown and Voorhees Libraries.

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?

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!

http://museituppublishing.com/booksto...



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?

You know you are one type of person or the other, superstitious or not. So who else is keeping the spooky end up today, all day, with Fate and Fangs?


Heather Haven that's who!!!
