A Vampire Family Valentine!!!

Good evening, Ladies and Gentleman!

James Welshire here, sending you Valentine greetings from the dark side of 1955 thanks to Fate and Fangs: Tales from the Vampire Family Book 5, Lust....

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?

http://museituppublishing.com/bookstore2/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=271&category_id=138&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1

So what moody moonlight tunes do we have in store for your night of wicked love?  Oh, a little of this, a little of that....

Have you felt the pangs of immortality yet?  No? Here's an excerpt.....

"Unfortunately, after five centuries or so, the comfortable vampire enchantment can, in fact, wane. Sometimes I think Catrina is longing for something more-just like her fooled admirers.  I enjoy my music.  I have to occupy myself with some post-war Goodman ‘Moonglow’ and Miller ‘Serenade in Blue’ in order to control my Welshire urges.  These dark gifts cannot and shall not rule me.  I will not succumb to animal anarchy the way Stephen does.  For myself, I am content in my respectable role here until the next war comes calling. Can I admit to myself that I know Catrina is not content?  How could she be?  My voluptuous love has the predatory power of the wolf and all her fun feline charm.  I enjoy watching her exude the dark magic allure as I play the music for her.  Her exotic and spooky look brings the silver screen to life-curly black hair and white skin stamped with a perfectly deadly pout of red lips.  I love her, I always have.  I could not bring the vampiric gifts to anyone I did not love.  I expected to spend the rest of my unnatural life with her. Although I don’t doubt Catrina loves me and will always have a space for me in her black heart still; deep down I know she intends to leave me for new vampire lusts."

I know, I know, I'm sure you need more then just a few quick tunes to outlast your love celebrations!  Here's a few more from my songbook in Lust. 

Unfortunately I must depart before the dawn comes, but for you chocolate and champagne delighting lovebirds, here's a few more tunes to carry you to sunrise...

Buy Resurrection, Get Love and Punishment FREE!!!

 Well, well!  As the final hour for Fate and Fangs: Tales from the Vampire Family draws near- this Friday in Fact!!!- Muse It Up Publishing is offering an extra special treat to Resurrection: Stephanie After the Lilithan shoppers. 

When you pick up your copy of Resurrection this weekend between February 3 and 5, you will receive Fate and Fangs Book One Love: Ann and the Viking AND Book Two Punishment: Lilith's Trials for FREE!!!!

Yep.  You heard me.  1 Buck gets you not one, not two, but Three Tales from the Vampire Family!

You can check out our pre order page or shop for the first 6 books in the Fate and Fangs series here:

In Professor James’ final tale, former Lilithan vampire and newly divorced scientist Stephanie just can’t get over how much she misses being a vampire. After a harrowing car accident during a frightful storm, Stephanie 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 Mestiphles’ dark opportunities?
