Book 2: Punishment Cover is Here!

Let the vampire Torment begin!  

Well, we have to wait until September before Book 2: Punishment in the Fate and Fangs: Tales from the Vampire Family sequel series is released, but that doesn't mean we can't sneak a peak at Lilith's Trials a little sooner!

Thanks again to our Cover Artist Suzannah Safi at Muse It Up Publishing, we have a sweet design perfectly capturing the abstract pain of our favorite Welshire enemy, Lilith. In this bizarre and seemingly anonymous tale, the beautiful but deadly vampire nemesis suffers plenty at the delight of her mysterious and demonic tormentor. 

Which of Professor James' collected Tales will you choose?  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?

Which would you choose, FATE or FANGS? 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?
