I am pleased to announce that Blood and Mint Chocolates, a standalone short story within the Dark Moon series, has just been offered a contract with Freya’s Bower.

The story is set after Blood of the Dark Moon and just before its upcoming sequel, Shadows of the Dark Moon.

Here’s a quick blurb:

Merideth, a vampire and librarian, spends most of her nights researching and book collecting for Clan Gladius within the Order of the Dragon and the Rose. Much to her surprise, the head of Clan Gladius unexpectedly presents her with a luxurious gift: a trip to stay at Hotel Paradisio at Crystal Island!</p>


The heat is on at the island resort under moonlit skies and palm trees. The tropical heat quickly transforms into a scorching hot time that will be seared into her memory forever when she runs into her long time crush, Kalia. Merideth is presented with a gift from a goddess which allows her to experience in reality what she only could before in dreams. But can their passion survive the intrigue and potential dangers that await them, or will it only last as long as her vacation?

A hot lesbian romance and occult intrigue sets the stage for the next book. The world of the Order of the Dragon and the Rose is about to change, and this story is a small sliver of what’s to come.

I will be doing a booksigning at Arisia 2009!

I chose a different background image and color layout for my website last night, and I really think that it goes well with the new cover art for Blood of the Dark Moon!

But don’t take my word for it–see for yourself:

Check it out: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/events.html

November’s will be the one to be under high amounts of change no doubt, but do tune in to October! I have one booksigning taking place on Oct 26 in Cambridge, MA. Stop on by and get the last of the out of print copies of Blood of the Dark Moon while supplies last and before its re-release! You never know…could be worth lots of money someday.

Also, Oct 1 is busy, busy, busy for me. I’ll be not on one or two but THREE loop chats throughout the day! Do stop on by any of them and find out the latest in the Dark Moon series.

I also want to give a heads-up: just about finishing editing Blood and Mint Chocolates, and Shadows of the Dark Moon is also underway. Blood and Mint Chocolates takes place in between the two books and has a few important plot details amidst lots of really sexy vampire girl action! Shadows of the Dark Moon is where the battle between the Order of the Dragon and the Rose and the Order of the Golden Cross really heats up…along with Amanda and Jesse’s relationship.

In the meantime, Blood of the Dark Moon is now in the editing stage with my editor. Once that finishes up, we’ll have some idea of its release date.

So, stay tuned, watch this space, you get the idea.

Who here would like to see a short story of the REAL story of how James became Janius?

In short, who here would like to read Vlad/Janius pr0n?

Anyone?

People are entered to win when they buy a copy of my book on CD. I usually offer 2-3 prizes per booksigning, and it helps to get some good cross-promo going.

Last booksigning I had a gorgeous framed photograph and a beautifully made beaded choker. At Mass Morgue 2008, I’d be looking for anyone local or willing to mail me an item that they wish to have entered as a prize. I also request flyers, business cards, and anything pertinent that I can put on display with your donated prize so others can see where it came from.

If you are at all interested, email me at adrianne(at)adriannebrennan(dot)com or reply to this post with your contact info.

I am VERY pleased to announce that Blood of the Dark Moon has been offered a contract with Freya’s Bower.

It is thrilling to know that my book has found a good home, and that I will have news for my readers on its future release date–plus that of its sequel and novella–sometime within the reasonably near future.

Thank you all of your support after my former publisher closed. It really meant (and means) a lot to me.
