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:a

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!


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.

For more information, go here: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/bamc.html

And now... a hot excerpt from the story:

We received a couple of lovely gift arts for the Games opening, and we share one with you now to herald the one week countdown to the Snarry Art Games!

This one was sent in by Veridian Dair, her take on 'What Harry and Snape really feel about the Snarry Games' scenario, which always makes the Mod Squad snicker.

(Dial Up users beware of large image under cut!)

For those of you who can read French, Piwi Chan is starting to post her translation of my story Reluctant Survivor! You can read her very faithful translation here.

(My own English translation is here, and the Portuguese original is here.)

Thank you, Piwi, and yay for the positive reviews!

Need an answer to a burning question? Want to know the answer to the greatest mysteries in life? Ever wonder how to get your dog's breath to quit smelling like his butt?

Well, I have the answers to these questions and more, and you don't even have to buy my book. Not that I have one. Seems I can never quite gather my thoughts enough to put them to paper. That's strange, don't you think?

I know it keeps me up at night.

Any who, gotta question? Come on over to ask_rose and let's see if we can solve it. I may not know the exact details of what you're looking for, but we can have great time looking for them!

What do you say?
