Experience the magic of the Blood of the Dark Moon on Dec 2nd....

Blood of the Dark Moon will have its re-release day on December 2nd!

Originally published through Aphrodite's Apples Press, it went out of print when the publisher closed. Blood of the Dark Moon made the top five for Best Horror in the Preeditor and Editor's Polls of 2007, and was #1 bestseller at Aphrodite's Apples until its closing. It has been featured in Pretty/Scary, Geek Girls Online, and Realms of Fantasy Magazine.

Freya's Bower is its new publisher, and it will be once again available in December! Mark your calendars and get some vampire erotic romance with a dash of occult intrigue in time for the holidays! Bookmark http://www.adriannebrennan.com/botdm.html and stay tuned!

Blurb:
Amanda, graduate student and devoted follower of the Greek god Apollo, is intrigued when she meets Jesse, a handsome young scholar who shares her love of both the classics and the occult. He quickly sparks her interest--and ignites a dark flame of passion between them. Together, they embark on a shadowy path that leads Amanda straight into Jesse's scintillating underworld of vampires, magick, and secret societies.

Little does Amanda know she is about to fulfill a legacy that began over thirty years ago and ended in tragedy. Can she learn the truth about her identity in time to help those whom she has grown to care about, and find happiness in her new life with Jesse?

Blood of the Dark Moon combines the classic eroticism of vampires with a touch of modern sensual romance and occult intrigue.

Mint chocolates will be served...

...on November 11, 2008!

Freya's Bower will be releasing on this day my novella within the Dark Moon series, Blood and Mint Chocolates! You can learn more about this book here: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/bamc.html

Blurb and cover below:

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 her deepest fantasies, which existed before in dreams alone. But can their passion survive the intrigue and potential dangers that await them, or will it only last as long as her vacation?



A steaming lesbian romance and occult intrigue sets the stage for the future of the Dark Moon series. The world of the Order of the Dragon and the Rose is about to change, and Blood and Mint Chocolates is a small taste of what's to come.

Yay, another manuscript submitted! Plus some updates. :)

Just sent off “Blood and Mint Chocolates” to my editor. That will begin its first round of edits while the second round for Blood and the Dark Moon is almost done.

We’re already talking about cover art.

Once that’s set, I’ll be focusing my time on more short stories for the series plus finishing up Shadows of the Dark Moon.

In the meantime if you want to read excerpts, go here: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/excerpts.html I’ll be updating all of the Blood of the Dark Moon ones shortly now that they’ve been edited.

Blood and Mint Chocolates is now contracted with Freya's Bower!

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!



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.
