LEGENDARY Release!<\/strong><\/p>\n by Laura Harvey<\/p>\n At last! I always love Friday the 13th, but I\u2019ve been anticipating this one with barely suppressed glee. This Friday, LEGENDARY gets released into the wild. And I can hardly wait. Seriously. I have my party hat on and confetti at hand.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve loved this concept from the beginning. I\u2019m the kind of person that collects classic horror flicks to binge watch around Halloween and enjoys creepy stories told around campfires. I\u2019m ridiculously easy to scare, but that doesn\u2019t stop me. Who needs to sleep easy, anyway?<\/p>\n So, when Pen and Kink Publishing asked if I wanted to edit a romance anthology based on urban legends, I jumped. Darned skippy, I did!\u00a0 Bring on Bloody Mary! The Woman in White! The Hook Man (or woman, as it turns out)!<\/p>\n I loved the stories that hit my inbox. I legitimately snorted my tea reading Sara Dobie Bauer\u2019s \u201cNot Again.\u201d Campy humor really is my bag, baby. I wound up reading it aloud on a road trip, complete with sound effects. I don\u2019t often comment \u201ccan we get some more gore here? Steaming intestines on the roof, maybe?\u201d during revisions, but I made an exception. And I still haven\u2019t forgiven her for\u2026 well. Who am I to spoil it?<\/p>\n I teared up over Michael Leonberger\u2019s \u201cThe Hook.\u201d I loved the healing power of love at work in this story. Love doesn\u2019t dull the painful cracks and broken pieces of our lives, but it can give us the light and the strength to hold ourselves together.<\/p>\n The characters in this anthology stole my heart. If y\u2019all can get through this anthology without laughing out loud or tearing up at least once, you\u2019re not human.<\/p>\n Lastly, I\u2019m also exceptionally happy to have a chance to work with more diverse romances. As an editor, the vast majority of submissions I receive involve white, cis-gendered, heterosexual romances. As it turns out, four of the five stories in this anthology do not fall into at least one of these categories. Such a ratio was unintentional, but pleases me just the same.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s to hoping you enjoy these five fun tales as much as I have. And if you want to read them by flashlight late at night, I don\u2019t blame you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Legendary Cover” global_module=”4152″ saved_tabs=”all” src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Legendary200x300.jpg” alt=”Legendary” title_text=”Legendary” show_in_lightbox=”off” url=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/triskaidekaphilia\/legendary\/” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Legendary Buy Links” global_module=”4153″ saved_tabs=”all” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Available\u00a0January 13th<\/strong><\/p>\n Amazon (US<\/a>) (CA<\/a>) (UK<\/a>)<\/p>\n Available soon on Kindle Unlimited<\/p>\n
