A year ago today, Ravenous<\/em>, the third book in our Triskaidekaphilia<\/em> series, was released.<\/p>\n Edited by Ariel Jade, the anthology features eight short stories that explore saucy, sexy, and sweet tales: of forbidden vampire\/vampire hunter love, vampire threesomes in space, kink as only a vampire could enjoy it\u2026 and so much more.<\/p>\n To give you an idea, here’s a round-up of posts and promos that were done for the book.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HR 30%” _builder_version=”3.0.73″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” saved_tabs=”all” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” global_module=”3593″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.12.2″ src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Ravenous.jpg” align=”center” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Eyes of a stranger post” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ background_color=”rgba(68,52,122,0.25)”]<\/p>\n …the tale started out as a sort of vampiric cat-and-mouse, but became something of a meditation on the beauty of impermanence. But when I wrote it, I didn\u2019t know the theme, just the characters and what they were going to do. I wrote the first scene, where the two meet at a performance art show in a darkened loft, because the visuals struck me so vividly. When the two encounter one another, the unnamed woman speaks enthusiastically about how the beauty of performance art lies in its ephemeral nature.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Review %22Bravely sexual%22″ _builder_version=”3.12.2″ src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/RavenousReview1.png” align=”center” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Jaap image” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/s2010-05-21-Forgive-Me.jpg” alt=”Artwork by Jaap Boekestein” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Light play excerpt” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ background_color=”rgba(68,52,122,0.25)”]<\/p>\n You check your skirt and blouse for the last time.

Outside, the cruel sun burns. In the house, everything is dark. Heavy curtains keep out Death. You have slept until late in the guest room, woken by the nag-ging alarm clock. Such an unholy hour!<\/span><\/p>\n It takes ten seconds. You cannot hear him. The door is soundproof, like the rest of The Room.<\/span><\/p>\n Psshh. The door opens.

One, you\u2019re looking for blood play, whether or not you\u2019d put it in those words. Two, you\u2019re looking for a certain kind of power dynamic. You\u2019re looking for danger. You\u2019re looking for a fantasy (in this case, especially, a sexual fantasy) in which the concept of consensual dominance can be explored.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.12.2″ background_color=”rgba(68,52,122,0.25)”]<\/p>\n Guest post by\u00a0Christine Belgarde gives you everything you need for an evening of fun!<\/span><\/p>\n Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.12.2″ src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/RavenousReview5.png” align=”center” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tiffany Michelle Brown” _builder_version=”3.12.2″ background_color=”rgba(68,52,122,0.25)”]<\/p>\n \u201cA Taste of Revolution\u201d did not start out as a politically charged vampire romance featuring a kick-ass, blue-haired heroine.

They can be the ultimate bad boys, the supreme seductresses, or the evil monsters. They fascinate and repel us at the same time.

What other enigma is desired as much as feared?<\/p>\n Cross the threshold into a world of insatiable heroes and voracious heroines.
