Allure… An 80 Page Novella

I’m actually Considering Converting My First 15 Episodes of “Allure” into a Novella… It would be the First of a Series of Short Novellas I’m Hoping.

It would be the First Time I Converted any of My “Blog Series” into a Book, but I think it might be a good one to do it with.

I have talked about making my “Dark Rider” Series into a “Comic Book”, and it’s still something I’m looking to do.

My Nephew would potentially be the Artist, and My Friend Kirsty would help me with the Look, and Set Up of the Pages.

Right Now My Schedule Looks Like This;

“I Died Once” (Novella) – I Achieved My Editor Funding Goal for “I Died Once”, and have already Edited 1/3 of it with My Sister… I’m hoping she can help me finish up in the next week or two, then I’ll set up the PDF Documents, and Upload it to My Printing Company. My Kickstarter Project Officially Ends Tomorrow, and after that they hold on to the money for 2 Weeks, then Transfer it to My Amazon Account… I then need to Manually Transfer it from Amazon to My Bank Account, which takes 5 to 7 Business Days, or so they say. Once the Money’s in the Account, I will Order Book Cover Posters for 2 of My Contributors, 19 Copies of “I Died Once” from My Printer to be sent out to Contributors, and 7 of My “Winter, Lust, And Wonder” Poetry Books to also be sent out to Contributors. I’ll also be sending out 3 DVD’s of My Short Film “If Not Now…” to 3 of the Contributors… Phew, Lol I’ll Also be Ordering a Copy of the Novella to give the Local Bookstore, so they can decide if they’d be willing to carry it in their Store. Wola, Lol (Looking To Have It Self Published By Mid August)

“Chess With Agatha” (Fantasy Novel) – I’ve Re-Wrote/Pre-Edited about 40% of the First Draft of My Fantasy Novel, “Chess With Agatha“. Once I’m done Re-Writing/Pre-Editing it, I will forward that Copy to My Friend Beth, who will Review it, and “Line Edit” It. Once I receive the Reviews and Line Edits, I will Implement any changes that need to be, in regards to the Writing, and the Grammar. At that point I will once again be faced with the Daunting Task of Finding an Editor for it, Lol I really have no clue who I will get to Edit it, as it’s about 3 times as long as My Novella, and would be quite an Undertaking for My Sister… But I’ll deal with that when the time comes, Lol Also, I’ve been Researching some possible “Cover Artists” for this the First Book of the “Agatha Series”… It’s gone So So, I’ve found Good Artists, but they’re all Extremely Busy. (Looking To Have It Self Published By, Or Before, December 2012)

If I decide to Turn “Allure” Into a Novella, I’ll need to check with Beth and see if she’d be willing to “Review”, and “Line Edit” it after “Chess With Agatha”. My Friend Heloise has also been doing some Pre-Editing on “Allure” as I go, which has been really helpful. I’ll have to figure out more about “Allure” a bit later.

Nuff Said

Allure… Victoria

“La Fon Never Bothered Me Again… And That Was It… Or Was It”

END OF BOOK I – “VAMPIRE’S LUST”

BY MIRANDA BLOOM

AN ABANDONED BUILDING OUTSIDE A NORTHERN TOWN

La Fon stands before Arram…

“What do you want?” she questions.

“”What Do I Want? Well… There’s An Irony For You… As You Are The One That Has Been Following Me…” he responds, then walks behind her.

“I just want you to stop killing young girls…” Arram replies.

“Why… That’s Like Asking A Cat To Stop Hunting Mice… That’s Not Going To Happen… Whether You Like It Or Not… I Must Feed…” he explains as he gets closer to the back of her.

“Think Of It As A Food Chain Thing…” he continues.

She can feel his cold breath against her neck…

There is something extremely familiar… And outlandishly pleasurable about it.

“And Humans, are definitely “not” at the top of the food chain…” he finishes.

Arram closes her eyes… And tries to maintain her poise, as the feeling that’s come over her is rapturing.

“But why only young girls?” she asks, as she opens her eyes to see he’s moved in front of her now.

His skin is as fair as death itself… And yet, smooth like porcelain.

His hair a stark black… And his eyes… Dark… And also black.

“They Taste Better” he replies.

This does not go down well.

“You knew my mother?” she suddenly says to his surprise.

He takes a step back.

“Yes…” he replies.

“La Fon… Thomas… So the only one we’re missing here is Vincent…” she continues.

La Fon does not look happy to hear Vincent’s name.

“Be Glad That He Is Not Here My Sweet… As Your Handsome Roy Milon Would Surely Be Gutted, And His Blood Drained If He Was…” he says bitterly.

“What will you do now?” she asks.

“The Question Isn’t “What Will I Do Now”…” he says as he steps back towards her, and touches the side of her cheek.

Her eyes close once more.

The pleasure she feels from this is uncanny.

And… Unrelenting.

She gasps, barely able to speak.

“You were my Mother’s Lover?” she asks.

With this he pulls his hand back.

And she opens her eyes once more.

“Yes…” he replies.

Just then Thomas enters the room ,and joins La Fon at his side.

“This Is Your Last Warning Daisy Arram… Daughter To Victoria Arram… I Suggest… You Take It” with this he leaves, followed closely behind by Thomas.
