Want a good Read?  artisfactstore.com/?page_id=31 Want something different than the average, everyday boring vamp stories that Hollywierd keeps shoving down our throats?

Blood Junky is unique and original!  Tho, don't take my word for it.

"It kept me on the edge of my seat!"
-Paula Atkins – Denver, CO.

"A masterful thriller!  I didn't know what was going to happen next."
-David Bailey – Alexandria, VA.

"I was reading so diligently, I bit my own tongue!"
-Ryan Parson – Badmoon Productions.

"Captivating!  Kept me up until 3am.  I just couldn't set it down."
-Maria Barth – Long Beach, MD.

"I love Z!  She's so spunky and fun.  I love the contrast between her and Lin, its amazing how they've stayed together for so long - they're like the vampiric odd couple!"
-Tina Losh, Baltimore, MD

"This is not your typical Vampire novel, and Stavros is not your typical writer.  This story has layers."
-Paula S. - Prince Frederick, MD

"The story played in my head like a movie."
-Sandra Norris - LaPorte, PA

"Stavros brings fresh life and punk vibrancy to the Vampire genre with this tale of two strong women caught in the longstanding tradition of a mysterious and powerful dynasty. Blood Junky mixes the world of the cultured and restrained with the hedonistic,misguided, and sometimes violent lost souls coming to terms with their dark powers.  Getting to know the striking Dominique De'Paul and the beautiful Linnet Pevensey astheir lives entwine down through the centuries is pure pleasure."
-Carol A. Russell, Writer and Editor

"Loved it! What an original piece of work! So nice to see NEW ideas out there in the literary world. For anyone wanting a good ride to keep you guessing and reading, then this is the book for you. Stavros has a unique voice and it's not your grandma's type of Dracula story, this is fresh and totally not like anything you've ever read before.  The characters kind of grow on you and become like an old friend, you start rooting for them and hoping that all will turn out right for them."

Just upload two pix from my shoot w/ Randomly Spaztik.  It was awesome!  Got some great stuff for advertising my new book, Blood Junky, in Rue Morgue Magazine & their website and Gorezone Magazine and their website.  In fact, the Gorezone ad hit the street today!!!

Went to Horrorfind 12 over the past weekend.  Had a blast and introduced to the world...BLOOD JUNKY.  The book is out there, available, and people were loving it!

You can checkout some pics from the Con at my FB page: www.facebook.com/home.php

Haven't posted them to my blog-site, yet.  But you can go there and enjoy a whole mess of great things, as well as, buy your very own copy of Blood Junky.  It's the most original vampire novel you'll run smack-dab into!  Definitely not the same ole same thing.  And it is the beginning of an epic series that I spent 15 years researching and developing so that I could make that bold-ass claim!  Original!  Unique!  Time for the genre to get kicked in the head!  Check it out BMRH... www.bitemereallyhard.com

Holy Kool-Whip on a cracker Batman!  Blood Junky's being shipped and I've got to find a place to put over 1,800 pounds of boxes!

Yikes!

Blood Junky is at the printers.  I'm waiting for the press sheets - any day now; to Ok or decline - And I've started to book Horror Cons!!!  Boy, you'd think I'd be a glorious pig in shit right 'bout now, but I'm not.  I'm stressin'.  First time I've ever stressed at a launch...of well...anything. Guess this is just close and personal...or I'm gettin' old, or sumtin'.

Woke up at 3am last night and research table-top screen printing equipment for the one-color logo designs I've worked up to promote the book.  Think I'm going w/ a simple Workhorse and some materials from DIY.

I love that there are more than enough Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy Conventions out there that if I pitched a rock into the stratosphere it'd land on one somewhere in the world.  Just wish I could afford - at this juncture - to book all the ones I want, instead of doin' the wait-n-see how much $ I make at the first two and see if any tables are left.

Walkin' a very tight rope here people.  Stretchin' the plastic awfully far.  Its do it or art dies time now.  Can I get a witness!

The book is edited and is currently being proofed by a few wonderful people! I had to make an all black & white version of the book for the 6x9 paperback and that spawned a new round of art for the chapter titles.  I am finally happy with 'em and will be loading them up over the next day or so; along with the new, work-in-progress, book covers and logos.

Lisa and I have locked in our paper stock and first run quantity and the In-Design work begins this week as my proof notes arrive. So...tick tock...The book is counting down to its August release.  

Very excited.  Can't wait for it all to be physical and out there pimpin' it at Horror Cons.  Hope everyone had a fantastic fourth of July celebration.  Lisa and I visited my cousin, drank, and sat on a jetty watching the fireworks over the Chesapeake Bay.
