Lipstick and Fangs
My first vampire novel, "Lipstick and Fangs," has just been released by Renaissance eBooks. I had fun writing this, when I was finally able to concentrate enough to finish it. It's my response to the traditional view of vampires as high-powered males with tons of money. I think it's time that feminism made a few more inroads in the world of the undead. I am sure that Carmilla would approve.

Lipstick and Fangs

When I sent it off to the publisher I told her to use a different pen name than the one I usually write under, since it's a soft-core book and not what I normally write. So, what the hell -- Irena Candy goes commercial!

	No wonder I enjoy reading your journal, you're a writer =D The description is intriguing, and for $5 I'm sure I can splurge for the read (even being a poor college kid ^_-). How long is the novel? I couldn't find a page count on the web site and was just curious. Congratulations to you and Irena Candy! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, from both of us! laughter "Lipstick and Fangs" is a little over 46,000 words. That comes to 184 pages in standard manuscript count (250 words to the page, double spaced). (Reply to this) (Parent)
