Blood of the Dark Moon novel has been offered a new contract!
I am VERY pleased to announce that my book, Blood of the Dark Moon, the first in the Dark Moon series, has been offered a contract with Freya's Bower.
Those of you who have been wondering when the book would be back with a publisher...well, now you know! Release date is forthcoming, but I will keep people posted.
Here's a quick blurb of my book:
More information about it and upcoming works can be found here: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/botdm.html
Thanks to all of you for your support since my previous publisher's closing. It meant (and means) a great deal to me. I am looking forward to providing my readers with more of my works to come.

Those of you who have been wondering when the book would be back with a publisher...well, now you know! Release date is forthcoming, but I will keep people posted.
Here's a quick blurb of my book:
Amanda, graduate student and devoted follower of the Greek god Apollo, is intrigued when she meets Jesse, a handsome young scholar who shares her love of both the classics and the occult. He quickly sparks her interest--and ignites a dark flame of passion between them. Together, they embark on a shadowy path that leads Amanda straight into Jesse's scintillating underworld of vampires, magick, and secret societies.
Little does Amanda know she is about to fulfill a legacy that began over thirty years ago and ended in tragedy. Can she learn the truth about who she really is in time to help those whom she has grown to care about, and truly find happiness in her new life with Jesse?
Blood of the Dark Moon combines the classic eroticism of vampires with a touch of modern sensual romance and occult intrigue.

I am VERY pleased to announce that my book, Blood of the Dark Moon, the first in the Dark Moon series, has been offered a contract with Freya's Bower. They are a pagan-themed friendly publisher--very apt for a pagan writer writing about pagans in a fictional novel. :)

Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, hon! Vila
Hace muchos, muchísmos años, en la ciudad de Bagdag vivía un joven llamado Simbad. Era muy pobre y, para ganarse la vida, se veía obligado a transportar pesados fardos, por lo que se le conocía como Simbad el Cargador.
- ¡Pobre de mí! -se lamentaba- ¡qué triste suerte la mía!
Quiso el destino que sus quejas fueran oídas por el dueño de una hermosa casa, el cual ordenó a un criado que hiciera entrar al joven.
A través de maravillosos patios llenos de flores, Simbad el Cargador fue conducido hasta una sala de grandes dimensiones.
En la sala estaba dispuesta una mesa llena de las más exóticas viandas y los más deliciosos vinos. En torno a ella había sentadas varias personas, entre las que destacaba un anciano, que habló de la siguiente manera:
-Me llamo Simbad el Marino. No creas que mi vida ha sido fácil. Para que lo comprendas, te voy a contar mis aventuras...
" Aunque mi padre me dejó al morir una fortuna considerable; fue tanto lo que derroché que, al fin, me vi pobre y miserable. Entonces vendí lo poco que me quedaba y me embarqué con unos mercaderes. Navegamos durante semanas, hasta llegar a una isla. Al bajar a tierra el suelo tembló de repente y salimos todos proyectados: en realidad, la isla era una enorme ballena. Como no pude subir hasta el barco, me dejé arrastrar por las corrientes agarrado a una tabla hasta llegar a una playa plagada de palmeras. Una vez en tierra firme, tomé el primer barco que zarpó de vuelta a Bagdag..."
L legado a este punto, Simbad el Marino interrumpió su relato. Le dio al muchacho 100 monedas de oro y le rogó que volviera al día siguiente.
Así lo hizo Simbad y el anciano prosiguió con sus andanzas...
" Volví a zarpar. Un día que habíamos desembarcado me quedé dormido y, cuando desperté, el barco se había marchado sin mí.
L legué hasta un profundo valle sembrado de diamantes. Llené un saco con todos los que pude coger, me até un trozo de carne a la espalda y aguardé hasta que un águila me eligió como alimento para llevar a su nido, sacándome así de aquel lugar."
Terminado el relato, Simbad el Marino volvió a darle al joven 100 monedas de oro, con el ruego de que volviera al día siguiente...
"Hubiera podido quedarme en Bagdag disfrutando de la fortuna conseguida, pero me aburría y volví a embarcarme. Todo fue bien hasta que nos sorprendió una gran tormenta y el barco naufragó.
Fuimos arrojados a una isla habitada por unos enanos terribles, que nos cogieron prisioneros. Los enanos nos condujeron hasta un gigante que tenía un solo ojo y que comía carne humana. Al llegar la noche, aprovechando la oscuridad, le clavamos una estaca ardiente en su único ojo y escapamos de aquel espantoso lugar.
De vuelta a Bagdag, el aburrimiento volvió a hacer presa en mí. Pero esto te lo contaré mañana..."
Y con estas palabras Simbad el Marino entregó al joven 100 piezas de oro.
"Inicié un nuevo viaje, pero por obra del destino mi barco volvió a naufragar. Esta vez fuimos a dar a una isla llena de antropófagos. Me ofrecieron a la hija del rey, con quien me casé, pero al poco tiempo ésta murió. Había una costumbre en el reino: que el marido debía ser enterrado con la esposa. Por suerte, en el último momento, logré escaparme y regresé a Bagdag cargado de joyas..."
Y así, día tras día, Simbad el Marino fue narrando las fantásticas aventuras de sus viajes, tras lo cual ofrecía siempre 100 monedas de oro a Simbad el Cargador. De este modo el muchacho supo de cómo el afán de aventuras de Simbad el Marino le había llevado muchas veces a enriquecerse, para luego perder de nuevo su fortuna.
El anciano Simbad le contó que, en el último de sus viajes, había sido vendido como esclavo a un traficante de marfil. Su misión consistía en cazar elefantes. Un día, huyendo de un elefante furioso, Simbad se subió a un árbol. El elefante agarró el tronco con su poderosa trompa y sacudió el árbol de tal modo que Simbad fue a caer sobre el lomo del animal. Éste le condujo entonces hasta un cementerio de elefantes; allí había marfil suficiente como para no tener que matar más elefantes.
S imbad así lo comprendió y, presentándose ante su amo, le explicó dónde podría encontrar gran número de colmillos. En agradecimiento, el mercader le concedió la libertad y le hizo muchos y valiosos regalos.
"Regresé a Bagdag y ya no he vuelto a embarcarme -continuó hablando el anciano-. Como verás, han sido muchos los avatares de mi vida. Y si ahora gozo de todos los placeres, también antes he conocido todos los padecimientos."
Cuando terminó de hablar, el anciano le pidió a Simbad el Cargador que aceptara quedarse a vivir con él. El joven Simbad aceptó encantado, y ya nunca más, tuvo que soportar el peso de ningún fardo...

El tiempo,
el tiempo,
el tiempo se murió
y lo van a enterrar
dentro de un gran reloj
con las manos cruzadas
a las diez y a las dos;
que sí,
que no,
que el tiempo se murió
y nadie sabe, nadie,
a qué hora sucedió:
que sí,
que no,
que el tiempo se murió.

Besarse, mujer,
al sol, es besarnos
e toda la vida.
Ascienden los labios
eléctricamente
vibrantes los rayos,
con todo el fulgor
de un sol entre cuatro.
Besarse a la luna,
mujer, es besarnos
en toda la muerte.
Descienden los labios
con toda la luna
pidiendo su ocaso,
gastada y helada
y en cuatro pedazos.
