Following the Cookie Crumbs

I have finally finished my planning for Betwixt and am now entering my favorite part of this journey – writing the first draft!

Candy Korman Announces New Release

Author Candy Korman is pleased to announce the release of her new vampire un-romance, Bram Stoker’s Summer Sublet.

Instead of spending the month of July on her honeymoon in Italy, Willie is pet/apartment sitting on Tompkins Square in New York. As she tries to reboot her life, she watches too many woman-in-jeopardy movies on TV and pays entirely too much attention to the pontificating parrot in her care. As she regains her equilibrium, she comes to the radical conclusion that the attractive man next door is a vampire.

Written in diary entries, voice mail, email, etc., this is a comic 21st Century Dracula. It’s the second in the Candy’s Monsters ebook series of novellas inspired by horror classics.

Bram Stoker’s Summer Sublet  was released on July 10, 2012 by Lymehouse Productions. It is available on Amazon.com and Amazon UK as an e-book.
