Join me on the Voirey Linger summer trail! My short story, "Red Paint, Crimson Blood" is on the Trail. Here's a link to all the other stories on the trail: Short Story Summer Reading Trail
All the stories are FREE reads. Red Paint, Crimson Blood, is listed under the adult reading category because I have it rated R. It's a horror story about the real Vlad Tepes who inspired the creature, Dracula.

The story is set in Bucharest, in 1476, just before Dracula dies. He has commissioned a painter to come and paint his portait. What the painter discovers about the true Dracula is enough to horrify him. If you're in for a good horror story, you'll enjoy "Red Paint, Crimson Blood." The story was a Honorable Mention Winner in the 76th Annual Writer's Digest Competition.
Also on the Trailhead are Liana Laverentz, Celia Yeary, and MaryAnn Miller plus a lot of other authors.
Here's the information on the Trail: The free reads include short stories, serial installments, deleted scenes and book excerpts from published and unpublished authors. The Summer Reading Trail will run from May 1 through the end of July. New links will be updated on the first of every month, so you can enjoy a summer of reading. You are encouraged to explore authors’ websites and blogs, to take a moment to leave them a comment and to bookmark sites and visit often.
I hope you get a chance to check out the free reads offered. It looks to be good fun.

I just read your short story "Red Paint, Crimson Blood." I loved it! Have you read Dracula: the Undead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt? It's a sequel by Bram Stoker's great-great something another. I haven't read it yet myself, although I own the book. I always love stories about Dracula, historic or otherwise. He's a fascinating character.
ReplyDeleteCherie, Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I had a good time writing it. I love Dracula, but I'm very picky about writing my vamp stories. I want to tie them into the Real Vlad Tepes.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't read that novel, but I heard about it. It's in my TBR pile and I can't wait to tackle it!
I agree, Dracula is just a fascinating character.
