4 Stars!! This
story is going to electrify you. ... A truly unique book, with
plenty of twists and turns I was held captive by words that ensnared
me. ...The plot was truly brilliant, the characters refreshing and
very easy to relate to. ...I was truly astonished by this shockingly
sexy, thrilling, and mysterious book. Kudos! --Rachel
Rivers, eCataromance.com
Vampyre Falls:
Animal Heat
4 1/2 Lips!! Vampyre
Falls: Animal Heat is a highly erotic story that had me fanning
myself throughout the entire book. Rainna is a strong heroine who
learns a few things about herself and does what she has to do for the
man she loves... I hope Adrianna Dane turns this story into a series...

A
Slice From Adrianna's Life
Addicted...
For a number of years now
I've stayed away from series television and congratulated myself for
doing so. Last month I caved in. A sad fact. I swore off series back
when the networks discontinued Beauty & the Beast, and then Dr.
Quinn, Medicine Woman, for what I considered really stupid reasons
and I gave up on series. And I've been sooo good. Not even Moonlight
or Buffy or Angel could lure me back to series television although
I'd catch the odd episode now and again.
Then I spotted Torchwood
on BBC. Bad news. I watched several episodes from the first season
and then what happened? I made a point of watching the season opener
last weekend. Bad mistake because I really find myself liking th
show. My fast is broken. I know I am so in trouble now. But I
certainly expect that now I've given in, the network will probably
cancel it. There's a good and bad to that, I guess. I can return to
my "no series television" mode. But then I'll be really
ticked off to lose another decent show and boycott for another ten or
fifteen years.
Guess where I'll be this
Saturday night? There's just no winning.

The
Wolf Festival...
by
Adrianna Dane
Before the celebration of
Valentine's Day as we know it today, there was a pagan celebration
that ran from February 13th through February 15th, taking its roots
from the very early foundations of Rome, and known as the Feast of
Lupercalia, a festival of the wolf. This celebration apparently took
place to help destroy any clinging evil spirits, cleansing and
purifying the city, and providing health and feritility to its citizens.
It is believed to be a
festival that honors the she-wolf who nurtured the founders of Rome,
the infant orphans, Romulus and Remus. Mythology holds that the twins
are the sons of the god, Mars, and a woman sentenced to remain
chaste, Rhea Silvia.
The festivities were
administrated by the Luperic, or brothers of the wolf. Possibly in
honor of the twin natures of these leaders, the celebrations are
overseen by two schools of priests, apparently a quite atypical
practice for the times. These two divisions were know as: the Luperci
Quintilii (with the foundation from Romulus) and the Luperci Fabii
(representing Remus).
It is speculated that
this pagan celebration is related to the worship of Lycaean Pan, but
others indicate that it is not a festival related to one particular
god or goddess.
According to history, in
494, Pope Gelasius I finally suppressed the feast and in its place
instituted the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary.
Ultimately, it is
speculated that this festival representations of the foundations of
Valentine's Day as we now celebrate this romantic day for lovers. |
