Book Description:
"Nothing is
easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, than he also believes to be
true."
- Demosthenes
As the first book
in the epic One Blood Series, Blood Junky sets the stage to an original tale of
vampires. Culled from over 15 years of
research and development, the book is an easy introduction into the vibrant and
realistic world of vampirism that Stavros has crafted. More of a psychological thriller, Blood Junky
spans the globe, telling a unique tale of obsession from two distinct time
periods in the life of the main character, Linnet Pevensey.
Blood Junky’s
lyrical fiction is flawlessly woven with historically accurate places, people,
and events, which is just one of the reasons why the book has been called “one
of the best vampire novels ever written…I think that this one has the potential
to become a new classic in the genre.” (Lori Bowland; LivingDeadMedia.com
Review: 2011) Blood Junky establishes new pathos and mythos for the immortal
bloodsucker that present a more logical, and scientifically plausible, reality
for how vampires could truly exist.
Though each book of the One Blood series was conceived as part of an
ever-widening, ever-increasing story line, Blood Junky is self-contained and
can be read independently.
Linnet Pevensey is
256 years old, and she’s feeling every inch of it. Besieged by a wall of
painful memories, longing for simpler times, she’s secluded herself off from
the world. Lin’s roommate, Z, is
unpredictable. A century-old vampire
whose blood parasite has begun its last cycle, she is enthralled in every
possible way to avoid the here and now.
And fate is moving them both toward clandestine events.
Ryan Silva is a
good looking, soulful songbird that has never had a problem getting any girl
he’s ever wanted. That is…until he met
Z. But getting the alluring punk’s
attention is proving more difficult than he’d ever imagined. Seduced by desires to have Z feed from him,
Ryan’s lines of reality blur, locking him on a downward spiral that threatens
to destroy, not just his soul, but his very life if he does not stop stalking
the vampires.
Dominique De’Paul,
the freed blood slave of the ancient race, is unsure if she’ll be able to stop
the tides of war and its inevitable genocide that have come knocking at her
door. She can’t hide from the fact that
her Children of Evensong are in peril!
And the clock is running out! An
emissary from the African warrior tribe has been dispatched to discern Mother
Night’s threat to the human race, and it looks as if her darling Linnet will be
sacrificed to the man’s passions in order to save her precious brood.
Weaving through the
consciousness of time, between past and present, this uniquely intense journey
of obsession & love travels the globe from modern day Los Angeles to the
bygone eras of London, Tangiers, Africa, and the exotic lands of São Paulo,
Brazil. Blood Junky is the first installment
to an elaborate voyage of redemption, and the history of our world.

Book Description:
"Love is a
serious mental disease"
- Plato, 428 BC -
348 BC
When one’s life is
long, the opportunity for sin is great.
How great, then, are the sins of a vampire strung to the wheel of fate?
This is the driving
question that consumes the continuing saga from the critically-acclaimed novel,
Blood Junky. Beginning just mere hours
after the last page of Blood Junky has turned with “some of the best vampiric
characters ever written in a novel,” (Lori Bowland; LivingDeadMedia.com, 2011)
Stavros takes the story to new heights.
Love in Vein is a tale of crime and consequence, of love and sacrifice,
intricately woven with real historic events.
Set amidst gorgeous southwestern landscapes, a seemingly innocuous
journey unravels a tapestry of events that threatens to crush the lives of all
who are stitched into fate’s delicate skein.
Linnet Pevensey is
a two hundred and fifty-six-year-old Child of Evensong. Plagued by the memories of a horrific
sandstorm in 1934 and the brutal murder of an entire farming village, she has
been locked into returning to the scene of the crime every decade looking for
redemption. With the wild, violent, and
unpredictable century-old vampire Z joining Lin on her ritual, the two lost
souls have wreaked havoc in their own right, killing and burning their feed
sites, to cover their tracks, when Lin feels the pull to return to that
northeastern corner of New Mexico.
Now, as they barrel
down the road to that hallowed site, pursued by two Arizona homicide
detectives, Lin finds hope for her salvation in the form of a young medical
student named Sarah Somers. But Sarah is
more than just a stranger that Lin has met along the way. She is the spitting image of one of the slain
villagers from the massacre that haunts the vampire.
Sarah’s uncanny
resemblance to the murdered woman draws Lin into a deep emotional journey of
karma and lies. She abandons her long
time friend for the young woman, causing unsettling repercussions that pits her
very soul against her dark vampiric nature.
Will Lin risk her
sanity to save the girl that destiny has re-birthed for her, or will she become
the monster that she has always feared?
As with each book
of the One Blood Series, it was conceived as part of an ever-widening,
ever-increasing story line, but is self-contained and can be read
independently. Love in Vein is a
pulse-pounding horror novel fueled with an adrenaline-induced joyride on the
wrong side of night!
Notorious Poet. Fool. Born in Washington DC.
Stavros was a writer and editor for The
Independent Underground Magazine. Raised in Southern Maryland, he
fled the Chesapeake Bay to the wilds of the New Mexican desert. He is a
single father of two, whose poetic works have been published in several online
and print publications, including Central Avenue, The Sword That Cuts Through
Stone, Poets Against The War, Conceptions Southwest, The Mynd, Imagine:
Creative Arts Journal, and Bartleby, where he won a specialty award for his
poem, Blackbird.
In 1999, he won an Official Selection into the Writer’s on the
Edge Festival for his play, The Redline. In 2001, he created the Poetry
Television Project for public cable access in Albuquerque, NM.
All eight volumes of Ptv’s ground-breaking show were broadcast to over 100,000
viewers on a network of regional PAC channels throughout the Southwest and
Baltimore. He helped to launch Unpublished Magazine,
sponsored the monthly poetry series, The Word Café, in the Duke
city, and produced a political compilation, Poetic Democracy.
In 2007, he released the award-winning documentary film, Committing Poetry in
Times of War.
In 2010, he launched the production management company, Organic Ghetto, and released its first imprint, Crazy Duck Press, with his first novel, Blood
Junky. Blood Junky received exceptional praise and review,
even being called "one of the best vampire novels ever written," by
Living Dead Media. The following year he helped to launch BioGamer
Girl, undertook a bigger East coast tour where he began selling his
original photographic art, and released two new novels through Crazy Duck
Press. Dead
Girl: A Romantic Zombie Tale of Revenge features a
stunning full-color cover and twelve black and white illustrations from tattoo
artist, Charles
Hearn. Blood Junky’s sequel, Love
in Vein, cemented the One Blood series with its continuation of
the story, garnering such review as to claim that the book and the series is
"comparable with, and at times surpasses, the 'Vampire Chronicles' by Anne
Rice."
In 2012, Stavros joined forces with the Vampire Professor, Bertena Varney, M.A.M.Ed, to co-create the
nonfiction annual anthology, Vampire
News, and officially became a Fangsmith with the creation of Organic
Ghetto's second imprint, Kaos Kustom Fangs.
He rounded out the year by writing and editing screenplays for the One
Blood Transmedia Project, recording Dead Girl as an audio book, and undertaking
his biggest national marketing campaign, The Book & Fang Tour.
In 2013, he and the Vampire Professor released the second volume
of Vampire
News: The (not so) End Times Edition and is currently working
on writing and growing his imprints. Stavros is also a musician who has
scored commercials, film shorts, documentaries, and television programs.
