APRIL CONTEST

  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

For all of you paranormal fans, we have a treat in store for you.  This month’s contest is inspired by our April New Face, Javan Shephard, and his debut release, VAMPIRE OF GOD.  In short, VAMPIRE OF GOD is about a woman, who through a series of events, finds herself thrust hip deep into a world that she never knew existed.  Her journey takes here to several breathtaking locations around the world, both real and imagined.  

With this exciting tale as our inspiration, for our April contest we are asking that put on your creative caps, and submit a short romantic paranormal story (4,000 words or less) that feature both vampires and a famous landmark outside the United States (e.g Taj Mahal in India, the Eiffel Tower in Paris).  Again be creative, you can include additional paranormal elements or creatures, as long as vampires are featured in your story.

As a reward for all your hard work and effort, along with a signed copy for VAMPIRE OF GOD, the winner will also receive a gift basket filled with the following delicacies, all inspired from the locations featured in VAMPIRE OF GOD:

• Portugal- Red Wine

• Nigeria- Beer

• Greece- Cheese

• Israel- Smoked Meat

The winner’s short story will also be featured both on RomanceInColor.com and on Javan’s website.
