*FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY*

During the first quarter of 2010, local author Susan Blexrud will be donating 100% of the profit from the sale of her new book “Love Fang” to Youth OUTRight. To purchase the book, visit Amazon.com.

Susan Blexrud’s Books:

Love Fang is the tale of a vampire with an infected fang who falls in love with his dentist. Dental drills whir and hearts pound as this unlikely duo struggles to find happiness. Will he reconcile his 500-year-old guilt and grief? Will she trade her fear for a set of fangs?

Delora’s Necklace propels a modern Mexican-American college student back 900 years to the Mayan civilization and a husband she didn’t know she had. Will she return to her comfortable life in Miami, or risk everything for a Mayan warrior?
