RED: The title of a new m/m anthology out from MLR Press later this year … with its passionately red-hot cover by Deana C. Jamroz … and its red-with-hot-passion erotic short story by internationally best-selling author William Maltese.
Maltese's Ludus Scaenicus Mortis Rubrae — a clever homage to Edgar Allen Poe’s infamous The Masque of the Red Death — puts two handsome and horny aristocratic young male lovers among a company of ill-fated revelers locked within the castellated walls of Prince Prospero’s fortified abbey … the latter with rooms a-flicker with Mistress Jfay’s candles.
DARE TO ENTER?
There are some places that shouldn't be entered...especially when alone...especially without invitation. So, let Vlad (writing as WILLIAM MALTESE) invite you to join him in this exploration of the S&M/B&D landscape wherein man/man love is expressed in chains, whips, handcuffs, ropes, leather, rubber, gags, hoods, paddles, pinchers, slings...and where sounds of passion are, more often than not, more terrifying than the screams of your worst nightmares.
Calling upon the Vlad Draqual (writing as William Maltese) S&M/B&D short-story masterpiece LOVE HURTS, by way of supplemental inspiration, Jfay has, this time, outdone herself with a candle that’s wrapped in chains and designed to bear the scars of one that has submitted to bondage and to the pains and passions of sex S&M/B&D style. The LOVE HURTS S&M CANDLE is a tall 3X9 pillar scented in Leather.

Written by internationally best-selling author William Maltese in collaboration with college professor Drewey Wayne Gunn, ARDENNIAN BOY provides ample evidence that if anyone burned “his candle” at both ends, it was Arthur Rimbaud who, a young and talented poet from the bucolic French countryside, came to Paris not only to seduce the then only-mediocre older and married poet Paul Verlaine, but to write and inspire such truly great verse that he’s well-known, even today, by anyone who knows anything about poetry.
If any book deserves its very own Jfay candle, it’s ARDENNIAN BOY, the shocking- biographical novel everyone is talking about that encapsulates the infamous and scandalous affair of French poets Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud.
Jfay’s ARDENNIAN BOY FRENCH-KISS CANDLE is inspired by two separate stanzas from translations of original-French poetry by Professor Gunn —
Infused with champagne fragrance (is there anything more “French” than champagne?), The ARDENNIAN FRENCH-KISS candle’s very thickly whipped and sensuously suggestive creamy white wax is poured to produce an erotic hint of sexual splatter, before being joined by beautiful and thickly whipped purple wax; the waxes coming together and intermingling like two lovers.
The ARDENNIAN BOY FRENCH-KISS candle is a must for anyone who has ever been enthralled by love, by romance, by sexual ecstasy, and/or by exquisitely erotic poetry!

Draqual Vampyre Chronicles From Internationally Best Selling Author William Maltese
Vlad walkie-talkie cues the light man; in the main room, the lights go out; the plethora of Jfay candles simultaneously go on to appreciative gasps from the audience bathed suddenly in what seems purely candlelight but cleverly includes artificial glow emanating from the ice bales stacked around the room.
Cascades of blood-like liquid flow are projected on all empty wall space, accompanied by the amplified pulse of an actual heartbeat.
SUCKS! THE FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES from
Internationally Best Selling Author William Maltese
Such is the set-up for Vlad Draqual's and the fashion giant House of Draqual's ultra sexy and over the top fashion show with blood splattered models dangling from meat hooks sporting blood splattered denim which are also sandblasted with motifs such as barbed wire, a bat (which is worn by Vlad), cobra and jaguar.
The Draqual Vampyre Candle has been designed by Jfay to have the appearance of Draqual blue jeans smeared with blood as are the fashions of Vlad Draqual in Willaim Maltese's SUCKS! and is scented in the ultra manly scent of Leather.
No mortal or vampyre can resist sexy Vlad or the Draqual Vampyre Candle......
How many of us have not thought of lighting, or have not lit, a candle in memory of a loved one?
Since even vampyres have family members who are lost, not only to the disintegrating powers of sunlight, but to the malicious intent of individuals, sometimes of whole families of vampyre slayers, out to destroy us by driving wooden stakes though our hearts, is it so unlikely that we, too, sometimes share the desire to light a candle in memoria?
And what other candle-maker to provide just such a DRAQUAL IN MEMORIA CANDLE for those FAMILY DRAQUAL members who have become victims of vampyre slayers, individuals or groups, than “the” candle-maker of all candle-makers, Jfay, who has done just that in this commissioned piece of art waxwork that portrays the horror that has befell many a family member by way of stake-through-heart. The DRAQUAL IN MEMORIA CANDLE is impressive in stature (4X12 pillar) and is fragranced in Frankincense & Myhrr, the final tribute to any family member who may have been hunted down by members of the church. The candle is actually pierced by a "real" wooden stake and is handpainted to emulate the tragedy of spilt vampyre blood.
—Vlad Draqual
DO meet STUD DRAQUAL, the mortal in the Family Draqual woodpile.
He’s young, handsome, well-built, charming, sophisticated …
… with his own penchant for mystery, mayhem, murder …
… head of his own haute-couture fashion empire …
… guardian of secrets regarding Draqual vibrantly colored silks …
And with a confused sexuality that has a lot to do with sucking…
… but not of blood.
Internationally best-selling author William Maltese goes erotic/exotic in his STUD DRAQUAL MYSTERY SERIES with chief protagonist Stud Draqual who is sexy, handsome, rich, cultured, head of a world-wide fashion empire based upon one-of-a-kind silk manufacturing, AND who designs to-die-for (literally and figuratively) haute-couture women’s lingerie. Oh, yes, in his high-fashion world of beautiful and available women and men, Stud finds himself neck-deep in his very own sexual identity crisis.
What better way, then, to represent this popular William Maltese erotic/exotic literary series than with an erotically phallic candle that intermingles some of the vibrant and exotic colors reminiscent of Stud-Draqual silks, including blood-red, and infuse the whole with the highly erotic/exotic fragrance of “Exotic” that sexily combines the decadent scents of peach, strawberry, melon and cassis on an undertone of wicked apple?
Someone not only killed the author, who'd been an underground movie star, who'd been a model, who'd been a hustler, who'd been a cross-dresser…but killed the borderline drunk, who'd been a TV-network executive and anchor-man for the national news.
Someone dressed each corpse in Draqualian silk…a very special silk, by very special silk worms, who ate very special mulberry leaves, to make very special cocoons pre-dyed, in Technicolor digestive tracts, to very special perfection.
Stud Draqual knew the silk…knew the dead men…and would eventually penetrate the mystery to his own eminent peril, to know the killer…
From the pages of William Maltese's first book in the Draqual Mystery Series, the A Slip To Die For Candle seems to have fallen prey of the killer who dresses his victims in Draqualian Silk. Scented in very rich and luscious Mulberry such as the mulberry leaves eaten by the very special silk worms used to produce the beautiful Draqualian Silk, the A Slip To Die For Candle should be enjoyed while reading of Stud Draqual's perilous journey into unraveling this deadly mystery.
