DRAQUAL MUSIC

The CD on the turntable ends. The sounds of the next disk shifting into play-position are followed by the beginning refrains of a techno-sexo piece Vlad readily recognizes as by sexy Vancouver-based singer mARte. The song, Do You?, presently heads the list of potential plays for next fashion season’s show. —SUCKS! THE FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES.

In ear-splitting override of the resonant rhythmic whoosh … whoosh … whoosh … begins the hypnotically intense musical piece, Fight, specially commissioned by Vlad from the very-in-at-the-moment young composer Dj Jonez… —SUCKS! THE FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES.

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?

Stud Draqual Candle
By Candle Artist Jfay of Studio 3B

A Slip To Die For Candle
Available From Candle Artist Jfay, Studio 3B

MURDERS IN FASHION.

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.

Draqualium vampirum

“I did not kill him, because the flower he discovered was so rare as to have never been seen before — which it was. I did not kill him, because the flower was so exceptionally, extraordinarily, and exotically beautiful — which it was. I killed him because the red-dye derivative from the flower could be beneficial and exclusive to FAMILY DRAQUAL textiles for years to come." — 12 July 1869 entry from Vlad Draqual’s Sud American Journal.

Something Else For You To Blow...

The Draqual Vampyre Candle

By Candle Artist Jfay of Studio 3B

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...

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......

Exclusively for DRAQUAL Stained-Glass Panel “The author William Maltese as St. Bartholomew” by Diego Tolomelli ~ www.ikostudio.it/erotic/eng/erotic.html graphic manipulation by Deana Jamroz $1,500,000.00

His pleasure, here, isn’t the same as when he stands before the huge stained-glass window of St. Etienne’s underground; that’s as close to a religious experience as the irreverent Vlads can ever hope to have. This is more laic, even if one o Diego’s new panels portrays the Christian St. Bartholomew in the process of being flayed alive. —SUCKS! THE FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES.
