Vancouver, WA, August 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Barking Rain Press, a non-profit fiction publisher, announced the acquisition of the worldwide print and electronic publishing rights for the YA Fantasy novel "The Celibate Succubus" from noted Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, author Barton Paul Levenson.

Can a demon aspire to salvation? “Team Packer” is a covert Catholic strike team against supernatural evil with a secret weapon in its arsenal: 16-year-old Delilah Vincentio—the world’s only Christian succubus. Trained by demons to despise humanity and lead them into sin, her unprecedented capacity for mercy caused her to renounce her place in Hell—and gain an angelic referral to Team Packer. Delilah is assigned to infiltrate the Order of the Lightbringer, a Satanic cult that plans to make Pittsburgh a test site for the Apocalypse.

After Delilah’s identity is almost discovered, Team Packer sends her to high school to hide out until things cool down. But while Delilah may be reformed from her beguiling ways, she’s still very much a demon—and she hasn’t learned how to play well with others. In fact, trying to fit in and keep a low profile at high school may prove to be a tougher battle than bringing down the Order of the Lightbringer.

Publication for both the print and eBook formats of “The Celibate Succubus” is scheduled for the first quarter of 2013. Interested readers can preview the first four chapters for free by visiting the Barking Rain Press website at barkingrainpress.org.
