THREE Excerpts from Rob’s New Mainstream Supernatural Thriller: ALL SEEING EYE

ALL SEEING EYE: A Bold New Series by Rob Thurman - 07.31.12

Click for Larger Image

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cal Leandros novels comes a bold new supernatural thriller.

Picking up a small pink shoe from the grass forever changed young Jackson Lee’s life. Not only did its presence mean that his sister Tessa was dead—murdered and stuffed in the deep, black water of a narrow well—but the shoe itself told him so.

Tessa’s death triggers an even more horrific family massacre that, combined with this new talent he neither wants nor can handle, throws Jack’s life into a tailspin. The years quickly take him from state homes to the streets to grifting in a seedy carnival, until he finally becomes the cynical All Seeing Eye, psychic-for-hire. At last, Jackson has left his troubled past behind him and found a semblance of peace.

That is, until the government blackmails him. Helping the military contain the aftermath of a bizarre experiment gone violently wrong, everything Jackson knows about himself will change just as suddenly as it did with his little sister’s shoe.

And while change is constant…It’s never for the better.

[ Prologue ] [ Chapter 1 ] [ Chapter 4: Thirteen Years Later ]

DOUBLETAKE Dream Soundtrack – A Cal Leandros Mix Tape

Reavers!

Thank you for putting together one kickass dream soundtrack for The Leandros Brothers. Below is a collage of all the album art that links to the iTunes playlist.

Note: the songs are not listed in order of popularity – it's more like a "mix tape" to share with each other.

Three winners will be "gifted" this soundtrack, and we are very close to announcing all of the winners – ten total – for the entire DOUBLETAKE contestapalooza. We hope you loved this contest as much as we did!

To be continued…

-Rob and Jayda

DOUBLETAKE Dream Soundtrack 2012 – Come Out & Vote!

Caliban Leandros: Sinning With a Grin

[Do you like that little 2012 voting season reference we got in up there?] *wink-wink, nudge-nudge?*

So… we've pretty much decided which tracks you all submitted should be the top ten. But we'd like to have fifteen total songs on the soundtrack, and we're torn on which five to choose out of tracks 11 – 20.

So!

We'd love to get your opinions by voting in this poll. Yes, it is enabled for multiple selections, so pick your favorite five. Once that's done, we'll be announcing contest winners and giving you VIP access to two sneak preview excerpts of Rob's July release, ALL SEEING EYE.

Thank you for making this a truly great contest season for DOUBLETAKE!

-Rob and Jayda

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #1: “Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace

[image error]

Animal I Have Become

I can’t escape this hell

So many times i’ve tried

But i’m still caged inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?

No one will ever change this animal I have become

Help me believe it’s not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal

(This animal, this animal)

I can’t escape myself

(I can’t escape myself)

So many times i’ve lied

(So many times i’ve lied)

But there’s still rage inside

Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can’t control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?

No one will ever change this animal I have become

Help me believe it’s not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become

Help me believe it’s not the real me

Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare

I can’t control myself

Somebody wake me from this nightmare

I can’t escape this hell

(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)

And the video is just as perfect for Cal as the song!

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #2: “Sin With a Grin” by Shinedown

Sin With a Grin

Take a good look at agony

Force fed pass down

Time release

I’m inspired to find the liar

Black list X on the back

Of a soulfull man

I’ve got way’s you understand

Look left, look right, but I’m

Behind you

I never noticed, until I focused

On everything you did, you said,

You lit the fuse inside my head

[Chorus]

Thank you for reminding me

Of why I’m sick inside

Thank you for the venom, did

You think it would paralyze?

These scars I scratch, I tear

Are there under my skin

Where you’ve always been

Thank you for reminding me,

To sin with a grin

Hangman

Standing on a twisted 2×4

Built your house, but forgot

To lock the door

I’m inside with two black eyes

I have not one shred of sympathy

I have no use for apologies

I’m inspired to find the liar

I never noticed, until I focused

On everything you did, you said,

You lit the fuse inside my head

Thank you for reminding me

Of why I’m sick inside

Thank you for the venom, did

You think it would paralyze?

These scars I scratch, I tear

Are there under my skin

Where you’ve always been

Thank you for reminding me -

Of why I’m sick inside

Thank you for the venom, did

You think it would paralyze?

These scars I scratch, I tear

Are there under my skin

Where you’ve always been

Thank you for reminding me,

To sin with a grin

Sin with a grin [x3]

You mean like this??

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #3: “Monster” by Skillet

Monster

The secret side of me

I never let you see

I keep it caged

But I can’t control it

So stay away from me

The beast is ugly

I feel the rage

And I just can’t hold it

It’s scratching on the walls

In the closet, in the halls

It comes awake

And I can’t control it

Hiding under the bed

In my body, in my head

Why won’t somebody come and save me from this?

Make it end!

[Chorus]

I feel it deep within,

It’s just beneath the skin

I must confess that I

Feel like a monster

I hate what I’ve become

The nightmare’s just begun

I must confess that I

Feel like a monster

I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep

Hid under lock and key

I keep it caged

But I can’t control it

Cause if I let him out

He’ll tear me up

And break me down

Why won’t somebody come and save me from this?

Make it end!

I feel it deep within,

It’s just beneath the skin

I must confess that I

Feel like a monster

I hate what I’ve become

The nightmare’s just begun

I must confess that I

Feel like a monster

I feel like a monster

It’s hiding in the dark

It’s teeth are razor sharp

There’s no escape for me

It wants my soul,

It wants my heart

No one can hear me scream

Maybe it’s just a dream

Or maybe it’s inside of me

Stop this monster!

I feel it deep within,

It’s just beneath the skin

I must confess that I

Feel like a monster

I’m gonna lose control

Here’s something radical

I must confess that I

Feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster [x4]

Pretty self-explanatory, eh?
