More info on BLOOD OF MY BLOOD to Come!

Just a quick note to let y'all know: I will be revealing the cover of BLOOD OF MY BLOOD and a tiny update about the book to my newsletter subscribers this weekend.

If you want to be in the vanguard of those seeing the cover, go sign up: right here.

The newsletter is VERY low volume (well, except for this month, when I have a lot of news!) and you can, of course, easily unsubscribe at any time. (It will hurt my feelings and destroy my self-esteem, but I won't take it out on you.)

If you don't want to sign up, that's cool -- the cover and update will post to the BLog and this Goodreads blog sometime on Monday.

See how easy that is?

Blood of My Blood is Coming (so is Lucky Day!)

The third and final book in the I Hunt Killers trilogy has a name! As you can tell from the top of this post, the title is Blood of My Blood. Because two bloods in the title makes it twice as nice!

Here’s the description:

Jazz Dent has been shot and left to die in New York City. His girlfriend Connie is in the clutches of Jazz’s serial killer father, Billy. And his best friend Howie is bleeding to death on the floor of Jazz’s own home in tiny Lobo’s Nod. Somehow, these three must rise above the horrors their lives have become and find a way to come together in pursuit of Billy. But then Jazz crosses a line he’s never crossed before, and soon the entire country is wondering: “Like father, like son?” Who is the true monster?

The chase is on, and this time Jazz is the hunted, not the hunter. And beyond Billy there lurks something much, much worse. Prepare to meet…the Crow King.

So, yeah, there’s that.

Blood of My Blood will be in your hot little hands on September 23.

But if you can’t wait until September for I Hunt Killers action, I’d like to draw your attention to the parenthetical part of the headline above.

Lucky Day is a special project I’ve had in mind almost since the very beginning of the series. It’s set four years before I Hunt Killers and tells the story of G. William catching Billy Dent. I really love this little tale, and I’m thrilled that it will be available in the spring as an e-novella for y’all to read as you wait for Blood of My Blood.

So, that’s it for now. Stay tuned for the covers to both Blood of My Blood and Lucky Day, as well as samples! To be the first to see them, be sure to sign up for my newsletter!
