BLOODSUCKER COUNTY Up For Pre-Order!

My latest novel, Bloodsucker County, comes out on January 28th. And, sure, you COULD wait until then to order it, but if you pre-order the Kindle edition, it’ll cost you a wee $2.99 instead of a budget-breaking $3.99. Think what you could do with that extra dollar in your life! You could buy almost seven kernels of popcorn at the movie theater!
Get it HERE!
Here’s what it’s about…
Bloodsuckers—fanged and feral creatures who don’t play by the vampire rules—now far outnumber humans. All the major cities have fallen. Life is an ongoing effort to simply survive.
However, nineteen-year-old Lance Black has spent the past several years living with his mother in Out of Harm’s Way County. The few residents there have stayed alive by not drawing attention to themselves. It’s a lonely existence, but it keeps them from falling prey to the monsters…
…until Lance, walking through the forest, finds a stranger named Bill Tremaine covered in blood. He’s so badly injured that he’ll be lucky to make it through the night.
Yes, bloodsuckers did this to him, but Bill insists he killed his attackers. No more are following him. Everything is fine. It’s all good.
He is, of course, dead wrong. And when the bloodsuckers show up at Lance’s front door, he discovers this menace is far worse than anybody in the county ever realized.
Remember, you’ll save an entire dollar (ka-CHING!!!) if you pre-order HERE!

Happy December!
Hi, everybody! Welcome to the last month of 2024! I’ll have a new book announcement very soon…
In the meantime, my travels are over for the year, and there’s nothing currently on the schedule for 2025. So I’m clearing out what remains of my book stock, and offering free (!!!) shipping from my online store at jeffstrand.bigcartel.com! (United States only, sadly.)
Just use discount code FREESHIP when you check out, and the ever-rising cost of mailing the books is on me! They’re signed, of course. Personalized on request.
Many of the books are down to a single copy, so don’t lollygag or dawdle…
