Excerpt from Paroxysm
I’ve posted an excerpt from Paroxysm, my slightly sfnal thriller that’s now available as an ebook ($2.99) and a print-on-demand paperback ($12.99) from my website bookstore, Amazon, Kobo, and plenty of other places. You can even go into a brick-and-mortar bookstore and order the paperback, such are the wonders of modern self-publishing.
I’m still offering a free ebook to anyone who promises to blog or post about the book – and an Amazon review counts – so all you have to do is send me an email telling me the format you prefer. This offer will go on for a while, but once the book’s honeymoon is over, I will end it.
Here's the book's blurb:
Ruthless mercenaries, hired by an ex-Pentagon chemical-weapons designer turned rogue, take over a small town in Oregon. The plan: use the citizenry as guinea pigs in a test-run of a bootlegged bio-agent for an Islamist terror organization.
But something goes wrong and the mercs and their clients find themselves surrounded by townsfolk who have turned into hyper-coordinated killing machines.
Paroxysm is an action-packed tale about the seductive power of righteous violence, about how ordinary people can explode when fate gives them the power to hit back.
And once they’ve gone down that road, there’s no turning back.
