BLOOD CHILD now available!

NEW RELEASE: BLOOD CHILD, a paranormal thriller about a man with a dark destiny and a parasite on his soul.

Available as an ebook from Amazon, Amazon UK, iTunes, and Smashwords for only $1.99.

Blood Child is a prequel story in the urban fantasy series The End of the World and Some Other Things. Earlier this month I had released The Man with the Devils Tongue (which you can get for FREE from Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and iTunes – it remains $0.99 on Kindle). The Man with the Devil’s Tongue introduced you to the female lead of the series, the young April Frausini. With Blood Child, you are introduced to the male lead, the newly chosen Pale Rider, Trey Decarr.

Blood Child is a bit different from The Man with the Devil’s Tongue -- a bit nastier, more violent, and a tad darker in tone. This is partly because it’s a book where Death himself is the hero. Decarr’s a bit of a bastard, but he’s trying. He used to kill people for a living until he caught the attention of the Powers That Be. They named him Death, the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Instead of helping to bring about the end times, Decarr rejects his role and does what he can to prevent the coming Apocalypse, making him an enemy of demons everywhere. In Blood Child, his rebellious choices enrage the long dead Ivan Tarkovsky, the man who was chosen to be Death during World War II. Tarkovsky leaves the comforts of Hell so that he may possess Decarr and set him on the ‘proper path’…

A bit of background info for those interested: Blood Child was written during 2013’s NaNoWriMo. This was my first attempt at the competition and I did all right, completing my manuscript well before the end of November. Lots of time on the shelf, followed by a few rounds of edits, and you have the book you see now. I rather like it. It’s like a sort of American road trip horror show mixed with paranormal/urban fantasy stuff. I dig it. I hope you do, too.

Blood Child is available for $1.99 for Kindle, Smashwords, and iBooks. It should be available for Nook before the end of the day.

A paperback copy will be available at some later date for around $10. It was always my intention to make the paperback available at the same time as the ebook, but when I decided to publish three books in six weeks I knew that something was bound to go wrong at some point. I’ll let you know when the paperback becomes available.
