I'm back! And I'm wicked-busy at the moment, playing catch-up on all the stuff I missed while I was out of town ... plus pulling together the new load of day-job work, freshly heaped upon me while in California. It's actually very cool work, and I would love to tell you about it, but they still won't let me. Alas.
Anyway! A number of neat things greeted me upon my return, not least of all ... this!
That's right - it's a sneak-peak author's copy of Hellbent, coming in LESS THAN A MONTH oh boy oh boy oh boy. And what's it about? I mean, besides that bit about how almost the entire first chapter is one big fat penis joke?* Here's the flap copy:
Vampire thief Raylene Pendle doesn't need more complications in her life. Her Seattle home is already overrun by a band of misfits, including Ian Stott, a blind vampire, and Adrian deJesus, an ex-Navy SEAL/drag queen. But Raylene still can't resist an old pal's request: seek out and steal a bizarre set of artifacts. Also on the hunt is a brilliant but certifiably crazy sorceress determined to stomp anyone who gets in her way. But Raylene's biggest problem is that the death of Ian's vaunted patriarch appears to have made him the next target of some blood-sucking sociopaths. Now Raylene must snatch up the potent relics, solve a murder, and keep Ian safe — all while fending off a psychotic sorceress. But at least she won't be alone. A girl could do a lot worse for a partner than an ass-kicking drag queen — right?
Sounds fun, yes? It is! I promise! And oh look, Amazon is selling it for less than ten bucks on preorder.
Now to answer a few questions: No, you don't have to have read Bloodshot in order to enjoy this one. Yes, I would be delighted if you should run out and get Bloodshot to read it first. Yes, I will still love you if you don't do that.
And finally, to wind down this post: Thanks so much to everyone who's already taken a chance on this weird little franchise; your support and encouragement has meant the world to me, and I appreciate it more than you know.
* Maybe you thought I was joking about that. I wasn't. But I love how the flap copy refers to them as "a bizarre set of artifacts" and not "penis bones." Heh.
