Brought to you by Picking Up the Ghost by Tone Milazzo! Pick up the ebook for only $2.99 until May 8th! This week I run part 1 of the Peter V. Brett interview from World Fantasy Con, and talk about how to handle unrequited love. (In a story, I mean. I can't help you handle it in real life)
Living in St. Jude, a 110-year-old dying city on the edge of the Mississippi, is tough. But when a letter informs fourteen-year-old Cinque of the passing of the father he never met, he is faced with an incomplete past and an uncertain future. A curse meant for his father condemns Cinque to a slow death even as it opens his eyes to the strange other world around him. With help from the ghost, an enigmatic White Woman, a Loa, and a devious shape-shifter, Cinque gathers the tools to confront the ghost of his dead father. But sometimes too much knowledge can be dangerous - and the people he trusts most are those poised to betray him.
