Ink and Shadows now out on Audiobook!

51CRmdDC1yL._SL300_Link to Audible! Greg Tremblay narrating.

Kismet Andreas lives in fear of the shadows.

For the young tattoo artist, the shadows hold more than darkness. He is certain of his insanity because the dark holds creatures and crawling things only he can see – monsters who hunt out the weak to eat their minds and souls, leaving behind only empty husks and despair.

And if there’s one thing Kismet fears more than being hunted – it’s the madness left in its wake.

The shadowy Veil is Mal’s home. As Pestilence, he is the youngest – and most inexperienced – of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, immortal manifestations resurrected to serve – and cull – mankind. Invisible to all but the dead and insane, the Four exist between the Veil and the mortal world, bound to their nearly eternal fate. Feared by other immortals, the Horsemen live in near solitude, but Mal longs to know more than death, war and famine.

Mal longs to be…more human. To interact with someone other than lunatics or the deceased.

When Kismet rescues Mal from a shadowy attack, Pestilence is suddenly thrust into a vicious war – where mankind is the prize, and the only one who has faith in Mal is the human the other Horsemen believe is destined to die.

 

Dishing Some Dirt(y)

DH_date_announcement
So there we have it.

The official release date for Dirty Heart, the final book in the Cole McGinnis series.

A little over two months and I will be closing the door to the first “house” I’ve built.  The book is pretty much done, going through the final stages of the production process. The cover and blurb are set. ARCs haven’t gone out yet but I’ll be doing that closer to the release date, along with a firm caveat not to post spoilers.

I’m assuming you all don’t want spoilers.

When I started this series, I knew I’d eventually reach this point. Did take a bit of a side trip with Down and Dirty because well, it seemed like you all wanted Bobby and Ichi’s relationship written down but here we go… the end.

Is it bittersweet? In a lot of ways, yes. But in one HUGE way, no. See, there won’t be that secret any more. That underlying question. I knew I was going to be answering the why did Ben shoot them and now, a few years later… it’s time to let that secret go.

And time for Cole… and Jae… to move on with their lives. Just…off the page.

For a while. But you never know when a leather-wearing granny dom is going to need some help.

Gutted…

Jesus.

Lemmy and now, David Bowie.

I’m not even sure how to process the loss of two musical talents, while so diverse, had such an impact on my life.

And of course, David as the Goblin King.

Can’t even.

Ah, the rains….

We’ve been having some serious rains. And today, hail. Small hail. Nothing too serious but enough to go… look, hail! It was clear for a little bit but it’s back to grey and sleepy weather.

Making soup tonight for dinner. Well from turkey and chicken carcasses with some veggies I’ll roast when I get home. Including really nice turnips.

Turnips are tricky here in SoCal. Sometimes they get very old and people try to sell them. Turnips should not be wrinkled. I wish we got good parsnips but we don’t. Not here.

Today is a miso soup and tea kind of day. But alas, I have to finish this book. SOOOOON! Maybe. *grins* But I do know how it will end.
