Oh…And Another Thing About Kai… Tour Starts 9/6

MadLizard_Tour_bannerStarting Sept 6th! Because in my head, the number 5 is stuck someplace. It’s driving me insane. BUT I’m doing serialized shorts spread over the tour. The three short pieces I’ve done are:

  • The first, When Kai Fell in Love, is written a little bit after Dempsey took him in. He’s young in this section and while his Singlish isn’t great, he understands a lot of what he hears. This is two parts.
  • The second, When Kai Discovers He Does Not Bounce, is when he’s about in his early teens(ish) and he’s on a disaster of a hunt with Dempsey. This is in four parts.
  • The third, That Time Kai Rescued A Shoe, is a few months after Dempsey retired and he’s moved into his warehouse in San Diego. This is in three parts.

Hope you enjoy and don’t forget to enter the giveaway on EACH blog. Follow the stories as they unfold on the tour and enter to win a $20 USD Gift Certificate at the e-retailer of your choice at every stop!

MadLizardMamboFSMad Lizard Mambo
by Rhys Ford, from DSP Publications

Kai Gracen has no intention of being anyone’s pawn. A pity Fate and SoCalGov have a different opinion on the matter.

Licensed Stalkers make their living hunting down monsters and dangerous criminals… and their lives are usually brief, brutal, and thankless. Despite being elfin and cursed with a nearly immortal lifespan, Kai didn’t expect to be any different. Then Ryder, the High Lord of the Southern Rise Court, arrived in San Diego, Kai’s not-so-mundane life went from mild mayhem to full-throttle chaos.

Now an official liaison between the growing Sidhe Court and the human populace, Kai is at Ryder’s beck and call for anything a High Lord might need a Stalker to do. Unfortunately for Kai, this means chasing down a flimsy rumor about an ancient lost Court somewhere in the Nevada desert—a court with powerful magics that might save Ryder—and Kai’s—people from becoming a bloody memory in their Merged world’s violent history.

The race for the elfin people’s salvation opens unwelcome windows into Kai’s murky past, and it could also slam the door on any future he might have with his own kind and Ryder.

Wow. A Black Sea Hare.

This fascinated me. Of course I fascinate easily but it has an internal shell. Amazing creature. Well, creatures because shouts out to its smaller cousin, the brown hare.

Can’t Stop. Must Breathe.

So… life’s a bit twisted about and my deadlines are chasing me. I’ve got a book due on Sept 15th and well, I’m hacking at words to hit that deadline.

No, there’s no moving deadlines.

Nothing I was writing was hitting. Like nothing. There’s a certain feeling you get when you start writing a book and it begins to lay down but that wasn’t coming. So I had to shift gears…

And try something completely different.

I don’t know where this is going. Hell, I don’t even have a title. It might not make any fricking sense but screw it… Sept 15th and I’m over the halfway mark with only a little bit of plotting screwed down and ready to go.

So… do you trust me?

OOOhhhh movie!

I do want to see this. Of course I’ll have to wait for English Subtitles but it looks well done and from what I hear, a bit “X-Men / Avengers” but really, how can that be a bad thing? It’ll be interesting to see the different take and perspective of a Superhero movie from a cultural / social standpoint I have very little anchor in. This kind of thing fascinates me. It’s one of the major reasons I love watching foreign action films is because of how the world is portrayed from that cultural viewpoint and what a director brings to the table.

 

In Case You Missed This… Half Moon Bay #2

This will be released by Dreamspinner Press on December 5th.

Hanging the Stars (Half Moon Bay #2)
Angel Daniels grew up hard, one step ahead of the law and always looking over his shoulder. A grifter’s son, he’d learned every con and trick in the book but ached for a normal life. Once out on his own, Angel returns to Half Moon Bay where he once found…and then lost…love.

Now, Angel’s life is a frantic mess of schedules and chaos. Between running his bakery and raising his troubled eleven-year-old half-brother, Roman, Angel has a hectic but happy life. Then West Harris returns to Half Moon Bay and threatens to break Angel all over again by taking away the only home he and Rome ever had.

When they were young, Angel taught West how to love and laugh but when Angel moved on, West locked his heart up and threw away the key. Older and hardened, West returns to Half Moon and finds himself face-to-face with the man he’d lost. Now, West is torn between killing Angel or holding him tight.

But rekindling their passionate relationship is jeopardized as someone wants one or both of them dead, and as the terrifying danger mounts, neither man knows if the menace will bring them together or forever tear them apart.
