Bound, Chinatown Demons, Book One

Chinatown, San Francisco.

A different place — another time— and where the city’s streets keep secrets, shadowy mysteries SFPD Inspector Spencer Ricci needs to dig through after he finds himself on a case involving a dismembered, mummified man in a restaurant’s locked storage room.

Spencer drags around a lot of baggage, including an ongoing battle with the bottle and a long career as an LAPD detective he’d set fire to in a blaze of booze-soaked mistakes. San Francisco is supposed to be a new start but his old ghosts haunt him, beckoning him back into his self-destructive bad habits. Bad habits that include contemplating doing dirty things with the wrong kind of guy and this time, it’s a sleek, cold-tempered medical examiner named Xian Carter with a complicated reputation.

For a century-old demon, Xian Carter is content with his secretive life. Hiding his nature from the mundane world, he blends in with the city’s inhabitants as best he can but even the best of predators make mistakes. Delving into the mysteries of the dead provide a welcome distraction from endless nights and hiding in plain sight amuses him, until something supernaturally wicked comes knocking on his door with an extremely hot, broody Inspector close behind.

Murder makes for strange bedfellows and this one is no exception. The twists and turns of the case leaves Xian and Spencer on a wild goose chase after clues but Xian can only hope there’s a human at the end of the trail—because the last thing San Francisco needs is another predator.

There’s a special Hell… one Dante didn’t seem to find when he was cataloging Hells. It is the digging out of someone’s life and the red tape / paperwork involved in trying to pull together all of the loose threads they’ve left behind.

I’ve been trying to avoid the grief. Which is stupid because let’s face it, it’s water. Emotional water.

I do miss Jenn. I hate going through what she left behind. I’m sure everyone who is pitching in has to handle grief over and over again… and while we laugh, there is a bit of pain with each step.

So, here we are. I am glad I have the Five and everyone else around me. It’s just so fucking surreal and I keep waiting for someone to tell me they were wrong.

And I know that while she’s never coming home, she’s actually GONE home. To the stars and beyond.

First the Jenn Update. She’s doing well. Still under sedation but the surgery went great and she’s actually in the recovery ICU at the hospital. They are easing off sedation and trying to get her off the ventilator. Hopefully I’ll be able to see her waking up soon and complaining that all of her electronics are not there when I go in. I’ll have to at least bring her the phone. Dunno if they’d let her have a laptop in ICU. Also, when she moves out of ICU, we no longer will be able to visit unless they change the rules. But we’ll be able to zoom. So I have that to look forward to. I’ll have to load it on.

So, amid all of the nonsense of life, my sister Jenn (who lives with me) is currently in ICU and very sick. So she’s been my focus for the past few days.

I haven’t forgotten all of you. And I am so grateful for your being here. It’s been a rough few months and I’m hoping to have something for you.

Much love…and there will be a Borking Report tomorrow. The Potato’s walk was postponed on Friday because of what was going on. But he needs his out time.

Kisses to all of you, vote and love your friends.

Ever have one of those days? Today is that day for me. So right now, I’m eating a salad and contemplating life.

Actually I’m contemplating watching a sashimi video on youtube.

Watch this space for news. 😀 I’ve got something coming up fast on the horizon that I’ll be sharing.

But for now… here’s a kitteh.
