Love At First Bite Returns from the Grave

Books three and Four are out!

I swear this series has more lives in it than a cat.

Honor at Stake is on its fourth edition. The other three books are on edition #3. But that’s what happens when you have two publishers fall out from underneath you.

Yesterday, I said that books three and four would be out by the end of the week. Apparently, they were listed before the end of yesterday, if these are any indication.

So, item one: Live and Let Bite.

Yes, I do like my puns. Why?

A 2017 Dragon Award Nominee for Best Horror Novel!
Marco is spiraling out of control.

He knows it. His team knows it. Everyone around him can see that he’s just a bomb waiting to explode.

The only woman who can bring him back from the edge is also the woman who lit his fuse.

Ever since the demon Asmodeus tried to murder Marco, Amanda Colt has been hunting down every lead to find the true evil behind the attack. Her investigation uncovers a vampire assassin that Amanda has faced once before - and she lost. Stronger than anything they’ve faced before, the assassin isn’t alone. As Marco flirts with self-destruction and the armies of Hell prepare to descend, they must come together to stop a thousand-year-old assassin that has never failed.

Even worse, they must finally face up to their feelings for each other!

I feel like I could have done better on that last line of the copy … but eh, too late now. I did that write up nearly a decade ago now, so I’ll take the mulligan.

Yes, I do like pushing my characters to the breaking point, just to see what I can get out of them.

And of course, there is a final round: Good to the Last Drop.

The next part was inspired by the question: so, how can I throw an even bigger monkey wrench into this scenario?

Merle Kraft, Marco Catalano and Amanda Colt have battled against the mythical Council, a supernatural conspiracy that monsters fear. This war has brought them up against vampires, minions, and demons from Hell.. Along the way, they have accumulated allies among the police, the military, the mafia, college students, lowly street gangs, and even other vampires. Marco and Amanda have overcome their biggest terror - their passion for each other.

But now, they face the final threat, one that is the culmination of every threat before them. This creature from Hell has powers beyond anything they’ve ever seen before and has allies of his own: including SpecOps minions, an army of vampires, and packs of werewolves.

And that was before Marco got bitten.

Yeah. I can always make things worse. Never doubt that. It’s why I took it as a challenge when one reader said that Saint Tommy was too powerful. My first thought was “Well, time to put him in the hospital.”

Be well all. I’ve got some posts for next week based around the building of the series. So enjoy.
