    Poison Promise, Elemental Assassin #11, released …

    Book #11 Poison Promise, Elemental Assassin #11, has been released. Huzzah! As always, I hope that everyone enjoys reading about Gin’s latest adventure.

    Poison Promise is available in print, e-book, and audiobook formats from all the usual retailers, including the following:

    Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Books-A-Million / iTunes / Kobo / IndieBound

    The audio book is available through Audible, and the awesome Lauren Fortgang is once again the narrator.

    And here is the cover blurb for Poison Promise. This does contain spoilers for previous books in the series:

    I specialize in making death wishes come true.

    Pop quiz. Which do you think is deadlier: Burn, the nastiest drug ever to hit the mean streets of Ashland, or me, Gin Blanco, the assassin known as the Spider? Answer: Me—because I don’t kill you slowly.

    Normally, drug dealers aren’t my department. But I’m turning up the heat on some relentless Burn-pushing thugs who won’t leave my friends alone. Pushers who have my cop sister beside herself with rage, so I’m stepping up to keep her from doing something stupid and getting herself killed. Once I’m in, I’m in, and these folks have picked their poison: the Spider’s venom. But even bad guys have their good days, and sometimes even my Ice and Stone magic isn’t enough. For behind the drug is a vicious vampire with a scientific eye for results. And behind him… trouble like I haven’t seen since I took down my legendary nemesis, Mab Monroe.

    Hope everyone enjoys the book. Happy reading!

  • Rob-Con 2014 is approaching …

    Today, I wanted to give a shout-out to Robert Pilk and John Stone at Mountain Empire Comics. They are gearing up for Rob-Con 2014, which will be held Saturday, Aug. 2 at Viking Hall in Bristol, Tenn.

    I’ll be among the guests — writers, artists, and others — attending the con, and I’ll be signing books.

    If you’ve never been before, Rob-Con is a really fun event. There are tons of comics, toys, figurines, games, and more for sale, and there is also a costume contest. If you like comics or just fantasy in general, come and check out the event this year.

    Hope to see you there.
