    Nice Guys Bite audiobook to be released on Dec. 20 …

    E-Novella #15.5I have an update on the audiobook for Nice Guys Bite, Elemental Assassin #15.5. The audiobook will be released on Tuesday, Dec. 20. You can pre-order the audiobook here:

    Audible / Amazon

    Note that the narrator will be David Marantz — NOT Lauren Fortgang. Since this is from Silvio’s point of view, Audible decided to use a male narrator, since Lauren is the voice of Gin.

    Also, I have been told that if you are an Audible member, then you can potentially listen to the audiobook for free through the Audible Channels service. But I’m not 100% sure how that works, so you might want to check your membership about that.

    Anyway, I hope that everyone enjoys the audiobook. Happy listening!

    And of course you can still get the e-book through all the usual retailers:

    Amazon Kindle / Barnes & Noble / Books-A-Million / Google Play / iBooks / Kobo

    Nice Guys Bite is an e-novella that takes place after the events of Unraveled, book #15. It is told from the point of view of Silvio Sanchez, Gin’s personal assistant. It is about 20,000 words — around 70 pages — and is available as an e-novella. There will not be a print version at this time. The e-novella is priced at $1.99.

    Here is the description. As always, if you do not want to be spoiled, you might want to skip reading the description:

    New York Times bestseller Jennifer Estep (Mythos Academy) continues her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series with an e-novella starring Silvio Sanchez, the vampire assistant of Gin Blanco, as he goes on a holiday date that turns out to be more deadly than romantic.

    Working for Gin Blanco (aka the Spider, the assassin who runs the Ashland underworld) doesn’t leave much time for romance, especially with Gin’s holiday party planning in full swing. But when he catches the eye of a charming gentleman, Silvio finds himself going out for coffee.

    All’s fair in love and war, though. Just as Silvio is starting to enjoy himself, he realizes he’s being watched. His nice-guy date doesn’t sense the danger, and Silvio wants to keep it that way (and, well, keep the guy alive) so Silvio ends the date early—only to be abducted by some villainous giants.

    Will Silvio survive the night and make it back to the Pork Pit in time for Gin’s holiday party? Only if he decks the hall with bodies …

    You can read a brief excerpt of the e-novella by going to this page. Scroll down, and click on the Read Excerpt tab. I had a lot of fun writing Silvio’s e-novella, and I hope that everyone enjoys Nice Guys Bite. Happy reading! 🙂

    NOTE ABOUT THE UPCOMING AUDIO VERSION

    Some folks have been asking about an audio version of Nice Guys Bite. I’m happy to report that there will be an audiobook. However, it won’t be out today, Dec. 12, the same day as the e-book. So if you want to read Silvio’s story ASAP, you will have to download the e-book.

    Due to Audible’s production schedule, there just wasn’t time for a same-day release. I don’t have a firm release date for the audiobook, but I’m hoping that it’s available before Christmas.

    Also, Lauren Fortgang will not be the narrator for this. She is the voice of Gin, and this is from Silvio’s point of view, so Audible has decided to use David Marantz, a male narrator, for Silvio’s voice.

    I’ll post more info on the audiobook as soon as I get it, so stay tuned for more. In the meantime, I hope that everyone enjoys the e-book of Nice Guys Bite.

    Unraveled, Elemental Assassin #15, up for pre-order …

    Unraveled finalUnraveled, book #15 in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series, will be released on Aug. 30.

    The book will be available in print, e-book, and audiobook formats from all the usual retailers. It is up for pre-order at the following sites:

    Amazon Kindle / Amazon print / Barnes & Noble / Books-A-Million / Google Play / iBooks / IndieBound / Kobo

    Audible / Amazon

    The audiobook will be available through Audible and Amazon, and Lauren Fortgang will once again be the narrator. The audiobook pre-order links will be going up closer to the release date, probably sometime in mid-July.

    Here is the Unraveled description. This contains some spoilers from Bitter Bite, book #14. So if you haven’t read that far in the series yet, you may want to avoid reading the description below.

    What could go wrong when you’re trying to unravel a decades-old conspiracy? 

    As the current queen of the Ashland underworld, you would think that I, Gin Blanco, would know all about some secret society controlling things from behind the scenes. I might be the Spider, the city’s most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasn’t done me a lick of good in learning more about “the Circle”. Despite my continued investigations, the trail’s gone as cold as the coming winter.

    So when Finnegan Lane, my foster brother, gets word of a surprising inheritance, we figure why not skip town for someplace less dangerous for a few days? That place: Bullet Pointe, a fancy hotel resort complex plus Old West theme park that Finn now owns lock, stock, and barrel. At first, all the struttin’ cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilder—and deadlier—than any of us expected.

    Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight …

    I’ve always wanted to write a western, and part of Unraveled, book #15, Aug. 30, takes place in an Old West theme park. So the book is my take on a western, Spider-style, of course, with Gin facing down some evil cowboys, among other bad guys. 🙂

    You can read the first chapter of Unraveled by going here. Scroll down, and click on the Read Excerpt tab.

    I hope that everyone enjoys the book when it is released.
