I’m glad the post is early as tomorrow is the big Steampunk Spectacle and this year we’re rifting off George Melies works. It should be a blast but I’ll be gone all day.

I’m going to start snippeting from my upcoming release Blood Red Roulette, my vampires in Vegas (blurb, cover and pre-order links at the end)

Snippet –He’d first stumbled across Delilah’s when he’d staked out the area on his true job: an enforcer for the Chiaroscuro, an organization of supernaturals who kept ill-mannered and dangerously violent supernaturals under control. A vampire himself, Arrigo had tracked a renegade vampire to The Alibi, a biker bar a block away from Delilah’s. About the only thing worth noting in The Alibi had been a cute blond bartender. As for the renegade vampire, the idiot proved to be a fledgling so full of himself, it hadn’t been much of a fight. Arrigo barely broke a sweat killing him. Arrigo had been with the Chiaroscuro for so many centuries, fledglings posed little threat to him.

Blurb Arrigo Giancarlo’s friends think he’s a rich young man with the unusual job of paranormal investigator, working with his psychic assistant in Las Vegas. In truth he’s a two-thousand-year-old vampire and member of the Chiaroscuro, a group of Supernaturals dedicated to keeping humanity safe from the more dangerous of their kind. He’s also openly bisexual… but alone.

When he spots Luc St. John in a bar, Arrigo is intrigued. What begins as an effort to repay the kindness shown to him in the past quickly turns into much deeper feelings for the suffering and displaced Cajun. For Luc’s part, he feels too poor, too uneducated, and too bound to his hateful family to ever be worthy of elegant and cultured Arrigo.

An old enemy, Eleni, blames Arrigo for murdering her true love. On the anniversary of that death, she’s back to take revenge. As Arrigo’s closest friends fall victim to savage attacks, he fears nothing will keep Luc safe. Should he break both their hearts and let Luc go, or is it too late? If Luc’s already in Eleni’s sights, Arrigo knows that like most things in Vegas, the odds are against him.

I’m worn out and sick between troubles at the university and an inner ear infection that’s been plaguing me all week.

This will be the last snippet from These Haunted Hills for a while because I want to start snippeting from some upcoming releases. Brendan and Josh are now done listening to the evidence they captured.

I should probably write this up.” Brendan popped the recorder out of his laptop.

“You don’t have to go,” Brendan said, looking almost surprised he said it. “Feel free to turn on the TV. It won’t bother me.”

I was at the Mothman festival today which was nowhere near as fun as it is usually and hot to boot so I’m heat beat I’ll keep this quick.

More from These Haunted Hills where they are listening to the captured ghostly evidence.

Brendan grabbed a notepad he had on the table since they were using his laptop to listen with. He jotted it down. Josh stared, horrified the man’s handwriting was worse than his own. He always pictured Brendan as having the perfect script of a Victorian gentleman in spite of the scribbled autograph he had in his books. Josh had been attributing that to Brendan being exhausted at signings. Nope, he wrote like the pen was in his nose.

Brendan jabbed a finger at him. “Hush. Come on, let’s hear more.”

It’s been a lazy week but now my procrastination has set me up with a brutal weekend. Whimpers. I didn’t do much actual writing (I lie but it was all for a fanfic novel I started 15 years ago and was challenged to finish so by god, that Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series crossover is FINISHED)

Still with the ghost evidence perusal in These Haunted Hills. Pretty soon I’m going to change it up and start snippeting my upcoming release.

As Brendan poured more fruit of the vine, Josh set up the recorder. He always hated the sound of his voice on recording but was there anyone who didn’t? There was nothing but the sounds of him asking questions and his and Brendan’s footsteps for a few minutes. Between questions while they were in the bedroom a faint voice sounded. He and Brendan sat up straighter in near unison.

“No.”

Sorry it took so long to catch up on everyone’s snippets. It was Monday then suddenly Saturday morning and I’m not sure what happened between! Time warp, I swear.

Still reviewing ghostly happenings with Josh and Brendan in These Haunted Hills

“We watched this (the video evidence) together. Might as well listen to the recording together too. Do we need the headphones to really hear it or can we just turn it up loud?”

Brendan made an unhappy noise. “You have a point. Want more wine while we listen?”
