I can fall down a research rabbit hole like nobody's business...

As promised, here is a quick peek behind the scenes at the research for "Shadow of Death". It was definitely an interesting journey! If you'd like to follow Lana on a visual tour of her path through Egypt, I've put together a YouTube playlist that's linked in the description of the video below. I also included a few extra notes with timestamps for some of the significant locations and antiquities featured in the book.

I hope you enjoy!  

Only a week left to get 3 books for 99¢!

If you haven't read my Lana Harvey series yet, now is a great time to visit Limbo City! "Lost In Limbo" the omnibus of the first 3 books, is available for 99¢ until August 31st. 

If you've already read the series but have a friend or two who you think might enjoy it too, it would mean the world to me if you'd let them know! There are several easy ways to spread the word. You could forward this email, or if you're more comfortable with social media, I have sharable posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Thanks in advance for your Grim generosity! <3

A Fancy Free Vamp Read!

If you've read my Blood Vice series, you probably know I'm a sucker (heh) for exploring seedy, paranormal underworlds through the eyes of the newly undead. If you are too, and you're looking for a fresh read to sink your fangs in, "A Scarlet Fever" (book one in the Bloodborne Pathogens series by C. Rene Astle) is FREE at all major e-bookstores! 

Mina’s dying for life to return to normal.

But she's still reeling from her mother’s sudden death. What she wants most in the world is to get back to art school and her job at a downtown tattoo shop. Then her roommate suggests a night of dance, drink and distraction.

Despite a backlog of schoolwork, Mina agrees. She soon finds herself in the arms of a sexy stranger with amber eyes. When she invites him home, she doesn’t realize they’re the eyes of a devil in disguise.

The next morning, she tries again to get her life back together. But plagued by a wicked headache, unusual hungers and a burning desire, she realizes something is wrong.

As she struggles to figure out what’s going on, she’s confronted by a tenacious vampire with tales of hellish creatures and ancient battles, she’s forced to ask herself: Will life ever be normal again?

Find out for yourself in this dark, gritty story!
