Martyr's Vow Series, Book 2
Horror/Supernatural/Romance
Date Published: 12-15-2023
Publisher: Shadow Spark Publishing
All Armand wants is to share his life with his girlfriend Vonnie. But money is tight, their relationship is fizzling, and not even a monster-hunting side gig is paying off.
When a mysterious drifter named Mr. Penny-Farthing blows into town on his antique high-wheeler, Armand thinks his troubles are over. Penny-Farthing offers Armand and Vonnie enough money to cover their expenses with one condition: they must find and return the soul of a serial killer who escaped Hell.
Completing Penny-Farthing’s contract won’t be easy when demons appear all over the city and bodies start piling up. Overwhelmed and pushed to the brink, Armand realizes his greatest fear isn’t demons or shadowy murderers: it’s losing Vonnie forever. Can Armand stop a killer and keep the woman he loves, or will Hell take everything from him?
Nail-biting and visceral, Mr. Penny-Farthing is a high-octane horror story about escaping your comfort zone while fighting for love.
What is the hardest part of writing
your books?
Resisting the
urge to throw the laptop out of the window and emit a painful primal scream.
Seriously, the hardest part of writing for me is staying the course and
finishing.
What are your most played songs?
For Mr. Penny-Farthing, I went full heavy
metal: Dio’s “Holy Diver” and “Last in Line”, Metallica’s “Turn the Page”, Ozzy
Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon” and System of a Down’s “Toxicity”.
Do you have critique partners or beta
readers?
I have a
fantastic beta reader who reads my work and gives me notes and feedback. Some
of these notes are hilarious. She gets me.
What book are you reading now?
Slewfoot by Brom.
How did you start your writing career?
I was a newspaper
reporter for years, writing news stories and features. That’s where I learned
writing on deadline and the basic components of writing. My first published
work was a role-playing game called Ravaged
Earth. I’m a gamer and wanted to write my own setting, so I spent years
working with a game company and developing a science fiction pulp game. After
the second revised edition of Ravaged
Earth was published, I wanted to write short stories, and spent years
writing the most atrocious, cringe-inducing fiction. After taking a few writing
classes, I landed my first short story sale, then another. While I was in grad
school, I signed a contract for my debut novella. A year after that, I landed a
four-book deal for The Martyr’s Vow series.
Tell us about your next release.
It’s a cosmic
horror sunshine noir about a reporter in the 1960s who is writing about the
murder of his ex-girlfriend. As he investigates deeper he uncovers a shadowy
conspiracy in his quaint seaside resort town. I pulled from my own experience
as a reporter for this one and had a blast writing it. That one’s due for a
June 24 release.
