Sonja Blue On Kickstarter

KILL CITY is the first  Sonja Blue novel in 10 years. But don't go looking for it at your local bookstore or Amazon. That's because the Big 6 Publishers have decided that it is ‘uncommercial’—largely due to a biting take on a certain popular series of vampire novels aimed at the Young Adult market, therefore consigning it to limbo.  So I have  decided to forego drastically re-tooling the plot and appeal directly to the fans of the Sonja Blue series for financing to complete and publish KILL CITY.

While mainstream publishers might not feel there’s enough demand to warrant the outlay for KILL CITY, I believe otherwise. I know there’s an audience out there for this novel. Every day I get emails and posts on my Facebook page from different fans throughout the world, wanting to know when Sonja Blue will be making her return. In today’s radically changing publishing world, there is no longer any need for the author of a widely read series—one that won awards and has been reprinted in ten different languages—to simply accept the say-so of a publisher as to what is commercially viable and worthy of production.

   

Incentives offered to potential supporters range from DRM-free ebook editions and T-shirts to the distinction of being killed (in print, that is) by vampire slayer Sonja Blue. The Kickstarter page also provides fans a chance to read a never-before seenexcerpt from the unpublished KILL CITY,  as well as new music video showcasing the character of Sonja Blue that includes a wide array of artwork from both professional creators and fans.

SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK, the debut novel in the Sonja Blue series, won the Horror Writers Association’s Bram Stoker Award for First Novel, the British Fantasy Society’s Icarus Award, and the Dal Coger Memorial Hall of Fame Award, and was nominated for the James Tiptree Award and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award. It was also adapted into a comic book series by Glenn Danzig’s Verotik Publications.

As Kickstarter is all-or-nothing funding, the more people involved the better, so please spread 

news!

The Kill City Kickstarter Campaign runs from October 29^th to the 28^th of November.

Some Velvet Morning Now Available via Kindle & Nook

The Sonja Blue novella Some Velvet Morning is now available from Biting Dog Publications in ebook format from both Kindle and Nook for $3.99, with a new cover by Psycho Sako Studios.

Once upon a time there was an Contessa who kept herself eternally beautiful by bathing in the blood of those she butchered. For years and years she traveled around the world, luring innocent and sinner alike to their doom in order to feed her monstrous vanity, with no one to stop her. Then, one day, the Contessa met the dreaded vampire hunter, Sonja Blue, with her mirrored-eyes and dreadful silver switchblade. The Contessa survived their fateful first encounter, only to lose her legs. No longer able to hunt or kill on her own, she sought out a partner to help her draw her bath of blood. She finally found the perfect companion in Phaedra, a young runaway with a troubled past, who she schooled in the arts of seduction and murder, until she became the world's deadliest female serial killer. Together they have left a trail of death and destruction across the globe, always managing to be just a step or two ahead of their hated nemesis. But all fairy tales must have their end. And now that Sonja Blue knows where the Contessa is hiding, living happily ever after is not an option.

Pretender Vision!

From Sunglasses After Dark:

The creatures who call themselves Pretenders dwell in the cracks in mankind’s perception. To the untutored eye they are nothing to look at: beggars, cripples, prostitutes, and anonymous strangers. Their faces are unremarkable, their demeanor bland. They normally aren’t the types who like to draw attention to themselves. Although there are numerous subcategories, they all pretend to be human, hiding their demonic otherness behind a mask of carefully constructed banality. Only to those who truly know how to see do they stand revealed, their auras suffused with fearsome energy.

Kevin Weir's Flux Machine is dedicated to revealing the horrors that hide in plain sight, courtesy of spooky gifs created using old photographs from the Library of Congress.Sweet old grandmother or fiend from the Outer Dark? You be the judge.

A Dozen Black Roses Now Available As eBook

 The good folks at Biting Dog Publications approached me recently about making some of the Sonja Blue stories available in ebook format. So I used this as a chance to rewrite A Dozen Black Roses, the second most popular Sonja Blue novel, which was originally released as a crossover with White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade roleplaying game in the 1990s. I have removed all references to the Vampire: The Masquerade world and game-play and have extrensively re-written many passages, adding and deleting scenes.  This new, revised version is  now available to the reading public for the extremely reasonable price of $3.99.
