Arrived! Blood and Fire is now a real book.

This seemed worthy of a new blog posting! The third and final book in my Mordecai Crow Trilogy, Blood and Fire, has just arrived on my doorstep in time for its launch this Saturday, June 14, 1-3 p.m. at Take Cover Books in Peterborough. It is the culmination of over a decade's work and is a pretty exciting moment for me.

Bill Slavin and 1 other person liked Ted's review of Quid Pro Crow (Mordecai Crow trilogy #2): "Liked this book; easily as good as "Jarrow".
