Caracal's Harvest
Is it weird that a writer is a man of few words? I have no idea, but in introducing my new revenge-thriller dark fantasy Caracal's Harvest (out March 15 2016), I think I'll just let my Amazon blurb do the talking:
Father Andro's world is crumbling. The aging, reclusive priest of a dying faith in which he no longer truly believes, his only friends are the bottles he's drowning himself in.
When a siren turns up at his church's door, battered and bloody, Andro is initially reluctant to lend her his assistance. Upon discovering the truth behind her condition - that she was the victim of a savage assault by a wealthy young merchant running a ruthless underground trade in non-human body parts - he vows to help her.
Andro is no schemer; he can barely make it from one day to the next. The merchant employs a small army. What use can Andro possibly be to a hate-fueled siren who has vowed bloody revenge upon the man who destroyed her life?
I'm pretty proud of this one. It's darker and bleaker than anything I've tried before, and despite being far from my longest work, I poured more time into writing it than any of my other books.
Please be aware that Caracal's Harvest is a "Mature Readers" only kind of story. If you like brutal revenge thrillers, and wonder what one might be like set in a fantasy world, please check it out!
