The Editor
Lincoln Larkin’s most recent novels are so awful that they’ve pushed him to the brink of self-destruction. Now, those same stories are literally trying to kill him and everyone he gets close to. His novel Vriends is anything but a masterpiece and didn’t land him on any bestseller lists, but the characters from this spoof—a quirky group of vampires who crave caffeinated blood—are coming to life and draining innocent people all over the city. Lincoln can only think of one solution. He wrote himself into this mess, so he’ll write himself out of it. He creates Eddie—a bourbon-fueled antihero— and tasks him with stopping the vampires before it’s too late. It seems like a sure-thing: drink bourbon, kill vampires, repeat. But, of course, it’s never that easy. Eddie and Lincoln will have to put their trust in each other and join forces with the enemy. Mix in a little faith and they might just get out alive. THE EDITOR is a spoof comedy thriller mashup with a dash of nostalgia. You’ll laugh, cry, and be left wondering what Lincoln and Eddie will get themselves into next.

Zany& Clever
Every writer has work they're not proud of. In The Editor, author Lincoln Larkin is happy to forget his most embarrassing efforts-- until the stories begin spilling off the pages into the real world. And wreaking havoc. It seems the only way out of this situation is to...(re)write his wrongs (yeah, i went there). Now people he cares about are depending on him, which given his religion of drinking and bad choices, hasn't happened in some time. Redemption awaits our antihero in the opportunity to confront the mistakes in his work and his life.
A unique twist on a familiar tale, The Editor is zany, funny, and clever. This fast-paced, multigenre was full of surprises and hard to put down. Carroll excels at action scenes, and handles a huge cast of characters like the great Stephen King.

Such an entertaining read that has a little bit of everything: angels, vampires, ghost pirates, love, violence, and lots of bourbon. I can't wait to see what adventures Eddie and Lincoln encounter next. A brilliant book full of adventures.
