Cabello #2
Cabello: Petrika
"A horrifically twisted, fantastically campy tale of animalistic impulses."
------------------
Some boughs are better off broken.
Petrika Thibodeaux led an ordinary life.
From orphan and cartel associate, Petrika had made it all the way to small town girl and struggling waitress - her rich & powerful benefactor her first-class ticket to making all of her shiny, red-bottomed American dreams come true.
All Petrika had to do now was keep up the ruse - to not black out and awaken with no recollection of what she had done, where she had been or why there was blood on her hands.
When suddenly a darkly compelling stranger with white hair and two different colored eyes appears out of nowhere, Petrika finds herself inextricably drawn into a deadly game of temptation and damnation.
Now, her womb filled with the unholy seed of her and the stranger’s illicit union, will Petrika survive long enough to hold her baby in her arms or will she be consumed by it instead?

About the author
Grea Alexander
43 books444 followersGrea (pronounced Gray) Alexander is a female writer of African American, Native American and Caucasian...American descent who does not write her profiles in the 3rd person.
Born and raised in Houston, TX, I have successfully wormed my way across many a border and have, in effect, managed to infect all that I survey with my particular brand of grea-ness. My books are very character-driven with a focus on flawed, dynamic, culturally-diverse characters and strong, smart female protagonists.

Also, please note: I do not write children's books. My books are for adults. My books contain adult themes, adult situations, sexual situations, cursing, intoxication and violence. Some books have more than others. Some characters engage more than others. If you find such offensive, you might not want to read my work. Then again, you just might feel naughty and want to read them anyway. (wink)

Q: How do you pronounce Grea?
Like the color gray. Or as an admirer once pointed out, like great without the t. (grin)
Q: Why the name SeaMonkey Ink?
Why not? (grin) What's not to love? I mean it's Ink squirting out of a Seamonkey. I mean sure no one has ever witnessed such a phenomenon, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. (laugh)
Seriously, when I was in school (high school and beyond) I used to play pranks under various code names - one of which was Seamonkey. I also have always enjoyed writing and back when I started to do so, I used to write everything by hand (which requires either lead or Ink) even long after I got my first word processor and computer. After I finally started typing directly, it still took ink to print.
Hence SeaMonkey Ink.
Q: Have you ever actually owned Seamonkeys?
Actually, I have and I'm pretty well convinced that there is a wanted poster with my name and likeness up somewhere in the SIA (Seamonkey Intelligence Agency) headquarters for mass genocide. (laugh) I try but I fail.
Q: Are any of your characters based on people you know/knew in real life?
Not really. Most are composites. However, I will say that more than a little of my own personality/thoughts/expressions pop up in my stories and among my characters.
For instance, in Rebellion Book I: Book of Quay, Phong Quay makes a statement that one day he is changing his name and not telling anyone what he changed it to. I've said that to people since I was like 5 - particularly when I get agitated at being disturbed.
So, if any real life person is used as a template for some of my dialogue and character behaviors it would be myself.

Es fin! (And on pre-sale right now with a 5/15 release date.)
I must say that I'm really happy with the way this volume came out.
In Volume 2 of the Cabello series, we solve the mystery of Petrika and Mineau in typical Grea fashion: Why do they look so much alike? How are they connected to each other? What's Cabello got to do with it?
We also get to see more of the wicked b*tch of the South herself, Acadea (who some of you may have met in Miael: Lovers) and are treated to more of Cabello's strange, feline charms (which also feature in the Miael series in both Friends and Lovers).
Last but not least, we find out what was REALLY going on in that smokey kitchen and we finally get to meat, er, meet just whatever the hell it was Cabello stuck inside of Petrika before his untimely...demise?
It's creepy. It's gory. It's campy and it was tons of fun to write.
Enjoy!

Aieee, this instalment is grisly, gory and gruesome. Steel your tum tums because this is the real and raw versions of Cabello and Petrika.
