Death Goes To Bat

 A Death in Toledo is my latest release and a return to the world of Grim Reapers introduced in Death Gets a Book. 

A Death in Toledo is the story of a Grim Reaper, tasked to return the soul of Lawrence Nurdle. Lawrence is a dork who fancies himself a goth edge lord who, tries to win the favor of his ex-girlfriend, only to get himself killed by a coven of vampires. 

Its a simple enough task for Death until the leader of the vampire coven, Drokk, transforms Lawrence with the blood ritual. Lawrence is no longer dead, he's undead and that creates a problematic loophole for Death. Death can only escort dead souls to the River Styx and on to the Hereafter. 

Now, Death must convince Lawrence to kill himself so he can be brought to the end of his mortal journey. Drokk is not willing to give up Lawrence so easily, he's got plans for him as well. And it just may have to be settled over a game of the great American pastime, a baseball game.

Supernatural beings square off again competing for another lost soul in the all-new Death book, A Death in Toledo. 

This book is a stand alone set in the world of Grim Reapers I've created. You can enjoy reading it without having read Death Gets a Book. Or, if you've already enjoyed Death Gets a Book this a fun new story featuring a different cast of Grim Reapers set in the same world.

A Death in Toledo is available now in Paperback and Kindle eBook and is available to subscribers of Kindle Unlimited. It is just 99 cents for the Kindle version until Jan. 24th, 2021.

A few weeks back, while watching the Twitter feed scroll along on my screen, I came across a tweet from a book reviewer who was looking for authors to interview for a new segment he wanted to try on his YouTube channel. Knowing that authors are a big bunch of media whores (myself included) I figured he'd already fielded a million eager volunteers but as it turned out, I was the first one.

The book reviewer, Ben Walker, maintains a YouTube channel called BLURB where he does, amongst other segments, very entertaining bizarro book reviews. His new idea was to interview authors with an interesting slant. He is going to ask them questions that have little if anything to do with writing. My questions were from entrance applications for Oxford University.

I had a lot of fun answering the irreverent questions and the final product came out great. The segment is called What The Book? and I am the first victim/guest. I look forward to more of these fun segments with other writers.
I'll share it with you here:

And as a bonus, Ben Walker read SCATTERBRAIN just before he interviewed me for What The Book? to get an idea of what my writing was about. He wound up doing one of his signature bizarre book reviews as a surprise bonus to doing the interview segment.
