Cold Blooded IV: Bloody Shadows - Coming Soon

I received a few e-mails all of a sudden, concerning Cold Blooded IV: Bloody Shadows. The readers thought it was coming out at the same time as Demon IV: Darkness Rules. The confusion was probably my fault for saying I was working on them at the same time. That part was true, but it was always my intention to finish Darkness Rules first. I answered the e-mails. Bloody Shadows is coming along very well, and so is the futuristic Nick and Jean bonus story. I have 78,000 words done in Bloody Shadows, and nearly 2,000 in the bonus Nick and Jean short story. Bloody Shadows will be released at the end of May as promised. Here’s a small part of what’s happening in Cold Blooded land.

Some of Nick’s team-up work with other agencies, and even his local policeman contact with the Pacific Grove force begins to unravel his low key quirky endeavors. Sergeant Dickerson makes the mistake of enlisting Nick’s take on a group of muggers preying on older tourists enjoying the rocky coastal scenes after dark. Unwittingly enlisting the aid of a killer instead of a knowledgeable novelist, Dickerson discovers his mugger problem ended overnight when the bodies of three gangbangers known for violent deeds are found strewn along the shoreline near their hunting grounds.

Nick’s collaboration agreement with the US Marshals also nearly ends in tragedy when they neglect to warn him about a traitor at Los Alamos he turned up for them blackmailing the Justice Department. Forces behind the scenes begin gathering to either recruit one of the most cold blooded killers in the land, or kill him and his family. They find out in terrifying terms when you go after the Terminator, you had better get him with the first strike. Because after you miss, he plays hard ball without mercy, and without hesitation.

Yep, Bloody Shadows will be finished in late May along with a very violent and funny bonus story, featuring Nick’s whole crew in the future. :)

Here's one of the covers Colin and I have worked on:

Demon IV: Darkness Rules on Kindle!

We released Demon IV: Darkness Rules on Kindle today. RJ Parker Publishing Inc will release it in Paperback next week. 

Here's another little blurb for Darkness Rules:

Thanks to another Haunt wound, Mike develops yet another power increase, enabling him to make Demon audible. The paranormal dog from another dimension wastes no time annoying everyone he comes into contact with. Teaming with the Haunt Mike changed forever, Mongo George, the duo turns Demon Inc inside out with hilarious results.

The Haunts, idle for weeks after the Demon Inc teens’ assault on their dimension before Halloween, formulate a new tactic. They enlist the aid of earthbound evil spirits to do their bidding in a desperate attempt to conquer the earth’s dimension, and flee the destruction of their own.

Once Mike and Demon discover the plot, it’s all hands on deck at Demon Inc. With the end of the Haunt dimension in their grasp, an amped up Mike Rawlins leads the team into the final confrontation, while dealing with a local gangbanger problem threatening his family.
