It's finally here! Akeldama is now available on all platforms(or will be by this weekend...Nook and Apple iBooks are still awaiting final validation by those sites). It has been a little more arduous than I thought it would be setting up, but my debut novel is finally on sale. As a reminder on the plot...
This may be my first novel, but it certainly won't be the last I publish. My plan is to bring out a new novel every six months for at least the first three years, and I'll be deciding on a release date for Salvation Day by the end of June. Wrongful Death will follow, and then we'll see where the publication schedule goes from there.
If you buy a copy of Akeldama, I ask only one favor - please do a review of it on your favorite reader's site, be that Amazon, Goodreads, or whatever you enjoy. No, I'm not asking for a specific star rating or write-up, just an honest review. For one, I want to know what people think. Second, honestly, more reviews means more exposure which means more potential sales, so anybody that could help out with a review would be greatly appreciated.
If you're interested, you can buy the paperback on Amazon here, or the ebook for Kindle here. And you can get it on Smashwords here. I'll add links for Apple iBooks and Nook as soon as they become active in the next couple of days.
Seth Gendrickson has worked for the
Catholic Church's Order of Mount Sion since his initial encounter with a
vampire during seminary years ago. Finally working his way up to the rank
of Hunter, Seth's first assignment is to investigate a spike in vampire
activity in Kansas, an area previously quiet. The region between the
Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River had been a kind of neutral zone for
the two main factions - The Assembly of Cairo and Los Muertos. The
Assembly hails from Europe, and although few in numbers, is the older of the
sects and far more powerful. Los Muertos saw opportunity in the New
World, so they established themselves in the Americas and began to
multiply. They are young, aggressive, and passionate.
And they're moving east.
Seth is under orders to figure out what's going on before an all out vampire civil war brings knowledge of such supernatural creatures into the open and causes societal panic, a situation the Church is keen to avoid. During his mission, Seth captures one of the enemy and interrogates it, but he soon finds that the movement east is less an invasion than it is an influx of refugees fleeing a greater threat. Something is hunting the vampires out west, something more terrifying than the risk of conflict. Seth tracks this threat from California to Japan and across Europe to discover the heart of a conspiracy that stretches back 2,000 years and threatens the future of the world.
