The Music of Chaos, Read Chapter One

Oops. I forgot to mention that Chapter One of The Music of Chaos is now available online. Free.

In related news, yep, I am working on the sequel. I'm about more than 2/3 of the way done. It's clocking in at about 90K words, but with revision, I should get it back down into the 80K range. This storyline is very Talis-centric, although, yep, Jason is back, as is Breas Montrose, the beer-drinking, sports-obsessed vampire. And Lex the, uh, lusty fairy.

In related news, The Canvas Thief, a paranormal romance set in the same "world" as The Music of Chaos, has been accepted by Carina Press. (This isn't the official announcement as I'm still reviewing the contract.) Breas is a character in The Canvas Thief. Here, he's in the odd role of mentor. Well, not so odd, as his "protege" is a thief.

Despite the presence of Breas, The Canvas Thief isn't a vampire paranormal romance. It's more like a retelling of Pygmalion. Like The Music of Chaos, it is set in New Mexico; this time, Santa Fe.

Anyhow, go check out Chapter One of The Music of Chaos. Please?
