BLACKGUARD, BOOK 1: OUT here

More when I can blink. Too many to thank at once. Too tough a day to do anything but go face first in the keyboard, and bask in the black, black light.

Small press or no, advance or no, I have written this thing in the basements of Hell, under the aegis of the finest men and women who ever worked a door downtown. Seeing the cover is its own reward.The filling is even more startling.
