Excerpt

Roan was so bored he’d decided that Tanning Salon Pervert would be the perfect name for his biography. As he’d flipped through the TV channels last night, the information bar had been visible at the bottom of the screen, and as he surfed past one news magazine program, he saw their episode was titled “Tanning Salon Pervert.” He didn’t watch it—on general principle he refused to watch anything that called itself a news magazine—but the words intrigued him. They sounded wrong in a wonderfully obtuse way, like “peanut butter hut” or “purple elephant pedophile.” Now, he’d never been in a tanning salon, and whether he was a pervert or not was subjective and almost totally hinged on your personal interpretation of the Bible (if you even had one), but the phrase just stuck with him. He bet he’d sell thousands of copies to disappointed people actually wanting the sordid tale of a man who got off on watching women fry under UV lights or get sprayed with fake bake.

Instead, they’d get the mundane story of a gay ex-cop with anger management issues who could change into a lion at will.

Come to think of it, not that mundane. But nowhere near as interesting as a tanning salon pervert.

Bio

(I was framed, I tell you -- framed!) In her spare time, she arms lemurs in preparation for the upcoming war against the Mole Men. Viva la revolution! Author of the Infected series for Dreamspinner Press, and the Josh of the Damned series for Riptide Publishing.
