A little about Mal…

Since I’m giving away 3 copies of Mal-adaptive, I figured I’d talk a little about it.

What is Mal-adaptive? Mal-adaptive is a story about Malaika, a barista working in a big city just trying to make a living.  She lives in an apartment with her roommate, Aaya, an ultra conservative girl who just so happens to work at a shop that sells BDSM supplies. Her best friend (and coworker), Ven, is a free spirit…  likes to drink, likes to party, likes to have sex (and isn’t too particular who with). On the same day, an angel (Ephra) and a demon (Corson) show up at the Cruel Beans coffee shop in order to find Mal. They both have orders to follow her around. There’s also something about Armageddon, an evil corporation, and a Weapon that’s supposed to win the war for the side that has it. Add in a pinch of humor, and you’ve got Mal-adaptive in a nutshell.

Where did I come up with the idea? My girlfriend has fibromyalgia, which affects her muscles… especially in her neck and shoulders. Hearing her describe the pain as someone shoving knives into her shoulder blades is a bit… disconcerting to say the least. My brain seemed to jump on the idea of, ‘what if that’s NOT what’s causing her pain?’. instantly responding to the question, ‘she’s an angel who’s had her wings removed, and this is the residual pain she’s feeling’. Thus, the idea of Mal came to mind.

It’s that time of year again…

I’ve made another trip around the sun, and you guys are getting the gifts again. You may have noticed the Rafflecopter giveaway over there on the sidebar (and if not, you can always click here). I’m giving away 3 signed copies of Mal-adaptive to some lucky peeps. The giveaway will run until August 5.

If a giveaway isn’t your style, from August 2 to August 5, you’ll be able to download a copy of Mal-adaptive in eBook form for only $0.99 (or £0.99 if you’re over on the other side of the pond).

So, the perfect birthday gift you could give me would be to go out and grab a copy of Mal, sign up for the giveaway, and share with everybody you know. It would make this cranky old author so very happy.
