Gah! I did it again. Once again, I forgot to post the description of the book along with the cover art — you know, what the book is actually about. Sigh. Anyway, here’s the back cover copy for Venom to go along with the preliminary cover art.

Warning: There are a few mild spoilers below for folks who haven’t read Spider’s Bite. You’ve been warned, so here goes:

It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most. To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker—Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists. At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

Yep, that’s right. Gin’s long-lost baby sister Bria finally shows up in Venom. Huzzah! Much family drama ensues, along with the usual bouts of mayhem, mischief, and violence. 😉
