When I say you’re a dead man, take that literally.

To me, killing people is like a day at the salon: cut and dry. Well, more like rinse and repeat when you moonlight as the assassin the Spider. But my last spa day ended redder than my freshly painted nails after a twisted Fire elemental and his goons kidnapped my close friend Sophia Deveraux and nearly killed her sister Jo-Jo in the process.

Up Ashland’s most dangerous mountains, and deep into the heart of its blackest woods — I’ll track these thugs no matter where they take Sophia. It doesn’t matter what kind of elemental magic they try to throw at me, my Ice and Stone powers can take the heat and then some. I will get Sophia back, over their dead bodies.

Because anybody that hurts Gin Blanco’s family becomes a body.

WHERE TO GET THE BOOK

If you go to your local bookstore, and they don’t have any print copies of Heart of Venom, you can always ask the store to order it for you. Plus, if they order it for you, you don’t have to keep going back to the store looking for it, or go from store to store searching for the book.

I mention this because not every bookstore carries my books (and no, I have no way of knowing and no control over who carries my books and who doesn’t). However, most stores will be happy to order the books for you.

Of course, you can always order the print books online too, through some of the sites that I have listed above.

KISS OF VENOM ALSO AVAILABLE

Kiss of Venom, the e-novella from Owen Grayson’s point of view, is also available.

The e-novella is #8.5 in my Elemental Assassin series. It takes place in between the events of Deadly Sting (book #8) and Heart of Venom (book #9).

You don’t necessarily have to read Kiss of Venom to enjoy Heart of Venom, but I’ve gotten so many requests for an Owen story, and this seemed like a good time and place in the series to write something from his point of view.

Kiss of Venom is about 19,000 words long. It is available for $1.99 as an e-book only — not in any print or audio formats. You can read a short excerpt here.

You can download the e-novella at online booksellers, including the following:

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

Books-A-Million

iTunes

Kobo

Here is the Kiss of Venom description. As always, please be mindful of spoilers:

The New York Times bestselling Elemental Assassin series continues with a new e-novella — from the hero’s point of view! Owen Grayson is bound and determined to get Gin back … if her enemies don’t get her first.
