Lirium’s hopes for escape from Kolek’s mob are threatened when Valac seems to be coming unhinged.
Book 1 synopsis:
What's your life worth on the open market?
A debt collector can tell you precisely.
Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat, jackboots, and the black marks on his soul that every debt collector carries. He's just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja's sex workers keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane... until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted by a sex worker who isn't what she seems, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone--a dark pit he's not sure he'll be able to climb out of again.
The first three episodes of the Debt Collector serial are collectively the length of a short novel, or 152 pages. These are the first three of nine episodes in the first season of The Debt Collector serial. This dark and gritty future-noir is about a world where your life-worth is tabulated on the open market and going into debt risks a lot more than your credit rating. Episode 4, Broken, releases 4/17/13. For more about the Debt Collector serial, see DebtCollectorSeries.com

Susan Kaye Quinn grew up in California, where she wrote snippets of stories and passed them to her friends during class. Her teachers pretended not to notice and only confiscated her stories a couple times.Susan left writing behind to pursue a bunch of engineering degrees, but she was drawn back to writing by an irresistible urge to share her stories with her niece, her kids, and all the wonderful friends she’s met along the way.
She doesn’t have to sneak her notes anymore, which is too bad.
Susan writes from the Chicago suburbs with her three boys, two cats, and one husband. Which, it turns out, is exactly as a much as she can handle.

Thanks for hosting!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to this. Soon, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON, Lirium will realise how blind he's been and recognise how crappy that bird whose name I can't be bothered to mention is, and notice MEEEEEEEEEEEEE instead. :P
ReplyDeleteLOL! Wait til you hear the audio version I've been approving yesterday and today. You'll want to lock yourself in your room and just listen to Lirium talk to you all day. Er... that could be me. ;)
DeleteOH GOSH! Julie, you are obsessed! I want to hear the audio!!!!
DeleteAudio? No way! Will that only be available via Audible (or whatever it's called)?
DeleteBrooke, I have no idea what you mean. O_o
HA!!!!!!
DeleteAudiobook will be through ACX, which distributes to Audible, Amazon.com and iTunes. I'm hoping to have the first three eps up by the end of the month or early June - I'm almost done approving it today. You guys will not believe how amazing this narrator is! I'll see if I can get a promo sampler out a head of time...
DeleteOooo...sampler would be terrific!
