Dead Man's Deal
In a world where elves, faeries, trolls, werewolves, and vampires swim
free in a sea of humanity, sometimes you need an edge. Looking for a
little love? Need some luck? Desperate for revenge? Gage can give you
what you need. The most talented tattoo artist in town, he knows the
right symbol and the right mix of ingredients and ink to achieve your
heart's desire. One tattoo is all it takes. But remember, everything has its price...
Gage learned that lesson long ago, in ways
he'd rather not remember. But the cruel and powerful wizards in the
dreaded Ivory Towers he escaped aren't about to let him forget. Though
Gage has managed to stay out of sight, he can't outrun the past forever.
The wizards know Gage is using forbidden magic, and they intend to punish him for his
transgressions. Too bad if innocent humans and monsters — entire
cities — get in the way. They will quell a nascent magical uprising and
Gage will be the sacrifice they need. First, though, they have to find
him...
Jocelynn Drake
The oldest of three kids, Jocelynn grew up and continues to reside in the Cincinnati, Ohio region. She started writing when she was 12, spending all of one summer re-writing the story of Robin Hood in the battered remains of a notebook. While life has brought many changes and surprises, the love of writing and a good story has been a constant. When not writing (which isn't too often), she can be found with her nose buried in a good book, wandering through the woods with her camera cradled protectively against her body, traveling to interesting locations, or relaxing with her family, who have also remained in the Cincinnati area.
