BLURB:

 

Corporal Jack Graven should be dead. Murdered by a vengeful angel at his own father's funeral, Jack is resurrected and returns to life carrying a terrible secret: he is the Archangel Gabriel reincarnated.

 

Jack's not the only one with secrets. His older brother, Lieutenant Colonel Tyler Graven "Demon of Kyoto", has just inherited his father's fortune and legacy as Lord of War, with no intention of stopping there: Tyler will someday rule the world.

 

The brothers reunite their elite military unit, “The Four Horsemen,” with Tyler’s longtime flame Colonel Diana Levitas and the mysterious Lance Corporal Jin Xialong. Together they seek to uncover the truth of Jack’s past life and propel Tyler to his impossible destiny.

 

Thrust into a supernatural war, the Gravens find salvation through the Black Muramasa, a cursed black katana and the only weapon that can destroy immortals. As they uncover more mysteries behind the ancient blade, they come face to face with the Devil himself, but in the most familiar of faces. Their pasts, presents, and futures all linked, the Four Horsemen must end the war once and for all to survive with their souls intact. Failing could mean the end of the world.

 

A follow up to the explosive first book in the Ballad of Fallen Angels series, “Sympathy for the Devil,” Book 2 is an action-packed, gun-slinging adventure that packs the punch of a military thriller with high-stakes supernatural intrigue.

Excerpt One:

 

Her body reclined before me in the soft satin sheets as a pale canvas draped against blood-red curtains. The early morning rays of light warned me that our time together would soon finish, this thought leaving a sadness in me stronger than the sadness of being with her. This sadness rose and fell like her bosom with each breath taken, eating away at my lustful desire to touch her. Instead, I gazed at her slumbering form, wondering if our time together was simply another adventure or if she harbored true feelings for me. Perhaps it was simply revenge for the lies she had been told. Another breath, another desire, then sadness. Then again.

 

Shame.

 

The word echoed repeatedly through my mind.

 

Seconds morphed into minutes, minutes into hours. I stared cautiously at the beauty of her backside, and her lean body inhaling and exhaling. My own breathing harbored a more physical pain than the betrayal I had wrought, the bullet wounds and cracked ribs popping painfully with every exhale. My pain soon blended into a chaos of emotion that swirled within me, a lustful desire for her competing against the shame of betrayal the act brought.

 

How can I look Tyler in the eye after this?

 

Perhaps the betrayal came from Tyler himself.

 

Did he know it was a trap?

Author INTERVIEW

Can you describe your dream home?

It’s definitely located on a beach. I like the idea of lots of large windows with a ceiling that opens so you can see the stars. I really would like a large kitchen where multiple people can do their thing simultaneously. Multiple bathrooms, at least 3 full bathrooms. A nice heated pool out back. Everything else is extra.

 

If we were to come to your house for a meal, what would you give us to eat?

My specialty is chicken alfredo… I’m not the best cook, but if my fiancee makes it, you’re in for a treat.

 

Tell us about the absolute BEST fan letter you have received.

As long as facebook messages count, I believe his exact words were “You really do have talent and one hell of an imagination.”

 

Say your publisher has offered to fly you anywhere in the world to do research on an upcoming book, where would you most likely want to go?

Without giving too much away, to do research for the next book, Russia. To enjoy myself, Thailand’s next on my list.

 

Who designed the book cover for the book you are touring?
