That’s right, the next Monster Hunter Nation BOOK BOMB will be on Wednesday, July 6th. (I will actually put the post up Tuesday night).

Our book this month is Awful Intent by Super Author John D. Brown. This is the sequel to Bad Penny, which I was an alpha reader for, and which I loved (I am also a character in it, which is pretty nifty). A tale of Organized Crime and Vigilante Justice is perfect summer reading. If you’ve not read the first one, that’s okay, and I’d encourage you to snag it on BB day instead.

So mark your calendars and tell your friends. As usual the goal is to give a worthy book a boost in the ratings so that more people will see it. Thanks! And Happy 4th of July!

I’ve talked about the Weaponized Hell a little bit before. It is a team up story where my Agent Franks teams up with Jonathan Maberry’s Captain Joe Ledger. And then lots of stuff gets murdered.

Weaponized Hell is available in the Urban Allies anthology. The idea behind Urban Allies is team ups between various characters with their own urban fantasy series. When Joe Nassie, the editor, first contacted me about this and was listing off other authors who had agreed to be in it, I stopped him at Maberry, and was like whoa… He got a partner yet? Then I immediately called Jonathan and said dude, bring Ledger? And he responded with sure, if you bring Franks.

Jonathan is a Franks fan, and has written a Franks story for the upcoming MHI anthology too (Franks vs. Nazis in WW2, though in a totally unexpected way). I think the Ledger DMS novels are fantastic reads. And I wrote a Rudy story for the upcoming Ledger anthology. (he does a psych eval that gets really weird).  Yeah, that professional writer thing where you keep seeing recognizable names in other authors’ various anthologies? It is because we are all big dorky fans at heart.

I haven’t gotten to read the other stories in this anthology yet, but considering the characters we brought together, I bet ours is the most violent. 🙂

Spotted by a reader. I’ve never seen the show myself. But MHV would be great prison library reading material.

According to fans on Facebook that’s season 4, episode 8, 27:20.

Pretty cool. 🙂

Check out this sci-fi eBook bundle. You will recognize most of the names.

This is a really good deal.
