Cover Art Reveal & Book Giveaway for New Contemporary/Urban Fantasy Novel

Torrent, Book 1 of Rust & Relics -- Contemporary Urban Fantasy

Update: The giveaway contest is now closed. Winners are listed at the end of this post.

If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook, you know I’ve been busy at work on some new projects. A fourth Flash Gold novella is in the works, but I’ll have the first book in a contemporary urban fantasy series ready to go before then. In fact, I just got the cover art back from Glendon over at Streetlight Graphics, and I thought it’d be fun to share.

Even more fun to have a little contest and give away some ebooks. 🙂

It’ll be a couple of weeks before the novel is ready to publish, but if you’d like to win a free copy, all you have to do is leave a comment below and say you’re interested. Make sure to use an email address you check on occasion. I’ll select a few people at random and send mobi and epub files a couple of days before I upload the ebook to Amazon, Kobo, etc.

Here’s the blurb-in-progress:

When Delia chose to major in archaeology, she imagined herself as the female Indiana Jones of the Southwest. She didn’t imagine herself crawling through abandoned mine shafts, scrounging for rusty pickaxes and gold pans to sell on auction sites, but Indiana Jones didn’t have to make student loan payments every month.

 Scouring the mountains of Arizona with Simon, her best friend and computer geek extraordinaire, Delia dreams of turning their scavenging enterprise into a legitimate business. More, she longs to earn the respect of peers who shun her for turning into a treasure hunter—little more than a grave robber in an archaeologist’s eyes. What she doesn’t dream of is stumbling across a decapitated body in an old mine near Prescott.

But something supernatural and dangerous has come to the mountains, and a pair of Harley-riding strangers are the only ones who seem to have a clue. They speak a language Delia has never heard and carry mysterious artifacts she’s never seen. Investigating these strangers might lead her to discoveries that change the face of her field forever… or it might lead her and her best friend into a deadly monster’s lair.

If you want to enter to win a free copy, just leave a comment below. Thanks!

Update: Thank you, all, for entering. I picked more than 50 winners since there was so much interest. I’m uploading the ebook to Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Smashwords, etc. this weekend, so look for it soon!
