Blurb:

Big trouble. Her girlfriend, Cat, is dead, Alice just got out of the hospital, and everything is falling apart. The girls bought a bag of pills from a dealer and took them to Cat’s house to LARP their game, Underneath. The plan is to take one pill after another until the vampires come for them.

Problem is, the vampires didn’t come, the ambulance did.

As soon as she gets home, Alice runs away to attend Cat’s funeral and meets Leveret, Cat’s cousin, and that’s when she falls down the rabbit hole.

From shrinking and growing, from a monster in a hospital to a haunted toy store, from a nightclub filled with vampires to a Ren Faire with the most unnerving Mad Hatter and a game where ninja ballerinas beat people to death with sticks – Alice’s trip follows the heart of the Alice in Wonderland story, if not the letter.

On the way Alice has to make a number of decisions – is she sane? Is she dead? Is she willing to sacrifice everything for someone else or does she exercise self-preservation even if that means losing the girl she loves?

Blurb:

Marley is alive, and back with Toby and the rest of Zirkua Fantastic. But King Jester, the spirit of discord, still roams free, and his most fearsome creations, the Princes, have been loosed from their prisons. Now, human and immortal alike are disappearing, no sign of a body or a struggle to be found. More and more of them each day.

Now, it’s the duty of the last remnants of resistance to stand strong against the impossible, battle back the chaos before it ravages Earth. And all the while, a single question remains unanswered: can life ever return to normal after this?

Before the New Moon Rises
by Cathy Hird

Non-GLBT

When Poseidon's ambition is thwarted (as told in Moon of the Goddess), Princess Thalassai expects to enjoy the luxury of peace in the valley of Ephyra. Instead, the Earthshaker's revenge strikes like forked lightning. He recruits Aphoron, disgraced prince of Ephyra, to set off an attack on her home city. The god then releases a monster shark to shut down trade and lays a sleeping spell on the four kings who hold sway in the lands claimed by the ancient goddess Eurynome.

With the king under Poseidon's spell, Thalassai struggles to maintain order in the city. Her fiancé Brizo sets sail to defeat the monster shark, but in the first encounter, the shark destroys the ship's rudder and oars. Her brother Melanion chases after Aphoron and uncovers the prince's plan to attack their city. As other Olympian gods who are angry with Poseidon are drawn into the fray, conflict threatens to engulf the lands of Greece. Will it spread to the mountain of the gods? Will the young leaders find a way to defeat the Earthshaker's plans and restore peace?

Blurb:
Zirkua Fantastic has been running steadily since 1753, amazing its patrons with acts of otherworldly skill and prowess. But that talent comes at a steep price: each artist must give a year of his or her life to the circus. None of them know why, only that the circus' owners will go to whatever lengths are necessary to ensure it. Toby, the hoop dancer at Zirkua Fantastic and son of one of the owners, is content with his life: he enjoys performing and Zirkua's wandering life, and even has a boyfriend among the circus' hawkers. But when a new artist arrives, bringing with him a strange flask and a number of odd occurrences, Toby falls face-first into the truth behind the circus: Its contracts bind King Jester, the immortal embodiment of chaos.
Zirkua's performances and contracts have held King Jester prisoner for centuries, but now something's amiss. King Jester's sister, Dragon, has escaped her own bonds and is working to free her brother, and his power is growing. If he is loosed on the world, it will mean the worst war in human history and the end of civilization... unless Zirkua Fantastic can find a way to stop him.

Author Interview with Voss Foster

Enjoy our fun interview and a reading from Voss Foster. We chatted about his new release Tartaros in early with Prizm Books as well as life in general.

Tartaros by Voss Foster

A demon hunter, Daniel Tartaros is sworn to slay the denizens of Hell and, for over a decade, he has. He’s kept the world, and his girlfriend, safe. But, one night, the demons cross the threshold to his home. His girlfriend is taken, possessed by a powerful demon. Too powerful for him.

But the horror increases when he finds out the truth: it’s not just a demon. Lilith, the Queen of Hell, has bound herself into a human body to be with him. But broken free and without the restraint of a human life, she still needs him, and plans to use all of her power to keep him. She’ll do what it takes to keep him, even if it means the end of life. With Earth hanging by spider’s silk, the tiniest ripple from either Daniel or Lilith could send it swinging into the fires of destruction.

Introduction: Voss Foster

If you want to get to know someone, look at their bookshelf.

I've been saying that almost as long as I've been ogling bookshelves (Do you think I’m kidding? Invite me over for coffee some time. I’m looking at your bookshelf. Even if I have to wait for you to disappear to the bathroom.). So, since I’m new here, this is a sampling of what’s on my bookshelf:

The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem

The Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling

The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer

Misadventures in a Thumbnail Universe by Vincent W. Sakowski

The Changeling Race Trilogy by Frances Pauli

The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn

The Millennium Trilogy (I’m seeing a trend here) by Stieg Larsson

So that’s me in a nutshell. Oh. That’s not enough? Are you sure? Drat. All right, I’ll try it the traditional way. Under protest.

I’m Voss Foster, speculative fiction author, editor, grammarian, and amateur belly dancer. A lot of times, people try and get me to tell them why I write speculative fiction. Well, I've never had an answer. My brain is just hardwired to turn every little thing into nicotine-addicted fairies, giant space tarantulas, and demons.

In my upcoming release, Tartaros, through Prizm Books, those demons run a little wild. Well, more than a little. Apocalyptically wild. I thought it sounded like a pretty good romp, so I ran with them. And, early next year (I don’t want to say when exactly. I might jinx it.), I hope you’ll run with them. Just make sure you bring your holy water, in case they get a little bit too wild for your liking. It tends to scare most of them off.

As we get closer to the release date, there’s going to be more about it, mostly over at my blog, Demon Hunting and Tenth Dimensional Physics. Heck, I don’t even know what could be in store. Those demons can get a little bit restless, sometimes.

For now, if you’re dying for a taste of my writing (Don’t lie. I know you are.), I have a page of published works over at my blog. If I were you, I’d check it out. I heard it on the street that I’m pretty awesome. Can’t remember who said it. It might have been me.

For now, toodles and blessed be,

Voss
