John Passarella
is another Hollywood writer, best "known" for his Buffy the Vampire and Angel books (even if most don't know who the writer is on a TV series), who has started publishing in the Kindle store. What those fans may not realize is that he is also a Stoker Award winning novelist (Wither
, currently out of print, but coming to Kindle in July, along with Wither's Rain
). He recently started releasing a free serialized version of his latest novel, Shimmer
, a techno-thriller, on his web site and the complete novel has just been released in the Kindle store ($4.99) and in other formats from his author store, for those that don't want to wait for the ending. He's already started removing the free downloads from his web site (he says they will disappear at the rate of about 9 chapters a week), but has a special offer where you can get the first 9 chapters emailed to you HERE ("if you email me at author[at]passarella[dot]com and mention [kindleboards.com], I will be happy to mail you the expired first 9 chapters for another week"), then you can download the rest of the first 48 chapters on his website HERE. Subscribe to his site or check back every week to get the lastest chapter (I suspect the final chapters will only be available free for a week or two). Of course, if that's too much trouble and you don't want to read the book all broken up into parts, you can be reading the Kindle version in about a minute.Book Description
Logan Walker has a gift: he senses supernatural trouble before it happens. But when his special talent predicts hell on earth, he knows his gift has become a nightmare for him and his unusual family. Possessing various paranormal abilities, the Walkers have, through generations spanning thousands of years, protected the human race from supernatural predators. These creatures enter our world through dimensional rifts and must be defeated or returned to their world before wreaking havoc in our own. But the Walkers have suffered a long war of attrition and their numbers have dwindled. They are at their weakest when our world faces its greatest threat. And time is running out.
