Binding Dante Lovelace (+ Official Blurb!)

The process of creating Binding Dante Lovelace has been fraught with peril and tragedy that would make Mr. Lovelace himself quite proud.

Since beginning the draft in early 2017, I have encountered multiple deaths in my family, various hardships in the lives of those close to me, a sudden (and very necessary) move due to unfortunate circumstances, and about a dozen other minor inconveniences that--when stacked up--are more than a little annoying.

But here we are.

It was a rough year, to say the least. It wasn't always easy to keep working, but at the same time, I was able to publish The Last Temptations of Iago Wick and Iago Wick and the Vampire Queen. I love the apartment I moved into in June. I've been given so many new opportunities, and I'm thankful for that. It was a horrible and a wonderful year all at once.

And I was able to pull a new book out of it.

And now, that book has a blurb! Soon, it will have a release date, too, so watch this space. But for now, I'm happy to present the official blurb for Binding Dante Lovelace.

Dante Lovelace is not accustomed to waking up in unfamiliar beds... and he’s even less accustomed to working with witches.

Imagine his displeasure when both happen consecutively.

After being spirited away—ie. kidnapped—Dante finds himself at the mercy of Miss Beatrice Dickens, a witch and spiritualist who has placed a binding spell upon him to strengthen her own powers. As demons must, Dante begrudgingly surrenders to his fate but soon discovers the witch needs him for protection. Zero Bancroft, an uncommonly dangerous man, wants to release an uncommonly dangerous beast in Beatrice’s keeping: a soul-eater. It’s up to Dante and Beatrice to stop him.

If that weren’t enough, Dante must also contend with his partner, Iago Wick, who longs to defect and abandon his Hellish duties—and he wants Dante to follow. What’s a demon to do?

With some new companions (and a certain inventor) on their side, Mr. Lovelace and Mr. Wick must contend with magic, hunters, automatons, and even uncomfortable family reunions. Can they protect the world from Bancroft’s mad scheme, or is the Apocalypse just around the bend?
