The Brimstone Deception
by Lisa Shearin

Men in Black meets Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum
in the new urban fantasy novel starring seer Makenna Fraser
and her fellow agents at Supernatural Protection &
Investigation.

The agents of Supernatural Protection & Investigations (SPI)
know that fighting evil is a full-time job, especially when
a new designer drug—with mind-blowing side
effects—hits the streets...

It’s called Brimstone. And after the first few hits,
you’ll see every supernatural beast sharing the
sidewalk, train, or office with you. After that,
you’ll start seeing the really scary stuff.

I’m Makenna Fraser, seer for the SPI. And the
collateral damage caused by Brimstone is something I’d
like to unsee: dead drug dealers missing their
hearts—and souls. Because your local pusher
doesn’t stand a chance against the new cartel muscling
its way into New York. And since the drug can only be
produced with magic and molten brimstone fresh from Hell,
that means a rift to the underworld is open somewhere in the
city.

And when—not if—the cartel loses control of it,
well…

It’s going to be Hell on earth.

Lisa Shearin's Bio

Contrary to popular belief, most authors do have day jobs just like everyone else. I'm happily ensconced at an advertising agency as an editor/proofreader. In my previous corporate life I've been a magazine editor, advertising copywriter, and writer of corporate marketing materials of every description. Writing's what I love, so writing's what I do. And I consider myself blessed beyond belief that I get to do what I love and get paid to do it.

One thing many writers find is that they have little time for anything that doesn't involve writing (especially when there's a deadline looming). Not a problem really, since we spend most of our time attached to a laptop or a notebook & pen because we love it. But when I'm not at my desk, I like to read (when I can make the time) and sing in my church's choir and ensemble. And I've made some of my closest friends over crossed blades. My Olympic fencing weapons of choice are the foil and epée. Though nothing says fun like a good rapier & dagger duel. My husband and I have spent some great times with our fencing club buddies doing demos at museums, schools, movie premiers, the Biltmore House, and Renaissance faires.

I'm a member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, and the North Carolina Writers' Network. I live in North Carolina with my always patient and ever-encouraging husband, two cats, two spoiled-rotten retired racing greyhounds, and a Jack Russell terrier who rules us all.
