Linda Watanabe McFerrin has a new book coming out: Dead Love (deadlovebook.com). The power of WordPress is that I could just help with some basic set up and Linda was off to the races.

Ready for Dead Love? Here’s more:
DEAD LOVE is a supernatural thriller in the tradition of Mary Shelley, E.A. Poe, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Anne Rice. The novel follows a cast of nefarious characters, both human and otherworldly, as they foil and foul one another’s plans and power plays in a conspiracy of global proportions. It begins when Clément, a lovesick ghoul, falls head over heels for a beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, the girl is marked for death by the Japanese mob (the Yakuza). What’s a ghoul to do? He’s got to create a means to save her. Using secrets learned from a Haitian witchdoctor he finds a way to rescue and possess her, but not in the manner he’s expected. Set in Central America, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia and Southeast Asia, the novel jets readers all over the planet on a diabolical joyride that is destined to end darkly.
Linda McFerrin is a charming writer who in this book blends dark humor, whimsy, and erudition about the supernatural. Those who dare to peel open the cover (imagine the creaking door of a crypt) will soon find themselves on a wild ride…
