Dust to Blood

Dust to BloodIt’s a simple formula: Magical power equals political power…

Sparks are flying between researcher Anne Crosby and no less than nine men–but it’s not what you think. Whenever these nine amnesiacs touch anyone, electrical mayhem results. More surprising: all of them have dust instead of blood in their veins, even though they’re quite alive. It’s Anne’s job to track down who and what these men are, even though she takes a dim view of the supernatural.

Her research takes Anne to Russia and the discovery of the devastating magical source behind the former Soviet Union’s power–a source the resurrected KGB wants back. Anne must stop them, and they’ll do anything to stop her.

Now available as an eBook on Amazon, iTunes, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble,  Kobobooks, Page Foundry, Scribd, and Tolino.
