The Sweeter the Juice tackles that time honored question: what the hell is a drug-addicted pre-op transsexual gonna do during a zombie apocalypse. Hormones are on short supply and surgeons are even fewer and further between. If you like a little, or a lot, of horror in your urban fantasy, this is the story for you. The carny element in this one takes a Mardi Gras approach, floats, dancing, dead bodies. The usual.

AND...there are tons of other authors who've contributed slices of their brains to , too! Including a group of folks I'll be hanging out with this week in Texas! If you're going to be in Dallas, Houston or Austin in the coming week, plan on checking out the following events!

DALLAS  Thursday * July 25th * 5 & 7 PM

Two events for you Dallas folks! First up: the ladies of Fresh Fiction are hosting a dinner with myself, Nicole Peeler and Jaye Wells with our special guest Liliana Hart (author of ) at Maggiano's Little Italy at 5 PM. As I'm not flying in until 2 PM, I'll have to entertain revelers with my Just-In-Town Sitz Bath.

Immediately following dinner, at 7 PM the four of us will head over to the Lincoln Park Barnes & Noble for the main event, readings, signings and an illegal amount of snark will be proffered for your sick amusement.

HOUSTON  Saturday * July 27th * 4:30 PM

Johnniecakes (alias) over at Murder by the Book was the one who got the train for this tour rolling in the first place by inviting all the authors in down for a ginormous release event. And lots of us bit. Houston is going to be full of degenerates on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 PM until we finish tattooing everybody--don't worry, we're amateurs so you'll be able to lie to your friends about "that one time in prison." Authors in attendance: Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne, Mark Henry, Nicole Peeler, Jaye Wells and moderating our heathen antics, Liliana Hart.

AUSTIN  Monday * July 29th * 7 PM

Last but not least, the original foursome will be dropping into the Book People for a full blown snarkfest. We'll have plenty of road stories back then so it's sure to be a good time for us, possibly the audience, too, it's hard to say. Feel free to pray for us in the aisles, we may need it. The show starts at 7 PM and ends when we've offended the last person!

Please note: If you're coming to see me as Daniel Marks, I'll be happy to sign copies of Velveteen, but be aware, these are not kid-friendly events. There may be smut-readings, foul language and plenty of things that might end us up in jail, soooo...there's that.

So don't forget to pick up your copy, download or listen of ! The link will take you to the Simon and Schuster site so you can order from wherever your conscience allows!

It’s that time again! So begins the YAmazing Race with MGnificent Prizes, a massive blog hop featuring over 50 debut authors, and prize packs that include books, gift certificates, swag, and more! If you haven’t yet been to the Apocalypsies website, please click to start from the beginning and read the complete rules.

Now on to the race!

***
"Dark, demented, and edgy, with just the right amount of humor and romance mixed in, Daniel Marks has written the afterlife like you've never seen it before."-Richelle Mead, New York Times Bestselling Author of VAMPIRE ACADEMY
Dead at 16. Kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. Bound to an ashen purgatory. Velveteen Monroe has a job to do and a revolution to quash, which doesn't leave much time to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. But she'll make time.

All work and no play makes Velveteen a dull girl.
Unfortunately, her haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory, jeopardizing her very soul and that of an unreasonably hot and off-limits co-worker and, worse, may actually be aiding the Departurists in their nefarious revolution. Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules...or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.

"Squicktastic! VELVETEEN has it all: a ghost hell-bent on revenge, a wickedly hot dead boy and an underworld revolution - I couldn't get enough!"- Kimberly Derting, Author of THE BODY FINDER series
To order a copy of VELVETEEN now, for the deets!
****Got it? Good. 

There'll be a quiz at the end of the race (or four quizzes, as the case may be), so keep notes...or whatever. Because the prizes are, like Jem and the Holograms, Truly Outrageous. Pro-tip: you can always jump back here to find the answer, we're not mean...just evil.

But wait...

...there's more! In addition to the copy of Velveteen and swag you can win as part of the YAmazing Race, I'm doing something...Terrible. I'm going to vandalize a copy of Velveteen especially for one winner of my own private contest. Vandalism, you ask? Isn't that bad? (you may have read it is, but not on my walls)

 It could be anything, but I'll tell you I'm not above graffiti, stabbing, etc. It'll be amazing, certainly. Readable? I can't guarantee it. You'll just have to see for yourself. The contest is open INTERNATIONALLY. Because I'm crazy like that. Also...soon to be broke--why is it so expensive???

So enter below (there are lots of ways!) and then click on to the next author on the blog hop!

NOW!

It's time for you to move along to the next author in the race! I've got pumpkins to smash!

Next up: Nobody, since the race is OVER!!!
