Or should I say “rewolfed” since this story is about a werewolf. [*crickets chirping*] Uh, anyway, back in October of last year, I released this free companion to The Cat in the Cradle, and never heard much back. I believe the most positive review came from my best friend, who described Flesh and Blood as being too short, disjointed and totally confusing. Yeah, well, somebody had to tell me. My friend was right, so it was back to the drawing board. Now Flesh and Blood is over three times its previous length, and explores Nikolai’s story in much greater detail. Not only do we discover his origins, but we learn how he became the prisoner of the Purple Oligarch, and what happens to him after the events of The Cat in the Cradle. Flesh and Blood always felt like the black sheep of the family, but now, thanks to some honest feedback, I’m can proudly pat it on the back and say, “Yup! That’s my boy!”

Flesh and Blood is part of the Loka Legends series, and fits best between The Cat in the Cradle, and From Darkness to Darkness as an intermission between books. It’s bundled together with Finding Fire, plus a collection of sketches and concept art related to the series. All of these can be downloaded from the following retailers: Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, iTunes/iBooks, and all other formats.
