    Most would think he is a crack, others a scam. Very few would think he was serious. Also, some of his clients would not be happy with some of the answers they would get.

      I beg to differ John, I think today there would be scores of people who would love to try the services of Demon LLC!!

    This does come up, in fact. 🙂 Part of the novel is how difficult going into business for himself is.

    I’m definitely looking forward to this new chapter in Alex’s life. I realize he will have hardships in his new career; it can’t be all sunshine and rainbows.

      I agree , I love every book in the Damned & Kursed series I can’t wait for Demon LLC (I read the excerpt provided an it was a killer so far bring it on!!); for that matter, as well as that soon to be new one on Victoria after!! Here’s a question too might there be a book dedicated to Wolfie-Marie as well??

    I’m unable to read more than three pages. I keep getting an advertisement for the Kindle Fire app that won’t go away when viewing on my phone. I’ll try on my laptop later.

    I’m buying whatever you write!! However I could only read a couple pages then advertisement. 🙁 Just like a hot chick. Always teasing.

    Hmm, I’ll test on a mobile device later. I always use Scribd for my samples, but I have had issues with them lately. On my computer, it works fine. If they are pushing ads to mobile devices, I’ll come up with something else.

    Observations:
    I realize that you’re beginning with a back-story for those who come into the book cold, but the first paragraph wasn’t much of a “hook” — perhaps a stronger initial paragraph, with your current opening as a 2nd paragraph, or beginning with the “Recalculating”, shifting the back-story down a bit. Also, a bit too “Young Adult”, given that you’ve already developed Alex’s character.

    (You) tend towards a first person POV narrative for detail and description — the story didn’t “feel” like Alex until the telephone conversation with Cindy. I see that Alex has kept his shyness & innocence, along with his fear of exposure while attempting to maintain normalcy (re. His attempt to leave when the other “ghost hunters” show up).

    As you mentioned, this is still “rough”, but I did notice things like the following sentence, from when Alex arrives at the scene & observes the neighborhood:
    “People drove past, parking in their driveways, getting the mail, waving at neighbors.”
    If you want a “current scene”, change the drove to driving. If a general “mood” of the neighborhood, then “parked, got, and waved”…

    In general, a very good beginning — halfway through what I assume was the first chapter, I was into the story, and by the end was looking for more. You seem to have recaptured the “Alex” that we know from previous books, though it’s too early in (this) story to determine if he’s grown and “hardened” from his experiences…

      Those first few paragraphs are always the toughest. 🙂 Thanks for checking it out.

      Oh, what do you mean by “Young Adult”? I”m trying to “skip” around that as much as possible, but I realize that in writing about twenty-year-olds, that won’t always be easy.

        Sorry for the delay in my reply…
        The “YA” I referred to was the language used for the back-story overview within the first several paragraphs, which has the “feel” of a story meant for a more youthful audience…

        I tend to avoid interfering with a writer’s creative style (he says, as he continues!). If I were writing, I’d begin with the “recalculating” to draw a reader immediately into the story, and insert the back-story before the “He turned into the parking lot” paragraph, using Alex’s self deprecating ironic humor. Something like “‘then fate hit me squarely in the back in the form of bat wings, fortunately without the ears, though sonar would have been helpful at times…”.

          I like your ideas for moving things around. In fact, I usually try to consciously begin a novel with dialog. I feel I’m better at dialog than straight narrative.

          • larry
            December 4, 2014 @ 4:59 pm

            A broad topic. I’d agree that dialog is one of your strengths, but what type of dialog?
            Take the opening chapter of “Witch’s Kurse”, which I thought well done. Though primarily from Nathan’s POV, you “slip perspective” between “Nathan” and “Jane” to describe the scene An “internal narrative”, if you will, distinctly separate from an “internal dialog” which can be used to develop character depth, or “communicative dialog” which moves the scene along.
            Pure narrative, i.e. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” — better at setting the broad stage for major changes in location or time.

            An occasional ramble into another medium is useful. If you were writing as a stage play (or script), your “tools” would be much more distinct — physical scenery, backstage narration, conversational dialog to move the scene along, and solo scenes for internal dialog/turmoil.

    My poor brain is far too impatient for cliffhangers. I’m looking forward to the completed work.

    It worked fine on a Mobil for me with scribd. I have to say the intro felt a bit awkward, rushed even. You hit your stride after page 3 though and were back to awesome by the end. Sounds like another great story. Alex is a great character even has his own personal supporting cast, nailed a home run on that one, and a good next story in your series. My only advice is to mix in the first few paragraphs of info a little more. It almost didn’t sound like you because of the cadence. You did a slick job putting Kevin in and his kitchen issues, and the demonic growl statement could be a good place for some relocation. Good luck, I’ll certainly be buying and reading day one. Keep up the awesome work, you are keeping a crowded genre fresh with original stories.

      Hmm. I’ll have to figure out a way to spread the beginning info out a bit more, take away the rushed feeling.

    If Alex is in it, I’ll read it! Can’t wait for the full version.

      December 29, 2014 @ 11:08 am

      Yeah, this is pretty much all Alex. There are a few appearances from the others, but this is definitely an Alex novel. There are a few new characters that may or may not appear again. 🙂

    God dang it Glenn you and your amazing books with your side appearances from the other characters and your constant need to add new ones which we will fall in love with and your freaking cliff hangers. But in all seriousness love this short sample can’t wait to read this but as a tradition I have I am going to reread a all your other books related to this series.

    I do have a question… Will you ever bring Mason back from MindSlide? That was a great book to read.

    Okay…I know I just wrote a comment. But that was just before I read your first chapter, and it ws like a dash of ice water to the face when I got to the end and there was no more. I thought to myself : Oh. No. He. Didn’t !

    You’re a sore disappointment to an elderly gent, Glen me boyo. Cuttin’ a man off mid stream like that…(sigh)…But it seems as if I was right in my first post. This is gonna be a REAL good’un. Can’t wait.

    So then, when can I expect to see it?

      Over halfway done editing now (editing is SO much faster). Maybe another week before that’s done?

      Interesting things happen during editing. I found I’ve used some exact identical phrases from previous chapters, but you don’t really notice during the spaced out writing process. When you read back, it all comes together, and I’m like “Oh, I’ve already written this.” So then I have to change things somewhat. 🙂

      Hopefully this novel is well received. It’s not a “grand threat” novel. Alex isn’t fighting off evil forces trying to take over the world (that will come later I’m sure). He’s simply trying to start a business and work what “should” be a simple case. The cool thing I like about these characters is that they can carry many scenes without having to have world-ending action. It’s fun, for me at least, just to write a conversation between a vampire and a witch at a party.

    I bought the book just after midnight and just finished. I gotta say I loved it, and couldn’t put it down. The web site was a nice touch, I laughed when I saw Jack trolling Alex and managing a dig at Kevin to.
