So, I’ve been getting a lot of email lately regarding when the Lawson Vampire books will be re-released. The simple answer is: I’m not yet sure. We’re looking for a new house, and these things take time. Some of you have expressed a strong desire (”blood lust” might be a better term) for wanting to read all the Lawson books RIGHT NOW. Well, I have heard your pleas, and I respond. Announcing – and ONLY for a VERY limited time – your chance to read everything Lawson Vampire that I’ve written – TO DATE (meaning there’s still a lot more to come) in a very special ebook compilation, THE FIXER FILES. This is NOT going to be available anywhere, except through me directly. This very special compilation includes: THE FIXER (orig. pub'd 2002) THE INVOKER (orig. pub'd 2002) THE DESTRUCTOR (orig. pub'd 2003) THE SYNDICATE (orig. pub'd 2003) THE COURIER (novella) (orig. pub'd 2004) THE KENSEI (not yet published!) RED TIDE (short story) (orig. pub'd 2008) THE PRICE OF A GOOD DRINK (short story) (orig. pub'd 2004) All for just $9.99. The ONLY way to get this package is to pre-order NOW, direct through me, by clicking HERE! Only two formats will be made available: .pdf and .mobi (for Amazon Kindle readers) – be sure to specify when you place your order. This offer vanishes very soon. I don’t want to sell a ton of these because the books will be coming back out from a new publisher sooner than later. But for those who have been clamoring for all of this, this is your chance to get it and enjoy the coolest vampire around, my man Lawson. 5 novels, a novella, and 2 short stories. All at a fairly incredible price. Thanks, Jon |

Jon, for the benefit of those of us who've never heard of this series, can you tell us a bit more about it?

Sure thing, CS! Called "James Bond with fangs," the Lawson Vampire novels tell the story of Lawson, a cynical, jaded part cop/spy/commando divinely chosen from birth to help protect the Balance - the line separating humanity and the race of living vampires that has evolved in secret alongside humans over thousands of years. Called upon to protect his race by rooting out rogues, criminals, terrorists, and ne'er-do-wells, Lawson dispenses justice with extreme prejudice, sarcasm by the bowlful, and bullets by the pound. Lawson's area of operations (AO) is Boston and New England, but his previous missions have taken him all over the world. What makes Lawson so unique and utterly cool? Unlike every other vampire story, the vampires in Lawson's world are *not* undead. They're members of a separately evolving race that has existed in secret for thousands of years. They have their own society carefully intermingled with humans who, for the most part, have no idea they exist. The books are a thrilling mix of Crime, Espionage, and Magic - and it's being turned into a TV series as well (you can check out details of that by going to http://www.thefixer.tv ) Thanks! Jon |

One can never be too well-read.

Sounds interesting enough, but I have a particular taste in writing. Think you could offer a sample for those of us not ready to take a ten dollar plunge?

“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. 40% percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.” - S. Jobs

Thanks Brian & Steph! Very much appreciated!
The pre-order window closes tomorrow night at midnight EST - no more orders will be taken after that time, so if you haven't gotten in on this yet, I urge you to do so today!
Thanks!
Jon, now I'm paranoid. I did place my order and emailed regarding the format. Hopefully it all went well! EllenR |

Got it from your site. I mentioned in my payment that I wanted the Kindle edition. Is that good enough? I'm looking forward to reading these!
