For no reason at all, I’ve decided to give away an e-copy of my latest book, Infected: Bloodlines. All you have to do is tell me what your favorite album (or song) of the year is.

Drawing will be held on the 31st, just in time for the new year.  Just post at one of these places: Goodreads
CxPulp
Facebook

Or hit me up at my Twitter page, @aspeed, and I’ll throw you in the drawing. Good luck!

Roan left the North Yakima PD disgusted, but not all that surprised. The cops didn’t give a shit. It was probably easier to write it off than to devote manpower, money, and time to a frustrating missing persons case. Did Jessica know this? He had to assume not, because she probably would have been a hell of a lot angrier if she had.

Since Dylan wasn’t back yet, he sat on the hot curb and read the Melinda Hall file. It didn’t have much in it that Jessica hadn’t already told him. The case notes did shade in a few things, however. The cop writing the initial report, Crenshaw, found Harvey “hysterical and hostile”. Melinda worked part time as a secretary for an accountant named Carl Pearson, but according to Carl she’d taken a week off two days before she disappeared. Interesting. Probably a coincidence. Probably. (more…)

Since the book was released today, I thought I’d put a new soundtrack together, so here it is:

I tried not to be as noisy as most other times. I have no idea if I was successful.
