Because Infected: Life After Death finally has a release date, I decided to release the first part of the soundtrack. (You know how I love making these.) The second part will go up about May 16th, day of release of the book. This mix varies between mournful and angry, with a curveball or two thrown in. You know, a couple of stages of grief.

Infected: Life After Death will be released May 16th!  Blurb follows:

In a world where a werecat virus has changed society, Roan McKichan, a born infected and ex-cop, works as a private detective trying to solve crimes involving other infecteds.

But when your heart is gone, it’s easy to fall into a black hole and never crawl out. Roan has been lost and alone for more than a year, and his best friends think a new case might be just the motivation he needs. Roan forces himself back into the game and discovers a dead man who might not be all that dead, a street hustler that wants to hustle him, and a dominatrix who is well prepared to take Roan’s orders. As Roan claws his way out of the darkness by diving back into his work, he finds himself in a race against time in the adrenaline-pumping realization that nothing helps a person want to live like helping someone else survive.

2 – Bigger Than Us

Roan was worried that once he got home, it’d be time to resume the argument, but it seemed Dylan was tired of it as well. They had ice cream for dinner – why the fuck not? They were adults, and neither of them felt like cooking – and talked about why Roan was sleeping in a cage more often than not. They also came to an agreement: Roan would let a video camera monitor his sleep in the cage. If, after a week, it became clear to him the lion never came out, he’d stop the bullshit and come back and sleep upstairs like a regular human being. Roan still wasn’t sure about this, but Dylan effectively guilted him into it. Dylan had mastered that.
