I'm totally psyched by the release of a new goth n'roll anthem by Finnish rockers, The 69 Eyes, entitled
Dead Girls Are Easy!
It's the debut single from a new CD by Helsinki's favorite vampires, and you can hear it RIGHT HERE!
It seriously rocks!!




I've recently finished the fifth story in this wickedly funny series about a girl who becomes an unwilling
ghoulfriend to the dead,

SILENT            
   NIGHT,
HAUNTED           NIGHT


Look for its release in November of 2009, and in the meantime, read an EXCERPT here!

Nicki Styx has a unique talent that's drawn her some unwanted attention - she can see and hear the dead. Unfortunately for her, she's drawn the eye of the
Devil himself, and he's decided to make her life
a living hell by tempting her at every turn.

Now "in the flesh" as the smokin' hot owner
of Divinyls, an indie music store across the street
from Nicki's vintage shop, Handbags and Gladrags, Sammy Divine is the original bad boy with a dark side, and he's out to seduce Nicki Styx, one way or another!

Ghosts, spirits, phantoms, spooks.
Call them what you like,
but don't call them too loudly -
they might hear you!


A spooky old house and a closet full of family skeletons leaves Nicki Styx wondering if her life will ever get back to anything approaching normal. Things go from bad to worse when the Devil himself shows up, on the lookout for a hot new girlfriend with the power to help him harvest lost souls. Demons may be a ghoul's best friend, but with this particular hottie, it could be a match made in hell!

"My name is Nicki Styx, and I thought
I had the world all figured out.
Then I regained consciousness."

There's something about almost dying that makes
a girl rethink her priorities.
Take Nicki Styx - she was strictly goth and attitude,
until a brush with the afterlife leaves her with the ability to see dead people.

Before you can say boo, Atlanta's ghosts are knocking at Nicki's door. Now her days consist of reluctantly cleaning up messes left by the dearly departed, and one-on-one anatomy lessons with the surgeon who saved her life. All this catering to the deceased can be a real drag, expecially for a girl who'd rather be playing hanky-panky with her hunky new boyfriend... who's beginning to think she's totally nuts!

Things get even more complicated when a friend foolishly sells her soul to the Devil, and Nicki's new gift lands her in some deep voodoo.

As it turns out for Nicki Styx, death was just the beginning.
