J.F. Lewis - ReVamped
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
Revived. Refreshed. And ready for revenge.
Eric has lost his strip club, his Mustang, and even Marilyn, the love of his (mortal) life. Even his body was obliterated. In short, they almost got him. But when you're a vampire, "almost" is a very important word. With a little magical help from his friends, Eric is restored to corporeal form, but his treasured Mustang gets caught up in the sorcery as well and ends up with an unlife of its own. Now, along with "Fang the Stang," he's out to save Marilyn from one of Void-City's most powerful soul-stealing demons. But salvation comes at a high price, forcing Eric to venture into his own worst nightmare, Vampire High Society, to uncover the truth about the origin of his powers.
At the same time, Eric's ex-girlfriend Tabitha, has begun to wonder exactly what it was that she admired about those High Society vampires in the first place. Her quest to find her own place in this deceptively vicious circle may lead her right back to Eric's side, if her little sister Rachel doesn't kill her first.
Eric will need all the help he can get, because it looks like someone is out for his soul, too. Blood will flow, fangs will be bared, and the claws will come out, because revenge is never pretty... and Eric has plenty to pass around.
REVIEWS
"J.F. Lewis has delivered an explosively written vampire tale." - Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Vampire fans who like their blood and gore leavened with humor should enjoy the campy sequel to 2008's Staked... Lewis's creativity elevates this above similar outings."
- Publishers' Weekly
"In a genre full of up and coming luminaries, J.F. Lewis may be the brightest of them all."
-Paul Goat Allen, BarnesAndNoble.com
"ReVamped is a turbo-charged dark urban fantasy, with laughs, love, and lots of action. J.F. Lewis has a fresh and unique voice. If you haven’t read Staked, pick it up as well and read them together, you will be glad you did." - SciFiGuy
"J.F. Lewis's Void City saga is like literary methamphetamine. The best thing to hit paranormal fantasy in years." -Paul Goat Allen, BarnesAndNoble.com
THE INSIDE STORY
During the long, long year of waiting between the time that Staked was purchased and the time that it was published, Jeremy was working on ReVamped. He had writers' block a few times, went back, rewrote chapters, moved chapters around, fixed consistency issues to make things match with some of the final edits to Staked, and turned out a really wonderful book that fans of Staked as well as new readers are going to really enjoy!
Credit for catching typos, relentlessly guarding against plot holes, and generally improving morale goes to J's writers' group, Write the Fantastic (WTF for short). Members and other friends of the author have once again provided invaluable editing assistance. Look for members of this elite group in their Welcome to the Void T-shirts at ImagiCon and ConCarolinas 2009.
