Layne Valin Guest Blog on Patricia’s Vampire Notes

Layne Valin took time off from a nomad’s never-ending pursuit of the Road to drop by Patricia’s Vampire Notes to discuss what it’s like to be a Vessel of the Dead and to help celebrate the release of Black Heart Loa.

Layne Valin and an awesome giveaway open to international readers as well! Contest ends August 2nd, so drop by and enter now. And check out what Layne has to say while you’re there. 😉

Here’s a taste:

Vessel for the Dead. Ghost ship. Spirit cabinet. Crazy

I’ve been called them all. And the only one that ain’t true—yet—is the crazy tag. But supposedly that’s my fate. The end of the road for all Vessels—insanity and/or a desperate, usually messy, suicide by the time you hit your late teens or early twenties.
Me, I’m twenty-five. And working hard on kicking fate’s ass.
So, hey. Good to meetcha. My name’s Layne Valin and I’m a Vessel for the Dead. (Laughs) And no, this ain’t a Vessels Anonymous meeting. No such thing since this ain’t an addiction—Vessels are born, not made, and death seems to be the only cure.
BHL a Top Pick on Night Owl Reviews

BHL a Top Pick on Night Owl Reviews

Black Heart Loa received a 4.5 star review on Night Owl Reviews and was named a Top Pick!  My cats yawned while I did a happy dance and clinked imaginary champagne glasses. (Note to self: buy more champagne glasses. Hurling them at encroaching zombies during New Year’s soiree was inspired, but .  .  .)

Here’s a taste of the review: “Black Heart Loa by Adrian Phoenix continues the gripping saga of life in the bayou and environs of New Orleans started in Black Dust Mambo. Kallie Riviere is still coming to terms with the shocking revelations about herself and the sacrifices so many have made on her behalf. A frantic search for her cousin Jackson Bonaparte reveals that there are significant problems with the use of the tools that the practitioners are familiar with and disastrous complications proliferate.” READ THE REST
