Crimson City
by Liz Maverick

Once, this was the City of Angels. The angels are no longer in charge.

From the extravagant appetites of the vampire world above, to the gritty defiance of the werewolves below, the specter of darkness lives around every corner, the hope of paradise in every heart. All walk freely with humans in a tentative peace, but to live in Los Angeles is to balance on the edge of a knife. One woman knows better than most that death lurks here in nights of bliss or hails of UV bullets. She's about to be tested, to taste true thirst. She's about to regain the power she's long been denied. And Fleur Dumont is about to meet the one man who may understand her: a tormented protector who's lost his way and all he loved.

Theirs is one tale of many. This is Crimson City, where desire meets danger and more than just the stars come out at night.

Liz Maverick's Bio

For most of her life, Liz Maverick had no idea she was meant to be a writer. After collecting several initials (BS, CPA, MBA), Liz went to work first as a tax accountant, then as a Web site developer. Unfortunately, cubicle life simply wasn't for her.

Everybody always said that writers got to spend all day in their pajamas and eat bon-bons for lunch. That sounded very pleasant, so one day, while commuting to work on the train, Liz opened up her laptop and started to write a book. Boom! She'd discovered her true calling.

Liz Maverick now enjoys writing sassy contemporary fiction for Penguin Putnam's NAL imprint and kick-butt futuristic action romance for Dorchester and Red Sage.

If you ask Liz where home base is, she'd probably have to give you the address for a storage shed in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the last year alone, she has sent manuscripts to her editors from Antarctica, France, and Indonesia.

Every once in a while, she spends all day in her pajamas...and eats bon-bons for lunch.
