Crimson Rogue
by Liz Maverick

From the four strata of Crimson City come rogues: vampire, werewolf, human, demon. These rebels, rakes and unsung heroes have turned their backs on the extravagant vampire skyway, the gritty werewolf underground, the iron-fisted human stronghold and the fiery power of the demon underworld. Walking a thin line between heaven and hell, they make their own rules and follow their own destinies. Ironically, they will be the ones to determine if the City flourishes or fails.

Cydney Brighton knows them well, for she too is now rogue. Having escaped hell, she's discovered that the City is not what it once was—and neither is she. Only one man understands her, understands what it means to be someone or something beyond control. He's ready to come out of the darkness; and part-man, part-machine, he's willing to sacrifice almost anything to make himself whole.

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.
