1. How can it POSSIBLY be November 2014? Sometime in the past couple of months my birth year started seeming like it was Really Quite A While Ago... ;)

2. Those of you who follow me around the internet will know that I've been noodling with Kickstarter ideas, and I have finally landed on REDEEMER, which is what happens when I mash up Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Rosie the Riveter in my head and set an urban fantasy in 1945.

A back-of-book style blurb follows, and here's a link to the first three chapters of REDEEMER: http://mizkit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Redeemer_Proposal_Chapters.pdf

The war is over…but for Rosie Ransom, the homefront battle is just about to begin!

It’s July 1945, and handsome young Johnny B. Goode is home from the war. Reportedly shattered by his experiences, he takes a night shift job at the local factory. It’s no surprise that the girls there are smitten with the handsome young soldier, but as they start to leave their jobs–and no forwarding addresses–Rosie Ransom begins to suspect there’s more to Johnny’s homecoming than believed.

When Johnny tries to turn a vampiric bite on her, Rosie kills him in self defense–and sees his soul, pure and uncorrupted, rise into the ether. Within hours, she’s approached by handsome, dangerous Hank Turner, who believes her to be a Redeemer–a rare talent who can save a lost soul even after demonic possession has taken place.

Rosie, facing the loss of her factory job as men–and her fiance Rich Thompson–come home from the war, is eager for any future that grants her the independence she’s come to cherish as a working woman. If there are monsters to slay, she’ll embrace the opportunity. Because without Rosie’s help, the scare started by Johnny may turn into a full-fledged nightmare…

If this tickles your fancy, head on over to the Kickstarter page and let's see if we can make this project go! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cemurphy/the-redeemer-chronicles-redeemer
