You’ve Lost a Lot of Blood
by Eric LaRocca
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 3.9 #ad
Each precious thing I show you in this book is a holy relic from the night we both perished-the night when I combed you from my hair and watered the moon with your blood.
You’ve lost a lot of blood…
“… This book intertwines two tales. One is the story of pair of murderous lovers and the other involves a woman hired to fix an infamous video game. Either could be a serviceable tale on its own. Combining them makes them greater than the sum of their parts. LaRocca brings us into a world where desire corrupts intentions and blinds sensibility.” by Amazon Customer

Or, for example, when his agent told him his first novel was so bad that it would hurt both of their reputations, he nonetheless sent it to an editor, and that editor happened to like the Navajo stuff.
