Which one of my books would fans of Patrick Swayze's Road House enjoy?
03/22/2024
I've noticed a bunch of people are coming here via searches or links pertaining to Patrick Swayze's superlative Road House.
If you liked that film, you'll probably enjoy The Vampires of Michigan. No, this isn't the usual 90s vintage tale of teen angst or social squabbling. This is a driving, fast-paced tale that uses vampires to frame the action. It's partly a meditation on what immortality would actually mean, and an extended chase where the each side in turn becomes the hunter and the hunted.
It was really fun to write, and when it came out, one of my friends (who is a fan) said it was the best writing I had yet done.
One of the aspects I enjoyed was finally putting my firearms knowledge to narrative use. Matching characters with weapons and showing them in action was fun. (Only the bad guys use Glocks.)
The whole thing is written in a cinematic style, emphasizing showing rather than telling, and avoiding internal monologues.
Basically it's sexy, fun, high body-count action novel. Check it out!
