Thank you so much for hosting me today! Stay tuned to the end of the post for information about my giveaway!

Actor W.C. Fields apparently said “Never work with animals or children.” And while I’m not actually sure who W.C. Fields is, this is pretty solid advice for writing a novel. Children and animals can be difficult to write! Of course, I have both in Angel 1089 – a girl named Kayla and her dog, Trixie.

I feel it’s important to tell you that the dog lives.

I’ve always been a dog person, and there’s been a dog in my life since I was very young. When I was a kid, a ragged mutt walked into the power plant where my dad worked. He brought her home, despite my mom telling him not to. Her exact words to him over the phone were “Don’t you dare bring that dog home!”

That dog became part of our family for the next seventeen years.

She had curly black fur, except for a white bit under her chin. And this dog was street smart. She’d take off into the neighborhood and return with a slice of pizza. My dad would stand on the sidewalk at the end of the day and let out a loud piercing whistle and she’d come running home.

There might be some of this dog in Trixie, the dog in Angel 1089. She is a friend, protector, and has as much personality as any of the other characters in the book. And yes, she lives.

And now you can safely pick up Angel 1089.

I’m giving away four $10 Dreamspinner gift cards at the end of the blog tour!

About the Book

A deal with the devil….

Gabriel 1089 is an angel—an enhanced and cybernetically modified human designed to protect the city in the sky called Heaven. He follows Heaven’s orders and fights its enemies. But when an attack by demons leaves him trapped on the earth below, missing both a metal wing and his network-enabled halo, he’s cut off from his home for good and at the mercy of one man.

Jeff Werth is used to demons in need of his mechanical expertise showing up on the doorstep of the junkyard he runs in Old Trent. However, he doesn’t expect to be stuck with an injured angel. Jeff owes the demons for saving his daughter’s life, so he does what they demand—he nurses the angel back to health and keeps close track of him as a possible pawn in the high-stakes war between Heaven above and the demons below. But he doesn’t expect the effect Gabe has on his heart, or having to choose between his daughter and the man he’s come to love.
