Produktbeschreibung

The Worst Day of a Rotten Year

The holiday season looks gloomy to Jennifer after a job loss forces her family to move. Away from friends and high school, into struggle and uncertainty. Then a heartless theft sends everyone's mood even darker. Only the comfort of her best friend Lynda makes sense. Unless they can work out a way to set things right. And deliver their own form of justice.

An excerpt from Pungent Justice:

One Bright Light on a Dark Day

At the thought of walking into Lynda's reassuringly normal living room, with her relatively happy parents who'd been born and raised nearby, and the solidly middle-class peace and quiet, and the pretty little Christmas tree that went up the day after Thanksgiving and came down on New Year's Day like clockwork, Jennifer balked.

That had been her family up until a year ago, and she'd thought it was boring. Dull routine that she couldn't wait to get away from. A world where everything was predictable and no one had their Christmas gifts and everything else stolen from right in their damn driveway.

"Can you… Do you think you could go for a walk? I need to talk to you."

Lynda scowled for a second, but Jennifer's face probably gave the whole game away. At the sight of the one friend she really cared about in this place-more than cared about if she ever had the courage to admit it-Jennifer's hard shield of anger about the robbery slipped.

Autorenporträt

Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That's just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.

Kari's first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.

Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.

Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she's happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they're better off not knowing more about.

Kari's novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
