The Venom of Vipers - science fiction novel

kcmay · 11-12-2010, 01:47 PM

I'm very pleased to announce that my latest novel, The Venom of Vipers, is now available!

A supervirus threatens to wipe out the human population.

The only hope for the future is a cure hidden inside Ryder Stone. Created in a lab and brutalized, betrayed and hated by humans, Ryder yearns for freedom. Outside, a group of human genetic purists want him dead.

When Katie Marsh, a brilliant young geneticist, discovers his secret, she must fight to protect Ryder, gain his trust...and convince him to save humanity before the purists destroy them both.

Very nice! MR Friends, I'd take advantage of this contest!

thinkpad · 11-22-2010, 05:07 PM

Exciting, I'm looking forward to the review and the release, and as usual my TBR list is increasing rather than decreasing but it's always good to know that there's something to read.

Good luck with the release K.C May. Hope it goes well

jaxx6166 · 11-22-2010, 09:35 PM

Ooh...a contest.

Grace, I had no idea you were such a prolific smashwords reviewer, but I caught your writeups on like everything! Are you in the land of eternal summer too!? Your pictures look awful Floridian..

GraceKrispy · 11-22-2010, 10:20 PM

hey Jaxx, eternal summer, yes-- Hawai'i here! I take it you're in FL?

I started by reviewing smashwords books, and, just this past September, stepped it up a notch with my own review blog. Now I post my reviews on Amazon and Smashwords (if I am able) and Goodreads (if the book is already listed). It's a (time-consuming) hobby, but I've gotten mostly nice feedback and I've read some great books I may not normally have chosen

crich70 · 11-23-2010, 05:06 AM

A contest hmm. Interesting.

kcmay · 12-01-2010, 12:13 AM

Woo hooo!

It's done. My baby is all grown up and on its own! Thanks everyone for your interest and support! I'll be messaging the winner of the giveaway in just a sec.

I feel like a winner myself, even though I never entered the contest... But... I bought the book! After all the excitement leading up to the moment of release, I'm very excited to get to read this book...

GraceKrispy · 12-01-2010, 02:50 AM
