Thank you, Grace, for such a wonderful review! It's been a fun, exciting day, but I was reminded just how BIG the internet is!

I desperately need an hour or two of quiet reading time before bed.

I've been saying that forever. i don't know when the last time I had some quiet time was. :/

I've even been absent[minded] here at MR lately. And this place is like my interwebs crack.

Kindle Books Reviewed's review of The Venom of Vipers

Greg Arnett, in his blog Kindle Books Reviewed, gave The Venom of Vipers five stars. Here's an excerpt:

"In particular, near the end of the book, the reader is treated to a series of action scenes that are perfectly paced. May writes many twists and turns that are only obvious in hindsight. You won’t see everything coming, but you will think you should have because May has used foreshadowing so well throughout the book."

Venom received another wonderful review today from author & reviewer Robert Duperre on his blog Journal of Always:

"In all, I had a very, very good time with The Venom of Vipers. It’s a poignant and fast-paced melding of science fiction, drama, and mystery. KC May solidifies herself as a writer to look out for in the future. She has something to say, she’s not afraid to say it, and she’s damn good at telling her story."

(emphasis belongs to Mr. Duperre)

Great! I hope you like it.

thinkpad · 12-15-2010, 02:24 AM

I've started on the book and I like it a lot. K.C you've got a true talent for writing. The story flows very easily and I find I'm looking forward to keep reading as the story progresses, not every book does this to me. Keep up the good writing

kcmay · 12-15-2010, 10:28 AM

Gosh, thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement.

To get it for free, you'll need a coupon code, which I'll post on my web site, Facebook and Twitter, but the coupon code will change every day. Visit my web site at http://www.kcmay.com for details.

After reading a lot of forum discussions lately about cover designs and taking a long, hard look at the cover for The Venom of Vipers, I decided it needed a change. It needed to be interesting. And I needed the help of someone who designs book covers, not just an artist, so I contacted Carl Graves of Extended Imagery.

Not only did Carl "see into" my book based on what little description I gave him, he picked out the most interesting tidbits and put together a cover that also matches the layout of my other covers. If you've read the book, you know how well this new one fits the story!

GraceKrispy · 01-17-2011, 08:32 PM

Great cover! I liked your other one, too, but this one fits the story much better.

thinkpad · 01-18-2011, 02:09 AM

I agree with Grace, I saw no fault with the old cover.
