Hobson's latest
Oct. 24th, 2012 06:34 amMK Hobson has a new novel out soon.
The year is 1910, and young Will Edwards has seen his dream come true. Almost. He’s been offered a job in Detroit, to work for Tesla Industries, but his family is imexplicably recalcitrant about this once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape California’s Sacramento Valley. That’s when Jenny Hansen, a childhood friend, comes back into his life with a plan that will allow her to get her hands on her inheritance before she turns 18, and Will his job for Nikola Tesla himself. They each get their wish, but there is this saying about being careful what you wish for.
Especially when there’s still plenty of magic around.
And just because you were born after 1876 and thus unable to tap into the forces of Magic, it does not mean that those forces can’t get to you. And the darkest magic isn’t necessarily that of Blood.
Recommended?
Hell yes.
“The Warlock’s Curse” won’t be available until one week from now, but you can pre-order its paperback ( http://www.demimonde.com/books/the-warlocks-curse/ ) and receive it in time for the upcoming Presidential Election. Or you can buy its e*book next week from places such as Smashwords ( http://www.smashwords.com/ ) and start reading it on Halloween Night. I myself had the honor to get its ARC, and hopefully will again next year with “The Unsteady Earth”, its dark other half. I hate that I have to wait.

“Sangrimancy is the only kind of magic where there can be conscious cooperation,” Briar said. “In credomancy, one person can’t have power unless they fool or manipulate some other person. And that other person can’t agree to be fooled, ‘cause that would defeat the whole purpose. In animancy, magic is drawn from spirits that don’t have any kind of conscious thought ... natural spirits that can’t agree nor cooperate, only respond according to their nature.”
