USAIANS, IN SPAAAAAAACE:  The diner clung to the edge of the galaxy like feces from an unidentifiable pest. It squatted on a lonely interchange where three hyperspace lanes intersected, gravity leaking sideways, the windows tinted against the bruise-colored glow of a nearby accretion disk. The sign outside flickered in seven spectra and one emotional register that translated roughly to HOT FOOD, NO QUESTIONS.

WHAT KIM SAYS. ALL OF IT:  Quote Of The Day.

BUT DO YOU REALLY KNOW IT?  What do You know?

FROM T. C. ROSS:   Blood Diamonds: The Beast of Magnolia Manor (Boons and Banes Book 1).

Every year, hunters ride into the cursed woods of Magnolia Manor chasing fortune.
Most never ride out. September Zamfir isn’t after treasure.

He’s running from a past that hunts him harder than any monster, and walking straight into the one legend no blade has ever ended. But the beast is no mindless killer.

Behind silver fur and porcupine spines is Verity: a young woman chained to an ancient curse, guarding the only family she has left. When Sept offers the one thing no hunter ever has—help—she has to decide whether to trust the young man who sees through her claws… or condemn them both to the darkness that made her.

A dark, atmospheric tale of cursed bloodlines, impossible choices, and the thin line between monster and savior. For readers who crave beauty and terror in equal measure.
