Book Description
Arianna Burke made a deal with the devil. Or someone like him. Something. Imbued with power uncommon to other Mambos-voodoo priestesses-she has become a hidden weapon for New Orleans' vampire elite. For years, the extent of Ari's power has remained carefully under wraps. Until her temper flares with fatal results at the inaugural ball for Emilio De Laurentis, the vampires' new North American Emperor, resulting in a royal proclamation naming her as the Emperor's personal assassin. But when a mysterious trickster vampire, refusing to be upstaged, plays the prank of the century on Emilio and his guests, Ari finds herself caught up in much more than infernal pacts and vampire politics. It's not long before the vendetta becomes personal. For her. Ari must find-and kill-the jester vampire known only as Orin. A job that should be easy. Would be. If only her target wasn't so funny, sexy-and terrifying as hell.

Book Description
I only feel truly alive when the chess clock is ticking and the patterns on the squares in front of me are dancing in my head. Very little else gives me the same feeling. Nothing else, that does not involve a flame.'Tennessee Greenbecker is bravely optimistic as he sets out to claim what he sees as rightfully his - the title of world chess champion. But who is he really? Is he destined to be remembered as chess champion or fire-starter? Either way might this finally be his moment?- 'A chess-playing delusional pyromaniac - what could possibly go wrong? If chess is a metaphor for life, Graff has weaved his magic and brought the two together - with far-reaching consequences. Compellingly dark and disturbing, Graff's insight into madness will have you on the edge of your seat. A tremendous read.'Carl Portman - Chess Behind Bars- 'A tragicomic tale of a fading chess player, set against the background of a vividly-realised London. Graff writes brilliantly about life and chess, and Tennessee Greenbecker is destined to become one of the characters of our time.'Harper J. Cole - Subcutis- 'Graff has created an unforgettable chess anti-hero; his novel is amusing, affecting, and as addictive as internet blitz.'Mark Ozanne - Chess Fever'Graff is a phenomenal writer. With Tennessee Greenbecker, we can see he is not just a great chess journalist but also has an amazing creative side.'Evan Rabin - National Chess Master
