I’ve shown not one or two, but three excerpts for ALL SEEING EYE (check third excerpt for the snark to start)-see front page of website or check blog. Now to keep the interest going here are a few snippets from the book. Jackson does not snark for free. He expects money or praise–he’s equal opportunity.  So…see below: Jackson’s psychic view on cats: “I wonder if I brought my Silly cat in…I call her Silly short for Priscilla. I inherited her from my mom who had a huge thing for Elvis. But if I snuck her in, could you tell me what she’s thinking? Or why she pees in my boyfriend’s shoe instead of the litter box?” She was an...

It’s a year away, but here’s a teaser to keep your motor revving: a little taste of the first chapter of Cal 8. Half the book is set twelve years ago and half is  present day. Twelve years ago Niko was fifteen and Cal eleven (for those confused by the difference in ages–4 years vs 2 years–you’ve forgotten that time runs differently in Tumulus where Cal was lost for 2 days here/2 years there.)  In this little snippet, Niko comes home after school and work and Cal fills him in on the news of the day. Enjoy! (And if it inspires fan art…I do love fan art.)    Twelve Years Ago Niko       “Our neighbor is a serial killer.” It...

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cal Leandros novels comes a bold new supernatural thriller. Picking up a small pink shoe from the grass forever changed young Jackson Lee’s life. Not only did its presence mean that his sister Tessa was dead—murdered and stuffed in the deep, black water of a narrow well—but the shoe itself told him so. Tessa’s death triggers an even more horrific family massacre that, combined with this new talent he neither wants nor can handle, throws Jack’s life into a tailspin. The years quickly take him from state homes to the streets to grifting in a seedy carnival, until he finally becomes the cynical All Seeing Eye, psychic-for-hire. At last, Jackson...

Reavers! Thank you for putting together one kickass dream soundtrack for The Leandros Brothers. Below is a collage of all the album art that links to the iTunes playlist. Note: the songs are not listed in order of popularity – it’s more like a “mix tape” to share with each other. Three winners will be “gifted” this soundtrack, and we are very close to announcing all of the winners – ten total – for the entire DOUBLETAKE contestapalooza. We hope you loved this contest as much as we did! To be continued… -Rob and Jayda

*wink-wink, nudge-nudge?* So… we’ve pretty much decided which tracks you all submitted should be the top ten. But we’d like to have fifteen total songs on the soundtrack, and we’re torn on which five to choose out of tracks 11 – 20. So! We’d love to get your opinions by voting in this poll. Yes, it is enabled for multiple selections, so pick your favorite five. Once that’s done, we’ll be announcing contest winners and giving you VIP access to two sneak preview excerpts of Rob’s July release, ALL SEEING EYE. Thank you for making this a truly great contest season for DOUBLETAKE! -Rob and...

Monster The secret side of me I never let you see I keep it caged But I can’t control it So stay away from me The beast is ugly I feel the rage And I just can’t hold it It’s scratching on the walls In the closet, in the halls It comes awake And I can’t control it Hiding under the bed In my body, in my head Why won’t somebody come and save me from this? Make it end! I feel it deep within, It’s just beneath the skin I must confess that I Feel like a monster I hate what I’ve become The nightmare’s just begun I must confess that I Feel like a monster I...
