Carniepunk: Parlor Tricks (Elemental Assassin) Read online

  Besides wild, ravenous turkeys, Rob has two rescue dogs (If you don’t have a dog, how do you live?). Both were adopted from the pound (one on his last day on death row). They were fully grown, already house-trained, and grateful as hell. Think about it the next time you’re looking for a Rover or a Fluffy. For updates, teasers, deleted scenes, social networking (the time-suck of an author’s life), and various other extras, visit the author at www.RobThurman.net and @Rob_Thurman.

  USA Today bestselling author Jaye Wells writes urban fantasy novels with grave stakes and wicked humor. Raised in bookstores, she loved reading from a very young age. That gateway drug eventually led to a full-blown writing addiction. When she’s not chasing the word dragon, she loves to travel, drink good bourbon, and do things that scare her so she can put them in her books. Jaye lives in Texas with her husband and son. For more about her books, go to www.jayewells.com and @JayeWells.
