Passionate and headstrong, half-demon Raven is nearly executed on the orders of her fundamentalist stepfather. She escapes from the burning stake using the gifts of her otherworldly heritage and the help of a mortal stranger named Blade. Now she's set on revenge, and only quiet, intense Blade stands in her way.
A retired assassin weary of the weight of his past, Blade has crossed the desert to seek out a new life. His journey is interrupted when his conscience demands he help Raven find an old friend who can help her. Saving her from her need for revenge and delivering her into the hands of loved ones means he's one step closer to redemption.
But as Blade's sense of duty becomes something more and threats, both mortal and immortal, stalk the woman he can't abandon, he could very well fall back into the life he's trying so hard to escape.

Interview with Blade, from Black Widow Demon (Book 2 in The Demon Outlaws series)
Thanks for
having us here today!
I hope it’s
okay, but I’ve dragged along my reluctant hero, Blade, to answer a few
questions. As a retired assassin he’s quite anti-social and not much for the
spotlight, but I heart this guy to pieces. When the apocalypse strikes, you’re
going to want him around. He does what needs to be done, and he’s not much for
dwelling on the past. He’s all about the future.
So. Blade. Can you tell us 5 things about yourself that
no one would guess, or that they’d have to read the book in order to find out
for sure?
Blade: Five? Hmm.
I don’t like to kill. I do it because it’s necessary. I like children a lot. I
don’t like bullies. I can carry a tune. And I really want to see the world.
Hopefully, someday the goddess boundary will fall.
You say you
don’t like to kill, and yet you were ready to kill Raven. Why?
Blade: No one should have to suffer such a horrible
death as the one she was facing. If I’d known she could free herself from the
stake, and that fire wouldn’t have harmed her anyway, I would never have
considered interfering. As it was, she saved me the trouble.
Seriously. Why
Raven? What’s the attraction?
Blade: She’s vulnerable, and yet so independent. She
doesn’t smother me. She has a positive outlook on life. Despite this need she
has for revenge, she’s really about doing the right thing. And she doesn’t talk
too much. (*Fixes Paula with cold stare.*)
O…kay. (Daring
to push the boundaries, here.) It’s got nothing to do with the fact that she
has demon allure working in her favour?
Blade (*Fixes Paula with
even colder stare*): No.
In The Demon’s Daughter (Book One in the
Demon Outlaws series) you were a saloon owner. Why did you walk away from what
was a safe lifestyle?
Blade: You answered your own question. It was safe,
and it was boring. I’d lived there as a cripple for ten long years. When Airie
(the heroine from The Demon’s Daughter) healed my damaged leg, I wanted to find
a real purpose. A challenge. I’d felt half alive for too long.
About that
damaged leg…. How did it feel to be almost eaten alive by a demon?
Blade: How do you think? I feel lucky to be alive. I
feel grateful to Hunter, the Demon Slayer who saved me. I feel like I don’t
want to talk about it anymore. Next question.
Boxers or
briefs?
Blade: Only Raven knows the answer to that. I’m fairly
confident she’ll keep it to herself.
(A voice shouts
out in the background, “Briefs!”)
Blade (looking pained): Or not.
It’s a
well-known fact that you hate demons. Why, then, are you okay with half demons?
Blade: I’m not okay with them. I’m okay with some of
them, just like I’m okay with some people.
But half demons were born into a mortal world, and they have nowhere
else to go. This is their home, too. Everyone deserves a chance. But make no
mistake, a few of them are going to die. (Pauses to
consider that.) Maybe more than a few.
If you could
have anyth—
Blade(cutting Paula off): That’s it. Interview’s over. If people
want to learn more, they should read the book. Black Widow Demon, from
Entangled Publishing. Besides, Raven’s the far more interesting character. Next
time, why don’t you interview her?
It seems
Blade’s had enough. Thank you so much for having us here today!
Woohoo. I am soo loving Blade! Thanks so much you guys for stopping by and doing the interview! And thanks to Raven for that brief (chuckling at the pun) cameo !
