BCB: Visit from author Rachel Caine @rachelcaine

On Sunday, our Book Club had Rachel Caine as our guest.  My husband met Rachel at our mail box location and struck up a conversation with her when he saw all the books.  Hubby does know what a voracious reader I am so of course that would catch his eye.  She gave him her card and said to get in touch and she would come speak to us.  After months of conversations and a postponement due to weather, we finally were able to meet and have a conversation about her books, publishing, contracts, the production of Morganville Vampires into a web series, her many talents (including web design) and many other things.  It was a delightful 2 hours and I know several of us could have sat there and for a few more hours talking to her about anything and everything.

We all read a book by her and my pick was Working Stiff, the first book in the Revivalist series.  I really enjoyed this book even though urban fantasy really isn’t my normal genre to read.  I did realize pretty quickly that a coworker would enjoy this book, and I was right!  This is the first of a 3 book series so I will be looking for the next 2 in the series so I can see how it all end.  I did give this book 5 paws in my rating system.

Bryn Davis has her whole life ahead of her. A new job as a funeral director. A new start. But when she discovers her boss has a side business reviving the dead with a hijacked government pharmaceutical, she’s not just in danger … she’s dead. Revived, enslaved to the nanite drug to keep herself alive, Bryn finds an ally in mysterious stranger Patrick McCallister … and a new purpose as a spy for the pharmaceutical giant trying to recover its lost property.
