Introducing Bloody Angel

After nearly 21 years in development and three years of writing, I’m now finally satisfied to consider my first original light novel, Bloody Angel, finished. In order to provide potential publishers with some encouragement to pick up the manuscript, I’d like to solicit advance reader reviews. If you’re interested in doing me the favor of reading & reviewing an advance copy of my book, especially if you have a blog or personal website where you can post an objective, spoiler-free review, please contact me. I’ll provide a copy of the manuscript via e-mail in Microsoft Word or PDF format.

Anastasia Fujiwara manages a meager living in a dystopic future Japan until a mercenary gang of thugs slaughters her family and leaves her unconscious and presumed dead. Waking up from a coma weeks later, Anastasia sets forth on a vengeful quest for explanations and reparation. She quickly learns that she’s been drawn into a cryptic conflict between massive corporations, and the secrets she’ll uncover will cost her, body and soul, more than she ever imagined she could sacrifice.

Bloody Angel is a symbolically and thematically rich cyberpunk adventure inspired by Japanese light novels and anime. The tragic unconventional revenge epic is steeped in Shinto mythology and includes extensive references to literary tradition and religious iconography along with abundant subtextual thematic depth. Ideal for anime and manga fans, Bloody Angel is an intelligent, compelling, emotionally wrenching story accessible to all readers with a taste for provocative, mature sci-fi action.
