Scrolls: Nekros buying guide

Finally, after some long barren months, I have a new book being published today.  This is the second entry in the Scrolls series, which is by far my favorite thing I've ever written.  I always like to put together these quick buying guides so my friends and family can have easy access to pick up the book.  If you're unaware of Scrolls, later in this post I'll give you information on the first book and where you can purchase it.  But for now, here's the information for Scrolls: Nekros.  

Magic comes with a heavy price.

Marty Schultz and his friends have seen the destructive ways in which magic can be used. They've also seen how it can be harnessed to save people in need. But they're still just college students, and they've made use of a power they don't fully understand.

Marty seeks normalcy, a chance to be a student and start a relationship with his beautiful co-worker. But life has a way of becoming complicated in a hurry. A necromancer walks the streets of their college town, and Marty finds himself being the reluctant hero once more, even though doing so could mean the end of his new romance before it ever begins.

Those closest to Marty have issues of their own. His sister is convinced he's up to no good, and she's decided to take a job in town so she can investigate further. His ex-fiancee is tortured by hellish visions, a side effect from her use of magic. His best friend is struggling to keep the unexpected consequences of a spell from coming back to haunt them. All the while, the key to bringing Marty the normalcy he desires most is lost, and finding it again will lead them into dark alliances and the depths of a magical criminal underground they never knew existed.

I'm very proud of this book, and hope you'll consider picking up a copy.  You can buy Scrolls: Nekros from the following places:
Hall Brothers Entertainment.com (where's it's available individually, or at a reduced rate in a bundle with the first Scrolls book)

Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with the original book.  Here's what it's all about, followed by info on where you can read it/buy it.  

Marty Schultz is a young man who just wants to be left alone. While his fellow students at Barker State University are living it up, Marty keeps his distance, spending most of his time alone. The used bookstore where he works specializes in the trade of ancient scrolls and Marty copies down their details for use in his web-comic. Little does he know that in the right hands these scrolls can be used to perform powerful magic and his use of them has drawn the attention of some very dangerous people. As Marty struggles to come to grips with the reality of the scrolls and his growing ability to harness their power he also has to face the past that he moved over 3,000 miles away to escape. 

Marty just wanted to be left alone, but that’s no longer an option. His life is suddenly very full and whether he likes it or not he has to find a way to deal with it. But if he’s going to reconcile with his angry ex-fiancée whom he left two years ago with no explanation, pacify his big sister who is trying to uncover a secret he’s worked hard to hide and get out from under the thumb of a scheming classmate, first he’s going to have to find a way to survive against a magic wielding madman who has decided that Marty Schultz must die.
