Publishing Deals for the week of October 8th to 15th

Disclaimer: These books are not published yet, ergo these are not reviews. Repeat: Not reviews. If your book is snarked, it’s because your blurb failed to entice. No more, no less. Since we know the PM blurbs aren’t usually written by the authors, feel free to come by and tell us more about your book. Or be offended by the fact we snarked your blurb. Whichever you think is going to sell more books.

Rita Herron’s DARK LORDS series, bringing three estranged brothers, anti-heroes, who must battle their own inner evil side, together to form a paranormal crime unit and fight demonic crimes, to Michelle Bidelspach at Grand …
