Blog Hop: The Merchant of Death
Hi! We’re Lisa Henry and J.A. Rock, the
authors of THE MERCHANT OF DEATH. We’re touring the web taking about our
influences, our processes, anything we can think about actually, and even
giving you guys a sneak peak or two! And what would a blog tour be without a
contest? Check out the details at the bottom of the post to see what you can
win!
Today we’ve handed the reins over to
one of our MC’s, Henry Page. Apparently he has something he wants to get off
his chest About Mac. And eggs. We’re not really sure. We stopped listening a
while ago. Here’s Henry:
I asked Mac to get me an egg cup for my birthday. You’d
think that wouldn’t be too much to ask, right? It’s not like I wanted the
security swipe to his office and his computer password. First I had to explain
what an egg cup was, because even though he was raised on a farm, apparently
Mac never ate soft-boiled eggs. Then he was all like, “No, Henry.” And “We
should keep this relationship professional, Henry.” And “Your birthday isn’t
until July, Henry.”
Firstly, I’ll start keeping this relationship professional
when you start keeping your hands off my ass, Mr. FBI Agent. Secondly, Henry
Page is an assumed identity, and can celebrate his birthday whenever the hell
he wants. So there.
Anyway, here are the egg cups I want, because eggs are the
best food ever, and egg cups are full of win. And eggs, usually.
Mac, if you buy these for me, I’ll let you be the mustache.
These guys! Because sometimes I want to feel like tiny
little plastic men from something I’m calling Strike Force Delta have died to bring
me my egg. Probably while others screamed “Noooooooooooo! He was going home
tomorrow!”
The cute, Mac! I’m dying of the cute! I want the green one,
and you can have the orange one because of your scary face, and when we find an
orphaned foundling in the gutter and raise him as our own and call him Benvolio
Augustine Magneto Jedi Page-McGuiness, he can have the purple one!
Hurry up and buy these because it’s my birthday on
Wednesday. And also probably Saturday, and maybe Sunday as well.
- Henry.
About THE MERCHANT OF DEATH:
All’s fair
in love and war.
There’s
something rotten in the state of Indiana. When con man Henry Page takes it upon
himself to investigate the death of an elderly patient at a care facility, he
does so in true Shakespearean tradition: dressed as a girl.
FBI Agent
Ryan “Mac” McGuinness has more to worry about than Henry’s latest crazy idea.
Someone is trying to send him a message—via a corpse with a couple of bullets
in it. He needs to figure out who’s trying to set him up before he gets
arrested, and he really doesn’t have time for Henry’s shenanigans. Then again,
he’d probably be able to focus better if Henry didn’t look so damn distracting
in a babydoll dress and a wig.
But when Mac
discovers that Henry has been keeping a secret that connects the cases, he has
to find a way to live on the right side of the law when he just might be in
love with the wrong sort of man.
