Vampires

Dead & Damaged Coming in 2016!

/ SL Eaves

I’m back! After a long absence, I’m finally getting around to updating this website in preparation for the release of Book 2 of The Endangered Series – Dead & Damaged. I’ve created a page for all things related to this book, but for now it basically contains what you’ll find in this post. I’ll be adding more as we get closer to the release. In the meantime, here’s the synopsis and a couple excerpts:

Dead & Damaged Concept Art

Dead & Damaged Synopsis:
Book Two of The Endangered Series picks up with Lori attempting to track down the source of stealth technology rogue vampires are using to hunt humans. Her pursuit leads her into the arms of a government agency with similar objectives. A temporary alliance is formed in an effort to stop the corporation responsible for putting the technology in malignant hands. Their mission goes awry, however, and leaves Lori with more enemies than friends.

Her situation worsens when Marcus learns that the corporation has also been working with vampires to develop daylight suits and synthetic blood. He convinces his clan that this organization and its infinite resources could be a valuable asset in the evolution of their kind. They begin questioning Lori’s motives and Marcus takes the opportunity to capitalize on their distrust. Consequently, Lori soon finds herself on the run from her former clan and turns to Vega for help exposing the truth behind Marcus and his new deceitful allies.

#4 on the Bestseller List! [For My Publisher]

/ SL Eaves

TZPP Sales RankingsOkay so it’s not exactly a New York Times or Amazon Bestseller list, but for a first book by a previously unpublished and thus unknown writer, I’ll take what I can get. And it gives me an excuse to talk up the series it spawned. Originally pieced together from a series of short stories, The Endangered came about in a rather unorthodox fashion. And despite having an epilogue, it was meant to be a standalone. I never thought it would be published, let alone have enough demand to justify turning it into a series.

Having been out for almost a year, it’s great to see it doing so well. So I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the supportive team at Zharmae Publishing and to readers for embracing the book! (Or, which is entirely possible, my friends and family for buying a ton of copies to skew the sales rankings haha).

TZPP Best Seller ListLook for Book 2 in The Endangered Trilogy, entitled Dead & Damaged, in a few *short* months! In the meantime, you can read a preview here.

I also encourage you to explore the other fantastic titles Zharmae Publishing has to offer. They publish a wide range of genre fiction, from romance to scifi and specialize in a lot of “niche” genres that you won’t find at a lot of traditional publishing houses.

And now back to working on Book 3… Thanks again!

Latest Reviews: 2015 Edition

/ SL Eaves

2015 has been very good to The Endangered thus far!
Check out the most recent reviews:

“The story itself is excellent. It’s not your typical Vampires vs Werewolves story. Instead it reads more like a female Jason Bourne vampire thriller in which the bad guys just happen to be werewolves…light years away from what I was expecting when I started reading…S. L. Eaves delivers a wonderfully thrilling tale of intrigue between vampires and werewolves that is well worth your time.” – Richard Foland

“This is a taut, pacey and gritty gothic tale with plenty of car chases, fights and dark turning points to keep any fan of the genre interested…Overall this is a fun dark fantasy and an enjoyable action adventure.” – J.A. Ironside

“I give this book an A! It was action packed and I couldn’t put it down…If you like a good vampire/werewolf battle story then check it out.” – Cherrelle Shelton

“Vampires, Werewolves and an MBA” by Drexel University

/ SL Eaves

Drexel University recently published this timely, Halloween-themed article where I discuss the challenges of tackling an MBA while trying to get published. If you are an aspiring writer hopefully you’ll find some useful tidbits of advice on the industry, or at the very least take away some new horror movie recommendations:

“With Halloween approaching, we decided that someone who took on the terrifying challenge of earning her MBA while penning a debut novel might have some interesting things to say about creativity, marketing and horror movies. Philadelphia area native Stephanie Eaves ’14 wrote “The Endangered” while enrolled here at LeBow. In January, she signed with Zharmae Publishing, and her book is now available for purchase…”

Read the full article here. Big thanks to my alma mater for the support!
