Bad Moon Books is now taking pre-orders for the my novelette, The Bitchfight. THE FIGHT IS ON! Here's the twisted story description from the back cover: Somewhere deep in the Black Mountains outside of Vegas, men of all kinds secretly gather to wager on a very special sport. A crowd of them surrounds a pit in the ground, cheering as money changes hands and spotlights beam down from the tops of tractor trailers, illuminating the dusty arena in a sickening glow.
