The Devil & Dan Cooley: Devil's Point: Book 2 Holly Lisle

Publisher Marketing: Remember Which Road Is Paved With Good Intentions? Hell's cloven hooves have landed in North Carolina in a big way. Jobs are leaving, people are fleeing, and more than 50,000 Hellraised are... well... raising Hell. But DJ Dan Cooley has an inspired idea-reform Hell's minions, one devil at a time, starting with Devil Second Class Puck, who is unemployed from Hell's bureaucracy, homeless, unwashed, and wretched. Dan figures if he can get Puck a job, give him a makeover, and help him to meet a better class of people, he might just have a change of heart, with the hope that the rest of Hell might follow Puck's example. It's "The American Way." It's "The Right Thing to Do." It also might be just plain crazy-and as the devil, the state, Dan's girlfriends, and Dan himself all leap from the frying pan into the fire, the only sure thing is that "somebody's" going to get burned.

Contributor Bio:  Spence, Walter From an early age Walter Spence channeled his fascination with life, the universe and everything into an obsession with the literary and dramatic arts. After years of splitting his attention between writing and acting, he realized a choice had to be made. After collaborating with fantasy author and Compton Crook Award winner Holly Lisle on The Devil & Dan Cooley (book two of the Devil's Point trilogy) he began working on various projects, including a novel called The Caballa, which he describes as "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, as written by Stephen King." During this time he was "sideswiped" by the idea for a multi-volume tale of humans and vampires joining in common cause against a mutual enemy, a series he titled The Breed Wars. This saga begins in his most recent novel, House of Shadows, and will be continued in book two of the series, The Secret Room.
