Billy Blade is a hardworking, hard living, razor sharp musical force.

But control is an illusion. Dreams can turn into nightmares. And now during Mardi Gras, otherworldly powers stand ready to shape their destinies in ways they could never imagine.

Fred's Top Ten Reasons to Love Strange Magic & Michelle Mankin
1. Because New Orleans. This could probably be reasons 1-9 for me, lol, I love that town. Here's a picture of an awesome street performer (plus that ubiquitous Blue Dog) I took at RT last year. Cool stuff like this just happens there. A lot. Specially round midnight.
2. Because Harmonica. Did you know that Delbert McClintock gave John Lennon tips on harmonica? That had a big influence on Love Me Do, one of the Beatles first hits. Delbert's comments on learning how to play harmonica are pretty hilarious.
3. The Krewe of Bacchus has had some pretty awesome Kings, starting in 1969 with Danny Kaye. I kinda love that guy, not gonna lie. Here he is, kickin' it with Louis Armstrong.
4. Michelle is a rocker. Some people give away bookmarks for swag. She gives away guitar picks!
5. More proof that Michelle's a rocker? Her e-mail address starts with "foofighterfanatic."
6. Shakespeare + Rock, what's not to like?
7. There's a librarian named Fred in Love Revolution (Hey, it's my top ten, right?)
8. Because the original Strange Magic rocked!
9. Because this is only Part One, which means there will be lots more to love, soon!
10. Because Giveaway! Scroll down to enter!

Michelle Mankin is the Amazon bestselling author of the Black Cat Records series of novels. Romance with subtext. Reimagining classic stories with sexy rock stars and thought provoking issues. For many years she worked in the insurance industry as an underwriter. Somehow, the boredom didn't kill her but the hours and hours of looking at facts and figures provided ample time for her mind to wander. Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and Love Resolution are a Brutal Strength centered trilogy, combining the plot underpinnings of Shakespeare with the drama, excitement, and indisputable sexiness of the rock 'n roll industry. Things take a bit of an edgier, once upon a time turn with the Tempest series. These pierced, tatted, and troubled Seattle rockers are young and on the cusp of making it big, but with serious obstacles to overcome that may prevent them from ever getting there. Rock stars, myths, and legends collide with paranormal romance in a totally mesmerizing way in the Magic series. When Michelle is not prowling the streets of her Texas town listening to her rock music much too loud, she is putting her daydreams down on paper or traveling the world with her family and friends, sometimes for real, and sometimes just for pretend as she takes the children to school and back.
