Blurb:
Oh.
My. God.
Rain
Johnson escaped the insanity of her radical environmentalist family, only to
end up waitressing for a living. Her scale of success—with her at the
bottom—only goes as high as that college degree she never got, until she gets
one hell of an epiphany from a Trinity Corporation public-relations guy who
calls himself Jude. He tells her she’s the Lamb of God, and it’s time for that
whole Second Coming thing. But when her first minor miracle gets her arrested,
and an ecoterrorist using the name Messiah starts blowing up pesticide plants,
Rain and Judas are in for way more apocalypse than either of them expected.
Jude
scrambles to save his personal plan for salvation, but Lucy, the devil herself,
has her own well-laid plans. It doesn’t matter that Rain’s a conflict-avoiding
lesbian and Jude is history’s worst traitor. They’re all that stands between
humanity and an end of the world that wasn’t supposed to happen.
About the Author:
Katrina
Monroe is a novelist, mom, and snark-slinger extraordinaire.
Her worst
habits include: eating pretty much anything with her fingers, yelling at
inappropriate times, and being unable to focus on important things like dinner
and putting on pants.
She
collects quotes like most people collect, well, other things. Her favorite is, “If
you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest
favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style.
The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.”—Dorothy
Parker
Review:
The
Second Coming is here—in the form of Rain Johnson, a lesbian waitress with
spiky red hair, a snarky attitude, and a potty-mouth. And her guide through the
murky waters of miracles and succoring the masses is a guy from the Trinity
Corporation who calls himself Jude. We know him better as Judas Iscariot, and
this is his chance at redemption.
What
neither of them counted on was an eco-terrorist calling itself Messiah blowing
up fertilizer plants who resembles Rain right down to the color and style of
her hair. Or the fact that Messiah’s working for Lucy, better known as Lucifer.
Of course the Devil’s a woman. Jude wants to avoid the whole plague/battle
between the returned Messiah and the Anti-Christ scene, but apparently Lucy has
other plans. How can a waitress with Judas Iscariot and a whole walloping three
human disciples possibly defeat Lucifer, the Anti-Christ, and a bunch of
demons?
Everyone
assumes the Messiah must be a straight man when he returns. Why couldn’t she be
a lesbian? And a broke, snarky one at that? And why couldn’t Judas have a
chance to make amends? I found Sacrificial
Lamb Cake funny and thought-provoking, and despite a few editing glitches,
I’m still giving it five roses.

You’ll
notice we always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors
usually receive 40-50% of the net proceeds from the publisher. Editors and
cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes
& Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the
author, editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if
a book costs $5.99 at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author
will receive about $2.40-$2.99. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will
receive about $1.70-$2.10.
Download
the file from the publisher onto your computer as you would any other file.
I’ve created a folder for books on my computer, with subfolders by source
(Marketing for Romance Writers, Net Galley, Authors who find me on Kindle
lists, etc.). That way, if there’s a glitch with your Kindle, the books are on
your computer. Some publishers send books in all digital formats. If my Kindle
breaks and my kids buy me a Nook, I won’t have to replace all of my books. If
you have a Kindle and your hubby has a Nook, you won’t have to buy separate
copies, so buying directly from the publisher can save you money.
Moving
the file from your computer to your e-reader is as easy as transferring any
file from your computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the larger USB end of your
e-reader charging chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the
file from the folder into which you’ve downloaded the book to Documents/Books
directory on your e-reader. You can move the file by highlighting it and
dragging it to the documents directory in you Kindle you want to move it to. Or
right click on it, and then left click copy or move. Or hit Control/C for copy,
Control/X for cut, and Control/V for paste.
Your
author will be happy you did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.
