Art of Death Preorders are Live!

This afternoon I announced to my webcomic readers that book 1 in my new novel series was up for ebook preorder. Despite the fact that I know a lot of them are still holding out for the paperback (which is coming soon!), I was a little stunned to drop in on Amazon today and see Art of Death hanging out at #8 in the bestsellers list for both LGBT Fantasy Fiction and LGBT Mysteries, in good company next to books by C.S. Poe and TJ Klune.

Have I mentioned how much I love my readers? You guys have a way of lifting me up to places I never thought I’d see, and not only because I’m 4’10”. 🙂

So let’s get down to business! You’re going to hear me talking a whole lot about Art of Death in the upcoming weeks and months because, well, I’m super excited to share this book with everyone. I dug up parts of myself that I was afraid to look at, and the book is better as a result.

Art of Death - Bob Appavu - Cover

Genre: Paranormal, Thriller, Romance, Gay, LGBTQ
Published by: DSP Publications
Release Date: September 3, 2019
Format: Ebook, Paperback (coming soon)

Starving artist Riley Burke refuses to be dependent on his rich older boyfriend—hence his second job as a nude model at the local art school.  When the famous artist Coliaro requests him for a private modeling session, he jumps at the chance to earn some real cash.

But then Westwood, a mysterious stranger, warns him to steer clear—it’s said Coliaro is undead. That his worshippers perform rituals to fill him with life energy. That every time he paints a male nude, the painting transforms to depict a gruesome murder. And that shortly after, a young man turns up dead.

Riley dismisses the rumors—until they start to play out before his eyes. When he becomes a target, Westwood comes to his aid. But Westwood is secretive and dangerous himself… which just makes him more attractive to Riley. Riley is in over his head, and even his tenuous alliance with Westwood might not save him.
