Edwin Allen Mercer I want them all to read my words. And they do. Every last blood-stained sentence, they've read and praised me for. They love the gore and violence, the realness. And I get a sense of power with it all because I know a secret: the victims in my books - they're real and have all died on my table. And maybe that's why the last book had such awful reviews. Murder is, after all, a dirty little thing. Some can stomach it. Others can't. My answer to those reviews: find a woman to co-author with. To be the next pathetic character in my book. Pity she's so pretty. Miranda Cross All I've ever wanted was to be successful as a writer so when I was offered the opportunity to co-author a book with my idol, EA Mercer, I jumped at the chance. He's beautiful and a literary genius, but something about him makes my stomach knot. And maybe it's my overactive imagination making my hairs stand on end when he walks up behind me. After all, these wicked little words we're typing are only fiction. They're only fiction...
