Konrath Collaboration Update
Last year I began to collaborate with authors interested in working with the characters and universes I created. Rather than go the Kindle Worlds route, and allow any author to do whatever they wanted with my intellectual property, I wanted my fans to know these were still JA Konrath stories--which meant I did much of the writing myself.The process has taken a lot longer than I expected, and I still have a stack of stories and novels to work on. I apologize to making so many writers wait so long. It's ironic--I used to curse publishers who took a year to get something published, and now it is taking me just as long.
The latest novel, HOLES IN THE GROUND, just came out today in the US and UK Kindle stores. It's written with thriller author Iain Rob Wright. And it's a lot of fun.
UK £2.99 Kindle Edition
Monsters exist.
Linguist Andy Dennison-Jones knows this all too well. He and his veterinarian wife, Sun, have been chased by them before, and barely escaped from a secret underground government facility with their lives.
Now they once again find themselves trapped alongside a collection of creatures straight out of hell. Fighting with them is an unlikely group of misfits, including a misplaced British kid, a former spec-ops soldiers, and a strange Irishman who might be the oldest living thing on earth--if he's even alive at all.
Filled with the kind of slam-bang action, wicked scares, and sly humor that have earned J.A. Konrath and Iain Rob Wright millions of fans, HOLES IN THE GROUND is both a collaboration and a continuation of both authors' previous work (ORIGIN by Konrath and FINAL WINTER by Wright) but also serves as a perfect introduction to their universes.
HOLES IN THE GROUND by J.A. Konrath and Iain Rob Wright
Some secrets have teeth...
Plus, as a bonus extra, included is an entirely different version of the novel--Wright's original draft before Konrath touched it.
Two complete novels. One low price. Over 140,000 words of content.
The devil you know is just as bad as the devil you don't...
I encourage everyone to check HOLES IN THE GROUND out, and to help spread the word. It's a lot of fun, and Iain just had his first baby a few days ago and needs the money. :)
But HOLES isn't the only collaboration I've done in the past ten months.
Here are the others:
What do Lt. Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels and private investigator Nicholas Colt have in common?
Billiards, bourbon, bad jokes…
And murder. Several, in fact.
A homeless woman’s remains are found near Chicago twenty-six years after she disappeared. Her daughter—now retired in Florida—suspects foul play, and she hires Colt to fly up there and check it out.
A prominent Chicago physician is slain outside a convenience store, horribly mutilated. A senseless street killing? A robbery gone wrong? Or something much worse?
As the homicide cases and those involved converge, it quickly becomes apparent that Jack Daniels and Nicholas Colt are in for the most challenging—and deadly—time of their lives.
Filled with humor, suspense, and mystery, LADY 52 is sure to satisfy longtime Daniels and Colt fans, and is a perfect introduction to both series. It's approximately 250 pages long.

Cole Clayton is a small town cop used to small town crime. But when a girl goes missing, it leads him from his small town to Chicago, where he teams up with a tough Homicide cop named Jack Daniels.
What is the meaning of cheese wrestling? Hint: You probably don't want to know. And neither does Jack. But sometimes you have to deal with the worst of humanity to bring out the best in humanity.
CHEESE WRESTLING
There are things worse than murder...
Gavin English isn't in Chicago searching for an unfaithful woman's wedding ring out of the goodness of his heart. He's doing it for the fifty thousand dollar check the unfaithful woman gave him. All he has to do is track down the pretty boy who stole it—in one of the biggest cities in the country.
Lucky for Gavin, ex-police Lieutenant Jack Daniels knows her way around the city—her city—and she's agreed to set aside her mommy duties for a few days, so that she can babysit him and his assistant while they're in town.
But somewhere between Gavin's visit to the busted-down crackhouse and their stop at a low-rent donut shop, Jack's peaceful babysitting gig turns deadly and the bullets start flying.
BABYSITTING MONEY brings together Ken Lindsey's heavy drinking, hard-boiled PI (TO THE BONE, ON THE EDGE) and J.A. Konrath's retired hero cop/brand-new mommy (WHISKEY SOUR, SHAKEN) for an intense, laugh-out-loud thriller.
A young addict forced into a life of contract killing, Macklin Dailey never let go of the girl he left behind at college. Now he's returned to campus on a cold October evening to protect Allie from a vicious psychopath preying on the community. Mackie is convinced this predator has set his sights on old love, and he'll do anything to keep her safe.
But someone is following Mackie.
Phineas Troutt is a problem solver, hired to punish Macklin for his past sins. But when this pair of hitmen cross paths with a monster far worse than either of them, the streets of a peaceful North Carolina community will be run red with blood and consumed by the OCTOBER DARK.
Psychic Investigator AJ Rakowski can't talk to the dead, but she can 'dial' into a dead person's vibes.
Why this qualifies her as a consultant for the Chicago Police Department is a mystery to skeptical Homicide Lt. Jack Daniels, who has real cases to solve.
But when Rakowski is brought on to help stop a serial kidnapper from abducting his next victim, Jack is forced to work with AJ. A girl's life is on the line, and maybe if the two learn to accept their differences and join forces, they just might be able to stop the...

But now both perps are walking free, and someone wants AJ out of the picture... permanantly. Coincidence? Or is there another criminal involved?

BEAT DOWN
Revenge can be murder...
Beat Down is a 15,000 word short novel (about 68 pages) featuring JA Konrath's heroine Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels who is the star of more than 1 million books, and Garth Perry's new heroine AJ Rakowski. Features action, suspense, and a fair does of humor.
Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels hates to fly. She hates the cramped leg room and the recycled air. She also hates the fact that she can't get a decent drink. The short flight to Florida is a necessary burden to visit her mother, but what escalates it beyond a mere inconvenience is the fact that the pilot is a gun-toting maniac.
Teaming up with an irritable, badly scarred woman from England, Jack sets about trying to protect the plane and its passengers from the homicidal Captain Clive while also making sure that they don't end up taking a deadly nose dive into the Sunshine State.
STRAIGHT UP

Unfortunately, it's no joke when Bugsy rigs the barrel of a twelve-gauge pump to the back of the bartender's neck.
Together for the first time in this explosive, lightning-paced tale of greed, betrayal, and blood-soaked terror (not really, but it's a fast-paced and funny mystery-thriller), Florida PI Nicholas Colt (Crosscut, Key Death) and Chicago cop Jacqueline Daniels (Whiskey Sour, Shaken) team up to stop the robber before another shotgun shell gets RACKED.
Jacked Up! with Tracy Sharp $2.99Leah Ryan used to steal cars for a living. A former repo chick, she'd hung up her lock picks for a new career as a private eye. But when her old boss calls up with an offer to repossess a Rolls Royce, the thrill-seeker in Leah can't refuse.

GRANDMA? Part 1 by J.A. Konrath and Talon Konrath
She won't bake you cookies...
Forget everything you've ever read about zombies. But that's probably impossible, because I bet you've read a lot. So maybe just put aside your preconceptions, because this living dead epic will make you remember why you fell in love with this genre in the first place. Part funny, part scary, part 1 of the Geriatric Zombie Apocalypse.
Rated PG for mild zombie violence and semi-naughty words, like boobies.
This is YA fiction by a YA writer. Does it get more real than that? Plus an entertaining afterword written by thrillomedy bestseller Jeff Strand!
Warning: This ebook is not for the faint of heart, those with nervous disorders, lunatics, women who have been pregnant for more than 12 months, children under the age of 1, bed wetters, German shorthaired pointers, people named Steve, certified public accountants, those who operate heavy machinery, and my next door neighbor.
Joe sez: So yes, it seems like things are going slow. But I've managed to release 2 full length novels and 13 novellas in the last 10 months.
The sales so far have been pretty good, and they seem to be doing better than a lot of Kindle Worlds titles, so I've been pleased. I wish I could get these done faster, but they're taking as long as they take, and I'm proud to have my name on every single one of them.
Overall, the reviews have been good. Right now Lady 52, previously the only novel of the bunch, is ranked around #10,000, which is right where many of my other Jack Daniels novels are ranked.
Novels sell better than short stories, and many others have contributed novels that I'll be working on shortly.
In the meantime, support your peers, and this blog, and buy every one of these. Because, after all, this blog only exists for me to sell my work to fellow writers.
Not.
But it would be awfully cool of you if you bought a few. :)
