Episode 105 - The Three Ring Scavenger

We are SO. CLOSE. To Sinful Signings 2025 (July 19-20 in Roanoke, Virginia), and the dark parade of attending authors covered on our show marches on with The Three Ring Scavenger by S. A. Burd. Katie has longed to cover one of of Burd's books on the show, and the wait paid off big time, as it led her to this bonkers tale of demons, gods, and vampires getting up to no good.

Book Description

A vampire and demon walk into a brothel, but they’re not looking for services. They’re looking for HER.
Being a business owner and whore house madam has kept Maude very busy since her husband’s grisly death. She doesn’t have time for games or interruptions, but fate rarely gives us what we expect. One moment she’s minding her own business; the next, two extremely good-looking men come to offer her immortality. Making deals with demons can be tricky—she should have read all the fine print, or at least asked more about HIM.
Now she’s faced with a vampire, a demon, and a god, all hiding in plain sight. What they ask of her will rock her to her very core. She needs to keep her head on straight and not let her new power—or the tempestuous god—seduce her.
