With a unique and fascinating magic system, Angel’s Ink is a new take on traditional and urban fantasy themes, spinning a tale of personal vendettas, mob bosses, and just a touch of romance. Gage is an engaging, sympathetic character with curiously twisted problems that he brings upon himself despite his best efforts. Keeping secrets from his friends works…until the hapless Gage makes the largest, and perhaps best, mistake of his life.  Now he just has to survive it.  Angel’s Ink is an other-earthly blend of magic and technology in the best tradition of urban fantasy that refused to let me go.  The  continuing Asylum Tales promise to be intriguing and wildly inventive.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKim Harrison\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Gritty, authentic and fast-paced!
