Meet the Author: Maria DeBlassie is a native New Mexican blogger, award winning writer, and aware winning educator. When she is not practicing her own brand of brujeria, she’s reading, teaching, and writing about bodice rippers and things that go bump in the night. She is forever looking for magic in her life and somehow always finding more than she thought was there.

Reader’s Thoughts: “What does it take to find another beating heart in this city? All you want is one. But hearts are a hot commodity these days, and you have to be careful who you share them with.” This action-packed short story had so many meaningful concepts expressed in less than 20 pages. The fingernail scene made me cringe with its extensive detail. Just a tad bit of gore, just the way I like it! And the odd relationship with the tabby cat had me hooked. This would make an awesome prologue to the beginning of something much more. I would love to see this turned into a full novel. I look forward to seeing what else DeBlassie has up her sleeve.

Favorite Quote: “That’s the way of this world: be a hungry or be food.”
