There was no way I was going to fit the entire title of this novel into the title of this post. Trust me. Today, I'm pleased and honored to have a spot in the Blog Tour for the newest REUTS release: The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant.
Or FRED, for short.
Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die
boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did
so as a boring one. Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues,
Fred has never been the adventurous sort.
One fateful night – different from the night he died, which
was more inconvenient than fateful – Fred reconnects with an old friend at his
high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events
thrusting him right into the chaos that is the parahuman world, a world with
chipper zombies, truck driver wereponies, maniacal necromancers, ancient
dragons, and now one undead accountant trying his best to “survive.” Because
even after it’s over, life can still be a downright bloody mess.
Come on, guys. Every other vampire tale out there cannot measure up to this. In their own words, the REUTS team said, "We love vampires. We love snarkiness. "Fred" (shortened title) has a lot of both." If this is true, then this is a novel after my own heart, and I hope I'm not the only one dancing a nervous jig until I get a copy!
Meet the Author:
Drew Hayes is an aspiring author from Texas who has written
several books and found the gumption to publish a few (so far). He graduated
from Texas Tech with a B.A. in English, because evidently he’s not familiar
with what the term “employable” means. Drew has been called one of the most
profound, prolific, and talented authors of his generation, but a table full of
drunks will say almost anything when offered a round of free shots. Drew feels
kind of like a D-bag writing about himself in the third person like this. He
does appreciate that you’re still reading, though.
Drew would like to sit down and have a beer with you. Or a
cocktail. He’s not here to judge your preferences. Drew is terrible at being
serious, and has no real idea what a snippet biography is meant to convey
anyway. Drew thinks you are awesome just the way you are. That part, he meant.
Drew is off to go high-five random people, because who doesn’t love a good
high-five? No one, that’s who.
