    About this ebook

    Losing Demonicon

    “I wish I had better news,” Jabuitcabron said, making my insides sag with further defeat. “No matter what we do, how hard we fight, we are losing by the hour, my Ruler.”

    I nodded. “So much for Xeoniteridone’s declarations of peace and love.”

    Jabut shrugged as Sassafras snorted next to me.

    “Peace and love my furry butt,” the Persian snapped. “More like lie and cheat and steal until there’s nothing left.”

    Demonicon is coming apart at the seams, the Node holding the planes together separating with barely a complaint, and there is nothing Meira or her friends can do about it. Even the mighty drach, the first race, are at a loss to stop the Planeless leader from tearing her world apart. And though the young and worried Ruler faces defeat, losing Demonicon might be her only hope.

    Patti Larsen

    About me, huh? Well, my official bio reads like this: Patti Larsen is a multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in her head. But that sounds so freaking formal, doesn’t it? I’m a storyteller who hears character's demands so loudly I have to write them down. I love the idea of sports even though sports hate me. I’ve dabbled in everything from improv theater to film making and writing TV shows, singing in an all girl band to running my own hair salon.But always, always, writing books calls me home.I’ve had my sights set on world literary domination for a while now. Which means getting my books out there, to you, my darling readers. It’s the coolest thing ever, this job of mine, being able to tell stories I love, only to see them all shiny and happy in your hands... thank you for reading.As for the rest of it, I’m short (permanent), slightly round (changeable) and blonde (for ever and ever). I love to talk one on one about the deepest topics and can’t seem to stop seeing the big picture. I happily live on Prince Edward Island, Canada, home to Anne of Green Gables and the most beautiful red beaches in the world, with my pug overlord and overlady, six lazy cats and Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn.
