   Alex Bledsoe's Blurbs
About me:
I'm a writer from Tennessee now based in Wisconsin. My new novel, Blood Groove, about vampires in 1975 Memphis, is available from Tor Books and Blackstone Audio.

"Bram Stoker meets The Lost Boys. --Adrian Phoenix, author of A Rush of Wings

"Bledsoe...employs a suave, creepy style that suits the story." --Publishers Weekly

"One very sweet read." --Whitley Strieber, NYT bestselling author of The Hunger

Some background: I grew up in a town of 300 people, 250 of which were related to me in one way or another. There was no school once the fish-eyed brothers up the road burned it down, no public library, no cable TV and very little tolerance of anything that involved reading or writing. The road I lived on, which was actually within the city limits, wasn't paved until I was 11. The mayor for most of my childhood officially went by the name "Moose." I learned arcane skills like frog gigging, how to clean a catfish with just a nail and pliers, and how to drink an awful lot of Miller ponies. I bounced around as a reporter and photographer for a long time before finally deciding to get serious about writing. I sold my first short story within a month of this decision, and haven't looked back.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who's read any of my stuff. People with similar interests.

Chicks Dig Scars - Chapter One

Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?

S
et in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
