About me:
I am a dark fantasy author. My debut novel, Tourniquet: Tales From The Renegade City is published by Immanion Press.
Set in grand-gothika Renegade City, Tourniquet is a tale of dead messiahs, brutal loss, unrequited love, and blazing motorbikes. It incorporates all that is flesh and blood me; the rock scene, alternative lifestyles, cyber-culture, bikes, hot rods, hard liquor, dark desires, and lurid living.
I’m passionate about all aspects of transgression, from freedom of creativity to gender bending to an individual’s right to dress as wildly as they see fit. I like to think I’m well placed to connect with my readers, having a lazy-hazy attitude to maturity, an eclectic dress sense, and a healthy dollop of vanity on the side.
TOURNIQUET IS OFFICIALLY RELEASED 21ST MAY 2007.
AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON, IMMANION PRESS, KIMLAKIN-SMITH.COM AND INDEPENDENT RETAIL OUTLETS.
Tourniquet: Tales From The Renegade City
by Kim Lakin-Smith
Renegade City. Futurist gothika. Mecca of the
damned. A world where über rock-band, Origin, is deified and the world's
dark sub-cultures coexist under the umbrella faith of Belief.
Roses, the great gothic messiah is dead, the tribes are in turmoil,
and home-bred rebels, the drifters, are quickly becoming a law unto
themselves.
The last thing that Druid, Origin's drummer and reclusive high
lord of the Drathcor, wants to do is hunt his brother's killer -
especially since he's not so sure of foul play, or even the
purity of his motives. But against all of his expectations,
he is soon embroiled with the underbelly of dissension, dirty politics,
and a non-believer as jaded with Renegade's great and secret
show as he is. Street punk, Jezebel, is also on a quest to track her brother, a Skinwalker. Trouble is, they're
a violent breed.
In league with a strawberry switchblade assortment of freaks, geeks,
and greebos, this living god and living dead girl find their paths
interlinked for a series of cataclysmic events that will tear at
mutual bonds, unmask a fresh face of hate, and forge new breeds
of magick...
