\"Vortex<\/p>\n

I’m thrilled to report that Vortex: Book Three of the Veins Cycle<\/em><\/a> is now available.<\/p>\n

Illustrated by Rhonda Libbey<\/a> and produced by Fantasist Enterprises<\/a> — the press known for illustrated fantasy books such as Blood and Devotion<\/em><\/a>, Modern Magic<\/em><\/a>, The Stories in Between<\/em><\/a>, and others — Vortex<\/em> goes on sale today across all major retail platforms.<\/p>\n

So whether you have been following the books from the beginning or just hearing about the Veins Cycle<\/a> for the first time, I hope you’ll consider climbing aboard for the final stretch of this wild and crazy ride.<\/p>\n

Need more incentive?<\/p>\n

Check out the following testimonials from Joe McKinney, Jon Sprunk, Stephanie Wytovich, John Dixon, and Simon Kurt Unsworth:<\/p>\n

\"deadcity\"<\/a>\u201cThere are two ways to read a Lawrence C. Connolly novel. If Vortex<\/em> is your first encounter with Connolly, just strap on your seat belt and enjoy the ride. He has a knack for writing compulsively readable action that will have you turning pages as fast as you can and will leave you panting for air by the time you\u2019re done. But if you\u2019ve been following this cycle from its beginnings in Veins<\/em> and Vipers<\/em>, you know that there\u2019s a deeper side to Connolly, one that comes only from slowing down and taking a leisurely swim in the mastery of his prose. Few writers understand their characters with the same depth, and empathy, that Connolly does. He leaves me in awe. Every time. I am a Connolly fan through and through.\u201d
\n\u2014Joe McKinney, Award-winning author of Dead City<\/em><\/a>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Blood-and-Iron-Jon-Sprunk\"<\/a>\u201cWith the Veins Cycle, Lawrence C. Connolly creates a world that is eerily familiar to our own, but with hidden surprises around every turn (and page). Writing with power and precision, Connolly evokes sights and sounds that haunt us. Vortex<\/em> is a book you won\u2019t be able to put down.\u201d
\n\u2014Jon Sprunk, author of Blood & Iron<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cConnolly delivers a fast-paced mystery with a heavy helping of magical realism that will lose readers in a mystical and frightening world that they won\u2019t want to slither out of.\u201d
\n\u2014Stephanie M. Wytovich, author of Hysteria <\/em><\/a>and Mourning Jewelry<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"18143994\"<\/a>\u201cDelightfully dissonant. Unbridled imagination meets impeccable storytelling. Connolly is amazing that way, like the bull and the matador rolled into one. His work is crazy imaginative and yet absolutely sane in its delivery, reminiscent of other masters of dissonance such as Clifford Simak and Philip K. Dick.\u201d
\n\u2014John Dixon, author of Phoenix Island<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cVortex<\/em> is the fiction of Wurlitzers and rollercoasters, of fire, of violence and monsters, but it\u2019s so much more than that. This is gleeful, intelligent stuff that deserves the widest audience possible. It\u2019s a hell of a ride and I, for one, cannot wait to see where Connolly takes us next.\u201d
\n\u2014Simon Kurt Unsworth, author of The Devil\u2019s Detective<\/a>
