Hey, check it —<\/span><\/p>\n

For today — yes, yes, blah blah, CYBORG MONDAY or whatever — my novel Bait Dog<\/strong> (which also contains the novella Shotgun Gravy<\/strong>) about a troubled teenage detective-slash-vigilante named Atlanta Burns is $1.99.<\/p>\n

Snippet of a review<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>from Govneh, aka “The Russian:”<\/p>\n

“This story is absolutely gripping. In true Atlanta style, our heroine willfully and knowingly throws herself into situations that are way over her head, armed with nothing but a sharp tongue, uncooperative attitude and at times, a shotgun. We watch, helpless, as she slowly digs herself into a deeper and deeper hole. Throughout, however, she remains unwilling to compromise what\u2019s right for what\u2019s easy. When presented with a chance to erase her mom\u2019s mortgage woes, to get one of the big players in town off her back, to remove herself from a volatile situation, Atlanta bargains the way Atlanta knows how-a big Fuck You with a shotgun shell.<\/p>\n

Wendig does well writing Atlanta both a petulant teen and an unwilling hero. On one hand she\u2019s surly, she\u2019s rude, she can\u2019t cope with her emotions and gets an F+ in \u2018plays nice with others\u2019. On the other, she\u2019ll go to hell and back for her friends, she\u2019ll stand up to the bad guys and she\u2019s not afraid to sacrifice to make sure people pay for what they\u2019ve done. Atlanta is strong but Atlanta is broken; she\u2019s a social pariah but the hero of the freaks, the geeks\u00a0 and the outcasts. It doesn\u2019t alwaysjust<\/em> get better, sometimes you have to make it better and if you need help, Atlanta is there.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
