Brace yourself as bestselling Game Design Director, Brian Freyermuth, ventures into the realm of mystical thrillers with 'Demon Dance', the intriguing first book in The Sundancer Mysteries series. Leave it to an ancient god to ruin a perfectly good afternoon. Nick St. James was born different. His extraordinary gifts have saved him time and time again, but they couldn't save the one thing he loved most: his wife. Now he just wants to forget his old life, but more importantly, he wants to forget the magical underworld that lives beneath the "real" world. A place where a man's faith can determine the very fabric of reality. Where ancient forgotten gods walk hidden among us, and angels and demons fight for our very souls. But nothing stays hidden forever. Nick's peaceful world is ripped apart when a demon slaughters his ex-partner and marks him for death. Now he must use all his gifts to find the one who summoned the nightmarish creature, but more importantly, he needs to find the one thing he lost long ago. Himself. "If you're a fan of Urban Fantasy, Demon Dance is sure to easily soar to the top of your favorites list." - Hopelessbibliophile.com "Holy cow. This one is a page turner from the very start." - Heather, Not Everyone's Mama "The book sucked me in and kept me hooked." - Loreen Weaver "I wasn't expecting such a mix of characters that work seamlessly together: the trickster coyote, angels, demons, trolls, vampires, old gods... it was intense and yet so wonderfully woven that I couldn't stop reading." - A Tiffyfit's Reading Corner "Nick St. James is a cross between Sam Spade and Harry Dresden-with, maybe, a Native American grandmother, his dead wife, and the ghost of Raymond Chandler as his spirit guides." - Barb Taubon You can run all you want, but the game's in your blood.

Author and video game designer, Brian Freyermuth, wants two things for his characters: hope and meaning. It doesn't matter if they are trying to survive an apocalypse in "Fallout", learn how to fly the Starship Enterprise in "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" or save Wasteland in "Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two". "Demon Dance" and "Mind of the Beast" are no exception. He and his wife Juliet collaborated to create a world where the supernatural is dependent on popular belief. Every character has hopes and purpose, whether it's a coffee barista who is learning Voodoo from her brother or a Norse Goddess who spends her days as a librarian. Brian is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America and the Horror Writers Association. His credits also include Minecraft: Story Mode, Tales From the Borderlands, Run Like Hell, WWE All Stars and Lichdom: Redeemer. He is currently working at TellTale Games. Brian and Juliet live in the beautiful wine country of Sonoma County. On weekends, they like to take day trips with their son to Bodega Bay, Armstrong Redwoods or Lake Chabot.
