No matter how long a writer has been working, no matter how much they write, or how often, they always feel their writing can be better. Well, the good ones, anyway. It’s something writer Megan Mackie realized while preparing the new reissue of her urban fantasy / cyberpunk novel The Finder Of The Lucky Devil, which originally came out in 2017, and kicked off her Lucky Devil series, and has now been released in paperback and digitally by eSpec Books.
It’s an exciting time to be urban fantasy / cyberpunk writer Megan Mackie (and a dangerous time to be a bookcase). Over the next few months, eSpec Books will be rereleasing three of her Lucky Devil novels, with a new one on the way, as well as reprinting the first book in the Saint Code spin off series, The Lost, which will also be getting a new installment as well. But first Mackie and eSpec have Death And The Crone (paperback, Kindle), another spin-off of the Lucky Devil series that has a bit of a romantic feel. In the following email interview, Mackie explains how these books all connect and what inspired this new side novel.
