BOUND IN PINCERS
An October Winters Novella
October Winters is a sassy, foul-mouthed witch with a peculiar taste for darkness. After being on the run for a year, she finds herself returning to the tawdry trenches of Hollywood to avoid pesky bounty hunters, moronic demons, and the greatest evil known to mankind: her boss.
Barely scraping by with a leather jacket, her scorpion familiar, and a possessed 1995 Camaro, October thinks she's finally found peace within the mundane. It isn't until she's cornered by the Devil himself on the eve of her 1000th birthday where she's given the ultimatum of her life:
Deliver him 999 souls in 24 hours. One soul for every year she has taken breath. Anything less and she can kiss this world goodbye.
Her immortal days are numbered. And when life's expiration date is just over the horizon, a gal's gotta get a little creative.
