Hello! For those of you who follow my blog, you’re no doubt aware that I love chatting with authors and talking about their books. But today I’m absolutely ecstatic about a brand new dark comedy heist novel hitting shelves this fall. So grab a plate of fried fairy wings and a gallon of grog, because we’re going to tromp underground to the caverns of New Metta as we hang out with author Sarah J. Sover. Her debut book, Double-Crossing the Bridge is a hysterical, twisted romp that follows an unemployed ex-teacher who nearly gets eaten by her students.
But perhaps my love for this story goes deeper.
Sarah’s been a dear writer friend and critique partner for the past several years, and I adore her twisted sense of humor. I’ve read Double-Crossing the Bridge twice, both an early iteration and a few months back when she was putting the final touches to her pages. Both times had me trapped between a five-alarm bell on my gag reflex or laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.
If you love dark and twisted comedy with a dash of WTF, here’s a quick blurb to give readers an idea of what they’re getting into:
Rent in New Metta is through the cavern ceiling. When Granu barely survives her first gig teaching students who attempt to fillet her for lunch, the baby-eating troll ends up unemployed and facing eviction. Granu’s only prospect for income is grueling work in the tar pits. That is, until her playboy best friend devises a perfect, if suicidal, scheme—a heist!
The Covered Bridge, the largest source of income for the city, has New Metta well under hoof. In a week, TCB Corporation pulls in enough cash to buy a small country. It’s the ideal target, but security is top-notch. Granu needs three things to survive this heist: a crew of specialists, impenetrable sun protection, and gallons of grog.
There’s just one thing Granu doesn’t plan for—those damn meddling billy goats.
And now without further ado because I’m practically squirming in my seat, the utterly fantastic cover for Double-Crossing the Bridge:

I will never be able to look at this cover enough. It is everything, and so on-point with this fantastic tale.
