Today, we're celebrating Elizabeth Richards, author of BLACK CITY! BLACK CITY is a post-apoc novel with one wicked-cool cover (so! pretty!). There's conspiracy, good vs. evil, a mix of humans and ...not humans, and more! Also? Her blog is called "The Red Pen of Doom." Yes.

your main character in five words:
Brooding, dangerous, sexy, sarcastic, brave
