No Promises Large Enough - Lowe, Tristram

. .

Résumé :
After their world was turned upside down, two journalists race to uncover the supernatural force driving Japan's criminal underworld while coming to terms with their own emerging powers. The head-collecting serial killer was only the beginning. Akio and Masami find themselves more than a little changed from the experience. Now the demon hunter who helped them has gone missing, and his brainy teenage apprentice requests their help. To track him down, they must confront Japan's most powerful and dangerous criminal organization: the yakuza. Fueled by a supernatural secret, the gangsters are expanding at an alarming rate, set to take over all of Japan, perhaps even the world. As the two reporters struggle with their new abilities, they must face and defeat who or what is behind the aggressive yakuza syndicate.

Biographie:
Tristram Lowe writes about monsters, and sometimes, scary things too. He is a student of the Japanese language and culture and a lifelong fantasy reader. He is also a competitive fencing coach, so it's likely a sword fight or two will show up in his books. Tristram has been crafting fantastical tales since the first grade, when he penciled a spooky story about a haunted house in his Big Chief tablet. Raised in the mountains of Colorado, he spent two or three lifetimes in Los Angeles, and now enjoys hikes through mossy trees and rainy board game nights in Oregon with his wife, their son, and their elderly cat.

Sommaire:
Hi, I'm Tristram Lowe. I write mostly fantasy of some flavor or another, with a focus on reluctant heroes, underdogs, and misunderstood monsters. I much prefer exploring the internal struggle over the outward sweeping actions of confident rulers and superheroes.The first two books of my urban fantasy thriller series, The Ghost and The Mask, are out and available. The first book, Headless, is about a couple of journalists in Tokyo investigating a serial killer who is chopping off heads-and keeping them. Masami is a top staff writer at a newspaper and she gets stuck on the assignment with Akio, a newbie staff photographer. The closer they get to the story, the stranger things become. I also wrote a fun and uplifting children's book called The Wrong Monster, which has great artwork by Jiyoon Shin. You'll love the monster and the positive message.Other than writing, I love fencing (and taught it for 15 years) and tabletop games. I narrate books, was an actor for a time, and wrote and played music in bands and solo for many years, all of it under another name. I currently live in Oregon with my amazing wife and kiddos. To pronounce Tristram correctly, simply put these two words together: Tryst (a clandestine meeting between lovers) + Rum (a hearty pirate's drink). Combined you have TrystRum: a hearty drink to be shared by clandestine pirate lovers....
