We have much pleasure in announcing The Judas Kiss Virtual Book Tour, beginning Monday April 29th and continuing through to midnight on Saturday May 11th, 2013 . This well-received urban fantasy has garnered some wonderful reviews: “The different tales, switching points of view, and Makabi’s written tale was superbly handled. I was taken with how real she made every single one of those historical settings. I know I’ve said it before, but it was truly incredible how so very real she made everyone, particularly in Makabi’s gospel. Nothing was stilted or stylized, and everyone was so beautifully human. If for no other reason, read The Judas Kiss for those chapters. No matter your creed (or absence of one), you can read this for the flavor, the richness, and the genuine passion and pain in Makabi’s voice. It lends an ocean of depth to Mark’s character. Being unable to ever go insane, given what he’s lived through, is a version of hell made all the more tangible when he makes his childhood –so long ago– *that* real for the reader.” Delena Silverfox

About the Book
Title: The Judas Kiss
Author: Angella Graff
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Excerpt: Mark’s Story
Booksellers: Amazon, Createspace
Judas’ Kiss haunts him 2 millennia into his unending existence. Torn between petty gods and their hunger for power, a faithless police officer slips further into machinations that have already cost the life of someone he loved. Mark’s story finally begins to unfold in the newest volume of Angella Graff’s well received series: The Judas Curse.
Just as Detective Ben Stanford is ready to put the past at rest, he’s pulled down once again into the chaos of gods, theology, and mystery. Told that his sister is alive and the two immortals, Mark and Judas, have been kidnapped by the treacherous goddess, Nike, Ben must find a way to rescue the pair before she can harness their powers.
While Mark waits alone, forced to write out the story of how their powers came to be, and Judas lay tortured by the angry Goddess, a reluctant Ben must enlist the help of an unwilling being from the ancient Norse Pantheon.
Time is ticking, and the hard-headed detective must use everything he learned in the past to prevent another disaster, which could potentially wipe-out the human race.

About the Author
Angella Graff was born and raised in the desert city of Tucson, Arizona. She married and became a mother very young, and after getting started with her family, began her University studies where she found her passion for creative writing, history and theology.
She now resides in Tucson with her husband Joshua, three children, Christian, Isabella and Adia, and their three cats, Archive (Ivy), Lasciel and Fix. She prefers to spend her days writing, gardening, and reading non-fiction theology theory books. Angella is also an avid, if not fanatic fan of Doctor Who and BBC Sherlock, which tend to dominate her dry, sarcastic humor, a lot of which is apparent in her writing.
Currently Angella is working on an Urban Fantasy series called The Judas Curse, involving extensive research into Mythos, Christianity and history. The first book of The Judas Curse, The Awakening, was released November 2012.
For more information, visit Angella’s website, Amazon page and follow her on Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads.

Loved books 1 & 2, can’t wait for this next part of the story.
Angella is an amazing writer… Congratulations!
I have to concur with you, Stephanie – I loved the books!
Congratulations, Angella. You are a very talented writer and I hope you keep on writing!
Just wanted to thank you for bringing this series of books to my attention. I am always looking for new urban fantasy stories, especially those with strong character and plot development. This series fits the bill. Many thanks.
Thanks everyone for the comments, you’re all super fantastic! Seriously, you’ve made this fabulous so far and it’s only getting better!
The praise is truly well-deserved, Angella. Not many books hook me in the way this series has.
Virtual book tours are getting so popular right now! One of my clients is a best selling crime author and he really enjoys the virtual tour. It’s the way of the future. Right?
Are you planning any in-person appearances as well? Like at B&N or other stores?
Samantha Gluck- Not at the present time. I did a book signing at the Tucson Festival of Books this year at the University of Arizona which was great, and I might look into some other things, but for now my marketing is all virtual. 🙂
Loved book one and two – awesome series!
Very interesting, I enjoy mystery and intrigue with a religious/theological theme. I look forward to reading.
Harriet- Thanks!! I’m so glad you liked them!
Shawn- It’s definitely got all of those things 🙂 I love those elements in books, too. I hope you like them!
