To Hell and Back with Bill Blume

Discussion Community Club Literature

What’s Happening?

Our friend Bill Blume is back! He'll be talking with Sarah Glenn Marsh at the store.

About the Book:
For one pair of swordfighters, their marriage is worth going to Hell and back.

Ty and Dani are a modern-day, husband and wife swordfighting duo who help with exorcisms until a demon kills Dani's mother and all of their fellow exorcists. Now, they're on a quest for revenge through the realms of Hell, and killing the demon is just the start of the journey. To keep the demon from reviving, Ty and Dani must escape Hell within seven days and cast the demon's head and heart into an Eternal Flame. To get back to the mortal realm in time, they rely on their small terrier Wicket to lead them past the demon's army and thousands of other horrors.

To Hell and Back takes readers on an epic journey perfect for those who believe love can overcome any challenge and that a devoted dog makes the perfect guide no matter where they need to go.

About the Author:
Bill Blume's love for the written word started in high school with an addiction to comic books that was hijacked by novels such as Frankenstein and Dragonflight. The first book in his young adult, vampire hunter series, Gidion's Hunt, was published back in 2013. His YA spy thriller novel The Dragon Spy is nominated for multiple Indieverse Awards. Just like the father figure in his "Gidion Keep" novels, Bill has worked as a 911 dispatcher for more than two decades. He also spent ten years working as a board member for James River Writers.

Sarah Glenn Marsh has been an avid fantasy reader since the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life. She believes we all deserve happy endings and is an author of books for everyone, including many young adult, middle grade, and picture book titles. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her family, including one sweet daughter, one slightly dull sword, and the chaos of many pets, like a turtle named Muffin who she definitely did not bring back from any haunted swamp. Rogues is her first adult novel.
