Hockey And Vampires? "Blood On The Ice" Provides Both

May 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Denver, Colorado - Author Ian Thomas Healy today announced that his ebook, Blood on the Ice, is available for only $2.99 from all online retailers. Blood on the Ice combines the unlikely mix of sub-minor league ice hockey and vampires in a laugh-out-loud romp through the eclectic culture of small-town western Canada.

"Now that the NHL Conference Championships beginning, a lot of fans no longer have teams still playing," said Healy. "With Blood on the Ice, they can still get their hockey fix and a few chuckles into the bargain." Written as a spoof of the urban fantasy genre, the book pokes fun at numerous, more-serious efforts. "If you are sick of Twilight, you'll love this one," said Healy.

When a talented new player joins the perennially-losing sub-minor-league hockey team, the Fighting Aardvarks, it marks the beginning of a winning tradition. But things aren't as they seem, and players begin to change. First line center Hammie learns the truth: the Aardvarks are becoming vampires, and it's up to him to stop them before the infestation spreads beyond just the team.  Rife with on-ice hockey action, failed car chases, raw beef smoothies, and amateur dentistry, Blood on the Ice is sure to satisfy fans everywhere.
