Stacia Kane sold Personal Demons out of the slushpile to Paula Guran at Juno Books. According to Guran, “Personal Demons features therapist Megan Chase, who promises listeners to her new radio call-in show she’ll ‘slay their personal demons,’ and they believe her. So do the personal demons. Although she doesn’t know it, Megan is the only human in the world without a personal demon on her shoulder. This, coupled with her psychic abilities, makes her a valuable weapon for any demon ‘family’ that can gain her allegiance. It also makes her a serious threat not just to the personal demons, but to a soul-sucker from the Legion of Hell known as The Accuser. The Accuser already has an old score to settle with Megan, and sees this as the perfect time to do it. Megan does have allies: a demon lover who sets about both protecting and seducing her with devilish intensity, a witch with poor social skills, and three cockney guard demons named Malleus, Maleficarum, and Spud. But can they defeat not only The Accuser, the personal demons, and the ghosts of Megan’s past, but a reporter who threatens to destroy Megan’s career as well?”
Juno plans to publish in 2008.
