The
Thrice Cursed Mage Book #1
My
name is Mac Brennan and that’s the only thing I can remember about myself. Not
why I woke up in a dumpster. Not why my right arm is as black as pitch and
covered in glowing red tattoos, and certainly not why a vicious death cult is
after me.
Actually,
that last part isn’t true. I know why the death cult is after me. It’s because
I saved that damned girl from them. I didn’t know who she was at the time, but
I’d have done it anyway. I just don’t like it when girls get beat up, call me
old fashioned.
Still,
I can tell she’s hiding something behind those devilish eyes, and if I want to
find out what it is, I’ll have to help her.
My
name is Mac Brennan. I have no memory, and I’m a werewolf-hunting,
hellfire-flinging version of Faust himself.

My Review
“Wait, did you say werewolf?” Cursed has all the spins, thrills, and fantasy that make it a worthwhile read. Cursed begins with Mac Brennan
coming out of a dumpster. He struggles to remember who he is, why he has a weird
tattoo, and why he landed in garbage. He ditches the dumpster to heroically
rescue a nearby woman who is in the throes of assault; he realizes he must save
her…and he does. It’s a true urban fantasy/epic journey that will keep you
entertained throughout. Bravo J.A.!

Biography
When
J.
A. Cipriano was in second grade, his teacher gave everyone in class a
journal to write down whatever they wanted. Their first subject was to write
about something they didn't like. J. A. chose to write about why he didn't like
writing. His reasoning was simple. He had bad handwriting. Even then, he was
destined to be an engineer due to his messy scrawl.
Unfortunately, he found through the course of this little adventure that he actually liked writing. That year was sort of the high point for his writing career because he won a writing contest for the state. He got to go to a big dinner and his teacher was all dressed up.
He kept writing little stories, year after year, and in sixth grade, won another contest. In seventh grade, he broke his arm and got the cast signed by both Dean Koontz and Stan Lee. It is, by far, the coolest cast he's owned. That was about the time he found video games and anime. His writing turned mostly toward fanfiction until about ninth grade when he wrote his first novel, a small book about twenty thousand words called Revelations. In sophomore year, he wrote two more books to complete the trilogy because he saw Star Wars that year and learned trilogies were the cool thing to do.
He rewrote Revelations during his senior year, and his wife swears it is the best thing he's written. J.A. is not so sure. Every time he reads it, he cringes, but then again, he hates everything he writes, so there is that.
It was about that time, he got heavily involved in a fanfiction writing group, but that isn't one hundred percent accurate. It was a world based on a popular anime but everything was created especially for this world. It made it so that every story someone wrote was unique.
Imagine writing a Star Wars novel set 1,000 years after A New Hope, where everything that happened was a distant memory and you get the idea. You have the force, some distant memories of the past, and that's pretty much it.
He wrote about a million words (863K to be exact) for them before he decided to do his own thing. He wrote another novel. He put it in a drawer. He wrote another one that eventually became the basis for The Hatter is Mad. His next novel was Kill It With Magic, his first real novel. It's not bad, but it's bumpy. This is unfortunate because the books get loads better as the series progresses.
Since then, he's written six more novels, four of which are in the Lillim Callina Series, and one in the Abby Banks series. The other is stuck in a drawer for time undetermined. He's writing his next book now which is about werewolves fighting mummies in Ancient Egypt. After that, he will move onto Abby Banks 2. The Spy Within will come out in June or July.

J.A. also has three chinchillas. Two of them are grey, and because of this, they are named Slate and Cadmium. The third is named Jet because he's black, and Jet is old English for black. See, creative. He also has a cat named Turtle. This does pose problems for his two-year-old from time to time.
