An Update Post

Checking in to let people know a few things. First, The Vine Witch ebook is on sale in the U.S. all this month on Amazon for $2.49! If you've been curious to read this one, the price doesn't get any better than that.

Second, I've been MIA around here while finishing up my latest novel, which I turned in to the editor last Thursday! This is my 1920s Hollywood story, and should be out sometime next spring. I'll update the official release date when I know more.

I’m always a little fried by the time I finish a novel and get it turned in. It always takes me a few days to decompress and recover from the stress of writing every day to make my deadline. I usually get just enough downtime to recover before it's time to jump into developmental edits and start writing the next novel. :)

A Conspiracy of Magic Series On Sale!

Just a quick note to let people know The Raven Spell and The Raven Song e-books are both on sale during the entire month of July in the U.S. market. Good time to pick up the complete series if you’ve been curious to read this one! (Amazon)

The Raven Spell:

In Victorian England a witch and a detective are on the hunt for a serial killer in an enthralling novel of magic and murder by the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of The Vine Witch.

After a nearly fatal blow to the skull, traumatized private detective Ian Cameron is found dazed and confused on a muddy riverbank in Victorian London. Among his effects: a bloodstained business card bearing the name of a master wizard and a curious pocket watch that doesn’t seem to tell time. To retrieve his lost memories, Ian demands answers from Edwina and Mary Blackwood, sister witches with a murky past. But as their secret is slowly unveiled, a dangerous mystery emerges on the darkened streets of London.

To help piece together Ian’s lost time, he and Edwina embark on a journey that will take them from the river foreshore to an East End music hall, and on to a safe house for witches in need of sanctuary from angry mortals. The clues they find suggest a link between a series of gruesome murders, a missing person’s case, and a dreadful suspicion that threatens to tear apart the bonds of sisterhood. As the investigation deepens, could Ian and Edwina be the next to die?

The Raven Song:

Forever untangling the branches of her strange family tree, Edwina Blackwood is at a turning point. Her parents’ disappearances still strike her as unaccountably odd. Her sister’s questionable life and untimely death have left her shaken. Spellfire has transformed her home and livelihood to ash. And now a devious stalker is on her trail. With supernatural detective Ian Cameron by her side, Edwina can’t get out of London fast enough.

Gaining safe passage, she finds refuge with Sir Henry Elvanfoot, famed wizard of the north, and is promised protection from ill-aimed curses. But in this unfamiliar city of fair folk and witches, where the veil between Earth and the Otherworld is about to be lifted, something is amiss. How else to explain Edwina’s sudden prophetic visions? Or the fear that surviving whoever pursues her will require the powers of an ancient bloodline she’s only beginning to comprehend?

Whatever destiny awaits, it’s Edwina’s to finally control. Where will it lead? Only time, cunning, and magic—in this world or the Other—will tell.

*Scam Alert: Imitation the Sincerest Form of Flattery?

Doesn’t feel like flattery when someone is impersonating you on social media. Just a heads up that someone on Facebook is posing as me at the moment and contacting other authors, and likely not in a flattering way. I’m not on Facebook. Never have been. Never will be. Apologies to anyone who followed or interacted with this account believing it was me.

*Update: I’ve learned this person is trying to sell marketing “advice” to authors on Facebook. Please don’t engage with any account on Facebook using my name. They are imposters. If you are contacted by them, please report the account as fraudulent. Thank you!

**While we’re here, I also did not employ ghost writers to pen any of my novels despite various websites claiming just that. They, too, are only after your money and will do nothing for your writing career or help you get published.
