ASCENSION Waterstones Special!

your occult boyfriends match now✨

Hey babe! I’m swinging through your inbox quick to finally reveal a secret: ASCENSION is getting a super sexy Waterstones special edition to match the EVOCATION Waterstones special edition! Feast your eyes on the trailer to uncover his many special features.

This hand-signed edition features exclusive endpapers, sprayed edges, golden firelight casefoil, a crimson ribbon bookmark, and let us not forget my favorite part: gold gilt on black hardcover boards. Eagle-eyed readers will notice that the three tarot cards from EVOCATION are back for this one, but Rhys’ card, The Chariot, is front and center.

Love and power make uneasy bedfellows.

As the youngest-ever High Priest of his secret Society, husband to brilliant witch Moira, and boyfriend to influential psychic David, Rhys McGowan has it all. Now he just has to keep it all whilst trying to save the Society from financial ruin, in-fighting, and sabotage from mysterious outsiders.

When leaked documents spark a local Satanic panic and bring the Society under fire, Rhys is willing to gamble everything, even his immortal soul, for more demonic assistance. Growing his retinue of spiritual assistants gives Rhys the magical prowess, charisma, and uncanny luck he needs to captain a sinking ship, but all power comes with a price. Rhys' mind begins to fracture under the strain of juggling so many demons -- and the stress of his loved ones exploring their attraction to other people.

As rumors spread like wildfire through the occult community and paranoia spreads, David and Moira will have to once again join forces to pull Rhys back from the brink. But you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved, and all the magic in the world won't prevent Rhys from having to make the ultimate choice: will he become a great man, or a good one?

If that isn’t enough to convince you, please enjoy this unhinged trope map I made.

EVENTS

This is your final call to join me at the Smithfield Barnes and Noble in Rhode Island this Friday the 22nd! I’ll be in house from 1-3 PM signing a big bundle of stock, so if you’d like to pick up a hand-signed edition of any of my books, or chat during a cheeky meet and greet, join us! This event is free and unticketed.

I’ll be back in your inbox soon with my March Apocrypha essay on the resting in order to excel or as I like to call it: self-care for ambitious bitches. It’s a little bit of a personal essay and a little bit of a how-to guide for burnt-out creatives trying to incorporate rest into their routines. Hop onto the paid tier so you don’t miss it!

Be safe and well until we meet again!
