Chalk your ceremonial circle on the ground and sprinkle some warding herbs; I’ve got a shiny new update for you.
News
The pre-order link for EVOCATION, my upcoming urban fantasy romance series starter, is live on the Angry Robot website! Other buy links (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and so on) will be filtering out closer to the publication date in summer of 2024, but this is your early access link!
When a family curse threatens David’s life, he will turn to the only person he’s ever trusted, his ex-boyfriend, Rhys – which means he will have to open his heart to Moira, Rhys’s wife.
The day David Aristarkhov’s occultist father died, he bought himself an Audi, drank every drop of liquor in the house, and abandoned his life as a teen psychic prodigy. Now pushing thirty, David is a Boston attorney, moonlighting as a medium for a secret society.
But when the Devil comes to collect on a deal David’s ancestor made, he reluctantly reaches out to his ex-boyfriend Rhys for help. However, to get to Rhys, David will have to befriend Moira, Rhys’s wife. The trio gets a little too close for comfort as they combine their powers to unravel the century-old curse, and if they don’t break the curse by David’s thirtieth birthday, he won’t live long enough for everyone to figure out their feelings for each other.
There’s still time to request an arc, as well! Arc requests received before July 31, 2023 will be considered to receive extra special merch and swag along with an arc.
AN EDUCATION IN MALICE Content Warnings
Recently I posted the full list of content warnings for AN EDUCATION IN MALICE to Goodreads. EDUCATION is dark in a different way than A DOWRY OF BLOOD was. It’s still about desire and love, and it still features a core romance that ends with a happy for now, but it hones in on the corrosive nature of obsession between professors and students in toxic academic environments. This might not be your cup of tea, or it might be right up your alley, and that’s the beauty of content warnings!
Should you choose to proceed with this book, please read with self-compassion. You can check out the full list in a screen-reader friendly format at the link below, and add the book to Goodreads.
Events
On Saturday May 20th I’ll be live and in person at LadiesCon in Somerville, MA, discussing Women and Their Monsters with Cat Scully, Gillian Daniels, and Lindsay Moore. Admission is free, so mark you calendars! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Everything I’ve Been Loving Lately
Between my day job, agenting, and writing, I’ve been quite the busy bee, but I have been stealing some time at night to read the second book in Kathryn Moon’s Tempting Monsters series, IN THE COMPANY OF FIENDS. Do you want to read about an actress in a magical theatre where monsters and humans put on bawdy shows falling in love with not one but five monstrous men? Of COURSE you do. If you want to spice up your summer (figuratively and literally) give this one a go!
That’s all I have for you this time, dear reader. Be safe and well until we two meet again.
