Welcome, supplicants! Kneel on the cool marble and lift your faces up in the light of the stained glass. I’ve got an incandescently beautiful cover reveal for you today, plus details about a very cool, very sexy event I’m doing as part of Orbit’s Writing Your First SFF Novel series!
Revealing EVOCATION’s Final Cover
I'm thrilled to unveil the cover for EVOCATION, book one in my urban fantasy romance series. Evocation kicks off the Summoner's Circle series, and follows David, a psychic medium and hotshot lawyer, who must team up with his sorcerer ex-boyfriend and the ex's witch wife to break a family curse. Forced proximity, magic lessons, and polyamory ensure, all against the moody backdrop of Boston.
I'm absolutely breathless with what a phenomenal job artist Eleonor Piteira and designer Alice Coleman have done bringing David to life, and I'm indebted to the entire Angry Robot crew for all they do for me. They are truly some of the kindest and hardest working people in the book business.
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.
EVOCATION hits shelves in May of 2024, so there's still time to preorder from any of your favorite retailers! Preorders are a big help to authors, as they demonstrate audience interest to retailers and publishers and can even help books hit lists! You can also add the book to Goodreads, or post about it on socials using the hashtag #manifestingevocation.
Writing Romance Panel With Orbit
I’m truly honored to be featured alongside some phenomenal authors as part of Orbit’s Writing Your First SFF Novel Series, and I’m going to be talking about writing love triangles and triads on November 7th at 1pm ET.
Romance can be a huge part of a novel, regardless of the genre. Whether you’re writing about an angsty love triangle or a happily-married couple, your characters’ relationships will have profound effects on their story. The authors on this panel will discuss some of the permutations romantic relationships might take, and how they affect characterization and plot.
