Join Me Next Month at Talking Leaves Books

Talking Leaves Books

I’m super excited to be heading back to my hometown Buffalo to do a reading event for The Seventh Pleiade at Talking Leaves Books.

The event is Saturday, May 17th 3:00PM at Talking Leaves Main Street store (3158 Main Street). Join me for a reading and a discussion, and of course bring a copy of the book or buy one at the store for a signing. 🙂

The event is also posted here on Goodreads if you would like to RSVP to attend.

Talking Leaves Books is Buffalo’s oldest independent book store, and this event is really special to me since I spent a lot of time there in high school and during visits back home. Many thanks to owner and founder Jonathon Welch for hosting the event! I’m so glad that the stores are thriving while so many brick-and-mortar booksellers have disappeared over the years.

Jacks is Back: Release Day for Werecat, Book 2

I’m happy to announce that the next installment in my Werecat series is out today.

Werecat: The Glaring continues Jacks Dowd’s adventure in the terrifying and erotic world of shifters.

Werecat: The Glaring

Free from Benoit, the man who made him a shifter, twenty-two-year old Jacks tries to get on his own two feet while crashing with Farzan, the only person who knows about his werecat nature. It will take a grueling schedule of off-the-books jobs and a steady mantra of self-control.

Then a raid on a bodega pushes Jacks to transform into his mountain lion self to fend off a group of gun-wielding gangbangers.

Jacks scrambles to disguise the truth, but the incident leaves a thundering wake of questions. The police want to know what really happened to a freaked-out young thug in custody. Farzan, who has been crushing hard on Jacks since they met, begins to doubt that it’s safe to have Jacks living with him. Jacks wants to know where he belongs: with the man who took him in when no one else would or among his own kind. As he searches for answers, Jacks is confronted by a secret shifter society The Glaring. They have come to avenge the death of Jacks’ maker and to claim a powerful item that Benoit left behind.

You can buy the e-book for $2.99 at All Romance E-Books, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Some fun promotions will be coming soon!

Many thanks to the team at Vagabondage Press for bringing this latest project to life: my editor N. Apythia Morges, book cover designer Maggie Ward, and managing editor Fawn Neun.

It’s the same model from The Rearing with a new profile and a hint at what’s to come in Jacks “Cherokee” Dowd’s latest adventure. All credit to Maggie Ward at Vagabondage Press. We went back and forth a bit conceptually, but Maggie put in the real work making the cover come to life.

Werecat: The Glaring will be available for purchase February 28th. I’m hugely excited about it. Some more hints about the story and promotions will be coming soon!

No other way to describe it, tonight’s fantasy-themed program at the REZ Reading Series was amazing!

Tim Fredrick read from his near-future technology dystopia short story. Daniel W. Kelly gave an excerpt from his paranormal horror recent release No Place for Little Ones. Nora Olsen read from her young adult science fiction novel Swans and Klons. Charlie Vazquez shared a passage from his book of Puerto Rican folklore-inspired paranormal shorts. I read the first few pages from my young adult fantasy The Seventh Pleiade.

Many thanks to all the readers, our fabulous audience, the wonderful folks at Odradek’s Coffee House and REZ Reading Series founder Deborah Emin!
