Find out how it ends…   After a crazy summer spent facing ghosts, monstrous shapeshifters, and more than one self-declared Aztec god, Tegan Morgenstern is ready to get back to her mundane life. The only magic she wants in her world is the connection she shares with Xol, her soulmate. But when her attempt to help one of his tribesmen goes awry, Tegan must move beyond her mundane life to fix what she has broken. However, she isn’t the only one with a problem to solve. Tezcatlipoca has troubles of his own, but unlike Tegan, he believes he has the solution: her. He’s willing to assist with her troubles, if she’ll help with his, but the last thing Tegan wants is to work with him again. Determined to find her own solution, Tegan delves deep into the magical world she has always shunned, but no one has the answers she seeks. With no other option, she is forced to consider Tezcatlipoca’s offer, but giving him what he wants comes at a price Tegan isn’t willing to pay. Now, she’ll have to embrace all that she is to make things right. Can she find the courage to be the goddess Tezcatlipoca always declared her to be, or will he have his way in the end?

A Dog Person in a Cat World

Posted by on Jan 31, 2021 in Fun Stuff | Comments Off on A Dog Person in a Cat World

The following is a bit of silliness from a recent newsletter, inspired by my Night Traveler Series… Cats and dogs: an age old conflict that’s been around since we started sharing our campfires with them. And though it’s fine to claim to love them both, I’ve found that most folks favor one over the other. Myself, I’ve always fallen on the dog side of the continuum—which brings me to my current situation. Since the passing of my Jack Russell Terrier, I’ve spent the last few years in a cat exclusive household. It’s been a bit of an adjustment for me. For example, if I drop a piece of food on the floor, I have to pick it up. The dog would have snapped that morsel out of the air before it hit the ground, but the cat just looks at me with disdain. I’m not sure if she doesn’t care for the lump of barbecue sitting on the linoleum, or if she thinks I’m slob. Then there’s the social distancing. With my dog, if you were stationary for more than a few seconds, he was snuggled up beside you, but the cat has practiced keeping her distance long before COVID-19 got here. There have been many occasions where we’ve searched the house, trying to find her, only to discover her napping just out of sight, ignoring us. I’m sure she thinks humans are terrible at the game of hide and seek. Now before my cat-loving friends get upset with me, this is all tongue-in-cheek. We have a wonderful cat and I’m very fond of her. But the fact remains that I really don’t get cats. Perhaps that’s why the main characters in my Night Traveler series are canids and their perplexing adversary is a jaguar. I guess it’s just a case of write what I know. So how about you? Which side of the cat-dog continuum do you fall on? If you’re a Facebook user, you can check out some pictures of Jack Russell on this post on my page. As for our cat… <–  The picture shows her option of this...

Just Published: Iron Tears

Posted by on Jul 19, 2020 in Iron Souls, My Books | Comments Off on Just Published: Iron Tears

My novella Iron Tears was originally published as part of the multi-author bundle Caught In Crystal. Since that bundle is no longer available, I’ve just published Iron Tears as a unique title. Cover, blurb, and retailer links below.     After her mother’s tragic death, Kali finds herself alone in the world—until a newspaper article accuses her mother of witchcraft. Now Kali can’t even drown her sorrows at the tavern without attracting the attention of local bullies, as well as an enigmatic stranger who comes to her aid. Perseus has no trouble stopping the bar fight—much to Kali’s annoyance at being denied a good brawl. But when he insists that she is only half human, like him, she decides it is best that they part ways. But avoiding her new acquaintance isn’t as easy as she hoped. Not when she is confronted by the cloaked man Perseus is hunting. When the man recognizes her mother’s filigree-covered tear catcher, Kali sees in him a possible link to the past and answers to her own mysterious ancestry. If Perseus doesn’t kill him first.

But now that she has faced the monsters from her past, she is free to explore a side of herself she has long denied—until she comes to the attention of Tezcatlipoca, a talented shapeshifter named for an Aztec god. It seems she has piqued his interest, but figuring out his true intentions will have to wait. In the waking world, Tegan must watch her friend Xol gradually lose control of his own shamanistic magic, opening him to possession by an ancestral spirit. Xol is losing large chunks of time, unable to remember where he’s been or what he’s been doing. But when local law enforcement discovers the blood of a murder victim in Xol’s vehicle, things go from bad to worse. Out of options, Tegan has no choice but to accept the help of Tezcatlipoca. The arrogant immortal seems confident that he can exorcise Xol, but the question remains: what will the self-declared god demand in return?
