Happy Thanksgiving, New Books, and Great Giveaways!

Hey everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful for books, authors and readers. Books have gotten me through dark places, taught me about the world, shaped my perspectives, and given me forever fictional friends. Most of my social circle now consists of other authors, and I am so grateful for their friendship and guidance. And of course, I’m thankful for readers because you make all the books possible!

There’s lot of new stuff, just in time for the holidays, and perfect for cozying up with a good book!

Lucky Town, the new Christmas Badlands novella, is perfect for the holidays! Psychic medium Simon Kincaide and his boyfriend, Myrtle Beach homicide detective Vic D’Amato, find that the only thing more frightening than murder might be navigating their first holiday season as a couple. 

A trip back to Pittsburgh to spend Thanksgiving with Vic’s large, exuberant family means dodging old frenemies and a bitter ex-boyfriend. A cold case comes back to haunt Vic when the murdered man’s ghost begs Simon for justice. Then a new murder back in Myrtle Beach looks suspiciously familiar, and the dead woman’s ghost isn’t playing nice. When Simon gets a vision of the next victim before the crime occurs, he realizes that all the murders are supernaturally linked. Catching the murderer will take his psychic sleuthing skills along with Vic’s street smarts to avert a tragedy. Can they do right by ghosts past, present and yet-to-come without ending up in the crosshairs of a killer for Christmas?  Lucky Town is now available in ebook and print.

Badlands hit #1 in LGBT Fantasy for a couple of weeks, and remains in the top 10!

Medium and clairvoyant Simon Kincaide owns a Myrtle Beach boardwalk shop where he runs ghost tours, holds seances, and offers private psychic readings, making a fresh start after his abilities cost him his lover and his job as a folklore professor. Jaded cop Vic D’Amato saw something supernatural he couldn’t explain during a shootout several years ago in Pittsburgh and relocated to Myrtle Beach to leave the past behind, still skeptical about the paranormal.  But when the search for a serial killer hits a dead end, Vic battles his skepticism to ask Simon for help. As the body count rises, Simon’s involvement makes him a target, and a suspect. But Simon can’t say no, even if it costs him his life and heart

4.75 stars! “exciting, romantic, sexy, and intense” —Joyfully Jay on Badlands
