Critical acclaim from Publisher’s Weekly and Curve Magazine
From Publisher’s Weekly about the forthcoming Coyote Blues:
“Grounded in kindness, queerness, and just a hint of magic, this is sure to satisfy.”
From Curve Magazine about As the Crow Flies:
“There are two romances for the price of one in this fascinating book, and the paranormal elements are skillfully woven through the entire story. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of ghost stories–I didn’t thing I was but this book convinced me otherwise…The settings were described using wonderful language and imagery and the quality of the writing overall was very high…I definitely recommend this book if you want something intellectual and a little bit different to sink your teeth into.”
As the Crow Flies Now Available as Audiobook
Just in time for Christmas!
As the Crow Flies is now available as an audiobook from Amazon, Audible, and Bold Strokes Books.
Happy Halloween
A country veterinarian meets a woman dressed as a witch on Halloween morning. I admit that I’ve always had a thing for a woman in black (conical hats a welcome accessory) but what also inspired this novel was my childhood fascination with the biblical race of giants—demigods who were said to be the offspring of “the sons of God and daughters of men.” Angels that mated with humans? Their misuse of superpowers got them in trouble and they were driven deep into the earth and sealed in caves forever. Hmm… While the other children in Sunday school (yes, my grandfather was a minister so there was no escaping Sunday school) loved the more popular “Noah’s Ark” and “Jonah and the Whale” stories, my interests bordered more on the esoteric, even as a kid. Those “giants” found a home in the dark caves of my imagination, and years later dug their way out and onto the pages of this contemporary Halloween love story. A fun October romance set against a fall landscape, it’s a light read with a touch of spooky, but for you armchair philosophers, there are some deeper ideas to ponder.
