Killing Time Release date
Just got a release date from our editor at Loose Id for 'Killing Time' by Alexa and me; March 11th. If edits go well, and they usually do, it might be earlier.
This is a contemporary urban fantasy with sexy magic users, sassy cats, sentient computers and a nicely evil villain.
We had fun :-)

Killing Time Release date changed
The release date for Killing Time by Alexa and me has been moved up. Loose Id will now release it on February 25th.
Blurb and cover upcoming.
I'm currently finishing off a novella for Riptide and then I'll be revising two short stories I did years ago that are now out of print (Cat Scratch Fever and Driven by Destiny). Look for them in the free reads soon!

Killing Time blurb
'Killing Time' by Jane Davitt and Alexa Snow will be released by Loose Id on February 25th.
Max and Kaelan, best friends and business partners for five years, are powerful casters with a tendency to get themselves into and out of all kinds of trouble. Pretty much the only thing they've been able to avoid is getting romantically involved – until now. Their sexual attraction hits them like a runaway fireball and they can't keep their hands off each other.
While their sexual attraction burns out of control, they've attracted the attention of a dark caster named Jannes who's planning a spell so potent that it could end the world. To keep them off balance, he's targeting Max and Kaelan through those they love, and there's no one they love more than each other.
With friends and family to protect and their only allies a group of casters who find it easier to fight than cooperate, the odds are stacked against them. So can Max and Kaelan keep it together and stop Jannes before he ends the world, or is the best they can do just killing time?

Killing Time cover
Alexa and I got the cover for Killing Time and we've thrilled to bits with it. The artist is Mina Clay and she did an incredible job with it.
Killing Time teaser
Killing Time comes out a week today, so here's a little non-spoilery taste of it ;-)
He glanced around the room, glad the air was clear, even if their opponents had fled. “Evil has left the building,” he muttered.
“With your help, yeah.”
Attack or apologize? Always an easy choice, but because he hated being predictable, Kaelan threw in humor and a smirk. “Look, I’m not sure what happened with your cloaking thing—nice way of adapting a shield, by the way—but we all have performance issues from time to time. Don’t beat yourself up about— Hey!”
The finger poking his chest hurt, but he set his jaw and held his ground, exchanging the smirk for a glare. Green eyes shouldn’t sizzle, but the ones glaring back at him were doing just that.
“If I turned you into a mouse and got the cat to come back and eat you, it’d play hell with my karmic balance, but it’d be worth it.” The flat, cultured voice made each word a slap across the face, stinging, contemptuous. “Fucking amateur. Do you know how long I’ve been tracking that pair? Weeks. Weeks. And now they’ve seen me.”
“Traumatic for them, but they’ll recover.” Kaelan jerked his chin up. “And yeah, I don’t charge for it, but I’ve been casting since kindergarten, and I’m good at it, so unless you want to wear your lungs on the outside of your manly chest, lose the attitude, Abercrombie.”

Killing Time
an urban fantasy by Alexa and me, is out today from Loose Id. New book days are always a thrill.
You can get it and read an excerpt here and it's also on Amazon here
As ever, writing with Alexa was nothing but the best fun ever. We won't forget this book; our editor pointed out that we had quite a few names starting with 'J' and did we want to change some. I think there were about eight in the end that we had to change, and we don't know how we did it without noticing :-)

'Casting a Circle' a Killing Time short story
As promised, Alexa and I wrote a short story featuring Hallister and Magnus from Killing Time. We loved them and wanted to take a look at when they were a couple and what happened after Magnus was injured. It is spoilery for Killing Time so be warned!
