Exciting New SERIES!

So this happened.

I decided to put up some very long pre-orders so all of you would know what was coming up in terms of my two new series. The covers are obviously not the final ones. The synopses are.

These series will be wide.

Howl at the Moon (World of the Jezebel Files, #1): https://books2read.com/u/4ELVeY

Raisa Montefiore has based her life on science, but at the moment, only three facts are relevant: A) werewolves don’t exist, B) she may have created the one standing in front of her, C) revisit fact A.

She’s a magic scientist with a mission to heal, but when her passion project is twisted to create the world’s first wolf shifter and her entire life comes crashing down, she’s thrown from the lab and onto a path filled with changing—and dangerous—unknowns.

Now on a quest for answers, she’s forced to work with the wolf, an infuriating man who was bossy enough before he went furry. They’ll have to survive deadly pursuers and the urge to throw their teammate in a vat of strong acid, leaving no trace of their remains.

Either way, Raisa is redeeming her life’s work and no man—or wolf—is going to stop her.  

Howl at the Moon  features an enemies-to-lovers romance, a snarky heroine, and a thrilling adventure.

Big Demon Energy (Bedeviled AF, #1): https://books2read.com/u/br1n7M

Aviva Fleischer lives in a world where vampires are celebrated like rock stars, but demons, their kissing cousins, are reviled and hunted. Talk about a double standard.

Also, talk about how screwed she’ll be if anyone ever learns her secret—that she’s half demon. To all appearances she’s a paragon of the magic community. She’s from a respected family and has become a top supernatural operative policing crimes committed by magic humans.

In fact, Aviva is about to be promoted to head up her own unit, all by the age of thirty. Exactly as planned. Then a rash of bizarre murders break out and the Powers That Be opt to make her co-leader of a special new squad. One that mixes humans with vampires, those operatives usually left to hunt down rogue vamps and demons. 

Co-leader? Seriously? That major wrench in her leadership plans is bad enough, but even worse? She’s being partnered with Ezra Haddid, jet set vamp and playboy extraordinaire. Aviva should know—he broke her heart six years ago.

Ezra is also the only one other than her mom who she’s trusted with her secret. Will he betray her to get ahead? Try it: she’s got a wooden stake with his name on it.

Big Demon Energy features crackling tension of the suspense and sexytimes varieties, witty banter, and a kickass heroine keeping the world safe. 

I’ve already started writing the first draft of Howl and I’m loving being back with Ash and the gang.

Feel free to pre-order, please and thank you. 🙂

The Best Diverse Urban Fantasy

There is a lot of wonderful urban fantasy that uses more conventional mythology and cis-het characters. Goodness knows I’m a huge fan of many of those series.

As someone who writes own voices uf featuring Jewish MCs and worldbuilding and magic systems drawn from Judaism and Jewish folklore, I enjoy more diverse urban fantasy as well.

I’m sure many of you do too, or you probably wouldn’t be reading my books. 🙂

To that end, I wrote an article for Shephard.com on the best urban fantasy books with diverse characters. Yes, you’ve heard me rave about them before. There were more titles I wish I could have included but I was limited to five.

Which ones have you read? What would you have included on this list?

Read it here: https://shepherd.com/best-books/urban-fantasy-with-diverse-characters

Book Mail

Book mail for Blood & Ash

It’s fun to get book mail, especially when it’s from my German publisher and filled with goodies!

It’s been an absolute dream working with my German publisher. Second Chances Verlag has gone way above and beyond simply translating The Jezebel Files.

They created a stunning paperback edition and character cards (I will own the entire set!). Illustrations of Ash and Priya are even on the inner flaps of Blood & Ash.

I feel so loved as an author and it’s a joy to have my baby in such excellent hands. <3

You can grab the German edition here: https://www.feiyr.com/y/JezebelFiles
