Stumped

Sweet Nothings – PsyCop Flash Fic

Happy 2023,

I asked my Facebook group, JCP Insiders, what they’d like me to chat about this month and several folks expressed interest in getting a little more of Jacob’s point-of-view. This inspired me to write the bonus flash fiction, Sweet Nothings. Find out more in my January newsletter.

A Sweet Holiday Short

Rowan does his best to blend in, but thanks to the ugly sweater from his grandmother, he’ll have a hard time sneaking away from the party unnoticed.

What’s worse…he’s starting to think it’s not only ridiculous, but enchanted.

It’s hardly a recipe for meeting the man of his dreams. But sometimes you find a kindred spirit when you least expect it.

Like a Charm is a quick holiday read featuring two painfully shy guys, a plethora of ugly sweaters, an obnoxious neighbor, a sassy grandma, and a hint of magic.

Spellcraft finale: It’s All Relative

If Spellcrafters value anything, it’s family. (And a good deal from the clearance rack, and an exceptional hand of poker. But mainly family.)

So, when a long-lost relative surfaces, everyone is absolutely thrilled…until the newcomer challenges Dixon for the title of Hand.

Yuri is perfectly willing to force the usurper back under whatever rock he crawled out from, but Dixon insists on proving himself the best man for the job. A magic string chose him as the Hand, after all. And while Spellcraft can be capricious, surely it would never let Dixon down.

Would it?

To make matters worse, Dixon’s attention is divided. Not only is he scrambling through town on a magical scavenger hunt, but a Handless customer with a sob story has him searching for her lost dog. Because, as Yuri points out, there’s always a dog.

From one end of Pinyin Bay to the other, the whole family pitches in to help Dixon keep his rightful place in the final installment of this heartwarming series.

The ABCs of Spellcraft is a series filled with bad jokes and good magic, where M/M romance meets paranormal cozy. A perky hero, a brooding love interest, and delightfully twisty-turny stories that never end up quite where you’d expect.

Holy Comic Book Cover, Eel Man!

In my last day job, I was a graphic designer for several years. So, the recent advances in AI-generated artwork is super interesting to me. Since The ABCs of Spellcraft covers are majorly collaged and manipulated anyway, it was fantastic to be able to create certain elements from scratch instead of buying stock art. This process was in no way quicker, mind you. It just allowed me to get closer to the vision in my head.

I thought readers would enjoy seeing a montage of all the crazy Eel Man covers I generated for Spellcraft #13, Comic Sans. I ended up using the second one from the right on the bottom row. I thought the layout and typography most readily looked like a classic comic at a quick glance.
