Announcing the Labor Day Weekend Book Sale!
This coming week marks the one year anniversary of This Brilliant Darkness! So…I’ve been living with these characters for longer than two of my children! Wowee!
(And, yes, Braine, the sequel is still happening. Just not ready yet.)
But you know what IS ready? This Brilliant Darkness. For a SALE.
“The enigmatic Red Tash has created a compelling, multi-layered - and fully nuanced modern fairytale, full of pop reference and varied philosophical allusions. This Brilliant Darkness is smart, thrilling, funny and full of great characters tangled in the kind of small-town webs Stephen King revels in. Excellent writing from a writer to watch. One of the best new writers I’ve read in years. Pick it up!”
It’s Labor Day, and let’s celebrate with a big book sale! You can download This Brilliant Darkness and Troll Or Derby for a cool $.99 each! If that’s not enough to load up your Kindle or your Nook or your Kobo or whatever you’d like, then check out these other amazing books on sale at the website. And you can enter to win a digital camera—how spiffy would that be?
“Roller Deb is stuck in Bedrock, Indiana, with a loveless, alcoholic mother and a popular sister. Her only solace is roller skating, and Deb’s ambition is to skate in the Derby. But when her beauty queen sister—who has hooked up with a drug-dealer who deals faeth (fairy meth)—goes missing, Deb must set off to find her. What our main female protagonist doesn’t know is that she is actually a fairy who is about to fledge, and that she has been assigned a protector—Harlow, a troll and the nephew of troll rockstar Jarrod McJagger. Her mentor, the coach at the skating rink is also a troll, who gives her a pair of magic skates … and so unravels a prophecy that takes Deb and Harlow on a fast-moving, sometimes grim adventure that teaches both more about who they really are.”
So go grab a copy of each of my novels for cheap, and when you’re done with that, visit Wicked Cucumber for more! (What a great name that is, huh?)

Agnes Richter was a German seamstress held as a patient in an insane asylum during the 1890s. During her time there, she densely embroidered her straightjacket with words, undecipherable phrases and drawings which documented her thoughts and feelings throughout her time there. This remarkable object was collected by Hans Prinzhorn, a psychiatrist who ardently collected the artwork of his patients at a Heidelberg psychiatric hospital in the early 20th century.
