The end of The Incubus Saga - Sidhe available now!
It happened. Yesterday the final book in my series went officially live, and is now available for purchase. It's already up here on Goodreads with the inaugural review offered by my good friend and fellow author, Meagan Hedin.
Amazingly enough, I didn't cry. Though I've gotten teary eyed several times. In honor of this occasion, and how excited I am for various events and blog tours planned over the next few months, I'd like to share with you all the final author's note from the back of the book.
-----
At last we come to the end of this tale 8 years and over 450,000 words in the making.
I’d like to leave you all with just one of the amazing stories that happened during the last few days of finalizing this book.
Many years ago when I was first posting this story online, when I got to the end, a good friend of mine, Steph, who you know better as Ula the shapeshifter, wrote a continuing ending for me. Just a sweet little story of backyard BBQs and family fun, with the Creedence Clearwater Revival song “Lookin’ Out My Back Door” as a theme throughout the tale. To this day, it is one of the many songs I think of when imagining an Incubus soundtrack, though I seldom hear it on the radio.
Reading through some of the last chapters while also listening to my Pandora, I simultaneously received a message from Steph while “Lookin’ Out My Back Door” began to play over my headphones, and it stopped me so cold, I nearly teared up—serendipity.
So many other similar coincidences and cosmic nods have happened while working on this story, and I feel truly blessed for each one, and for all the ways “Dave” has been present as I wrap up this important chapter in my life…with the last chapters of The Incubus Saga.
To happy endings. Wherever we may find them.

"Who designed the cover of your latest book?
My good friend and coworker at BWN, Mario Hernandez, who does everything for the publisher, and is just too talented for words. He has worked tirelessly with me on perfecting each of the covers for my series, and they have all turned out exactly as I imagined."

"The third book of the series is just as the two before it; it sucks you in and keeps you turning pages wondering what the three [main characters] have to face again and if they can still stand the test of time. I loved this series and Sidhe was the perfect ending."
