It's a big day for a little book.

'Hunted' the introduction to the Devon Hurst Series is now available on Amazon. If you have a Kindle or use the Kindle app, you can download a free sample.

Devon is an intriguing character. In 'Hunted' we're introduced to a man with a less than upstanding past, but he's trying to make it right.

Unfortunately, his past won't let him.

If you love survival/post-apocalyptic fantasy this should be your thing (oh, and vampires, did I mentioned those?).

Enjoy.

The Heartstone Thief has been a long time coming but it finally has a shiny cover AND a release date.

In the City of Brea, thieves and sorceresses do not mix.
When Curtis Vance—professional thief—stumbles into a sorceress’s trap, he’d prefer to kill her than help her. Now bound to the insane sorceress, his only escape (and chance to turn a profit) is to find the long forgotten Dragon Eye gem. Little does Vance know, the Dragon Eye holds more than the key to Vance’s freedom. The Eye could awaken a devastating power—a worldkiller bent on destruction, and Vance is all that stands in its way.

Okay, I've beaten around the bush long enough. The bush is well and truly dead. No more beating on that bush. Here's the definitive answer to the 'will there be another Chaos book?'

YES!

Chaos Rises #3 will likely be called Chaos Falls, and it'll be told from....

Wait for it....

Not Gem's point of view...

Who's suave and sophisticated enough to get their own book? Who's is the only Prince of Hell who could have sweet talked their way into that one, I wonder? (Stop it, it's not Akil. He doesn't do sweet talk).

Yes, Li'el, the inimitable Prince of Pride is back and he's saving LA from another certain demon (no spoilers please!) while trying to avoid the righteous wrath of a female cop we met in Chaos Rises.

I had always planned to have three book in the series, but Gem's character arc happened in two books instead of three, leaving me with a bit of problem. Switching point-of-views during a series is not ideal, and switching to a male POV would usually be a big no-no, but Li'el doesn't give two hoots about silly 'rules'.

This book will be a challenge on so many levels, not least because I have to get inside the head of an immortal air elemental who just happens to be the actual devil. He's sexy, he's clever, he is air and everywhere, and he's going to be a pain in the ass to write, but also a whole lot of fun.

Am I intimidated? Yes, very much so, but Li'el won't settle for anything less than his own book, so who am I to argue?

Any questions, pop them in the comments or use Goodreads "Ask the author" thingamajig.

Happy reading all!

In a world smothered by surveillance, Kesh Lasota is a ghost. Working as a messenger, she moves undetected, delivering illegal messages between Calicto's criminals. But when one of those messages kills its recipient, Kesh finds herself on the run.

Magic and tek, the fae and humans, clash in this thrilling NEW space-fantasy.


The hype is real.

Complex. Heartbreaking. Astonishing. F*cking mind-blowing.

A fabulous start to a new series, Fae, space, and courtly intrigue what could be better?!?

The writing was amazing the characters intriguing. This book has many twists and turns that will have you craving the next one.

This book was amazing from the beginning to end! I can't wait to hear what Kesh, Kelley, and Talon do next!

All I can say is You Have To Read This Book!

Unraveling the mystery of Kesh is going to be a delight - but strap yourself in because this is a wild ride!

OUT NOW.

I'm back from Boston Fantasy Fest and trying to get to grips with jet lag, so I apologize now for any errors you're about to encounter. It's a miracle I can remember my own name after the nightmare of a journey back to the UK. But I am back, and plowing full steam ahead into preparations for the third Messenger book. Things are just warming up for Kesh, Kellee, Talen, Arran and Sota. The third book: The Nightshade's Touch sees our foursome starting to find their feet as a team, only to have those foundations tested as they find themselves stranded on an abandoned farming planet. Unfortunately, they're not alone. Oberon can no longer afford to ignore Kesh's actions and sends one of four elite guardians to capture her. Then there's the small issue of slaughtered farming colonies with suspicious vakaru-like wounds. Oh, and let's not forget the monsters with a single name on their lips: Nightshade.

The Nightshade's Touch is the third book in the planned five-book Messenger series and it isn't just the plot that's heating up. Kesh might be saru, but she can't resist the temptation of Talen, Kellee and Arran for much longer. If only they could get past all those pesky trust issues!

A lot of questions from the first two books are answered in Nightshade. Our heroes pasts start to be revealed, and with them, some terrible truths are exposed. Truths that will either tear the Messenger and her men apart or bring them closer together. Are their bonds strong enough?

I dive into edits this week and have it scheduled for an August release. I'll publish a date once it's more solid. This one will only be a short preorder, so make sure you're signed up to my mailing list for all the news.

Boston Fantasy Fest was an epic gathering of some of the coolest most awesomest (it's now a word) authors ever. I finally got to meet so many authors who I've friended (or they've befriended me) over the years, including James Hunter (Cataclysm, Domino FinnDead Man, Jex Lane Captive and more. It was a stellar line-up of professionals and if you get a chance to go to the next one (possibly West Coast in 2019) definitely do. There's something magical (and a little bit dark ;) ) about a room full of urban fantasy authors and these guys were so much fun to meet in person.

There's lots more happening in the Pippa DaCosta house, so don't forget to check my Facebook readers group including a first look at the next Messenger cover and exclusive character artwork.

See you there! Oh, and make sure you add The Nightshade's Touch to your shelves.

I'll just leave this here...

Coming late August! Add it to your shelves here: The Nightshade's Touch
