Cannonbrook: Wellfire Faeries Book 2
The now pre-orderable sequel to Nomad's Hollow, CANNONBROOK, is on track for a late spring/early summer release, so it's time to give readers a taste of what mishaps they can expect to befall our faerie friends!
If you're not familiar, in Nomad's Hollow, young faerie Jennet, having escaped the destruction of her home city at the hands of ruthless human invaders, is taken in by the residents of a subterranean town. There, she trains to become a caster using the powerful magic energy known as Wellfire.
When humans attack her new home, seeking this energy, she and her new friends are forced to defend it... the result of which sets up the first sequel, CANNONBROOK.
If you haven't read Nomad's Hollow, a SPOILER follows, so now's the time to check it out!

In CANNONBROOK: WELLFIRE FAERIES BOOK 2, Jennet and the people of Nomad's Hollow are seeking a new home, the fabled city of Trinithal. Lost in the forest with minimal direction, they are ambushed by a group of strange, ragged faeries.
Two of their number are kidnapped, forcing Jennet to stage a daring rescue. While on this mission, she discovers a colony of faeries living hidden in the human town of Cannonbrook, the leader of whom invites her and her people to join them.
Jennet and the faerie warrior Vett are divided as to whether to accept the offer, and the stage is set for a vicious faerie VS faerie confrontation in the heart of human territory! Will the survivors of Nomad's Hollow splinter into factions? Can the flightless poet Ambrosia overcome a new, devastating misfortune?
And... are all humans truly evil? Jennet may be surprised by the answer in CANNONBROOK: WELLFIRE FAERIES 2, coming soon!

B L O O D S P I N N E R
Announcing the semi-imminent release of my new pulpy dark fantasy BLOODSPINNER (coming in time for Halloween - October 17th - now available to pre-order !)
This is my first book in a couple of years, and after edging toward slightly more all-audiences works, I've decided to "return to my roots" as it were, unleashing a roster of loud and, um, unusual characters behaving badly.
Is it my best book? That's for readers to decide, but it was certainly the most fun to write! I had a riot with this cast of misfits and outcasts, and I hope you will, too.
Oh, and arachnophobes beware: our leading lady is half-spider... and not the nice, might-weave-you-some-new-mittens kind!
THE SYNOPSIS:
While gathering rare fungi in the marshlands outside of his small town, impoverished young pickpocket Richtan Crown hardly expects to run into Kitsu - half-woman, half-spider, and all predator!
The enigmatic Kitsu is on the run, trying to find her way back to her distant homeland. Richtan agrees to help her flee her pursuers and return to her country, a perilous journey which will see them hunted by dangerous adversaries, both human and demonic.
With the help of a whip-wielding necromancer, an oversexed imp, a foul-mouthed unicorn - and more - can Richtan dodge an onslaught of enemies determined to recapture his eight-legged companion, and get her safely home?
MATURE READERS: graphic violence, sexual references, coarse language and some horror imagery.
Available to preorder on Amazon Kindle and shortly on paperback, with more planned formats down the line!
