I’m so excited to finally be able to share this book with you! As I believe I mentioned here before, I wrote it last year when I was in a writing slump and needed something fresh to break me out of it. I really enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much!

This launch also marks my first foray into HARDCOVER! The Forgotten Dead is currently available in ebook, paperback, and gorgeous hardcover. And for you audiophiles, the audiobook is narrated by Tristan James, and is already complete! So keep an eye out for that dropping very soon.

HEA for Trans Kids is raising money for the Transgender Education Network of Texas via awesome book bundles. I’m very pleased to have Hunter of Demons included in the first bundle!

Times are tough, and not everyone can afford to donate. That’s okay! If you can, though, it would really help to spread the word about the bundle on social media.

Hello all, and sorry for the long delay in posting. But I have some exciting book news for you today!

Last summer I hit a bit of a slump after finishing Unseen. To get my writing mojo back, I decided to indulge myself. For about six months after the start of the pandemic I watched a ton of ghost hunting shows, and I thought it would be fun to write another series about ghost hunters, this time set in the modern day. (Technically it takes place in the same universe as the Spirits series, but there’s no direct connection between the two.)

The Forgotten Dead is the first book in a three-book series, OutFoxing the Paranormal. I had a great time writing it, got my mojo back, and have since finished the next installment of SPECTR and am working on the next Pride book. Below is the stunning cover crafted by Skyla Dawn Cameron of Indigo Chick Designs.

Parapsychologist Dr. Nigel Taylor doesn’t work with psychic mediums. Until, that is, a round of budget cuts threatens his job and an eccentric old woman offers him a great deal of grant money. The only catch: he must investigate a haunted house with a man she believes to have a true gift.

Oscar Fox, founder of the ghost-hunting team OutFoxing the Paranormal, has spent his life ignoring the same sort of hallucinations that sent his grandmother to an insane asylum. When he agrees to work with the prestigious—and sexy—Dr. Taylor, he knows he’ll have to keep his visions under wraps, so his team can get a desperately needed pay day.

Soon after Nigel, Oscar, and the OtP team arrive at the house, the questions begin to pile up. Why is there a blood stain in the upstairs hallway? What tragedy took place in the basement? And who is the spirit lurking in the closet of a child’s bedroom?

One thing is certain: if Oscar can’t accept the truth about his psychic abilities, and Nigel can’t face the demons of his past, they’ll join the forgotten souls of the house…forever.

Coming April 15th! Please note, though I can’t set them up for preorder through Amazon, The Forgotten Dead will also be available in paperback and HARDCOVER! Plus I’m working with the amazing Tristan James on the audiobook. To grab the ebook, click one of the links below:

Librarian Sebastian Rath and his lover Vesper Rune are tasked with seeking and containing the evil Books of the Bound. But one of the Books has been freed from its prison—and is in the hands of a killer.

As more bodies turn up, Sebastian finds himself tempted to use forbidden magic to locate the Book and stop the murderer. And when an unexpected connection to the necromancers who created the Books is revealed, Sebastian must choose just how far he’ll go to right the wrongs of the past—even if it means endangering his own future.

Hi all, I’m coming to you today with a sad announcement regarding Widdershins: the Roleplaying Game. Due to the worsening health of the owner/lead developer, the company that was going to make the game is shutting down.

Three important points:

All Kickstarter pledges will be refunded via Kickstarter over the next couple of weeks, so no one will lose their money.To my knowledge, all the creatives who worked so hard on the Kickstarter and free version have been paid (yes, that includes me).The free version will remain for you to download and play at https://libomni.itch.io/pocket-guide-to-the-town-of-widdershins or at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/330962/The-Pocket-Guide-to-the-Town-of-Widdershins-Massachusetts

If you have any questions about refunds, please direct them to [email protected], since I can’t really help out on that end.

Obviously this news comes as a great disappointment to everyone. The team worked incredibly hard, and I think the free version shows that. Once again, I’d like to thank everyone who pledged to the Kickstarter or helped spread the word; your support truly means the world to me.

Love,

Jordan
