I’m thrilled to finally share the adventures of Sam and Alistair with you. I had a fantastic time writing it. Only one bed! The grumpy one loves the sunshine one! Magic! Bootlegging! Found family!

When Sam Cunningham flees his small-town life to try his luck in the big city of Chicago, he quickly finds himself in over his head in a world of gangs, glitz, and glamour. Fortunately, he has his cousin Eldon to teach him the trade of hex-making.

Everything changes the night Sam visits The Pride speakeasy and meets grumpy cheetah-shifter Alistair Gatti. After losing his first witch to the horrors of the World War, Alistair isn’t interested in any new entanglements, romantic or magical. Especially when said entanglement comes in the form of kind, innocent Sam.

When Eldon is brutally murdered, Sam becomes drawn into the dark underworld of the Chicago gangs. Sam must find the missing hex Eldon created for one of the crime bosses—before whoever killed Eldon comes back for him.

Together, Alistair and Sam begin the search for the mysterious hex, diving deep into the seedy side of Chicago’s underworld while dodging rival gangs. And as they come to rely on one another, Alistair realizes he’s falling for the one man he can’t afford to love.

I’m extremely pleased to reveal the cover for Blind Tiger, the first book in my brand new series The Pride. The Pride takes place in the same universe as the Hexworld books, and follows the adventures of Alistair, grumpy cheetah-shifter, and Sam, small-town witch out of his depth in the big city of Chicago. The gorgeous cover is by Tiferet Design, who really knocked it out of the park on this one!

And without further ado…

1924, Chicago. Prohibition is in full swing and gang bosses rule the city with might—and magic.

Happy New Year everyone!

The audiobook for Harvester of Bones (SPECTR 3.4) has been out for a bit, but I took some time off at the end of the year to have top surgery. I’m doing well, and am now easing back into the groove.

I’m extremely excited to announce that I’ve partnered with FSMQFragrances to produce unisex scents based on the characters from Whyborne & Griffin!

Whyborne combines the best marine notes with a spicy oriental base. Primary notes are ambergris, seabreeze, agarwood, sea salt, rose, ginger, pepper and labdanum.

Mysterious, strong and sensual, Griffin opens with the seductive scent of sandalwood. Heady bergamot and rich leather combine with vegan interpretations of period-authentic musks for a Victorian sensibility.

Offered in eau de parfum strength, Griffin is a fragrance of love and adventure. Primary notes are sandalwood, bergamot, leather, civet, castoreum, and Victorian musks.

Check out the website today, and use the sale code FSMQ25NEW to get 25% off for Black Friday!

We’re getting close to the end of the Kickstarter campaign for WIDDERSHINS: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME! I can’t thank our 413 backers enough for making this dream come true.

If you’re interested in the game and haven’t backed us yet, time’s running out, so click here and see our many awesome rewards and add-ons!

Federal exorcist John Starkweather is consumed by the search for the truth about his past. A new lead takes him away from New Orleans, to confront the twisted man who experimented on him as a teen.

Left behind yet again, Caleb and Gray throw themselves into the hunt for a murderous demon lurking deep in the swamp. But they can’t shake their growing fear that the more John’s memories return, the further he pulls away from them.

As John digs deeper into the secrets surrounding the Center where he was held captive, the danger around him grows. Because someone wants the truth buried—and they’re willing to kill to keep it that way.
