Announcement: Pre-Order DJINN & TONIC Now
Pre-order what?! DJINN & TONIC is my newest novel, an urban fantasy thriller for lovers of noir and djinn with a punk vibe. It’s a love letter to both genie stories and being an exhausted 20-something with a shit job, ride-or-die friends, and a demanding boss.

DEADGIRL: DAYBREAK Gets a Publish Date (and a Cover)
Hey everyone! If you’ve been following me or my books, you know it’s taken a while for this last novel in the Deadgirl series to hit the streets, as the kids say (the kids do not say this). Turns out a three-year serious family medical journey and a pandemic is a real kick in the nards to creativity.
Anyway! I have good news and hopefully not bad news for those excited to read the final adventure of Lucy Day and Team Deadgirl.

Sneak Peek: The 1st Chapter of Deadgirl Daybreak
I present, here and now, a sneak peek of the first chapter of Deadgirl: Daybreak. The full book will arrive on Kindle and paperback this year, which apparently is 2021.
Why leak the first chapter? Because, well, you’ve been waiting for it. Maybe, I don’t know your whole deal. But if you HAVE been waiting for the fourth and final Deadgirl book, I figure it’s only fair I share a little aperitif while you wait.
Presenting to you now, the first chapter. If it changes in the final, published draft, well, them’s the brakes. But enjoy!
As you’d expect, this chapter contains MASSIVE SPOILERS for the end of the 3rd book, Deadgirl: Goneward. Also, minor spoilers from the Daphne novella. Proceed with caution!
Or don’t, I’m not your mama.
