In late December, an anthology called Fall Into Fantasy 2018 came out from Cloaked Press. It collects 13 fantasy stories, including "Steeping Spells," which is mine! Check it out on Amazon in paperback and e-book.

I have another story, "Lonesome," coming out in an anthology called Gunsmoke & Dragonfire, a collection of fantasy westerns. Here's the blurb for my story:

Although the anthology doesn't come out until March, it's available for pre-order on Kindle for just 99 cents for the month of January! Then, the price will increase in increments until it reaches full price upon the release in March.

RELEASE DAY: The Stroke of Thirteen

The Stroke of Thirteen, a contemporary fantasy novel, is now available!

Synopsis: When Grace Pembleton inherited her grandfather's business in rural Pennsylvania, she had no idea what else she was in for. She thought life as a bed-and-breakfast owner would be a quiet one, that the only trouble she'd encounter would be making enough coffee for guests.

What she gets instead is a violent gnome, a resident ghost, a secret society, and continuous brushes with the supernatural. Even with new friends at her side, she struggles to fulfill her family's legacy of protecting the town.

Then a new threat arises, and it wants Grace.

The print edition, available on Amazon, contains the bonus prequel short story, "Where You Can See the Stars." The e-book edition will be released on July 11th. You can pre-order it on B&N Nook, Google Play, iBooks, Kindle, and Kobo.
