Tramps and Thieves (Rook/Dante #2) Will be out on Sept 18th!
Tramps and Thieves
Whoever said blood was thicker than water never stood in a pool of it.
Retiring from stealing priceless treasures seemed like a surefire way for Rook Stevens to stay on the right side of the law. The only cop in his life should have been his probably-boyfriend, Los Angeles Detective Dante Montoya, but that’s not how life—his life—is turning out. Instead, Rook ends up not only standing in a puddle of his cousin Harold’s blood but also being accused of Harold’s murder…and sleeping with Harold’s wife.
For Dante, loving the former thief means his once-normal life is now a sea of chaos, especially since Rook seems incapable of staying out of trouble—or keeping trouble from following him home. When Rook is tagged as a murder suspect by a narrow-focused West L.A. detective, Dante steps in to pull his lover out of the quagmire Rook’s landed in.
When the complicated investigation twists around on them, the dead begin to stack up, forcing the lovers to work together. Time isn’t on their side, and if they don’t find the killer before another murder, Dante will be visiting Rook in his prison cell—or at his grave.
Coming Sept 18th from Dreamspinner Press.

Hellsinger News and New Covers! AND Duck Duck Ghost is $1.99 on Amazon!
So, Hellsinger. Amazon! On Sale! Duck Duck Ghost is now on sale at Amazon US for $1.99 so you can get both books for less than Nine Dollars!
For our international friends who may not have this Amazon sale, the Dreamspinner store is price matching the $1.99 for Duck Duck Ghost.
I’ve wanted new covers for this series for a while now and after a long discussion with Anne Cain (Poor thing for having to deal with me), the Hellsinger series has new covers! We’d planned to do a whole relaunch of the series in October and all of the bells and whistles only to discover Duck Duck Ghost was tapped by Amazon to go on sale. Starting today and lasting throughout August.
Which is a fantastic thing! But man, I didn’t want the books to go on sale with the old covers and the lovely folks at Dreamspinner Press scrambled to get the ebooks updated in time for when the sale hit this morning. I am so so grateful for that because you know, book’s on sale! It should be all spiffy and new!
SO…we’ll be rolling out the new covers over the next couple of weeks. Amazon’s ebooks are first so they’d be in time for the sale and the others will follow, including the paperbacks! I’m also very excited to have seen the cover for Book 3, Send in the Ghosts, and I’ve got a plot. So, lots of Hellsinger news.
Thank you all for your patience and for your love of Tristan and Wolf. They will be back! Oh…and Cin. And that Harker guy.
Fish and Ghosts
Hellsinger: Book One
When his Uncle Mortimer died and left him Hoxne Grange, the family’s Gilded Age mansion, Tristan Pryce became the second generation of Pryces to serve as a caretaker for the estate, a way station for spirits on their final steps to the afterlife. Tristan is prepared for challenges, though not necessarily from the ghosts he’s seen since childhood. Determined to establish Tristan’s insanity and gain access to his trust fund, his loving relatives hire Dr. Wolf Kincaid and his paranormal researchers, Hellsinger Investigations, to prove the Grange is not haunted.
Skeptic Wolf Kincaid has made it his life’s work to debunk the supernatural. After years of cons and fakes, he can’t wait to reveal the Grange’s ghostly activity is just badly leveled floorboards and a drafty old house. More than a few surprises await him at the Grange, including its prickly, reclusive owner. Tristan Pryce is much less insane and much more attractive than Wolf wants to admit, and when his team releases a ghostly serial killer on the Grange, Wolf is torn between his skepticism and protecting the man he’s been sent to discredit.
Duck Duck Ghost
Sequel to Fish and Ghosts; Hellsinger: Book Two
Paranormal investigator Wolf Kincaid knows what his foot tastes like.
Mostly because he stuck it firmly in his mouth when his lover, Tristan Pryce, accidentally drugged him with a batch of psychotropic baklava. Needing to patch things up between them, Wolf drags Tristan to San Luis Obispo, hoping Tristan’s medium ability can help evict a troublesome spirit haunting an old farmhouse.
With Wolf’s sister handling Hoxne Grange’s spectral visitors, Tristan finds himself in the unique position of being able to leave home for the first time in forever, but Wolf’s roughshod treatment is the least of his worries. Tristan’s ad-hoc portal for passing spirits seems to be getting fewer and fewer guests, and despite his concern he’s broken his home, Tristan agrees to help Wolf’s cousin, Sey, kick her poltergeist to the proverbial curb.
San Luis Obispo brings its own bushel of troubles. Tristan’s ghost whispering skill is challenged not only by a terrorizing haunting but also by Wolf’s skeptical older cousin, Cin. Bookended by a pair of aggressive Kincaids, Tristan soon finds himself in a spectral battle that threatens not only his sanity but also his relationship with Wolf, the first man he’s ever loved.

Black Dog Blues is back Up. And Mad Lizard Mambo is $1.99! Get the whole series for less than $9!
Amazon has found Black Dog Blues again. They’d lost the kindle version for a bit but Kai’s first adventure is back!
Kai Gracen has no intention of being anyone’s pawn. A pity Fate and SoCalGov have a different opinion on the matter.
Licensed Stalkers make their living hunting down monsters and dangerous criminals… and their lives are usually brief, brutal, and thankless. Despite being elfin and cursed with a nearly immortal lifespan, Kai didn’t expect to be any different. Then Ryder, the High Lord of the Southern Rise Court, arrived in San Diego, and Kai’s not-so-mundane life went from mild mayhem to full-throttle chaos.
Now an official liaison between the growing Sidhe Court and the human populace, Kai is at Ryder’s beck and call for anything a High Lord might need a Stalker to do. Unfortunately for Kai, this means chasing down a flimsy rumor about an ancient lost Court somewhere in the Nevada desert—a court with powerful magics that might save Ryder’s—and Kai’s—people from becoming a bloody memory in their Merged world’s violent history.
The race for the elfin people’s salvation opens unwelcome windows into Kai’s murky past, and it could also slam the door on any future he might have with his own kind and Ryder.
This is Adorable.
I do miss my grandfathers. Spend some time if you have it.
