Release day for Zoraida Grey and the Voodoo Queen is less than one month away. August 1 is the day. You can already place your pre-order HERE. Next week, the festivities begin with sales, giveaways, and other foolishness. All the details are on my Witchmageddon page.

Novel Magic-Book 2 in a Fantasy Series: Hushed by Shereen Vedam

Back to our roots today with the latest in a fantasy series. A nice, clean read for those who prefer not-so-steamy romance and heroines on a quest. Don’t say a word!

Groundhog Day’s Pagan Roots: Celebrating the Return of the Light

Happy Groundhog’s Day!  via GIPHY I always thought Groundhog’s Day to be a fairly bland holiday–no presents, after all–but Groundhog’s Day has a Pagan history. You have to hand it to the Pagans–their calendar is jam packed with party days.

It’s a celebration of renewal, regeneration, creativity, […]

Seven Authors Who’ve Kept Me Off Death Row

Winter is not my favorite season. When I tell people I get depressed in the winter, they ask if I get suicidal and are uncertain how to react when I tell them homicidal may be the word they’re looking for.
