“Nail-biting action and dry humor.” –Cover2Cover
I love it when a reviewer picks up on the cool little “Easter eggs” in It Happened One Doomsday. Things like all of the different crystals Dru uses in her magic, and how they interact. Or the blink-and-you-miss it muscle car details. I love putting those telling specifics into my books. And when the reviewers notice,…

Today is your last chance to win a genuine galena crystal like the one Dru uses to battle demons in IT HAPPENED ONE DOOMSDAY.

“This book has everything.” –Book Riot
Some book review websites have a definite attitude, and you can either like it or get out of the way. I love that. Book Riot is one of those. Here’s what they said about It Happened One Doomsday: “A reluctant sorceress. Her Kesha-esque shapeshifting warrior BFF. Her wisecracking employee. A hunky mechanic who is being…

“This book totally sucked me in.” –Gooding
Holy guacamole! I’m just stunned by this amazing book review from science fiction writer Michael Edward Gooding: “This book totally sucked me in. It cost me some sleep because I couldn’t stop reading it… Good story, interesting characters, a satisfying ending that begs a sequel… The author walks on water in his spare time. Seriously though, the book…

“Light, quirky and entertaining.” –All Things Urban Fantasy
Make no mistake, All Things Urban Fantasy is big. It’s one of the most popular and influential blogs in the paranormal and speculative genres. Since they have “All Things” right there in the name, and my book is an urban fantasy thing, of course I figured I’d better send it to them. Just to keep…

“You need to read this book!” –Bloodthirsty Muses
This review is just chock-full of mind-blowingly amazing praise. I can’t even begin to do it justice. You’ll just have to read it yourself: “My heart belongs to a good urban fantasy, and this particular book is so completely enthralling and so original that I couldn’t put it down.” One more thing: I’m doing a…

You could win your own demon-fighting crystal. Seriously!
In my new book, Dru uses all sorts of magic crystals to fight the forces of darkness. Take galena, for example. Scientifically speaking, it’s a lead ore with a low melting point. It also contains up to 2% silver. But from a spiritual standpoint, it was used in ancient Egypt to line the eyes of…
