New Book Available Now
It’s been a long time coming (around 10 months long) but it’s finally here! My newest book is now available for purchase in the Kindle store on Amazon. Hell yeah. Y'all, it is such a relief to be finished with that beast. I’m proud of it though. So, without further ado, I give you
Nevermore
:
On October 7, 1849, Edgar Allan Poe did not die.
Upon his release from the hospital on October 9, Edgar is penniless, ashamed and suffering from writer’s block. All around him, the world is changing in a whirlwind of industry and invention, but he is stuck; the same old Edgar, the same old problems. His future seems bleak and Edgar wants nothing more than to leave his entire life behind. When a stolen coat provides him with the chance to do exactly that, Edgar seizes it and embarks on a journey to New Orleans that will change his life forever.
Once he arrives in New Orleans, Edgar finds himself swept up in a mysterious world of murder, intrigue and dangerous magic. Someone is killing young singers all over the city in the most gruesome way imaginable. Unable to contain his curiosity, Edgar poses as a journalist and with the help of his two new friends, they begin an investigation into the crimes. Before long, it is apparent to Edgar that their killer has goals beyond what he first suspected. Even worse, Edgar’s snooping has caught the madman’s attention, putting Edgar and his friends at grave risk.
When a seemingly small clue at last reveals to Edgar the murderer’s identity, he realizes the fiend has been right under his nose all along. Reeling with the new information, Edgar feels he is left with no choice but to act. Armed with a bold plan, Edgar decides to make his final stand against a depraved lunatic he once called a friend.
May the Lord help his poor soul.
And one more time, here's the link: Nevermore .

PENIS
Now that I have your attention...
I'm sure that at least two of you remember that I answered a question a while back where I made mention of a TOME I was embroiled in a battle of wills with. Well, tonight I finished that fucker! I am done. I did the thing. Hell yes. Now, editing and publishing. But first, beer.
Y'all have a great day. 🦄

Oh, my...
I knew that it was a plague, but I didn't realize just how awful the "Heaven spelled backwards" wave of stupid was until I saw this:
Nevaeh || 38,227
In the 2010s, it was the 46th most popular name for girls.
It might be "Heaven" spelled backwards, but it sounds a lot like the name of a popular lotion brand. Good job.
*headdesk to infinity*

Falls the Shadow (Sparrow Falls Book 2) Available Now
You can purchase it on Amazon HERE.
Synopsis:
Sparrow Falls, Louisiana is a dangerous place to live.
Tobias Dunwalton has lived in Sparrow Falls his entire life and is used to the bizarre happenings in the area. At least until strange things start happening to him, too. Tobias is an outcast and a misfit, which in Sparrow Falls means he should fit right in. Yet even among all the other freaks and weirdos, he stands out. He always has. There's something about Tobias most people don't like though he's never been able to figure out what that is. Now, however, someone has taken a very dangerous interest in him. One that could prove fatal if he doesn't figure out the mystery of what is going on in time.
Jeremy Harris has lived many different lives and died many violent deaths, always alone. In this life, Jeremy is the original serial killer of Sparrow Falls. He doesn't think of them as murders though. He thinks of them as necessary sacrifices. They are the only way he has to call out to a god he is beginning to think has forgotten him. Driven mad by the constant cycle of rebirth he's been damned to, Jeremy is determined to have the one thing he truly desires: a life lived in full with his beloved god beside him at long last.
Set on a collision course toward each other, Tobias and Jeremy will learn something they've always suspected: maybe salvation and oblivion are one and the same for some people.

Things That Annoy Me:
All right, there are a lot of things that annoy me. I am what you could call an irritable person as a rule. Not temperamental so much... just impatient and uninterested in putting up with a lot of shit.
So. Today's installation of Things That Annoy Me:
When people preface statements with, "I'm not homophobic, but..." then proceed to say something totally homophobic. It's like people who are being assholes online, but think if they end XYZ shitty thing they say with "lol" or ":)" then that's a get out of jail free card. No. All of those things are just making you a passive-aggressive asshat and I kind of want to kick you in the teeth.
Lol. :)

Keep in mind that it will be NSFW on occasion as I lack an edit button and possess a fondness for gore and profanity. Point being, do be careful of your supervisors and whatnot when poking around over there. But it's not all gunshot wounds and werewolves! I post poetry and pictures of puppies, too.
Balance, y'all, that's the key.

Success!
Tonight I finished the second book in the Sparrow Falls series (so excited!). I've been working on it for a while (started the day after I finished Shades of Night). I don't have anything terribly teaser-worthy to offer just yet, but the title is Falls the Shadow and it's another little romp through Sparrow Falls where we trip the creep fantastic with some more residents of that weird town. When I have more to share, I'll hit y'all with it. Until then, happy reading!
