Magical New Series
I'm thrilled to announce I have an upcoming book in a fun new series -
Carnival of Mysteries
- a shared-element story (like the Magic Emporium), but in this case, the MCs in each book will visit Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it’s on, so each visit is unique and special.The first 4 books (of a total of 16) will be :
Crow’s Fate , by Kim Fielding - July 12

Step Right Up by L.A. Witt - July 19

Magic Burning by Kaje Harper - July 26

Night-blooming Hearts by Megan Derr - Aug 2

In my book, Magic Burning :

Alan
I haven't been out with a guy in the last two years. Partly because I'm a gay elementary-school teacher in a fairly small, conservative town. Partly because I'm a sorcerer, and dating ordinary humans only leads to trouble. Sleeping with one though? That's doable, so when my birdbrained familiar Sunny lines up a tall, muscular firefighter for me, I'm not going to say no. Just once, though. Maybe twice. I don't need more trouble in my life.
Jason
I don't regret moving back to my hometown and my big family. Well, not much. I'm not out to them, and I miss the anonymity of the big city, but I like the local fire house and the slower-paced life. Still, when I see my niece's teacher, Mr. Hiranchai, in gray sweatpants talking to a mini-parrot on his shoulder, something inside me (or maybe something in front of me) perks up and says "I want that one." I can't have an actual boyfriend, but I sure wouldn't mind getting laid, and Alan's slim, dark-haired, smart-assed style rings all my bells.
It's no surprise we turn out to be great together, even if my job and his responsibilities make it hard to find time. It is a surprise when I realize I want more than just an occasional night. But some weird fires out in the brush keep us firefighters hopping, and when this strange carnival comes to town and lands me with a pair of magical doll shoes, life gets truly confusing. There's more to Alan than he's telling me, and I'm getting a bad, bad feeling about all this.
Magic Burning is a story in the Necromancer universe, 60 years after Marked by Death, and is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series. Each book stands alone, but each one includes at least one visit to Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. This book contains a snarky, matchmaking bird, a lonely young teacher, and a gay firefighter finally coming out to his large family.
A word to my wide readers - this series will begin in KU (sorry, folks), but will go wide 6 months after all the 16 stories are released.

Argh, I was all woohoo, two new Summer reads in this ‘verse, and then this is KU, I hate KU. I hope you put it up on Smashwords the second it’s released from Hell. But, yeah, looking forward to more magic and hopefully cute and fun familiars.

These shared-worlds stories sometimes are required to be KU, as a way to encourage readers to jump from one known author to another unknown one at lower cost.
I'll go wide with it as soon as the agreement is up, although that won't be for about 9 months from release.
9 months? ‘Sad sigh’ oh well, I’ll look forward to Jasper’s story while I wait. And possibly a reread of the entire series too.

I admit, I'm hoping I do pick up new readers from being in the start with LA Witt, Kim Fielding, and Megan Derr. Many of the books will eventually go wide, since a good fraction of the authors are wide or moving to wide.
I just found books 1 & 2 up as preorders on Audible, do you know if your book is going to be recorded too? And if so with who and when(ish)?

That's a shame, but totally understandable, I'll just get the ebook as first planned 👍
