Oh yeah, um. . . my book is getting a sequel. I announced that everywhere but here. Months ago.

So much for “updating a newsletter” sheesh. Sorry, everyone.

Hi, I’m Abi and occasionally I forget how to author properly. But I wrote a rip-roaring vamprie novel set in a decadent Jazz Age. Think “Hades and Persephone, but make it horror.” And it performed well enough to merit an entire sequel.

Thank goodness, right because that Book One ending was a doozy. We all were left thinking about red lipstick when we really would have rather just had a full-on smooch, right.

You know that’s not happening, friends. Not with me. Not when I could turn the scene into a shoot-out instead.

THIS SILENT CITY will release Spring 2026 from independent publisher Counterpoise Press.

After tangling with the Capital killer, Demetrius, Gabriella, and Hades scramble to pick up the pieces left in his ruinous wake. But a new foe lurks in the grimy undercity. Rival gangs begin to encircle Hades, who must decide where he belongs: in the ivoried Towers or in Eastgate’s smog-choked streets. Will he rise as the king of the criminal underworld. . . or fall prey to the very darkness he wields as easy as his Colt revolver? Demetrius and Gabriella wrestle with their warring allegiances (and complicated emotions) as they decide how far they are willing to go for their nefarious, red-eyed partner.

If you adore gripping and gritty stories like Peaky Blinders, Sinners, and Priest of Bones . . . you don’t want to miss this thrilling vampire series set in the Jazz Age.

There. I did it. I authored properly. Good job, Me.
