The Plague God is out!

Today, for Halloween (or Samhain if you celebrate), I’m releasing book 5 of Tales of the End Times: The Plague God.

In the new novel, the dangerous angel of the dark moon, Suriyel, has vowed to take revenge on Joanie. That revenge extends across all time.

During the Black Death, an earlier Joanie meets her lover, the angel Azazel, in a magic circle. But that magic inflicts destruction. In the here and now, Joanie makes a pact with the plague god Nergal, only to have pandemic threaten. In the near future, white supremacist militia capture Joanie and her friends. They escape across the desert, but someone gets left behind. Can the incubus-succubus Puabi-Ekur help them perform a rescue?

Through it all, Joanie’s angel and incubus stand to protect her—until one of them decides it’s too much.

Find a link to the book on Amazon, free for now on Kindle Unlimited!

Autumn

Trees and a small pond, with foliage turning red on a bush in front

The first full day of autumn falls today, in the Northern Hemisphere, with implications of harvest, of a fruitful end.

The fourth book, Arise, You Rebel Angels, is in its second draft, with my publisher for revisions.

Despite the plague times, life feels pretty good, though I feel at a crossroads—which means, I hope, adventure is coming.

Onion is a mighty predator

Here is the fierce predator Onion in her natural environment. She’s stalked and killed a roll of toilet paper, having started the morning by taking down a votive candle.

I’m sad to tell you Onion is an only child now. Her sister Potato was lost a while ago on a grand adventure, begun by popping out a window screen. Potato started her quest at night, or I might have stopped it. She’s now with Bast, or wherever cats go when they take off. I miss her.

The time in between

Bench in Pompeii

This bench in Pompeii, in a picture taken several years ago, sits in between visitors, waiting. I’ve finished a draft of book 4 of the series, working title Arise, You Rebel Angels, and it’s with beta readers. I’m giving myself a brief break between periods of writing.

I’ve always been fond of in-between time—when I was in college, going to my parents’ house and back on the bus, the passage looking out the window, watching the dark landscape go by, was one of my favorite times. No responsibilities, no set location. I’m in between also on vaccine status—two shots down, waiting for full immunity in June.

The eddy of time before a new current takes hold.

Bealtaine continued

Aphrodite statue, shells, and coral

Bealtaine traditionally was a season, and as part of that fey and amorous season I’ve sent the fourth book of my series to beta readers. And huzzah for that.

If all goes to plan, it should be out by the end of the year.

The end is near

I’ve turned the corner, y’all. I’m almost done with a draft.

Fair warning—this one is going to be full of a lot of angels. Witch-friendly angels, witch-father angels, but angels.
