Almost Summer!

Just a couple weeks from the solstice and welcoming in Summer (here) with a whole lot of rainy, spring like weather. Ah well. Good excuse to stay in and read.

This month is another Whole Lot of Dragon Thief! LOL. But also don't forget to check out The Cafe for new stories, including Cary and Deacon visiting The Cafe on the 15th! More below.

First! The releases because that's a little complicated and there's a bunch of stuff.

~~

THE DRAGON THIEF SERIES, Season One Omnibus is available at KatSimonsBooks now! If you missed the Kickstarter, this is your chance to pick up the full omnibus collection in eBook, Trade paperback, fancy deluxe paperback (with a slipcase if you like), and fancy deluxe hardback (also with a slipcase if you like)!

The deluxe editions are only available through KatSimonsBooks. BUT the regular Trade paperback and the eBook will be out wide in August. They're available for preorder now if you don't want to forget!

EBook, Deluxe Hardback, Deluxe Paperback

Slipcase sample (similar for paperback and hardback)

In addition to the omnibus, all six of the first season stories also have their own individual paperbacks available now from KatSimonsBooks! AND you can also buy them in a bundle with their own pretty slipcase/box if you're interested. The individual books ship faster than the bundle with the slipcase because the slipcase is a specialty product, but if you're a collector, it's a nice package!

The paperbacks (without the slipcase option) will also be available wide! They come out in August when the omnibus is released wide, so I'll have more details on those then.

On top of all this exciting Dragon Thief news, I ALSO have a BRAND NEW Dragon Thief story out at KatSimonsBooks!

Book 9 in the series, THE PAYBACK JOB, is out on June 18th from KatSimonsBooks and releases wide in (you guessed it!) August. (June and August turned out to be very busy release months for the Dragon Thief series!)

So many enemies, so little time…

Working with their new team, Myra and Christopher have rescued “damsels” in distress all over New York City. Even as their relationship develops and deepens. Though Myra tries not to think too much about the future. In the moment, the work makes her happy, and so does Christopher. And their latest job, saving grieving widows from a scam artist, proves a satisfying challenge. Or at least it did. Until the king drops an emergency into their laps and upends all their plans.

Suddenly the team must drop everything to rescue three missing dragon shifters. With only three days to find them and get them back. And it appears an old enemy orchestrated everything. An enemy looking for payback.

But who? Someone from Myra’s past? Christopher’s? Or someone they thwarted together?

With so many adversaries, so many people they’ve managed to anger, Myra and Christopher have a long list of suspects. And very little time to whittle that list down. The lives of the missing shifters and the entire team rest in the balance. They have to uncover the truth or people will die.

And time is running out.

~~

AND if you're a wide reader, book 8 in the series, THE GREEN SCROLL JOB, is now out everywhere!!

THE GREEN SCROLL JOB
Dragon Thief, Book 8

Ancient magic, a deadly bargain, and a whole lot of lives on the line…

Teaming up with a crew of people all with the same goal—to save damsels in distress—seemed like a fun idea. At the time. But growing pains and Myra’s lifetime of working alone complicate the delicate balance of the new team. She doesn’t want to give up on it, for Christopher’s sake as much as her own. Her dragon shifter boyfriend has a soft spot for damsels in distress. To ensure his safety, Myra will willingly work with other people, so someone’s there to have their backs.

But trust never came easy for the magic thief, and now Myra has to learn to trust a whole bunch of people when some of them clearly don’t trust her.

When the team’s latest attempt to rescue a damsel in distress goes bad, and their tight timeline pushes the boundaries of calculated risk, trust might be the only thing that saves them. The only thing that can save their client. Because two wealthy, dangerous men after the same ancient artifact, and one conman without a conscious, have trapped an innocent artist in the crossfire. Myra, Christopher, and the others will do whatever it takes to rescue their client.

Even if it means launching themselves into danger. Confronting deadly ancient magic. And putting all their lives on the line.

So. Yeah. That's a lot of Dragon Thief. LOL. 

Beyond the Dragon Thief series, this month, I do have two new Café stories available. The first, Kassidey at the Café, is free for a couple more days and then Cary and Deacon at the Café goes live on the 15th!


If you've missed some of The Cafe stories or just prefer to read in print, next month I'm releasing the first collection of Cafe stories! It'll be available in eBook, trade paperback, large print, and hardcover editions, so whatever fits your fancy it'll be available! More on that next month, but the books should be most places for pre-order now. And are definitely up at KatSimonsBooks for preorder.


Okay, I think that's more than enough for one post! LOL. I hope the changing seasons are treating you kindly and that you're finding some very good reading!
