RELEASES
First up this month, the new Cary Redmond novel, THE TROUBLE WITH FAMILIES AND GOBLINS, is out live in the world in paperback, large print paperback, and eBook editions!
A Cary Redmond Novel, Book 9
Trouble meets the family…
Back from Scotland
and ready to settle into this new version of her job as a magical Protector,
Cary Redmond faces only one big problem. Thanksgiving. More specifically,
Thanksgiving with her family of mundane humans and her mate Deacon Jones’s
family of leopard shifters.
Cary’s parents have
no idea that shapeshifters exist in the world. Deacon’s mother happens to be
the queen of the local leopard shifters. Not just the parents plan to gather
for dinner, but every single member of each family intends to be there. And
every single one of these people in one small house for one big meal means…
Trouble.
Fine. Good.
Manageable. No problem.
Except for the
goblins.
And the mysterious
dog.
And, of course, her former faery mentor Jaxer.And her sister’s pregnancy.
But everything is
fine. Cary controls her Protector magic now. Thanksgiving involves lots of food
and drink. All good. No problem. What could go wrong?
Oh boy…
In this return Kat
Simons’ acclaimed Cary Redmond urban fantasy romance series, Trouble picks a
family holiday to add a little light chaos to Cary’s already chaotic life. End
of the world? Or just a talking-to from her mother? Could go either way. Don’t
miss this latest magical Cary Redmond adventure!

For Cary Redmond lovers, a heads up that Cary and Deacon will have a novella in this year's HAUNTS AND HOWLS collection, due out in October. More about that as we get closer, but the Cary and Deacon novella was super satisfying to write because it did exactly what I wanted it to do and that does not always happen. I can't wait to share it with readers.
~~~
Also, coming up on August 1st, I have a story that is part of a really cool project called the UNCOLLECTED ANTHOLOGY. UA is an urban fantasy collection, each edition written to a theme, and each edition having a special guest author. Each story is published independently by the various authors (thus the "Uncollected" part of the anthology) and now all the stories are also collected into a single edition available everywhere! So if you want to read just one or two stories, you can. You can buy them all individually. OR, you can pick up the collection.
For more about the anthology and previous issues, visit their website!
Uncollected Anthology: Equinox
The equinox marks a balance of light and dark…and the return of the elves.
Abrahm Reed hates the equinoxes with the power of a thousand
suns. Not just because each equinox marks the period when day and night balance
and the gateway between elfland and the human realm opens. Not just because the
beautifully deadly elves should never be allowed around humans. But because
every equinox, his father demands his presence.
As a half elf, half human, Abrahm moves between both worlds
without restriction. Yet the alien elf realm has always rubbed him wrong. He
feels more human and more comfortable in the mundane world. One of the many
reasons his elf father hates him.
But something feels different this equinox. Off. Wrong. More
wrong than usual.
Stepping through the portal into elfland cuts Abrahm off
from everything safe, everything he knows back in Boston. Trapping him in a
land of magic and death. Where even the most beautiful flowers prove
treacherous. And survival is never guaranteed.
Enter Kat Simons’ richly disorienting and mysterious urban
fantasy where the portal between realms marks a line between the safe, mundane
human world and the deadly beauty of elfland. Where not even the son of an elf
lord is safe.

And as a little bonus, Abrahm also visits the Café on August 1st as well! So you can get a little taste of who Abrahm Reed is at the Café and then read his longer story.
