At least this year, for me, because it's one of the few recent summers when we haven't been traveling through most of the months off school. This means I'm getting to the back pages of the site and updating some things. There are still things in need of updates, but we're getting there.
RELEASES
An Abrahm Reed Story
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.

As a reminder, this is part of a larger project, UNCOLLECTED ANTHOLOGY: EQUINOX, and you can get all the stories from that uncollected anthology, collected into a single edition! So if you want them all, that's the best way to go.

Also this month, out on the 18th and up for preorder now, STORIES FROM THE CAFE: VOLUME THREE!
Meanwhile, back at the café…
From the eclectic pen of acclaimed author Kat Simons comes another
immersive collection of stories from the Café.
Where regulars sip richly roasted coffees and delectable
teas. Newcomers find a cozy nook to nibble their buttery croissants and gooey chocolate
chip cookies. And the witch owner and her cat familiar keep the whole thing
running smoothly.
Well, smoothly-ish.
Time travelers, mysterious goddesses, vampires, wizards, and
occasionally just mundane people meeting someone new. The café brims with mystery,
magic, and romance. Held together by the carefully crafted spells of Nina and
Boo. A space for every soul.
Don’t miss this latest collection of Stories from the Café!

NEWS AND UPDATES
Looking ahead to September, I'll have some individual releases from the last Haunts and Howls collection, if you'd just like those as standalone eBooks. This will include the Destiny Cats novella from that collection. If you are a fan of the Destiny Cats, that's a good way to collect the individual stories!
I'll also have the cover for the next Haunts and Howls coming in October, HAUNTS AND HOWLS THROUGH GHOSTLY VEILS! The ghostly theme lent itself to some very fun stories. I'm a little creeped out by ghosts (not unlike Cary Redmond) so writing about ghosts has been both fun and creepy. More on that next month!
Along with the newest Haunts and Howls collection, of course, I'm hoping to have some other fun stuff for October and spooky season, so be sure to check back!
So until next month, Happy Reading!
