I love these in-between seasons, the changing weather, the changing days. And frankly, I'm happy to see the back end of February which was a <i>month</i>! (The ending was better than the beginning, though, so I'll give February that at least.)</p><p>So this month, the big news is the <b><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/katsimons/the-trouble-with-shifters-and-fae-courts-urban-fantasy" target="_blank">Cary Redmond KICKSTARTER</a></b>!! It launches today (at noon EST) and I'm both terrified and excited and thank you in advance to anyone who can back it.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/katsimons/the-trouble-with-shifters-and-fae-courts-urban-fantasy" target="_blank"><img alt="purple and blue background with The Trouble with Shifters and Fae Courts, Cary Redmond Book 8 on the left and an image of the cover art in 3D paperback to the right." border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivpH2SQYOWBHzcDXm9OBhS7hBtXSx3RHkRIHJPPW-023_RYCVXp_UJ_i3fPrMvERwDxuO4Gh6YGevG6gFqJCSLqyGP5drZnhGR65BmpZcpMoAVyZ89qc_KXLxni0SBDBzS7ApnKTPnOhOtlaFg52scOaPTZot_-1-Ajt3lgzQwTB8vLc-ccKP1XmALUIkr/w320-h180/Cary%20Redmond%20Book%208%20Kickstarter%20Graphic.png" width="320" /></a></div><p>If you watch the video, there's a bit of a trailer and then you get to see me being a dork on camera LOL. I was a little surprised how awkward that was! And there were many takes over a couple of days just to get that brief bit of video. And I still look all awkward, even after all that practice. So if you want to see me being a dork, be sure to watch that. (hahahaha!)</p><p style="text-align: center;">~~~</p><div style="text-align: left;">Also out this month is the standalone novella, <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/hourglass-through-the-cats-eyes" target="_blank">HOURGLASS THROUGH THE CATS EYES</a></b>, the second Destiny Cats novella.

bravery…and cats.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Learning to intermix her regular life with her new, destined
life as a guardian of universal knowledge, Erica Randal studies hard, trains
hard, and manages the two distinctly different parts of her day-to-day. She’s
even getting used to her new cohort of cats, though the tension between her and
the leader of her cats, Galahad, leaves her edgy. Getting used to the fact that
Galahad has a human form, and that she finds that human form…compelling, makes
their new living situation fraught.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But even with that, Erica has accepted her new life, her new
family. Accepted her fate. Even enjoys the training. What she really craves
now, though… Her first chance to retrieve one of the books she and her aunt are
fated to protect.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So when the opportunity finally arises, Erica jumps at the
chance. A retrieval that leads her and her cats into a dangerous desert adventure.
A confrontation with deadly magic. And time running out for all of them…<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">~~~</p><p class="MsoNormal">That's the big stuff this month!

That is up for <a href="https://books2read.com/ChicagoJob" target="_blank">preorder now</a>, so be sure to check it out, and if you like slow burn, dragon shifter romance with a <i>Leverage, </i>heist-type vibe, I hope you'll consider checking out the series.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Until then, thank you again!</p><p class="MsoNormal">And Happy Reading!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

It's just one of those holidays that doesn't appeal to me even though I'm a romance writer. What can I say? I do like the chocolate, though.</p><p>But since I do have a new paranormal romance series starting, and since it comes out the day before Valentine's Day, I suppose I am celebrating this year! LOL. Chocolate and paranormal romance for all!</p><p>I've mentioned this series multiple times because I really am excited about it. And now, officially, the releases start and it is launched out into the world! I hope readers will enjoy it as much as I am enjoying writing the stories.</p><div style="text-align: left;">The first book, DRAGON THIEF, is out now!

mayhem…</i></p><p class="MsoNormal">Myra has made many mistakes in her life. Breaking into a
dragon king’s hoard… Not one of her most successful mistakes. As a thief with a
touch of magic, though, she adores a good challenge. Unfortunately, the dragon
king adores a good repayment for damages done. Not that she even stole anything!
They caught her before she could.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But no one argues with a dragon king. Do the job for him, or
suffer the consequences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The job in question… Steal back the dragon king’s son.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Myra never suspects when she reluctantly agrees to the king’s
terms that the youngling she’s sent to rescue will turn out to be a sexy hunk
of a dragon shifter whose deep voice and outstanding height push all her
buttons. Or that her night will turn out so…interesting. Or that escaping his
kidnappers will toss them into a deadly race against time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But Myra loves a good challenge. Especially an interesting
one. </p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><b>Author’s Note</b>: This story originally appeared in the
collection, WHO STEALS A DRAGON, as the paranormal romance genre story. There
have been minor changes to this story to fit in with the larger world of this
new series. If you have read the story in WHO STEALS A DRAGON, this one has not
been changed substantially enough for you to require re-reading it. You can
jump right into Book Two in the series.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~</div></div><p>For my print readers, there will be a collection of the six novellas from this year in either one or two paperback volumes, depending on how big they end up being. Those will come out at the end of the year, so keep an eye out for that.</p><p>The next two books in the series, <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/the-chicago-job" target="_blank">THE CHICAGO JOB</a></b>, and <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/the-poisons-book-job" target="_blank">THE POISIONS BOOK JOB</a></b> are both available for preorder everywhere now, so if you enjoy this one, be sure to preorder the next two! </p><p>Also, starting with <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/the-poisons-book-job" target="_blank"><b>THE POISONS BOOK JOB</b></a>, the Dragon Thief novellas will be releasing at <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/" target="_blank">KatSimonsBooks</a> a week before they're available wide, so if you're impatient, you can get them a whole week earlier by buying direct. And if you do, thanks for the support!</p><p style="text-align: center;">~~</p><p>Speaking of the <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/" target="_blank">fan store</a>, I'm starting to roll out merchandise, so please take a look and let me know what you think. More will be coming soon!</p><p>For next month, I have a very exciting and scary Kickstarter campaign launching so readers can get the newest Cary Redmond novel early!

I'll roll out those covers to the general public at the end of January. These novellas will come out every other month in eBook for all of 2024.

And I have three of the stories already written for the next <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/collections/haunts-and-howls-collections" target="_blank"><b>HAUNTS AND HOWLS collection</b></a>, coming in October 2024. I'll also have a couple of more short story collections in the mystery genre, and a new contemporary romance release this summer.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So LOTS of good stories coming out, in a variety of genres, to suit your mood and reading preferences.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2024 will also be the year of expanding and prioritizing <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/" target="_blank">my store, KatSimonsBooks</a></b>. There will be more paperbacks added (hopefully all of them), and I'll be starting to add products to the store very soon, with those rolling out over the year. As with the newest Cary Redmond novel, I'm also going to start releasing some of the bigger books early from the story. And 2025 might see everything released in the store first and then wide (if I can get that organized!). So watch for that if you're the impatient type.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'd like to start moving the Isabo Kelly books over to the store, too. They're a lower priority move for me, but I'm hopefully I can have them there by the end of the year.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So that's the overview of what 2024 will bring. It's a lot. So long as things don't get turned upside down, it should be a fun year with some new ventures. That said, of course, keep watching this space every month for updates on all of this (especially if life intervenes and my plans have to change).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Or, if you want the news delivered directly to your inbox, consider <b><a href="https://bit.ly/KatSimonsNewsletter" target="_blank">joining my free author newsletter</a></b>. It comes out monthly, I occasionally give away free reads, or coupons to the store, as well as include excerpts, cover reveals, and other fun stuff, depending on what's going on. I do write long newsletters most of the time, but I include links at the top so you can jump to what you're interested in if you have limited time to read.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As we roll into this brand new year, I hope it brings you good health, peace, kindness, and lots of good reading!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Happy New Year!</div><div style="text-align: left;">~Kat</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p><br /></p>Kat Simonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17382480721660344513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528131594259803153.post-38619732677729179062023-12-12T03:00:00.051-05:002023-12-12T03:00:00.138-05:00Happy End of 2023!<p>Happy December! I hope the season is treating you well and that if you celebrate any of the various holidays this month, those have been joyous and festive.</p><p>I have two things out this month, and then a little news and update below about what to expect for next year.</p><p>First, this month, I have the digital box set for the first three novels in the Seven Families series. <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/wolf-in-stone-a-seven-families-box-set" target="_blank">WOLF IN STONE</a></b> gets you all three eBooks in this spooky paranormal romance trilogy for the price of two! All in one file. This is an eBook box set only. As soon as someone enables me to put together a physical books box set, I will jump into that. (Wouldn't that be fun!?)</p><p>The second release is one of the short stories from <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/haunts-and-howls-where-demons-dwell" target="_blank">HAUNTS AND HOWLS WHERE DEMONS DWELL</a></b>. <i>Burning Inside a Stone Circle</i> slides right into this month as it takes place on Winter Solstice! (Okay winter solstice up here in the Northern Hemisphere, but you get the idea.)</p><p>This is the last story from the collection to get its individual eBook release. So if you're interested in some of the stories, but don't want to buy the entire collection, they are all available as standalones in eBook now. For my print readers, the full collection is still the best way to go.</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/wolf-in-stone-a-seven-families-box-set" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1029" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCBvgYae8D3B6d1SX767rkZxHWosQv_v4fiuyPrGl8wMXKClwsS4jOb8FUbS4P2Xpq7I9alxs4ND5QXRRSJUvBVcNajxHtxC5zshx37kSuttBTxHu1ZsrRl5X9p6zgpT4purP65ZP2dGcAxV61LrskbNCAvxtcJ2aviDmp3YtznQ-WNwMCIAz76dW5PwF/s320/7F-Wolf%20BoxSet%201%20-%203D.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>WOLF IN STONE<br />A Seven Families Box Set, Books 1-3<br /><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/wolf-in-stone-a-seven-families-box-set" target="_blank">BUY DIRECT</a><br /><a href="https://books2read.com/WolfinStone" target="_blank">All Other eBook Vendors</a></b></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Meet the Wolf Family…</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a world where monsters created by an ancient god hunt for
human victims, heroes from the Seven Families must fight to hold back the
darkness. Waiting for the love of their fated mates to save them from a
god-cursed doom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This box set collects the first three, full-length novels in
the Seven Families series, following the battles and loves of three of the Logan
siblings. Don’t miss a minute of this sexy, spooky, paranormal romance series.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>DARKNESS IN STONE</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk152067678">When Katie Donovan enters the dark,
mysterious world of billionaire Eric Logan, she finds more than she bargains
for. Because Eric Logan is not what he seems. And his world teams with supernatural
monsters. Eric must win the heart of his destined love, but convincing her they’re
meant for each other proves complicated when monsters threaten his home. If they
can face the horrors, and overcome the monsters, Katie and Eric might find their
future. And a love that defies everything.</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Rebecca Logan never expects to find her fated mate, the one
person who can save her, her destined love…just as she uncovers a new monster
on a killing spree. Adam Walsh left his werewolf pack a disgrace, becoming a
dreaded rogue. He has nothing to offer Becca except exile and danger. As they
hunt the new monsters and fend off a hostile werewolf pack, Becca and Adam resist
the pull of the consuming passion building between them. But if they can’t
learn to trust each other, their natures will destroy them both.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>FATED IN STONE<br /></b></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">Meeting his destined mate in the middle of a deadly battle with
a monster topples years of Ben Logan’s plans and expectations. To save the
woman destined to save him, he makes one of the biggest mistakes of his life. A
mistake that could cost him everything. When Elle Barker discovers the world holds
terrifying monsters unlike anything she’s ever seen, she turns to the one man
she thinks she can trust, only to find out, he’s not what he seems either. To
save their future, they must learn to trust each other. But first they have to
survive the monsters.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">~~~</p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/burning-inside-a-stone-circle" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5cYqSUJqHiUaHmOggZd1q7sIp247-E8iO09khyBbXX_5mSzpMgxHOTsIWvylHofZBhYqkuLr23mOL_JXl5jHGulLzksNwqOI5t2VRUa5GeNGsNR8VZzN1mAlxUoFb2uH-x5hqGqHXryZZGzUsv4TDG3aj32LhddHvNBNR-vO3Ht2r8WB8L0N3x2BPQ36s/s320/Burning%20Stone%20Circle%20Original.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>BURNING INSIDE A STONE CIRCLE</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/burning-inside-a-stone-circle" target="_blank">BUY DIRECT</a><br /><a href="https://books2read.com/BurningInsideStoneCircle" target="_blank">All Other eBook Vendors</a></b></div><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Winter brings a dangerous transition for this witch</i>.</p><p class="MsoNormal">As the winter solstice approaches, Riana faces the final of

present to accompany her into the future. Facing personal demons. Riana risks
everything to keep those she loves safe.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Author’s Note</b>: This story is also published in the
collection <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/haunts-and-howls-where-demons-dwell" target="_blank">HAUNTS AND HOWLS WHERE DEMONS DWELL</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">______</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;">News and Updates</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">As December brings the year to its end, I'm setting up my schedule for next year. And I'll have two new things happening in 2024 that should be exciting--and terrifyingly scary for me in one case!</p><p class="MsoNormal">First, I have a novella paranormal romance series releasing over the course of next year that should be very fun. Unlike most of my paranormal romance and urban fantasy stories, this one takes place in a completely different story "universe" It's set in New York City, mostly, but the world in this story is aware of the more magical side of things. So this isn't something that could cross over into the Cary Redmond or Tiger Shifters world, for example.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I do like good crossovers, but this one came to me as a standalone originally, and I like it that way.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The series is called the <b>DRAGON THIEF</b> series, featuring a magical thief and a dragon shifter prince. And boy are they fun together! The first novella will release in February 2024. For regular readers, this story is actually already published in <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/who-steals-a-dragon" target="_blank">WHO STEALS A DRAGON</a>. The standalone version may have a few tweaks to it to accommodate the expanded world building I'm doing for the series, though.</p><p class="MsoNormal">My vision for this series is to make it a bit like a TV series. Shorter books, released frequently (every other month in 2024 as a start), and an ongoing story arc, though each individual story will be a complete story itself. No cliffhangers! The romance will be slow burn over the course of several books, so be prepared for that. But the chemistry between these two is pretty hot, so I think the burn will be worth it. (Burn. Dragon shifters. Ha! Unintentional pun, but I'm amused by it.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">If you'd like more about the series, I'm giving all <b><a href="https://bit.ly/KatSimonsNewsletter" target="_blank">my newsletter subscribers</a></b> a sneak peak at a short story in the series that won't be released until closer to the end of 2024. This was written as a standalone, and by the time it's published will probably have some tweaks for worldbuilding purposes as well, but it can be read on its own now, without even having read the first story from WHO STEALS A DRAGON.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Any new subscribers between now and the end of the year will get the story. If you subscribe in January, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the end of this year for this one. BUT don't worry, I'll have other fun stuff for you. (And also, already, I have two exclusive stories for new subscribers that you get when<a href="https://bit.ly/KatSimonsNewsletter" target="_blank"> joining the newsletter</a>, so there's that. *grin*)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">~~</p><p class="MsoNormal">The next big thing for next year, the thing that terrifies me, is I'll be running my first Kickstarter! </p><p class="MsoNormal">I'm still in the planning stages, but I'm looking to run this during March 2024, and it will be for the newest Cary Redmond novel, book 8 in the series! Kickstarter backers will get the book two months before it releases wide, and a month before it releases in my store. So if you've been jonesing (ha! another pun--Deacon Jones, get it? I may be watching too much Black Adder these days.) for more Cary and Deacon, this will be something to look out for.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Book 8 is a super fun novel, too, that takes Cary and Deacon to Scotland on a very interesting adventure where we get to see a little more of Deacon's family history. And we meet his grandmother! Oh boy is that interesting. *grin*</p><p class="MsoNormal">There will be much more about this in January, including a link to the campaign prepage where readers can sign up for notification when the project launches, but it's one of the big scary things I'm trying in the new year, and I wanted to give readers a heads up.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">~~</p><p class="MsoNormal">The rest of 2024 will also bring a bunch of fun reads, including a new Joan of Kerry novella in January, so please drop by next month for more news.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Until then, I hope 2023 treated you kindly, and if it didn't, I hope 2024 is gentler with you. If you had a great year, I hope next year is even better. And for all of us, I hope 2024 brings good things.</p> <div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="giphy-embed" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://giphy.com/embed/1eScJiVR4RQVG" width="480"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/miss-congeniality-1eScJiVR4RQVG">via GIPHY</a></p><div style="text-align: center;">Image: gif of Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality<br />crying and saying "I really do want world peace."</div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Happy Holidays!

And they are definitely a love letter to New York City.</p><div style="text-align: left;">This month, the latest Percy James adventure at the Azur Regent sees our intrepid heroine working in the days leading up to New Years Eve when some mysterious shenanigans ensue at the hotel. <b><i><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/diamonds-do-damage" target="_blank">Diamonds Do Damage</a></i></b> is out now in eBook everywhere.

those coming to her city to enjoy the sights and celebrate another turn around
the sun.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But a small disruption to the routine, one guest not

This is a super cool calendar of winter holiday stories. You'll receive one a day from US Thanksgiving through New Years day. It's so much fun, I really hope you'll consider subscribing. The various authors that Kris Rusch (the editor of the Spectacular) gets into the collection every year are so good.

It's finally started to cool off here in New York, which means I'm into cozy season--sweaters and hoodies and snuggling under blankets. Perfect crisp days that haven't gotten too cold yet, and weather that only mildly irritates my allergies. *grin* Also, there was a Friday the 13th this month that coincided with a new moon and the next day there was a solar eclipse.</p><p>That's some brilliant Octobering right there.</p><p>Since it is October and one of my favorite times of year, I ended up with three different releases this month! Also, there's a reminder on the Kickstarter I mentioned in that last post below the release info. And, in case you were looking, I have most of the print links now for STORM SHADOW WITCH. They're below too.</p><p>Two of the releases this month are the standalone eBook releases for stories from last year's Haunts and Howls Collection--the two spookiest stories in the collection (in my opinion). <b><i><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/fridays-curious-shop" target="_blank">Friday's Curious Shop</a></i></b> is out now. And <b><i><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/the-museum-of-small-arts-everyman" target="_blank">The Museum of Small Art's Everyman</a></i></b> will be out on Halloween!! I've got a story out on Halloween! I don't know why, I find that very exciting. LOL.</p><p>The new book for this month, out today, is another Haunts and Howls collection! <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/haunts-and-howls-and-jesters-bells" target="_blank">HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND JESTERS BELLS</a></b>. This one is a little different because some of the stories are funny (or at least humorous. In my opinion. Which, you know, might not be funny to a reader at all.

It's basically an advent calendar of short stories! It runs from US Thanksgiving until New Years day, and every day, subscribers to the calendar get a new short story in their email.</p><p class="MsoNormal">There are usually three themes each year with three different moods. Kris does an introduction to each story in her email, which helps readers know what the mood of the story is, so if you're not in the mood for something hardboiled, for example, you can always save that day's story for a better mood. Ditto something sweet and romantic. The stories encompass a lot of winter holidays, and since some of the writers that Kris includes are from Australia, there are often stories set around a Christmas that takes place in the middle of summer.</p><p class="MsoNormal">It's super fun. I've gotten the Spectacular every year since she started doing it. This will be the fifth year. And I can't recommend it enough. I've read some really excellent fiction and it gives me something fun to look forward to every day of the holidays.</p><p class="MsoNormal">And to my absolute delight, I have a story in the Spectacular this year!</p><p class="MsoNormal">I have no idea when it will be delivered during the event--none of the writers know until their story shows up in their inboxes--but it will be there! And I'm pretty excited about it, because I really loved this story, and I really really love the short story advent calendar concept of this project.</p><div style="text-align: left;">To get the Spectacular going every year, Kris and the WMG crew <b><a href="http://kck.st/3M4J9dm" target="_blank">run a Kickstarter for it</a></b>.

out of the demon world any time soon. The only shining light in that darkness
is having the love of her life, Sebastian, back.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But after trouble last Halloween broke open new powers for
Angie, controlling her growing magic proves too challenging to do alone. Her
only hope at mastering the demon witch magic before it overwhelms her…help from
her first mentor and teacher.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And that means a trip home to New Mexico.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Returning to her family brings unexpected dangers, though.
Threats Angie thought she left behind in New York. And a confrontation with a
mysterious enemy who threatens everything she loves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pushed into a corner, Angie will protect those closest to
her, no matter the cost. But even Sebastian’s help might not be enough against
their current enemies. And when Angie must face her worst nightmares, the
biggest threat to those around her might not be the demons. The biggest threat…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Might be her.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p style="text-align: center;">~~~</p><div style="text-align: left;">Don't forget the sale on the eBook version of <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/bone-lantern-witch" target="_blank">BONE LANTERN WITCH</a></b>!

I'm terrible at them. LOL</p><p>This month I have a new short story release, a previously published novella releasing as a standalone eBook, and news about a sale.</p><div style="text-align: left;">First the standalone eBook. <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/anger-management" target="_blank">Anger Management</a></b> originally appeared in <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/haunts-and-howls-where-demons-dwell" target="_blank">HAUNTS AND HOWLS WHERE DEMONS DWELL</a></b>. For my print readers, that's the edition to get. But if you prefer to pick up the individual story on its own as an eBook, this is your chance.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For those reading the <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/collections/cary-redmond-series" target="_blank">Cary Redmond series</a>, or the <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/collections/demon-witch-series" target="_blank">Demon Witch series</a>, this novella features the demon hunter Aidan in yet another appearance where we see her through someone else's eyes.

as a rare dhampir, Quinn has learned to rein in her anger and manage living in
the world between vampires and humans without killing everyone. Mostly. Sometimes
her anger even comes in hand. Especially when a legendary demon hunter asks for
help. Quinn never refuses a good fight.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But vampires summoning a demon makes no sense. Vampires don’t
need to bargain with demons for power or wealth or anything else.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Or do they?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Uncovering the vampire conspiracy while preventing a demon
from escaping leads Quinn down a road she never expects to walk. Directly to
secrets that could cost her everything.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If she survives the demon.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: center;">~~</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The New Release for this month is out on August 22nd (less than a week away as this post releases) and is available for <a href="https://books2read.com/CookiesCantCrime" target="_blank">preorder everywhere</a>.

holidays she gets off. She loves working the front desk at the Azur Regent, a
boutique hotel on the Upper East Side of New York City. But this year…this year
she needs Christmas.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Getting a holiday off in the hospitality business? Notoriously
tough. Getting the holiday you want? Almost impossible. At least with Percy’s manager.
But this year, Percy has a plan. Win the annual cookie contest, get Christmas
off.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The only problem… Two of the main players in the competition
are missing.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Something weird is happening at the Azur Regent.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And Percy James has to figure it out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-size: large;"><b>NEWS AND LOOK AHEAD</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Next month, I'll have another novella from the <b>HAUNTS AND HOWLS WHERE DEMONS DWELL</b> collection releasing as a standalone eBook. <b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/demonic-dates" target="_blank">Demonic Dates</a></b> is a sort of tie-in novella with the<br /> <a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/collections/demon-witch-series" target="_blank">Demon Witch series</a>, so for those of you reading that series, this might be a fun one to pick up (if you haven't gotten it in the collection already).

This year is just flying past. I didn't mind that so much in my youth, but now, I'd be happier if things slowed down. *grin*</p><p>This month, I have a fun experiment out. A collection of stories, all starting with the same line, all six of them in completely different genres! And they all start with the line (and the question), Who steals a dragon?</p><p>Which, when you think about it, is a <i>really </i>good question.</p><p>This is what I'm calling a <b>Pick Your Genre</b> collection.

best friend, the witch Angie Jordan, Cary knows she’s in for an interesting
night. Trouble swirls in the air right alongside the campfire smell. Magic and
danger and people to protect. All in a night’s work for a magical Protector and
her powerful best friend. But Cary gets a lot more than she bargains for.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A field full of bespelled pagans trying to throw themselves
into a giant bonfire only starts a night of deadly danger. Because inside that fire,
the real threat lurks. A threat impossible to destroy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And if Cary can’t figure out what’s going on in time, a lot
of people will burn.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://books2read.com/MoviesMayMurder" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhusYtGSqyYnikWgJzsVAZEQBZtKfzZB6Cfst-o1pAvBbs93EQNgyhSjZ-G44MuTiU710Ixl8UteG2D02PExJ9cVEYoYe8e_lq_5auds3U7JKaDkCKNoUQ3m1YICUN7i4-gPDjOOZFHLague3t-6WcpohVzzvTQcp7TzljMXn6kzLYil81nfYVSvJOOdA/s320/Movies%20May%20Murder%20Cover%20Original.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>MOVIES MAY MURDER</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>A Percy James Mystery</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Out June 27th</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://tanddpublishingbookstore.com/products/movies-may-murder" target="_blank">BUY DIRECT</a></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://books2read.com/MoviesMayMurder" target="_blank">All Other EBook Vendors</a></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Welcome to the Azur Regent</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Percy James rarely trudges through a dull day at her job as
a front desk clerk of a small boutique hotel on the Upper East Side. New York
City draws all kinds, and a lot of the more interesting people end up at the
Azur Regent. Percy loves the variety. Always a story to tell. Always something
interesting happening.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But sometimes things can get maybe a little too interesting.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Because even small boutique hotels turn up occasional
trouble. Like the guest room covered in blood.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Uncovering the culprit and keeping the other guests safe,
all while not getting reprimanded by her boss… Percy will count that as a good
day at work.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So long as no one dies.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Quick note about paperback prices</span></b>: Amazon has had to raise their printing costs this month and that has necessitated raising some of my print book prices. This mostly affects the Large Print paperback editions. I have tried to keep the prices as reasonable as possible. And where I can, I've kept the prices the same (this is essentially true across the board with the Trade paperback editions). There might be some hardback price increases as well. Just a heads-up if you notice a price increase.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Next month</span>:</b> I have an sort of experimental thing releasing.

<p class="MsoNormal">Benjamin Logan has fought monsters for more than three
hundred years, knowing one day he’ll be granted his promised mate, his true
love, the one fated to break his curse. But meeting her in the middle of a
deadly battle with a monster and its human minions topples all Ben’s plans. To
save her, he makes one of the biggest mistakes of his life. A mistake that
could cost him everything.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Elle Barker finds people for a living, tracking down missing
loved ones for people out of options. Using her psychic skills, Elle discovers
her newest target held captive in a compound that holds terrifying monsters
unlike anything she’s ever seen. Out of her depth and desperate, Elle must overcome
her suspicious nature to trust the one man who knows how to survive the deadly
creatures. Only to learn he’s not what he seems either.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To survive, Ben and Elle must work together even as the building
attraction between them overwhelms their common sense. With the world at risk,
and the monsters getting stronger, their own feelings must take a backseat. But
saving their future and stopping a horrifying plot, means accepting their bond…<o:p></o:p></p>

This means I'll be removing the Book Depository links from the site and obviously won't have them going forward. The grapevine tells me that Blackwells in the UK is a good alternative for cheap/free international shipping, so I'll look into that and if it pans out, will start adding those links in. I am sorry to see Book Depository go, though. They were a great site, particularly for international readers, and their absence will leave a hole.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Okay. Now back to the regular post.</b></p><p>Happy April!

<p class="MsoNormal">At least if your job title is Magical Protector. Cary
Redmond spends most of her holidays jumping into danger. Stopping bad guys,
protecting innocents, and doing her job as a walking, talking Kevlar vest. Because
magic, mayhem, and disasters don’t take holidays off.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In fact, sometimes the holidays are the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But Cary is always ready to leap into the fight, tackling
the dread, the deadly, the bespelled, and the strange. And if she helps a friend
along the way, all the better. Because when the holidays bring Trouble, Cary’s
on hand to save the day.</p>

The updates won't go live until I've finished moving things around in the background, but you could see them as early as the end of this month.

to find her fated mate, the one person who can save her, her destined love…just
as she uncovers a new monster on a killing spree. A monster with weapons that
strike directly at her Family. Duty demands she hunt and destroy the monsters.
But that duty endangers her mate. And if she can’t convince him they’re meant
for each other, they’ll both suffer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Adam Walsh left his werewolf pack a disgrace, becoming a
dreaded rogue. Alone, and without the security and structure of a pack, Adam
knows he doesn’t have much longer before his animal nature takes over, turning him
into a killing machine that will destroy everything in his wake. So when the
beautiful monster hunter drops into his life, he knows he has to resist her.
Impossible when she looks at him with her beautiful brown eyes, offering hope
he hasn’t had in years. But he has nothing to offer Becca in return except exile
and danger.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As they hunt the new monsters and fend off a hostile werewolf
pack, Becca and Adam resist the pull of the consuming passion building between
them. Their secrets loom, an impenetrable wall. And if they can’t learn to
trust each other, their natures will destroy them both.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">~~~</p><p class="MsoNormal">Next month, a new Cary Redmond collection of short stories and novellas releases!

Which I just realized LOL). That will give us time to ensure the paperbacks are available by the release date.

He's fully recovered and I'm on the mend. Fingers crossed my oldest and husband don't get sick now. More sighing.</p><p>Anyway! Personal note added just so you know that I'll be posting a second update this month. I may have to push out the release of my second story for this month and the novel for next month by about a week each, since I lost a week of work. I will update here as soon as I know.</p><p>In the meantime, I did get the Valentine's Day release up and it's out now! Once again, it is not a Valentine's day story or a romance or anything like that.

by one god, cursed by another millennia ago. To break his curse, Eric must win
the heart of his destined love. He knows Katie Donovan holds his future in her
hands the instant they speak. But winning her body and soul proves complicated
when monsters threaten his home. And if they learn her true identity, Katie
will never be safe again.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Eager to get her journalistic career back on track, Katie bargains
with her editor, offering an interview with the elusive billionaire and head of
Logan International in exchange for the chance to write more hard-hitting
stories. Thanks to her hateful psychic ability, Katie knows she can get the interview,
even though the Logans never answer reporter’s questions. She doesn’t expect to
have her world turned upside down by the gorgeously sexy Eric Logan, whose secrets
draw Katie in even more than her Pulitzer dreams.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The chemistry between them burns hot and promising, a passion
Katie finds impossible to resist. But Eric’s world holds terrifying horrors unlike
anything she’s ever encounter. Nightmare monsters and danger at every turn. Even
a Pulitzer might not be worth the risks. The more she learns about Eric, though,
the harder leaving his world will be. And surviving long enough to find out if
she can trust him might be the hardest part of all.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">~~~</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">NEWS</span></b></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">On top of the exciting news of a new paranormal romance series, I'm also starting the new year with a new store! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm pretty excited about this, though it's still a work in progress.

First, we have to do all this other celebrating -- or avoid the other celebrating as the case may be! Whichever it is for you, I hope this month brings you peace and some joy and some good books to read.</p><p>This month, I have a long short story/novelette contemporary romance "meet cute" releasing. It's set in Hawaii around Christmas, and if you're looking for something quick and fun and a little sweetly sexy and maybe even a little suspenseful, I hope you'll try <b>Poinsettias and Possibilities</b>. I spent a few Christmases in Hawaii over the years (went to college there), so I can say it's a lovely place to be for the holidays.</p><div><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://books2read.com/PoinsettiasAndPossibilities" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVjiaFTRT5-bDEhs23IQx9byRmyGMcV6ye1H5so4_4CyHd_p3tpaEaCgI_diF8S7ZhXssNKKRkrojJ2wKFUxhL-wMhz1Vhq1WQ8yC-A7anc71N5NepsUbckVeo0_KTtG_MT4hc5FuaP_Wgu2n8ZhgWXrx949ztJxdS9t7XkKDIND8zp7_IJAw44cUrw/s320/Poinsettias%20and%20Possibilities_Original.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>POINSETTIAS AND POSSIBILITIES<br /><a href="https://books2read.com/PoinsettiasAndPossibilities" target="_blank">eBook </a></b></div><div><br /><i>Christmas in Hawaii is just what she needs…<br /></i><br /></div><div>When a disaster with her former boss sends Jessica Warwick to Hawaii to dog-sit for a college friend, she expects to spend a few months escaping her past and working out her future. And Christmas on the North Shore in Hawaii definitely qualifies as a nice consolation prize after her frightening Thanksgiving. She doesn’t count on the sexy firefighter next door disturbing her peace.<br /><br /></div><div>Kevin Nakoa knows Jessica spells disaster the minute his neighbor introduces the new dog-sitter. She’s temporary, only on Oahu for six months, and Kevin isn’t a winter fling kind of guy. Even if the sexy New Yorker has him rethinking that stance. But he promised his neighbor he’d keep an eye on Jessica. And when an escaped dog forces him into spending time with her, Kevin knows he’s in trouble.<br /><br /></div><div>Christmas in Hawaii brings a reckoning for Jessica. But also a lot of hope. And with Kevin, the possibility for more.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~</div><div><br /></div><div>Next month, <i>finally</i>, the launch of a new paranormal romance series that I've had percolating in the back of my head for years now. There was even an earlier version of the first book--written years ago! I'm so excited to have the series hitting the shelves soon. It's been a long time in coming. It combines a little monster horror (not monster romance--yet--strictly horror monsters in the first three books), some interesting mythology, fated mates, and a twist on the idea of a shapeshifter. I hope readers will enjoy it!</div><div><br /></div><div>It's a bit darker than my Tiger Shifters series, but not by much, so if you like dark, scary paranormal romance, this might be just for you. But there are references to the murder of family members (happened before the book started), so if that's a problem for you, this might be one to miss.</div><div><br /></div><div>The eBook is currently available for <a href="https://books2read.com/DarknessinStone" target="_blank">preorder </a>at a special preorder price. Buy the book now or during the first two weeks after release, and you'll save 60% off the regular price! A little treat to thank readers and celebrate the launch of this new series.

(And if we've missed some, please let me know so we can try to get the books to those systems!)</p><p class="MsoNormal">Finally, if you want to stay up-to-date on my new releases, sales, excerpts, cover reveals, etc... and have it all delivered to your inbox, please <a href="https://bit.ly/KatSimonsNewsletter" target="_blank"><b>subscribe to my mailing list</b></a>. It goes out once a month (occasionally more if something exciting comes up like a sale). All new subscribers receive a free, exclusive short story from my Tiger Shifters paranormal romance series. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Mate Run </i>is only available through the newsletter.</p><p class="MsoNormal">And next month (October), I'll be giving all current and new subscribers an additional free novella in the Cary Redmond world. This novella will also only be available to newsletter subscribers. <b><i>When Cary Met Ariel</i></b>, is one of the Cary origin stories, though I wasn't sure I'd ever write this one. Cary decided to tell me the whole story this summer, so now I have a present for the newsletter. If you subscribe now, you will get this story in the October newsletter. If you subscribe after it goes out to current subscribers, it will be included in the welcome email.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Until next month, enjoy the start of Spooky Season! I hope it brings you some delightful reading.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><br /></div>Kat Simonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17382480721660344513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528131594259803153.post-89656233775039766072022-08-16T03:00:00.029-04:002022-08-16T15:49:50.397-04:00August Releases and UpdatesThis month I have two releases out. One is a short story from the HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND GUARDIAN SPELLS collection releasing as a standalone eBook. More on that one below.<div><br /></div><div>The other release is a <b><i><span style="color: red;">brand new</span></i></b> Demon Witch novella, <a href="https://books2read.com/HowlingDreadful" target="_blank"><i>Howling Dreadful</i></a>!<div><br /></div><div><i>Howling Dreadful</i> goes back to the first time Angie met Sebastian. And it's not exactly a typical Meet Cute. This book releases on August 23rd.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://books2read.com/HowlingDreadful" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm4kCiwdKc-zKw32QdxeHwnyajg96e5vvyJpTlDU69VRjhmRx5swWTKDDMySx1zAEHPRBi4WlQA94qyRDqUjlRwl-BXf9oWqxBbkosvSRS9LhV_FjIFNtIttEgJCIQfh9t5vI0Z_yT6qQfAqDqn4OceN6WnVomrFHeLVkdnrauQAgsEgmkvJlBKZ7MPg/s320/Howling%20Dreadful_Original.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><b>HOWLING DREADFUL</b></div><div><b>A Demon Witch Novella</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><a href="https://books2read.com/HowlingDreadful" target="_blank">eBook </a></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>A demon plague is not a fun meet cute…</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Angie Jordan, powerful witch and psychic, should be focused
on midterms and getting through college. Not hunting demons. That’s a demon
hunter’s job. But when the hunter who saved her life as a child returns and asks
a favor, Angie can’t refuse.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">When that hunter brings her protégé, and he’s gorgeous and
has a sexy English accent… Well, that’s just rude.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Angie knows more about the demon realms than any witch
should. Stopping those who would unleash a plague on her world is a calling she
must answer. Even if that means doing a job she’s not meant to do. She can’t
afford the distraction of a sexy accent and gorgeous eyes. Not if she wants to
survive.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Failure means the devastation and destruction of everything
she holds dear.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But success could cost her her soul.</div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~</div><div><br /></div><div>If you like reading in chronological order for stories, first of all, I'm sorry! I know I'm writing the short stories and novellas related to the main series out of order. I write them as they come to me, and only when Angie feels the need to tell me about a particular incident in her past.</div><div><br /></div><div>But if you've been hoarding the stories and want the chronological order, it's <i><a href="https://books2read.com/HowlingDreadful" target="_blank">Howling Dreadful</a></i>, <i><a href="https://books2read.com/MoonlitStrange" target="_blank">Moonlit Strange</a></i>, then the start of the series proper with <a href="https://books2read.com/BoneLanternWitch" target="_blank">BONE LANTERN WITCH</a>. In September, the next novel in the series is out! <a href="https://books2read.com/SpiderwebWitch" target="_blank">SPIDERWEB WITCH</a>, out September 13, 2022 continues Angie's struggles with the demon hunter world and her feelings for Sebastian. Check back next month for more details on that, but the preorder is available now!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~</div><div><br /></div><div>The standalone eBook for <i>Going Out of Business: Everything's for Sale </i>is also out this month and available now!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://books2read.com/GoingOutofBusiness" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdWQPUN99Gj7q3EQqwuqOpIEbiEiyWdpyxeuVESn2PHIwLwPAYawzk5zXVgMma6SUSpwzVfygzcE8biavUnNSOUBZ8BJ65jm_TspUWELbFxvM2o0mY2CWt2q9fBUlXGqlh5BY1mIr14I2q00LirtXyrCEinK-oHNCDx0j-7rbiA1Kpaju8hCr3_5D3Q/s320/Going%20Out%20of%20Business_Original.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><b>GOING OUT OF BUSINESS: EVERYTHING'S FOR SALE</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><a href="https://books2read.com/GoingOutofBusiness" target="_blank">eBook </a></b></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Completing the job isn’t the hard part.

different realms. For a lot of different people. Sometimes dangerous people. Sometimes
desperate people. Sometimes they’re both. And sometimes the things they want prove
almost impossible to find.</div><div><br /></div><div>She specializes in those things.</div><div><br /></div><div>Teri’s good at her job. And she gets paid well for her work.
But once on a job, she’s got one way, and only one way, home. Collect the difficult
thing. Then find the doorway back to her realm.</div><div><br /></div><div>If she succeeds, she gets paid. And gets to go home. But if
she fails…</div><div><br /></div><div>She’ll never see the ones she loves again.</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p></div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~</div><div><br /></div><div>This short story made its first appearance in last year's <a href="https://books2read.com/HauntsHowlsGuardianSpells" target="_blank">HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND GUARDIAN SPELLS</a>.
