Our new book, A Dark Whimsy, came out yesterday, opening as number 30 on Zon’s “Monster Horror” chart, right between Cassandra Khaw and Stephen King. It’s a good start in great company.

If we could somehow manage 10 preorders for A Dark Whimsy before its November 13th release, I’d consider it a major win.
Preorders for the ebook of A Dark Whimsy are now live on the Zon. A strong book release would be a neat thing, so please consider preordering.

If you look very close and give it great consideration, you can perhaps pinpoint when Tor Nightfire added our Insta post to their story. It’s very subtle.

Last month we had over 11,000 KU pages read across our books, whereas this month we’re on track for maybe 2,000.
These things really do bounce up and down from one month to the next. Can’t decipher a rhyme or reason to it.
