Is it December already?

In my eternal quest to get caught up, I'm presenting the Fall Anthology from VTP that a story of mine is in. It's the Fifth in the Appalachia Paranormal series and closes out the world of the 1920s Sherritt witches. Next will be a series of adventures set in, I believe, the 1950s. And I'll continue to explore the modern world in that series. Plenty of adventures to go!

Now for the plug. Remember, you get four great stories by talented authors in this collection, not just mine.

Victory Tales Press offers four sweet to sensual stories to stir your heart and satisfy your craving for romance. Our talented storytellers dare you to enter a world where romance dwells in the most unlikely places. Ghost of a Chance by Gerald Costlow Billy Sherritt, the only warlock born in 300 years, is now a teenager and facing some choices about his life that he doesn't like. He unexpectedly gets sent back in time to 1640 in England, to meet the previous warlock and namesake Bill Sherritt and his sweetheart, Abigail. A Witchfinder is about to show up and the entire witch community is in danger. Billy wants to help, but he arrived as a disembodied ghost and he's forced to stay with Bill wherever he goes. If he can't help this couple escape and make their way to America, his own future might be in danger. So far, he's only managed to compound their love life. It's hard to have a romantic rendezvous with a teenage ghost in the room.

"I'm not a Pooka," he told her, flashing that wicked grin of his. "I'm the Pooka. And I'm not a six foot tall rabbit and my name isn't Harvey. Call me Pook."

Trudy Macalester is a young, single school teacher living with her newly remarried father. Her biggest problem is her love life – or rather lack of one. Then she stumbles across a book of spells, and accidentally summons a magical being from the old country. Pook makes no secret that he's here to seduce her. The problem is, Trudy suspects this handsome rogue is hiding secrets that might be dangerous for her and everyone around her. The legends are clear on one thing: when it comes to dealing with Fairies, nothing is ever as it seems.

Conference of Powers is now available!



The Elf King would love to forge an alliance with the Dragons to wipe out the human Empire...if only Elves

and Dragons weren't violently allergic to each other, and nobody wants to go near a dragon having a sneezing attack.

King Justin would like nothing more than a little peace and quiet throughout his Empire...if only the magical Powers weren't constantly at each other's throats and busy settling grudges.

The Ice Queen would like nothing more than to finance an army so she could expand her little Queendom, if only her treasure vaults weren't empty, unlike King Justin's.

And the Royal Wizard Bertram would like nothing more than to get through this Conference of Powers with both the Royal Palace and his job intact...

If you would like to read a story that reviewers say is genuinely "laugh out loud funny" then this for you. It doesn't just skewer the conventions of sword and sorcery; it deep fries and serves them to you on a bun.
Available at find online book outlets.

"Case of the Missing Succubus" now published!

Originally part of the Plethory of Powers collection, these novellas have been out of print for years. Now re-edited and released by Rebecca J Vickery Publishing, this story began the world of The Weaving and will soon be followed by second editions of the out-of-print classics and even new stories to continue the adventures of Rose and Keyotie and the gang.

I'm also trying to brainstorm ideas for promotion and have some ebooks to hand out for honest reviews.

Thanks to Rebecca who remembered these books fondly and helped me get them back into reader's hands.

Rose, the Witch of the Woods and High Priestess, is called upon by the Dean of White College to solve a murder mystery, find a missing girl, and get things under control before someone else winds up dead.

Her assistant, a shape-shifting coyote named Keyotie, relishes his reputation as the Trickster and greatly enjoys the company of females. But he also possesses a sharp nose and a certain talent for solving puzzles.

When they discover the missing girl is not human and other things are not exactly as they appear, their quest gets even more complicated.

In case y'all wonder what's happening, I've finished the re-edits of my set of novellas first published together as a "A Plethory of Powers" and I'll be republishing a second edition of the stories separately. Also, I have a great story ready to go on Victory Tale's summer anthology. Titled "Nancy Sherritt, Frontier Witch", it's the story of Gran when she was a young woman first setting out for adventure in 1850s America. Oh, and I have a guest article up in the blog Once Upon A Word where I discuss the evolution of a writer's characters in an ongoing series. And Spring is here!

Several new stories published!

It's been a great start to 2015, with two of my stories being published back to back.

First off, we have a new episode of the Appalachia Series, titled "Ring for a Lady", in the VTP romantic anthology "Fated to be Yours".  This story takes Seth and Jolene, two sweethearts from opposite sides of the track, into their next adventure as Seth (now a local Deputy) enlists Jolene's aid to solve the mystery of a stabbing and kidnapping on the mountain.  Having the Sherritt witches and Crazy Jack involved, there's magic and myth and a touch of mountain humor.  Oh, and Jolene's father also hatches plans to split them up for good.

  Just follow the like to Amazon.com to read the beginning of the story.  Oh, and these other tales are also great!

And the next announcement is that my story from a previous anthology has been published by Rebecca as a stand alone short!  This one is "Taking Liberty" and for less than a dollar, you can download an exciting adventure with twists and turns sure to keep you satisfied.

"Taking Liberty" is the story of Libby "Liberty" Bell, a waitress at a local diner, hiding out from an abusive former lover who won't leave her alone.  She strikes up a steamy romance with a local hunky fireman, but wouldn't you know it, that old boyfriend tracks her down.  Will she have to run away to hide again, or risk a confrontation?  Oh, and turns out there is a serial killer hanging around town at the same time.

So pop on over and give this one a sample.  And if you like these stories, you can click on the author's name and see about a dozen more stories to enjoy.
