Hello!

It's November! Today, November 1st, I'll be the Grown Up Book fair at The Clean Gallery in Rockford IL.

I set up last night and there are so many vendors, mostly local authors! Please come out and say hi. It'll be a lovely time.

Lucy of the Broken States is out! The book links to buy are on my website here.

And you can still read the first chapter for free here.

Today, I'm trying something different in my newsletter!

Though I have spoken of her before, my friend AE McKenna released another book this year. Visions and Lies.

I loved this book. Loved it. I was blown away by a twist. You'll have to read it to find out what the twist is. You can find Visions and Lies here.

What's the book about? Description after the pretty cover.

Do you have unfinished business with a deceased loved one? Call psychic Willamina Dade at the Ethereal Eye.

By day, Willa takes care of her grandmother, and by night, she leads séances to help the living move on—and make enough cash to dig herself out of debt. So when the state declares Kendra Bruce dead after being missing for 5 years, Willa jumps at the chance to give closure to her parents.

But she knows this won’t be an ordinary séance as soon as the grieving family links hands with the prominent and wealthy members of Starglen’s elite. Among them Rex Slater—Kendra’s ex and A Very Bad Idea wrapped up in a three-piece suit.

To make things worse, the séance reveals secrets about more than just Kendra’s fate, secrets that powerful people want to keep buried. They'll do anything to force Willa to abandon her investigation. Even take away her magic.

The one person she can’t dodge is Rex. He’s showing up everywhere with the right words and a better smile. But is he trying to help or to distract her from succeeding?

Can Willa discover who killed Kendra Bruce before she finds her own watery grave?

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope y'all had a safe Halloween!
