Feeling the summer vibe? Enjoy those rays or dreaming of the beach? If the closest thing you've got right now is switching out a 60w bulb with a 100w one, I'm here for you! Slip into the sunshine with Maggie in Lazy, Hazy Days of MacKays, a Maggie MacKay Holiday Special. These shortish stories (about ~50 pages) stand alone and can be read no matter where you are in the series.

In this one, Maggie and Killian have to take down a heat monster and save a mermaid on the Santa Monica pier.

And as a special bonus for opening up this email, here are actual pictures from my trip to Santa Monica and the camera obscura featured in this tale. While it is currently closed, it is one of those hidden Los Angeles gems no one knows about and worth the trip inside.

Already read Lazy, Hazy Days of MacKays? In fact, read my whole oeuvre? Well, how about checking out the Fantasy Book Fair! Maggie for Hire is featured in there, but so are a whole ton of other books featured by other authors. Browse around like it is Scholastic Book Day and see if something catches your fancy!

Take me to the fair
