For all of those amazing people who have already devoured Magic & Murder and are demanding book 2…

I promise you, we’ve got something in the works. While I’m marketing book 1 and connecting with the community and readers, I’m also working on my editor’s first round of edits for book 2.

No announcements yet, bear in mind what you see here is a WORKING TITLE ONLY.

But we are working. And I’m so excited to share what we have in store for Avery and Saga next.

We’re exploring grief, family dynamics, and the unintended consequences of revenge.

Solarpunk & criminal mystery in our actual history…

Tax the rich.

Fair taxation would eliminate the problems caused by their capitalist wealth, and they would still be extremely wealthy.

Excerpt:

Hudsons’s was never empty, but it did have lulls, and with it came a kind of energy shift akin to a long exhalation. The moment to breathe between rushes. A few bakery regulars, some scattered students... which made the newcomer sitting at the bar an easy to spot anomaly.

First, because they were not sitting so much as slumping onto the bar, and second, they had pulled their coat over their head.

The telltale signs of a hangover.

Saga rounded back behind the counter, a tub of dirty dishes resting against her hip, and as she did she caught a glimpse of white hair falling from beneath the cover of fabric. She barely stepped into the kitchen to set down the tub before pivoting back to investigate the poor soul melting into her counter. She approached tentatively, not wanting to startle them or further aggravate the migraine that had likely been their undoing. She waited, giving them time to notice her presence.

No reaction.

She placed her hands on the counter and lowered herself slightly, speaking as softly as the din of the cafe would allow. “Fancy a cuppa, soldier?”

Brendan Fraser's commentary for The Mummy is absolute perfection. He's very sweet and very funny and at one point after several minutes of silence he basically says "Oh I'm still here, I just got caught up watching the movie because it's so great" 10/10
