Samhain blessings! It’s out today, my lovely book, the third of the Tales of the End Times series: The Way to Witch Farm. Read an excerpt and get links for book and series on my blog. You can also get the book free on Kindle Unlimited for the next bit.

I've finished a draft of the third book! It ends now with "once upon a time."

[marytrepanier]

My demanding editor gives me the stink-eye.

[marytrepanier]

I'm snowed in and writing!

We're nearing winter solstice, the longest night.

[marytrepanier]

In which I celebrate this turn of the wheel.

Potato is practicing to trick-or-treat as Queen of the Fey, and I'm working on book 3.
