Hi friends!
I'm proud to announce that I've finalized the book cover for The Vanishing Castle and chosen September 23rd as the release date. Add it to your "Want to Read" list on Goodreads.
I even finished the blurb for the back:
Simarron isn't a detective, he's just a centaur with a clipboard and a nose for trouble. He left his homeland to get a professional job in the city as a magical safety inspector. However, his new life isn't quite as he imagined it to be and his fellow housemates at Slant Row Boarding House (which is definitely not haunted) are shadier than an enchanted forest.
β
When a castle disappears and an alchemist ends up dead, Simarron must choose between the cozy, safe rule-bound life he's always dreamed of and the principles that won't let him walk away. He is a safety inspector, after all, and the city isn't safe with a killer on the loose.
β
A cozy mystery set in a richly imagined gaslamp fantasy world, The Vanishing Castle delights with magical intrigue, a quirky found family, and a centaur sleuth you won't soon forget.
It's getting so close!
I am waiting for my proof copy of the paperback before I set up pre-orders for both the eBook and paperback on Amazon. The eBook will also be available on Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Kobo. I should also have a way to order paperbacks directly on my website.
If you are interested in reading a free advance (digital) copy of my book and leaving me a review around release day, please reply to this email with your Kindle email address.
Cats!
Cats and writing just go together, don't they? Now for the promised picture of our new family members, Mio (tabby) and Mayu (black)!
New Short Story!
Expect spells, tricks, and a highly opinionated apron, all in 1,200 words.
β
How's your summer going (or winter if you live in the southern hemisphere)? While I enjoy the extra daylight, I am ready for fall now!

Thanks for reading,
