Hello, friend and reader. I hope that this newsletter finds you and your family safe and well. In the Seattle are, we are spending a lot of time in our homes right now, hoping to slow the spread of the virus. Kids are out of school, and my daughter and I are getting some quality time together, along with continuing our work—her with lessons at home, and me with the business of stories.

I wanted to take a moment to share some news about book two in The Faery Rehistory series, The Raven Lady, which is scheduled for release on October 13. I am thrilled to share the new cover with you—the Blackstone designer has really outdone himself! 

I would love for you to run out and preorder, but as of this writing, only the Kobo version of the eBook is available for preorder. But if you'd like to receive notification when the Kindle version is up, you can follow me on Amazon. Print versions ARE currently available for preorder, and you can see the options on my website.

I arranged a blog tour for the cover reveal with some of my favorite bloggers. You can support them by checking out the posts! They're each offering something special...

Book Pushers (giveaway of book 1, The Absinthe Earl)

Whiskey With My Book (guest post by yours truly)

Whispers & Wonder (giveaway of book 1, The Absinthe Earl)

Let me first refer you back to a guest author feature I ran in the fall, from the witchy and wonderful Gwen Mitchell, on self care. We can all use it right now.

Last night I read some wonderful words spoken by Neil Gaiman that I believed would be a balm to creators everywhere. (So I tweeted it, and to my utter delight, he retweeted me!) Here is the tweet, and you can click it to go to the article it cites...
