New Book, FREE Novella, and Sale

I'll keep this short since I'm exhausted from doing all this, but Creature Comforts, book four in the Inner Circle series, is up for preorder, with a release date of October 29, 2026. This one will take place in Dallas and bring back some old friends (Kirin) and enemies (Rifkin).

Also expect some BBQ with a twist.

Fantastic Beasts and How to Eat Them

Welcome y’all to the Star and Lute Stock Show and Exhibition Hall! Take a gander at our cockatrices, chimeras, hodags, and all your other favorite cryptids. Or try your luck at the enchantment and spell jar competitions, calf scramble, and chili cookoff. The greatest gathering of magicians this side of the Rio Grande; every enchanter worth their salt will be here.

Everyone but Corbin, that is.

He just wants to see the sights with his BFF Kirin, but a case involving an AWOL employee and a hidden hunk of unicorn meat mean he might miss the whole shebang. Now teamed with former foe Alec Rifkin, the three must chase down an illicit creature-smuggling ring before they wind up on the butcher block themselves.    

I also have a new, FREE novella, which ties in to both book one and book four - it takes place a few months before Rites of Passage yet contains a lot of characters who will feature in Creature Comforts (they also show up in some of the short stories hidden around this site).

Amateur investigator Anita Yeager has hit pay dirt: irrefutable video evidence of the existence of magic. Sold to the right news outlet and she’ll say goodbye to her nights of ramen and box wine.

The only question now is price.

But when the enigmatic Mister comes to claim it, she turns the tables and makes the magician reveal the hidden mystical world surrounding us. Over the course of one incredible night, she will haggle with enchanters, meet a cursed DJ, uncover the impossible origin of an urban legend, and sample otherworldly barbecue in a strip mall speakeasy.

Peel back the veil and meet the characters inhabiting the world of Inner Circle with this FREE digital prequel novella.

The only question now is: Are You In?

I'll also do a guest blog post over at Witty and Sarcastic Book Club and figured I'd throw all my books on sale for the week of July 20-26, 2026. So grab some.
