Here is the new cover for DEMON HUNTS, Book Six of the Walker Papers! DEMON HUNTS will be re-released in April 2025! What consistently amazes me about the new covers for the Walker Papers is that I loved the original covers and it’s just impossible to imagine that the new ones can live up to the originals. But I really feel like they have, and I’m so happy with that. It’s really exciting for me to be able to get these books back out into the world with a really…

20 years!
This week marks the 20th anniversary of me becoming a full-time writer! I’ve published 52 books in that time (with 2 more — PARTRIDGE IN A BEAR TREE and DEATH OF AN IRISH DRUID, do feel free to preorder :D — due out in the next 8 weeks), 13 novellas, a dozen or so short stories not associated with longer collections, and a graphic novel.

But yesterday I got to get started on it, and… I’ve talked often about how I tend to get to the 1/3rd mark in any book, no matter how long, and hit a wall that I have…
september was so busy, omg.
I spent a lot of September going “Jesus I’m completely overwhelmed how am I going to get everything done I can’t this is horrible” kinds of day, and I just wanted to crawl in a hole and cry. Then I looked at my Thinks To Do list for the month, which…was completely insane. I did So Goddamn Much in September. This is not actually quite everything, I’d forgotten to put things on and I’d not expanded a couple of the dropdowns. No wonder I was freaking out. So that, folks,…
Release Day: Lion on Loan
Positively delighted to bring you LION ON LOAN, the first of a new paranormal romance series set at a wildlife park in Ireland! :D This is a series inspired by Fota Wildlife Park in Cork, Ireland, a location I really love and strongly recommend anyone visiting Cork go out to see. I was chatting with friends and thought, wouldn’t it be fun if a wildlife park also doubled as a shifter vacation spot/refuge? Next thing I knew, I had a bunch of titles and a plan, so what was I…
