Today the re-release of DEMON HUNTS, book six of the Walker Papers, is in the wild! Available here in e-book or print at Amazon Available in print at Barnes & Noble It’s been the weirdest year of Joanne Walker’s life, and the last thing she wants is for it to go out with a bang, magically speaking. Then again, she can’t remember the last time she got what she wanted, either. She’s lost Coyote, her shamanic mentor. The burgeoning relationship with her boss, Captain Morrison, has been put on the…
how annoyed am i that that rhymes and ‘state of the catie’ doesn’t I had a dream of knocking out 50K a month several times this year. So far I’ve not yet cracked 100K for the year.
