I’m positively THRILLED to show off the new cover for COYOTE DREAMS (now) book 4 of the Walker Papers! Watching these covers come to life has been a real joy, and I especially loved the original cover for COYOTE DREAMS, so seeing this one being so vibrant and perfect in a whole different way just makes me so very very happy. COYOTE DREAMS will be out in July 2024, so get your preorders in now! ♥ Joanne Walker has accepted her path as a shaman—but she’s lost her spirit guide…
I have been remiss in telling you about this Storybundle I’m in!!! URBAN SHAMAN is one of eleven releases (Two of which are box sets with multiple titles! A third of which has an additional novella! SO MANY BOOKS!!!) in this Storybundle, all supernatural detective stories of one kind or another! The first four books – Olympia Investigations by Sherry D. Ramsey, Death Coach by Sandra Wickham, Blood Kissed by Keri Arthur, and Dying on Second by E.C. Bell – are only $5 (or more if you feel like it!)…

Four books if you count URBAN SHAMAN’s re-release: DEATH IN IRISH…

Today’s question is a very, very old one: “What’s the most difficult part when constructing a system of magic for a world?” That is a Very Good Question. So, like, let’s take the Walker Papers and the Negotiator Trilogy, which are my two longest/best known serieseses. You would not *believe* how many books I read about shamanism, animism, and Native American cultures while preparing to write the Walker Papers. LOTS. MANY. BUNCHES. (I was frankly slightly less concerned…
So I have VERY BIG NEWS! News which you might have already heard if you follow me other places, but VERY BIG none-the-less! I have gotten the rights to the Walker Papers back!!! Now, I’ve learned that this is a degree of Writer Speak, so let me translate: I never *lost* the rights, per se.
