Party tonight! And an art reveal
Jan. 30th, 2026 04:01 pmYes, it's National Shutdown Day, but when we rescheduled last week's book launch party at Pandemonium because of the two feet of snow bearing down on us... we didn't know that today would become National Shutdown Day. So the party is going forward at 6:30pm tonight, at Pandemonium Books & Games, and I hope folks come out even if they don't spend anything. :-)
The party is for the launch of Bound by the Blood, my BDSM-meets-urban-fantasy thriller novel, first in The Vanished Chronicles.

It's been a rough couple of weeks between the ICE murders in Minnesota and other things (remember invading Venezuela? yeah, and a list of other things), making it really difficult to maintain my focus on anything but doomscrolling or really brainless phone games.
I deleted all the games (except Words with Friends and Pokemon Go!) from my phone last week and hunkered down to finish the revisions on The Mystery of the Bitten Peach, the lesbian Ancient China time-travel fantasy romance novella I shared sketches from recently. I finally solved the mystery for myself of what was missing from act III, and I'm super happy with how it hangs together now. dave ring at Neon Hemlock is giving it the final editing pass, and the paperback book is now up for pre-order on the Neon Hemlock site!

The cover in all its glory can be viewed in the Patreon post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/party-tonight-149532475
The art is by Jenn So (https://jennlso.com/), with layout and design by dave ring, the mastermind of Neon Hemlock.
I'll post an excerpt soon?
See (some of) you tonight.
