 Cover + Blurb Reveal

"Solving murders is easy. Surviving them is another story."

I'm thrilled to finally share the cover for THE DAPPER DETECTIVE with you all! Book releases later this Fall!

BLURB

Alfie Hughes, a dandy medium and consulting spiritualist to the homicide department of Nόtt Haven, is ready for a vacation from ghostly visitors and paranormal predicaments.

But when Alfie and his partner, Detective Sebastian Davies, are summoned by the vampire leader of the Crimson Bat Society to investigate the disappearances of supernatural members of the Night District, Alfie is forced to put those daydreams on hold.

What should have been a simple investigation might very well change their lives forever. That is, if they’re lucky enough to survive solving the case.

From author Dez Schwartz comes a bloodthirsty and haunting sequel to 'The Dandy Medium'.

Hello lovelies!

I'm so excited to finally reveal the cover for my M/M Contemporary Rom-Com releasing through NIneStar Press on JUNE 14TH! That's just one month away! HOLLYWOOD TO HORSES Mateo Harris, a retired Olympic Show Jumper, achieved just about everything he could want in life. Rising from a nobody to becoming a beloved gold-medalist, co-owning H&H Riding Academy with his cousin—and best friend—Emily Hall, and he’s one of the most powerful and respected men in his hometown of Sweetspire, VA. Nothing can shake the foundations of the life he’s built for himself. That is until he hears his nemesis and former crush, Christopher Wright II, has moved back to town. Christopher, a runaway movie star, has returned to Sweetspire to inherit the family business: Wright Stables, the only rival riding academy Mateo has ever had to worry about. With Christopher’s charm, talent, and fame taking charge, Mateo is faced with real competition both in and out of the arena. He’ll have to be at the top of his game to prove he’s still the number one equestrian in town, but every encounter with Christopher becomes as challenging as any obstacle he’s faced on horseback. "Hollywood To Horses" is a sweet, rivals-to-lovers, M/M Rom-Com with a HEA.

COVER REVEAL - THE DANDY MEDIUM

 

I'm thrilled to finally share the title and cover for my next novel with you all! THE DANDY MEDIUM will be headed your way in late Spring 2021 and is a M/M Gaslamp Fantasy story with plenty of ghosts, murder, and--of course--dapper occultists!

_____________________

Alfred “Alfie” Hughes is a spiritual medium who has more than enough people in his social circle. Unfortunately, they're all dead. That is until Detective Sebastian Davies arrives in Nótt Haven, a tourist town known for its active nightlife, and deems Alfie's abilities—perhaps, even his company—worthy of closer inspection.

A circus performer, known as The World Bender, mysteriously disappears and a slew of peculiar murders accumulate. Suspecting foul play as unusual as the crimes themselves, Sebastian enlists Alfie to guide him through the town's supernatural underbelly to find answers; and, in the process, Alfie might solve the biggest enigma of all: human connection.

___________________

I've been sitting on this cover since May so I'm thrilled to finally be able to show it off! It was designed by the talented London Montgomery.

And you can now add THE DANDY MEDIUM to your TBR on GOODREADS!

Also, check back later this month for some more exciting announcements! I hope you all have a very happy holiday season!

DREAM WEAVER Cover Reveal + Blurb

DREAM WEAVER is the final book in the ROAM trilogy and has:

✨ Celestials & Dreamscapes

✨ Mercury Made Me Do It

✨ Jackalope Elemental—whaaaat?!

Add it on Goodreads today! Preorders available soon. Book releases March 30th from NineStar Press.

Ethan Roam has faced a lot of nightmarish challenges—finding out he's a sandman, falling in love with a man who once hunted him, and thwarting attacks from The Order of Azoth; a secret occult organization set on using his bloodline to conquer the universe by controlling immortality. And the battle is far from over.

To defeat The Order and its leader, Phantom, Ethan must first find the original Sandman and bring the fight to the Dream World. Saving the universe might be too tall of an order for one dream creature but with the help of his friends and some Celestial beings with questionable motives, Ethan just might be able to weave a trap of surreal proportions.

I'll be sharing more from DREAM WEAVER soon, including some fun extras like moodboards and playlists. Be sure to follow me on Twitter if you haven't already as I'll be posting things daily.

As Ethan unravels the truth behind his nightmares and falls into his first experience with love, he also finds himself the target of a sinister plan.
