New story day! This shiny new anthology just erupted into the world, featuring stories by many great authors--and me! Remember "For Lack of a Bed"? Well I have a sequel story here, "An Asexual Succubus," about Lili, our ace succubus having a bit of a midlife crisis at the monster pet store.

Surprise! The big Barnes & Noble pre-order sale is up! 25% off all pre-orders with the code PREORDER25. That includes my second novel, WEARING THE LION. Are you in the mood for a goddess getting her life together and a hero with a found family of monsters?

Preordering is one of the best way to support authors and you can get my queer YA horror Deadstream (weird, gay, a creepypasta in book form, "rear window meets the ring") for extra cheap right now! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/deadstream...
