It’s alive!
Muahahaha!
Ahem. Sorry, I let the inner Mad Scientist out a little far, there. I’m just so excited over this book. I put a lot of time and effort into it, and it’s finally out there in the cold, hard, cruel world. Who will hopefully find it as creepily cute as I do.
It all started with a misread sign along the road. And now it’s the accidental novel that was supposed to be a short story and kept growing and growing.
You can read snippets here, and here, if you aren’t ready to simply click the ‘buy’ button. If you want a paper copy to hold and hug and cherish you’ll have to wait a couple of weeks – but it is in process. 
“Dastardly murder and dark magic in Appalachia, Possum Creek Massacre will drag you and hold you.” — DJ Butler, author of Witchy Eye
“The knife slips in so skillfully, it doesn’t even hurt, at first. And the following paragraphs play off that beautifully, slowly. Each has an intro that tells you, up front, that the Bad Thing is coming, and then resumes, depicting the surroundings as if they were slowly unraveling. And there is a bit of dread mixed in.”
– Papa Pat Rambles, for Possum Creek Massacre
Possum Creek Massacre
Renowned for her witch hunting skills, Detective Amaya Lombard knew that being summoned from the coastal rainforest of Oregon to the backwoods hollers of Kentucky meant the case was something special. The roots of evil plunge deeply into the past, and the blood soaked history of Kentucky’s witch warded houses and barns may hold the key to keeping her alive in the present. Someone has learned that killing for magic yields great power, and Amaya is helpless to use anything but her senses to keep them from killing again. She’s gotten lucky, she walked into a murder scene and gained unlikely allies. Perhaps that will be enough to keep her from joining the dead.
Let me know if you enjoyed it!

One-clicked. It’s on my Kindle now and I’ll start reading it later today. Really looking forward to it. Thanks!
No thank you! I look forward to hearing if you liked it.
I wish I could leave a review, but I’ve checked a couple of your other books and the reviews I wrote aren’t there (even though I was totally up-front about being your mother). Oh, well, it’s a very good story, and I hope lots of people read it.
It’s quite likely because the last couple of books you have edited for me. It’s fine! There will be reviews eventually.
No measurable time interval between reading, “Available Now!” And buying the book.
One of the Transylvanian voice actors that lives in my brain did murmur, “It’s alive, it’s alive!” when I was getting the Kindle to make sure it showed up.
That’s most likely because the Appalachian voice actor was on break.
Lol! The Appalachian dialect is closer to old Elizabethan English, so perhaps I should find a suitable Shakespeare quote for the next book.
Thank you!
Congratulations! I really enjoy the early crack at it that you gave me and I am so pleased to see it out in the wild. Will you have hard copies with you to sell at LibertyCon?
Oh, and now that it is out, I have sent up a review.
Well, two clicks for me. Had to get Snow in her Eyes, too. Looking forward to reading them.
