I can’t believe how fast my release date is coming up on this. I can’t believe how busy I am. The other anatomy prof has emergency surgery this week so I’m teaching her classes and mine. I’m going to be exhausted.

I’m back with my upcoming release Cassadaga Nights. You met Ryan last week. This week you get to meet Santino and his partner, Cam and they are just a bit unusual. Also I’m pretty excited to have been asked for a sequel for this so I need to start thinking of more trouble to put them into.

“Where the hell is the garlic?”

“Knowing you, it’s everywhere.”

Santino glared over his shoulder at his partner, Cam, who sat at the kitchen table watching him cook. “You like garlic.”
He concentrated on the braid of bulbs on the counter. It wiggled, then flew over to his hand.

I do. And not walking to get the garlic is lazy,” she singsonged.

He yanked two cloves out of the head and hit them with the flat of his knife. “You know what our mentor says— The best way to improve your skills is to use them.”

“You ran around your parents’ house saying ‘I can use the Force!’ when you were a kid, didn’t you?” Cam cocked her head to the side. “Probably still do.”

Santino held up two fingers and his thumb, making a pinching motion. “I find your lack of faith disturbing,” he intoned.

Blurb : Santino Bellomi and his coworker, Cam, are sent to Cassadaga, Florida by the Aspida Pneuma, a group of psychics and mages. Their job is to rescue a nixie from a polluted lake and to check out the town, which is known for its psychics. New recruits to the Aspida are always welcome and where better than a spiritualist camp to hunt for them? What Santino wants most, however, is to finish the assignment quickly. He isn’t a fan of heat and humidity, and he’d looking forward to a well-earned vacation once the mission is over.

Ryan Doyle grew up in Cassadaga, where being psychic runs in the family. Ryan has never roamed far from home, though it’s hard being a geeky gay, wannabe urban fantasy author living in a small town. His job as one of the town psychics is fairly routine until he meets someone new. Ryan has never encountered anyone with a psychic shield so strong until Santino sits down for a reading. Intrigued, he asks Santino out even though Santino is as secretive as he is fun.

Santino hopes to win Ryan over both for himself and for the Aspida. And he’s hoping his skills in the kitchen will swing the balance in his favor. Ryan has almost given up on finding love, living in rural Florida. Can a seductive tourist be the answer to his dreams?

Things never run smoothly for those in the Aspida. What should have been a simple rescue mission is plagued by mosquitoes, enraged ghosts, and someone or something draining residents of their life force. Ryan’s first foray into adventure may be his last.

I’m finally in a position to snippet from my upcoming paranormal novella Cassadaga Night. I used to live in Cassadaga, FL which has in it a psychic center and that features heavily in this. Also Natasha Snow did an amazing job on the cover.

Ryan drew his shield over himself, letting his psychic senses dampen down. All day, most days, he dropped his armor, walking around exposed, vulnerable on all sides to the flood of stimuli. Such was the life of a professional psychic. He was unable to cut himself off when he was on the job. His clients depended on his abilities. While he could cold read a person to give Houdini a run for his money, Ryan was the real deal when it came to being psychic.

I’m watching it rain and rain. Also I wanted to start sharing from the novella this week but I still don’t have the buy links so next week whether or not I have them. I also have some arcs of it and could send them to reviewers but I never know how to approach a reviewer. Anyone have some tips?

Anyhow, here is a little more of These Haunted Hills instead of the novella.

Wrapping his arms around Brendan, Josh kissed his way down the man’s bearded neck, breathing in the warm musky scent of him, marred by the remains of bug spray they were both coated in. He broke off because he could taste the hints of repellant. Great, now wasn’t the best time to think of that. A shower beforehand was hardly foreplay, unless of course they did it together. Yeah Brendan’s shower was miniscule but maybe he’d suggest it. A bath might be their best bet.

A drive by posting. I’m in the middle of the proof edits for my upcoming novella and hopefully by next week I’ll have some pre-order links and can share it. Other than work’s a dumpster fire and I’ve had time for nothing.

More of These Haunted Hills. They finally made it home.

Brendan’s hand shook slightly as he unlocked the door. He yanked Josh in after him, slamming the door shut before pushing Josh against it. His mouth was more than demanding this time. He devoured Josh who wondered if Brendan was afraid he’d lose his nerve. Belatedly it occurred to Josh that there was probably nothing resembling a lubricant in the cabin. Brendan hadn’t come here expecting a night of passion. Josh had a couple condoms in his wallet for all the good that was going to do him.

Screeching in late. I was working all day and then went to another virtual Abney Park concert which was a blast. It’s like being front row with no strangers bumping into you and you can dance if you want to without people complaining.

Still working on These Haunted Hills Josh and Brendan are leaving the haunted hotel after getting spooked.

“Is that thing following us?” Brendan peered in the rear view mirror.

“Does it feel like you’re being followed? I stopped feeling the pressure once we got in the truck.”

“Me too but I wasn’t sure if it could hide.” Brendan scowled. “Conversations I never thought I’d be having. My characters yes, me no.”

“We can talk about other things but make them not too distracting because if I have to pull this truck over.”

Brendan snorted. “I can imagine TMZ right now, guess what world famous author got caught with his pants down in the hills of Appalachia.”

“I’ll get my fifteen seconds of fame….until my students see. I don’t know if they’d be scandalized or jealous or both.”

“I’d go with both.” Brendan nudged Josh. “Drive faster.”

“Any faster and we’ll be the next ghosts to haunt these hills.” Josh protested but tromped on the accelerator. Trucks weren’t exactly made for speed on curvy roads but at least he was used to driving the back country roads.
