Beware of spilling ink!
Skate is a thief, trained and owned by the local crime syndicate, the Ink. When she tries to burgle a shut-in’s home, she gets caught by the owner—a powerful undead wizard. He makes a deal with her: “borrow” books from other wizards in return for a place to stay.

Caught between her growing fondness for the wizard and her past with the crime syndicate, Skate doesn’t know where her loyalties lie. But she’d better figure it out, because there’s a new player in town, one whose magical hypnotism puts them all at risk.

On the run!
Her mentor is dead, but he doesn’t have to stay that way. He’s left Skate a clue to bringing him back, and she and her friends are determined to follow it.

No sooner do they set out for unknown lands, however, than things get dangerous. Hot on their tail is the wizard Ossertine, furious over Skate’s part in her friend’s death and thirsty for revenge. Worse still are the attacks that come at night: dark, mysterious, and palpably evil.
​

In this race against time, magic, and implacable foes, Skate must rely on her wits and her friends to save not just her mentor’s life, but also her own.

Skate the Seeker
Still waiting. We’ve worked on blurbs, getting them ready for the back cover, but no further word so far. Keep looking for book 2 of Rag & Bone in September.

Media
There have been snow days, which means a lot of Disney and Netflix for the kids between bouts of snowfights and mattress jumps and digital school and art and reading. I’ve rewatched the second Incredibles movie, and I still really like it. The visuals, the characters, the twist – very fun, and always entertaining. This and the original have always been my favorite Pixar flicks, so it's been fun to watch them with my boys, too.

Miscellany
I’ve got a weird little epistolary short story written, and I’m not sure where to put it. If I can't find a better location for it, I may just put it somewhere on here. I still haven’t finished the side project, even though I’ve only got about 20,000 words to go on it. Perhaps in February, who knows. 
​

A friend went off and made a chatbot based on Skate that you can interact with, if you want. It’s very fun and silly.

Skate is on sale until this Saturday on Kindle, so if you’re reading this before the 4th, go grab it for yourself or someone else. If you’re reading this after the 4th … sorry. If you’ve got Kindle Unlimited, you can still go read it without paying extra money!

That’s all from me, for now.

Tell your story!
