Today’s officially the first day of autumn! And if you’re looking for some new books to read this spooky season, then don’t worry. I’ve got you covered.
Cozy Mystery
First off, Text or Treat will be hitting shelves on October 5th. It’s a Halloween-themed cozy mystery that’s sure to add some fun to your holiday.
Book Description
Sydney Farina is done texting dead people.
She’s got a new, non-haunted phone, and the only ghosts she wants to deal with are Halloween decorations. But when a dead body is discovered around the corner from the bakery where she works, her Halloween gets a little too ghastly.
Sydney doesn’t even know the dead guy, but that doesn’t stop his ghost from texting her for help. (So much for her brand-new phone.) He sent her a scam message months ago, and she wasn’t his only target. He stole money from dozens of people—including Sydney’s sister, who’s become the prime suspect for his murder.
As Sydney digs into the scammer’s life, she finds a multitude of people who wanted him dead. She has to find the real killer fast… or her sister will be trading her Halloween costume for a prison uniform.
Urban Fantasy
Next, I’ve been talking about it for a while now, but the first book in The Shadow Journals urban fantasy series is nearing completion. Check out the cover reveal below!
I’m optimistically hoping to release Smoke and Hellfire in October too, but it may be November before it’s complete. Keep an eye on the blog for more info.
I’m heading back to my writing cave to put the finishing touches on these books. Enjoy your autumn!
