I have a store! You can purchase digital editions of many of my books directly from me, as well as from all major online retailers such as Bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon (though Amazon has a tendency to randomly drop and re-add them; very annoying). In addition, please check Indiebound for your nearest independent bookstore; or shop at Malaprop’s Bookstore or Parnassus Books or Powell’s Books! As a lover of local bookstores, I strongly encourage interested readers to purchase my books locally.

“There have always been roads.”

When the Gods willed themselves into existence, they created pathways, walking the nothingness of potentiality. As they shaped that nothingness into somethingness, they created more pathways: broad boulevards and wide thoroughfares, twisty little tracks and lazy winding lanes.

Bertha Brown is a worldwalker, just like her father. But her father is gone, lost somewhere among an infinity of planets and parallel realities. Bertha carries on, transporting cargo and passengers to support her family. But then she meets Amkhira, a strange and arrogant being who claims to know the location of Bertha’s father — information which they will share if Bertha does something for them in return … steal a page out of The Infinite Atlas ….

Asphalt Gods is a 22,000 word science fantasy adventure novella. It stars a daring worldwalker, a strange being of unknown origins, planets wild and familiar, and mysterious Gods with a plan only they can understand.

Ebook: 99 cents

“I offer my name to the Hallowed Flame.”

Centuries ago, the Hallowed Ones fell out of harmony. The war among the gods nearly destroyed the world. But there is peace now, and the world is slowly being rewoven ….

High in the Dellith Mountains, on the edge of the civilized world, stands the Inn of the Honeyed Bear. Seeking refuge from an early winter storm, Lord-Captain Robeth Eard and Temerare Marjin Quil find themselves trapped with an unusual assortment of merchants, healers, priests, and pilgrims — and the even more unusual Lady of the Inn. When one of the Inn’s guardians is murdered, the Lady shows little interest in investigating, leaving Robeth and Marjin to hunt down the killer.

But all is not as it seems at the Inn of the Honeyed Bear. Secrets haunt its frozen halls, secrets that could upend the Rewoven World ….

The Fox and the Rose: Mythical Faerie Tales

“Gather ’round, children, gather ’round.”

Our oldest stories are myths and faerie tales. Sacred accounts of the creation of the world, of the births of Gods and heroes, of the deaths of mad kings. Adventurous fables featuring wise princesses, misunderstood monsters, sly foxes, and haunted wildwoods. Once upon a time, Goddesses rode the moon across the sky, bull-headed princes stalked subterranean labyrinths, witches spoke with owls from the peaks of ruined towers, and red-cloaked priestesses braved ancient forests haunted by sharp-eyed wolves.

The Fox and the Rose collects twenty-six mythic faerie tales. Many are completely original. Others borrow and reweave the elements of traditional stories, or are inspired by real-world events. Most follow a recognizable mythic or faerie tale scheme: once, in such-and-such a land, there lived …. There are tests to pass and promises to keep and, if the hero proves worthy, a happily ever after to be won. Or not, as the case may be, if the hero proves to be selfish and vain.

So gather ’round. Pay attention. For Gods and faeries and heroes and monsters walk among us. [Forthcoming in 2025.]

Malkin: A Tale of Magic, Espionage, and Too-Curious Cats. The island of Menhettien. As the war with the fascists continues to rage, two unlikely allies find themselves at the center of an insidious conspiracy. Miss Maud al-Khalli has everything a girl could want: beauty, brains, money — and the ability to shift into catshape. Professor Sir Carter Durant is a scholar of magical theory and a secret consultant on matters of national security. When an ancient magical labyrinth is discovered, Maud and Carter must work together to save their city and their loved ones from a terrible fate.

Malkin is set in a world much like our own in the 1930s, but it is also notably — and dangerously — different in other ways. This is an urban fantasy/paranormal romance, but with some darker elements. Readers should be aware that the story contains references to, and scenes of, kidnapping, physical abuse and violence, violent death, fascism, war, and animal abuse. If you find any of these too disturbing, please stop and consider reading one of my cozier stories instead. [Forthcoming in 2026.]
