Thanátou and Mörderin (The Blood Witch Saga) out now!
In Mörderin we meet a number of new races, including the Pixin who are agender. Xen is a Pixin who is friends with Thána’s sister Daria. Pixin are long-lived and they reproduce through a process they call the joining. Pixin are good with languages, but not at magic. They each choose several areas to study
Today, I want to introduce you to Daria, Thána’s younger sister. Despite the fact that they were not raised together, Daria has always lived in Thána’s shadow in one way or another. When they were young, Daria’s life revolved around keeping Thána out of the hands of the Brotherhood. Later, it was about keeping their
I woke up to find my edits for book 2, so it’s time to start introducing you to a few new characters! We’ll start with Thána’s mother, Alaina. We first meet Alaina in book 1, but we don’t really get to know her. In Mörderin we get more time with her. Alaina and her husband

For our first introduction to the characters in Thanátou, I’d like to introduce you to Merry Ander-Wheather, the first family our main character meets as her journey begins. Merry is a kitchen-witch, and a bit eccentric, especially for Thána who has lived a pretty mundane life up until the point where our story begins. We
I meant to introduce you all to Zero last week, but I completely spaced it. I’ll blame it on the combination of pain and pain meds. So today, I want to do that, but yesterday my publisher emailed me with the cover for In Gathering Shade, and as an added bonus, he included the re-designed
Evan Chayton is a Shifter, though he keeps that fact very well guarded. As he first appears in the beginning of In Gathering Shade, only a small group of people know his secret. He is also a military man who is assigned to Adam Darvin’s secretive organization. Raven chooses him to be her handler when Adam
Like Raven, we first meet Mila and Maddie in Through Shade and Shadow, though they are largely relegated to the background. When we first meet them, Alaric and his friends, following a vision, help them escape from the 8th Battalion along with Sahara. Mila is nineteen. Maddie has just turned sixteen. Through that first encounter
We met Raven briefly in Through Shade and Shadow, as one of the agents that Mason Jerah works with at the unnamed government agency, but in the next book, In Gathering Shade, Raven comes to the foreground. We first meet her when she is helping an instructor teach hand to hand skills to a group
