Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm over at the very fun and awesome Badass Book Reviews where I had a lively chat with Regina and Erika about triangles, writing sex scenes, heroes we love, the inspirations and models for different characters from the disillusionists and a whole lot more.
Also, Regina came with a great person to play Otto, and I gave the link to the page that shows how to spot the hidden Gumby image on Head Rush. And more!
audio & ebook out now: print later. Click for info, excerpt & links
Three stand-alone novellas - 2.99
Contains a Disillusionist novella + two other awesome ones.
Book #2 of the Disillusionists Trilogy. People change. Big things happen! (Bantam/Spectra)
Book #1 of my UF trilogy, Mind Games, about a hypochondriac heroine who joins a psychological hit squad in a fantastical Midwestern city. (Bantam/Spectra)
I'm an urban fantasy author living in Minneapolis with my excellent husband and two daring cats. I enjoy reading and running, and I'm big on psychological intrigues and plotty mysteries. And also helping animals! I write the disillusionists trilogy (MIND GAMES, DOUBLE CROSS and HEAD RUSH) and assorted other tales.
