Happy September, and welcome to all the new Reading Group members. We are happy to have you!
This summer has just flown by! But, now that it’s September, it’s pretty much Halloween! Right? Right! I’ve had Halloween and horror movies on my mind for a good two months, which explains working on another Findley Black story. LOL
In fact, I just finished the first draft of Findley Black and the Reaper of Shivelly Park. While I’m going to let it sit for a couple of days before I go back in for a second draft, a first draft is a giant step, so I thought I would celebrate by giving away a copy of Findley Black and the Ghosts of Printer’s Devil.
Check out the book and the giveaway below!

Findley Black and the Ghosts of Printer’s Devil
Starting over at thirty-four is harder than Owen Key expected. Lonelier too. There’s Bella, and the odd assortment of kids he’d inherited when a father he barely knew left him Printer’s Devil. But his bookstore employees and his cat aren’t much good when it comes to getting laid.
Findley Black says a lot of things. At least according to everyone at the store. When Owen runs into him for the first time during one of his ghost tours, with his leather jacket and flirtatious looks, Owen finds himself more than interested in what he has to say.
Owen may have been hoping for a one-night-stand, but when Findley asks to stay the remainder of Halloween night in the Printer’s Devil in hopes of seeing the ghost of a serial killer, he finds it hard to say no.
Halloween is a time for ghost stories and trick or treat. But running out of candy is a bad omen, and it’s hard to get lucky when something otherworldly is determined to ruin your night.
So, for you who don’t already have a copy, here’s a chance to grab it for free!
Just leave a comment on this post about your favorite autumn memory—ghost not required but ALWAYS appreciated!—and I’ll draw a random winner on Tuesday, September 6th!
Good luck!
Sneak Peek
JMS Books • Advent Book Freebie
In 2021—for what I believe was the first time—JMS Books offered a free book in their online store every day in December. Last year it was a previously published book, but this year, with a lot of planning, they will be giving away brand new books.
For one day, a title will be given away for free through their website store, and the following day will release in stores. No pre-orders, no ARCs.
31 Days. 31 Books. Including one of mine! :D
I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek at the cover and the—not yet seen by an editor—blurb.
Smoke
Wyatt Calder is trapped—in a rundown neighborhood, in a dead-end job, by the endless string of trouble his brother drags to their door—and it seems he’s destined to slowly fade away within the aging walls of Picket House.. That is, until his upstairs neighbor Abel Walters dies on the staircase just outside Wyatt’s door.
Saalik has spent most of his existence asleep and waiting for the next person to discover his bottle and claim their wishes. And the last four years playing prized possession to Abel Walters and spying on the downstairs neighbors. But he has a plan. And, like every plan worth planning, it has taken patience. But if life as a Jinn has taught Saalik nothing else, it’s taught him that.
When a break-in sends Wyatt out his second-story bedroom window and into his dead upstairs neighbor’s apartment, he finds more than a place to hide. He discovers a magical solution to all his troubles.
Or does he? Because really, when is life ever that simple?
Keep an eye on your email, and as soon as I’m given my December giveaway date, I’ll let everyone know!
One last thing before I forget, JMS Books is having a big Labor Day sale!
