Launch day is almost upon us! A Sensual Summoning will be available on Amazon (paperback and Kindle), Kindle Unlimited and in bookstores on Sept 22, 2023!

If you're looking to get an early start on Spooky Season with some incubus spice to go with your pumpkin spice, consider pre-ordering the kindle edition here, or keeping an eye out for when the title becomes available for free on Kindle Unlimited!

Fans of ACOTAR, Outlander, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, Lords of the Underworld and even more contemporary romances like It Happened One Summer... this one's for you!

Also... given A Sensual Summoning's ties to tumblr and the community that showed it such love I decided to turn it into a book, keep an eye out for a special surprise I'll be unveiling soon for you guys. 👀

At a loose end, need book recs for spooky season. Bonus points if they're interesting vampire stories that have nothing to do with Twilight or Anne Rice

"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."

— Justin D. Edwards, "Mapping Tropical Gothic in the Americas" in Tropical Gothic in Literature and Culture.

My current spooky season read. The audio book is narrated by Mia Farrow herself.
