I’m terribly pleased to reveal the cover for I See You (Oracle 2). I absolutely adore it!
RELEASE DATE: DECEMBER 17, 2015
PREORDER NOW AVAILABLE
Both of these gorgeous book covers are the combined genius of Irene Langholm and Elizabeth Mackey. I just love them side by side (and separately).
Memes, excerpts, and giveaways coming throughout November and December.

An office in a tool shed.
I’m back on my walking desk and blogging from my new temporary office in the tool shed. In which, even though I said it really wasn’t necessary, Michael insisted on cutting a window so I could have a view.
I also hung my housewarming/birthday gift from my lovely friend, Gertie – the pretty spirit ball at the top of the picture.
This is where I’ll edit Oracle 2 and write Dowser 6.
<3 And I’m feeling pretty damn blessed about it all. <3
Warning: Â the following excerpt is unedited and unproofed.
A black butterfly flitted through my peripheral vision.
My stomach bottomed out even as I raised my head to follow the butterfly’s flight path. It danced along the eaves of the garage, then up over Beau’s shoulder. He didn’t seem to notice as it stopped to kiss his ear.
In fact, he was standing awfully still, staring at something ahead or maybe across the road. I couldn’t see beyond his broad shoulders.
I glanced down at my left wrist. Yep, it was bare, now tattoo-free.
I stepped forward, just until I could see the huge black SUV with dark-tinted windows parked across the street. Beau was gripping the salad Tupperware so tensely I was fairly sure he was going to permanently dent the plastic.
The butterfly flitted across the road as someone turned off the idling SUV and the driver’s side door opened.
Beau was holding his breath.
A slight, tautly-muscled woman in green capris and a goldenrod printed T-shirt stepped out from the vehicle. The butterfly danced about three inches over her green-dyed, shag-cut hair. She lifted her face as if tracking its movements.
No, she was sniffing the air. And possibly smelling the magic of the butterfly?
Kandy, Jade Godfrey’s werewolf bodyguard, was in Yachats, Oregon.
That couldn’t be good. – I See You, Oracle 2, Chapter 2, second draft
Okay. I wrote this entire blog post, then deleted it because I was boring myself. Ha. Instead, I will leave you with a screenshot of the review that inspired my deleted blog post and let you make your own observations.
James – I hope you don’t mind me sharing this but I loved finding your review over on Amazon today.
I just write the stories that haunt me, then cross my fingers and hope that readers might enjoy them. Thankfully some of you do!
Okay! I’m off to the Northwest Chocolate Festival in Seattle. See you on the other side.

I know the general area of most of them, of course. But pinpointing the exact locations has been an exceedingly cool excerise.
