Misadventures in the Multiverse

🔥 Knock on wood before it burns to the ground.

Published about 14 hours ago • 2 min read

Hey there,

Happy Friday the 13th!

If you're the superstitious type, steer clear of ladders and black cats today, but do stick around for this email. I have a new book coming out on December 15, and between now and then I'm going to write to you every Friday. I couldn't have picked a better day to start.

On a day made for dark stories, I want to introduce you to Danica Burns.

Danica is an FBI special agent who studies cults for a living—and she knows them from the inside, because she was raised in one herself.

She got out, and she hasn't been back to the Pacific Northwest in almost twenty years. Which is good because some people there would still like her dead.

Ashes to Ashes is the first book in her series—and Danica and I are already charging into Book 2.

(She's impatient like that, as you'll soon learn. She's never one to sit back when someone needs her help.)

In Ashes to Ashes, a beauty influencer turned cult leader has burned to death in her own group’s spring ritual bonfire. Her followers say she Ascended, but local law enforcement is calling it murder, and they’ve invited Danica Burns in to consult.

Danica knows how a group like this works, but coming here means going home—and entering a potential den of snakes.

She can't trust anyone. Especially not her new partner, Special Agent Ethan Martinez.

I'll be publishing Ashes to Ashes on Kindle Unlimited, so you can pre-order it from Amazon if that's your jam.

If you read anywhere else, preordering directly from me is the only way to get the ebook and to preorder the paperback for now.

Even better, you can also order a signed print copy, which I'll be signing and sending out myself.

I'm so excited to introduce you to Danica!

Hit reply and tell me what makes you fall for a main character. I'd love to hear it.

Jessie

Smoke Screen

by J.L. Kwak

Twenty years ago, a young woman was convicted of murdering her best friend in a bizarre ritual. Now her daughter's best friend has been found posed the same way in Cañon City, Colorado, and Danica is the only one willing to consider that a troubled teenager might be innocent.

It's the perfect way to get to know Danica before Ashes to Ashes comes out.

Memento Mori: the art of contemplating death to live a better life

Hey there! I love nothing more than cozying up under a blanket with a glass of wine or a cup of tea and a good book. It's one of the reasons I always welcome the first rainy days of fall. :) Since I've been snuggled up reading quite a bit lately, I thought I'd give you a short list of what's been on my mind in case you're looking for some inspiration. And of course, I welcome suggestions! My TBR is always looking for company. For Spooky Season... Each year, I create my version of an ancestor...

Three Bites: a trio of spooky stories

Hey there! I was at a writing conference a couple weekends ago when a friend from Seattle came up to me with a very serious expression. "I was hoping you were going to be here," he said. "I wanted to talk to you about your story in Muddy Goose." Because my brain works the way it works, I immediately braced myself for whatever came next. Was my story riddled with typos? Did I write something offensive? Was he annoyed by my choice of setting? After all, the anthology he was talking about, The...

Hey there! This is a bit of a departure from my usual reader-focused email, but I know a good number of you on this list are also writers. (And I also know a lot of readers who appreciate a chance to get a look behind the scenes at an author's process. For free!) Which is why I'm excited to tell you about this event. Starting tomorrow (Oct 17th), Daniel David Wallace's annual plot summit is coming back—for year seven! Escape the Plot Forest is a great learning experience for writers and...
