NATURAL CONSEQUENCES is now available!


It's out! Natural Consequences, the exciting sequel to Good Intentions, is now available on both Amazon and on Smashwords for non-Kindle formats.

Alex Carlisle has enough to deal with even on quiet days. Living with an angel and a succubus is no easy feat. One has divine responsibilities she can’t explain, and the other tempts him toward a decadent lifestyle he’s not sure he can manage. Add to that the stresses of college and trying to hold down a job, and it’s lucky Alex can even keep his head on straight.


Yet the complications keep on coming. An amorous (and terrifying) werewolf won’t take no for an answer. Vampires from across the country want to know what happened to their allies in Seattle. To top it all off, events in the city have drawn the attention of Federal agents who know far too much about the supernatural, and they have no patience for the chaos that Alex and his friends leave in their wake.

Technical Difficulties

Argh.

It's ready to go, but I've hit the dumbest little wrinkle ever.

I loaded up Natural Consequences on Amazon about an hour ago, but I couldn't make the previewer work to double-check it... and so naturally that led me to uploading it and then discovering a small problem an hour later. It's not a huge issue, just a complete blank under the "About the Author" page, but I'd love to fix it before it goes live... and I don't know if I can. Oh, the glories of our global economy.

I can't really complain about Amazon. They made all this possible for me. But sometimes an "improvement" on their end isn't the most convenient thing in the world for me.

While working on that little wrinkle, I uploaded the book to Smashwords just to test it out, and immediately unpublished it (removing it from the site) within a minute... but some lucky bastard out there bought a copy in that tiny window of time!

At any rate, the book is really for reals coming very soon. Thank you all for your support and your patience!

UPDATE: As of 2:40pm PST, I have corrected and uploaded the book. There may still be a single line not quite centered on the copyright page, but I don't think anyone will care. Amazon says the book will be live within 12 hours. I will send out notices and I will upload it to Smashwords when I see it available.
