Caught Forever Between–A Hoodoo Story

Caught Forever Between–A Hoodoo Story

I’m very excited to announce that I’ve published a short story set in the world of my Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa) via my own Dreaming Nomad Books. “Caught Forever Between” features Gabrielle LaRue and Devlin Daniels, and you can enjoy the story without having read the books.

You can find it for sale on Smashwords (where you can read a free sample of the story), Amazon, and BN.com (free sample also available). A review of the story by BN.com’s own Paul Goat Allen absolutely floored me (in a good way. LOL)!

Deep in the bayou, justice comes in many forms.

When Cass finds her partner lying on the floor of their New Orleans tattoo shop in a pool of blood, the world as she knows it ends. Alex, her ink-slinging Michelangelo, lies in the hospital comatose, perhaps permanently.

Lacking faith in the police and their ability to find whoever shot Alex, Cass puts the word out that she’s seeking justice, justice she will willingly pay for.

When a Voodoo mambo offers the services of her mysterious godson, Cass finds herself stepping into a dark, deadly world, one that she may not walk out of again intact.

“Phoenix is a beautiful storyteller–her prose flows like poetry.”

Happy 2012, everyone! The year is off to a great start. I have my goals and resolutions written down and, dammit, I will follow through! LOL.

Right now through January 17th, we’re having a giveaway with two prizes: 1 signed set of Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and 1 signed copy of any of my titles. The giveaway is happening simultaneously on three blogs, so 3 chances to win! You can read the character blog, which is a little chat with Kallie, Belladonna, Jackson, and a hapless newcomer to Bayou Cypres Noir, then enter the contest. Or you can just skip down to the contest entry. No promises that Kallie won’t lay a trick on you if you do. Just saying. 😉 Just drop by On the Broomstick or Zombie Girl Shambling or Bookgirl Knitting or all three to enter.

Also, two truly awesome reviews for Black Heart Loa came out today. My Bookish Ways, a fantastic site for urban fantasy, suspense, horror and more, and On the Broomstick, a witchy and fun blogsite.

Black Moon Mojo will be the third book in the series and, yes, I’m working on it. 🙂
