Happy October, my fiends and freakazoids. Wrapping up this book, finally<\/em>, and am plotting the sixth book in the series, which I will begin writing in January after a small, goofy break for a heavy-on-the-comedy short story in the “Between The Files” set, tentatively entitled Stiff Competition<\/em>.<\/p>\n I’m not going to lie to you. This fifth book was one of the more difficult things I’ve ever tackled, for more reasons than the, erm, *ahem* <spoilers redacted> stuff. Those who have read Wrath & Bones<\/a> might know to what I am referring. My characters had trouble keeping their feet this time around. It took them, and me, a while to recover their senses. Once they found their stride, though, they have been a blast. I’m eager for others to enjoy this ride with me, and expect it to be ready for publication in December (pending approval from my editor, Bossyboots McMeaniepants, and having the all-clear from the big wigs at Pixiegrind Ink Publishing. Ho wait, I’m the big wig. Handy, that. *wink*). A publication date will be posted as soon as it is known, and pre-orders will be available.<\/p>\n I suppose I can now reveal the title and cover for the fifth book. Folks, I give you Blightmare<\/em>, Marnie’s fifth paranormal adventure. I am hoping you will enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.<\/p>\n And a reminder, to those who have not kept up with the series but who may want to catch up before the fifth book drops, you can find all my work here on Amazon<\/a>. For those interested in beginning the series, the first book is Touched<\/a>. Voila! Stay tuned, my lovelies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy October, my fiends and freakazoids.
