Coming Soon - Naked Tails

Today I received the finalized cover and blurb for my next release, Naked Tails, publishing from Dreamspinner Press on December 17. What do y'all think? Didn't cover artist Shobana Appavu do an awesome job? It's not on the "Coming Soon" page yet, but I'll post a link when that happens. Oh, and I need to shout out a heartfelt "Thank you!" to P.D. Singer for coming up with the title, and my fellow Dreamspinner authors who helped me brainstorm ideas while at a conference last March in NYC. Big hugs to P.D., Carole Cummings., S.A. Garcia, Andrew Grey, and the others who shared a limo ride and examples of possums behaving badly!

Seth McDaniel wasn’t raised among a shifter passel and has no idea what it’s like to turn furry once a month. An orphan, torn from his father’s family at an early age, he scarcely remembers Great-aunt Irene. Now her passing brings him back to Possum Kingdom, Georgia, to take up a legacy he doesn’t understand and reconnect with a friend he’s never forgotten.

As Irene’s second-in-command, Dustin Livingston has two choices: assume control of the passel or select another replacement. Unfortunately, the other candidates are either heartless or clueless. Dustin’s best hope to dodge the responsibility is to deliver a crash course in leadership to his childhood pal Seth, a man he hasn’t seen in twenty years. However, while Dustin's mind is set on his task, his heart is set on his old friend.

Seth’s quest for answers yields more questions instead. What’s with the tiny gray hairs littering his aunt’s house? Why do the townsfolk call each other “Jack” and “Jill”? Do Dustin’s attentions come with ulterior motives? And why is Seth suddenly craving crickets?
