Murderous Shadows
We Walk in Darkness is the fifth book in the Spell Weaver series, but it can be read as a standalone. It has more of an October vibe than a September one, but I have other books planned for promotion in October, so I thought I’d mention it now. It’s available for only $1.99.
Lucas Santos thinks the strangely moving shadows are just his imagination–until one of them tries to kill him. With a long way to go until dawn, will he find a way to survive?

Additional Autumn Chills
I’m currently serializing a Spell Weaver novella, North of Midnight, on Substack. As with We Walk in Darkness, it can be read as a standalone. If you like stories about small towns that aren’t what they appear to be and an assortment of things that go bump in the night, check it out. It’s free to read–just click on the Read-on-Substack button.

If you got kids that are not excited about school, “Tasting History” By Max Miller may pique their interest: Easy recipes with interesting stories and very educational.
