Keeley #6 is out on Friday - Amazon preorder here - and here are the usual free copies; get 'em while they're hot. (Link will stop working when it's live on Amazon in a week.) Click on the cover or the link at the bottom to download; let me know if anything seems to be borked. Also let me know privately if you need any of the earlier books for context, btw.

Blurb is still a work in progress ...

From enemies to ... something else.

A few months ago, Aliette and her flock of bird shifters forged a truce with James Keeley and his magical detective agency. Now the shifters of Grand Bluffs need his help.

There's a new alpha in town, using a previously unknown form of alpha power so strong it's taking down the local shifters like dominos. But what does he really want? James, as a human, is immune to this alpha cult leader's shifter wiles, and James's magical spellgun can thwart the shifters' ability to sniff him out as a human.

Going undercover in a shifter cult, James can't take along his usual dragon backup. (And the dragon in question is deeply unhappy about it.) He's going to have to rely on Aliette—who not so long ago wanted to kill him—in a beautiful lakeside resort full of old enemies and new ones, where his survival relies on managing to convince a lot of shifter cultists that he's one of them.

Because failure means getting to star in his own personal production of The Most Dangerous Game.

And the only ally he has in the cult, Aliette, is one alpha-power brainwashing away from trying to kill him herself.

Not to mention that the spellgun, the one thing keeping every shifter in the cult from turning on him, seems to have developed an agenda of its own ...

Thank you so much! I am just between books, as it happens, and am excited to read a new Keeley book! I've been enjoying Aliette's development, and seeing James in this situation will be fun!

Seeing this only today, and, coincidentally, I was just thinking yesterday about buying the second Keely book on Amazon (I've read only the first one so far, I'm pretty sure, and as long as I can afford, I'll buy). I've made some progress on getting to take real lunch breaks at work recently... was so easy during the WFH era! ...and somewhat shorter stories on my Kindle are exactly what I want for them.

(Working through lunch is a habit I'm trying to kick. And team lunches, "mandatory fun," are not at all restful for me, personally.)

I saw, and so I decided to buy #2 and #3 at the same time. :-)

Congrats! Book six in a series is an achievement, imo, so I'm super impressed. And picking up the earlier books to read! ^_^
