Hello! After many years and too many false starts, I've finally finished writing my novella, originally title Scout's Arrival. It's now called Scout Farrow: Apolalypstick and I'm really, really excited about it! Now that I've finished the first couple of drafts, and I've got a cover I like locked in, it's starting to feel like a really good book and an excellent addition to my bibliography of vampire stories.

While it is technically in the Bloodletting universe, it's also a stand alone story, and written in a different style than my other books.

This is the story of Scout Farrow, a rising pop singer navigating the cruel and demented world of the music industry, while also trying desperately to maintain her integrity. Oh, and she's also a vampire.

It's a quick read, and one of the most entertaining things I've written, I believe. Please, let me know if you'd like to beta read it. I'm still editing and proofing it, so I'm about to be ready to share.

Feel free to send me an email or DM me on my socials.

I'll be talking about this story a fair bit coming up, as well as my upcoming release Gut Feeling, which should be arriving in the next couple of months. I'll write an update about that soon.
