Kiss of the Succubus now for sale
🕑 Added 2017-08-03 15:22:56 +0000 UTC The Kiss of the Succubus is now live on my author page on Amazon. I've excerpted the opening below, just to give a little taste of where it's going. I hope you enjoy! Being a warlock can be pretty lonely. Trust me, I can attest firsthand – between long hours in occult libraries, evenings spent in study and ritual, a tendency to begin speaking in tongues… let’s just say it’s not easy meeting people.
For a while, I’d thought I’d made my peace with it. Small trade-off, I’d told myself, giving up on bar crawls with my buddies in exchange for the power to penetrate the darkness between the stars. Only, my neighbors and family kept making new friends and having more experiences, but me? Just… more darkness.
I tried branching out a bit. I joined a gym for a while, but I guess the people in my yoga group were put off by the profane Abyssal symbols decorating almost every inch of my skin. I signed up for pottery classes at the adult learning annex, and for a while I thought I was making break-throughs, only to be asked not to return when my stoneware jug started spewing sulfurous fumes. Or maybe it was when it echoed the screams of the damned? I don’t know, but I didn’t get my tuition check refunded.
I even gave serious thought to moving into a nicer area, try my hand with a fresh batch of neighbors, but… there was Tabitha.
