If you like urban fantasy, but you're tired of the tropes playing out the same--snarky relucant hero, tortured by their sins--please check out my novel, Idle Hands.

Dr. Grey is anything but reluctant or tortured by her sins. Skeptical, bitter, but not tortured. She revels in what she's becoming.

It's Shameless Promo Thursday again, wherein I remind you that I write books you might like to read.

Up today: The Bed, an urban fantasy about ghosts, demons, angels, and old furniture.

What if you bought a piece of antique furniture and it came fully equipped with a ghost - who had a lot of problems and some very powerful enemies!

* Headstrong heroine
* Annoying boyfriend
* Haunted furniture
* Handsome ghost

The sirens were excited. They were due for a vacation and they had travel-brochures to help them decide.

"For just a few pearls more, this resort brings you a Continental breakfast-in-pool every morning."

"This quaint little sea-shore town has glass-bottom bus tours so you can always see the ground under you!"

"Here's a more exciting idea; sky-diving classes!"

"Oh heck yeah sisters, let's be harpies!"

"Make way for the Sky-sirens!"

"At least inner-demons don't bother anyone else. Having outer-demons..."

There was a crash and a screech and a clattering of cutlery.

My client didn't even flinch, simply adding another I.O.U to the pile on the table.

"...It's about as expensive but they need so much more enrichment."

I nodded sympathetically, "So you need me to exorcise them?"

"Oh no! I want them to be picked up by cameras - I could monetize the hell out of them!"

I saw my cousin scurrying over and braced.

"I just herd the news-- oh sorry, no pun intended!"

I smiled patiently, "Things'll be rough but we'll get through it."

"Neither of you are feeling too gruff about it?"

I took a deep breath, "We're adapting. Waiting to hear back from a specialist."

"So crossing that bridge when y-- ACK!"

My spouse head-butted my cousin in the hip again, bleating "I'm currently a goat, not hard of hearing!"
