My new book is out!

https://www.amazon.com/Deductions-Aberrant-Magic-Book-1-ebook/dp/B01HDQF7JC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466621668&sr=8-2&keywords=aberrant+magic

In a world where magic has slowly returned following the great purges, magic and religion coexist uneasily. The Talent unit of the FBI investigates crime related to those who have Talent or magic, either shamans or adepts who manipulate living magic and have spirit guides or magic users who take the left over magic and weave it into spells and crystals.

Darren is the mundane of the team.  He admires and maybe even lusts after his boss.

Kavon is a powerful shaman who has always avoided politics and intimacy.  As far as he's concerned, politics is evil.  Intimacy, on the other hand, is more complicated. As a shaman, he uses living magic, and every human has a small store of their own power. If he gets involved with anyone, particularly someone like Darren who he cares for, he could accidentally take his life.

So they live in denial.

Only this is me, so maybe not denial as much as finding a creative solution.

Law exam taken, and book read. That was lovely! You have some of my favorite worlds, and this one is no exception. I am looking forward to the continuation of this series, and seeing how what happened in this book changes the view of Talents.
Side note - which website is best for you in turns of purchasing your books?

I'm glad your test is over and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this universe. I really liked writing it, and doing all three has avoided my sequel-phobia.

And you know, I don't know what ends up being better for me. When people buy from Loose Id, I get a slightly better per book rate, but when readers buy at Amazon, it pushes my Amazon rating up and I'm more visible on the site. I don't know business well enough to know which is more valuable, which is why I don't self-publish.
