Hey everybody! I am thrilled to announce that Angel Maker: A Karen Memory Adventure will be available in audiobook, ebook, and paperback on September 2nd!
Audiobook preorders are available now at all major platforms. Ebook and paperback preorders will be available soon!
Honestly, I am thrilled beyond measure to finally get this book out in the world! I started writing it almost ten years ago, and it has been an absolute labor of love for me, because (frankly) I adore Karen and Priya and their friends just as much as everybody else seems to.

Every cowboy story needs a horse no man can ride.
No man—but Miss Karen Memery is all woman. When she and her beloved Priya sign on to do stunts for a motion picture about a rogue Mechanical named Cowboy and a Wild West show, she finds the horse of her dreams: Angel Maker.
Her plans to rescue him from a deadly stunt are ambitious enough, but she’s soon beset by even greater threats when two men are murdered brutally. Cowboy and Priya are arrested for the crime, and Karen must prove them innocent—and save the life of the wild stallion too!
"The surprise sequel that Karen Memory fans needed! A novel of strong emotional bonds, chasing after mysteries, and adventures at the dawn of motion pictures. Ladies and gentlemachines, this book was worth the wait."
—John Wiswell, Nebula-Award-Winning author of Someone You Can Build A Nest In
"Karen and her world are a delight!"
—Katherine Addison, author of beloved modern classic The Goblin Emperor
While you are waiting for Angel Maker to launch, you can catch up on the adventures of Karen and her friends with the previous two books in the series, Karen Memory and Stone Mad!
And just because that cover is so good, let's see it one more time!
