I have a new book out today! For fans of Sword & Sorcery adventures like Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser and spy thillers from Tom Clancy and Ian Fleming comes my new series, SPY|COUNTER|KILLER and its first entry, A DANGEROUS BREW!
From the back cover:
Meena Prakanati abandoned her life as the Jade Emperor’s lover and spymaster and did what few had done—made a fresh start.
She’d built her teashop in the imperial city of Hostlann, two oceans and a continent away from her old life. And most importantly, far from the conspiracies and the seductive romance behind the seat of power.
Until one night when a mysterious bard arrives at her door, bearing a letter that the Jade Emperor has been assassinated!
Left heartbroken and with a package containing a mystical stone, Meena brings together a new team. Enlisting the cryptographer Raga Stonecleaver and assassin-thief Keeper, she seeks to run down the darkness, uncover her lover’s final secrets, and kill anyone who stands between her and vengeance.
Sorcerous cults, secret societies, and vicious gangsters clash as the award-winning author of ATENIA and A WAVE OF LIONS brings you a new adventure where intrigue waits on a dagger’s edge! Spies haunt the shadows of a magical underworld where the truth will be uncovered in A DANGEROUS BREW, the first book in the SPY|COUNTER|KILLER series!
LIVE-READING will take place this Sunday on the new episode of PONDERING THE ORB! (9/24/2022!) featuring music from @Forhill and @EyeoftheEnemy!

Always finding gold at @ElectronicGems! Sheaf is something very, very special in the Synthwave genre. Every release has been a series of banger EPs and LPs that are untouchable. They've also been kind enough to let me feature them on tomorrow's episode of PONDERING THE ORB!
Please subscribe to Electronic Gems--it's a foundational channel for synth music on YouTube.
