Hey guys

In happy conjunction with the sequel novel, my urban fantasy romance novel, 7 Deadly Habits of the Modern Demon Summoner, is free from 9/2/2023 to 9/6/2023!

It can be downloaded and read through the Kindle app, which is available for iPhone, Android, iPad, etc.

If you already own it...and you've already read it...well this is my happy announcement that the sequel is available here.

And for those of you who are new here and have no idea what I'm talking about...

7 Deadly Habits is my demon-wielding assassin series, revolving around a pansexual assassin named Rey, whose romantic and sexual flings with other assassins are constantly coming back to haunt him.

It's a dark comedy, but it's also a light tragedy. It's romantic and yearning, while also being stinging and hateful.

It's also a romance told in reverse.

It's got LGBT assassins, sadistic demon magic, and a cursed city on the brink of destruction.

It also has the following triggers, so be warned: violent sex, violence in general, a lot of murder, a lot of swearing, some sexual content, Hayward, and mentions of child grooming.

And here's the full plot description:

Transcription of summary:

Twenty-three-year-old CEO Don Francisco wants one of the richest women in the world dead. Which one? Daphne Oakland: actress, model, heir to the Oakland financial empire, and unbeknownst to the general public, talented demon summoner. But since Francisco isn’t nearly as rich as the established Oakland family, he hires the only assassin he can afford: Sebastián Monterey, a down-on-his-luck, struggling demon summoner, the cheapest and lowest ranking one there is.

But Monterey is nothing like Cisco expected. He’s high-spirited, reckless, relentlessly cheerful …and worse, he’s a bit of a slut. The CEO is horrified to find out that Monterey has not just one, but seven angry exes in the killing business, who will stop at nothing to get in the way of an already impossible hit. Not only do they have personal reasons for wanting to see their former lover dead, they also have professional reasons: they are all currently employed by the Oakland family members!

To make matters worse, Monterey finds out the Oaklands are each protecting a demon ritual artifact for Daphne. When brought together, all 7 can be used to summon a demon more powerful than any currently contracted on earth. If he is to carry out this hit at all, he’ll have to interfere with the summon by stealing every artifact, and maybe even summon the demon before Daphne can.

But that's only if none of his exes kill him first!

You can't be an assassin and straight.

It's too homoerotic of a profession.

What do you mean, you're hunting other men?

You're bathing in their blood and hiding your identity from the world and you have bad relationships with your parents?

You're fighting other assassins who are holding their knives to your pretty throat and hurling chairs at your head and stabbing you in the thighs? You're bleeding and dying in each other's arms? Your dying breaths are commingling and your life force is dwindling, and all you can do is clutch each other tightly as you spiral into oblivion, but at least you're not alone, in the end?

This is the queer experience.

More queer assassins. Diversity win, that man who tried to kill you is pansexual.

But if you don't, it's ok to be wrong.

Better description below:

you guys ever think about an assassin who's really bad at his fucking job, and he has like, literally one job.

Kill this specific person.

But he just can't fucking do it, because he's a little cringefail nerd idiot, some kind of lethal buffoon, and all he does is accidentally collateral everyone around her like some kind of murder clown?

I think about him.

I think about him a lot. I'd pray for him, but I'm the one who's fucking him over all the time, so. It'd be counterproductive.

You can't be an assassin and straight.

It's too homoerotic.

What do you mean, you're a man hunting other men?

Women, stalking after women?

You're hiding your identity and skulk about the darkness and you have a terrible relationship with your parents?

You're fighting other assassins who are holding their knives to your pretty throat and hurling chairs at your head and stabbing you in the thighs? You're bleeding and dying in each other's arms? Your dying breaths are commingling and your life force is dwindling, and all you can do is clutch each other tightly as you spiral into oblivion, but at least you're not alone, in the end?

That's literally the queer experience.

More queer assassins. Diversity win, that man who tried to kill you is pansexual.

but if you disagree with me that's ok bc it's ok to be wrong.

Full description below, and it is free for download on the free kindle app from now until July 4th.

All hail homoerotic fights to the death.

I love you doomed gay romances. I love you angry bisexual yearning. I love you queer enemies to lovers. I love you disgusting filthy twisted toxic love that no one can let go of, because as sick as it is, it's still real, it's still raw, it's still something that makes you feel human. I adore you sad broken LGBT characters, who are foul mouthed and ill tempered and quick witted and so incredibly stupid.

I love you, morally gray and sometimes outright evil fairies.

I love you, rotten fruit behavior.
