Golly gee, three witches and … me?

I’ll never tell.

I thought it would be fun to share a sneak peek at the planned new cover art for one of my favorite books in my own catalog, Rowan Blaize and the Hand of Djinn Rummy. The novel is a satirical romp set in the sultry, magically charged city of St. Augustine, Florida (yours truly spent his formative years in this gorgeous coastal haven) and features some of the most lively characters I have ever created. Work still needs to be done on the illustration but this is the “prototype,” if you will. Here’s the back cover teaser from the novel:

Twenty years have passed since Rowan Blaize faced his greatest magical foe, but the ancient warlock is still on-the-run with his mortal foundling, Miranda. What better place to lay low than the charming seaside town of St. Augustine, Florida? The Ancient City, however, is already home to voyeuristic ghosts, cocktail-loving vampires, werewolf comedians, and three highly eccentric witches! 

Rowan’s monster-mash celebration is all set for Halloween night, but when a cursed ring crosses paths with a beauty pageant brat, a catastrophe is unleashed upon the partying Ancient City … and possibly the world. Can the witches stop bickering long enough to combine their powers and avert disaster, or will Rowan’s worst fears about an enemy from the past be realized?

Rowan Blaize and the Hand of Djin Rummy (Enchanted Heritage Chronicles: Book II) is a novel that blends enchantment, satire, suspense, and horror in a delectable cauldron’s-brew-of-a-tale. Fabulous new characters are introduced, elaborate back-stories reveal much about Rowan’s extraordinary past, and tantalizing questions are posed about his future.
