It's HOT. I'm a grumpy, pale, indoor-hiding lump this time of year. But I upped my bookish art game recently (see photos below) and the arrival of August means autumn is coming. (My favorite season... but also where did the time go? *Breathes into paper bag*) Maybe some of you with kiddos are breathing a sigh of relief that school is starting again. (My little one demands my attention all year long, being a cat.)
I recently found a beautiful local-made fox art print that reminds me of the end of The Fox and the Howl trilogy (left); got my book stack tattoo expanded (middle); and received book mail of my #WritingTwin's gorgeous new Minefield Enforcers trilogy covers (right).
August also means I'm getting close to launching my next series! I know; it's been a while. But good things come to those who wait, and I think Branwyn Blood is definitely a "good thing." You're going to love the crazy cast of characters, dark plot, and twisted magic in this Texas-based urban fantasy with Celtic Fae.
In the meantime, I've got for you another of my series starters FREE, some other urban fantasy freebies and giveaways, plus exciting news about a book con next year!

About Body Snatcher:
From Underhill to Hill Country... exiled fae hide from oppression.
DRIVEN TO HELP. COMPELLED TO HURT. IT FALLS TO AN OVERWORKED BROWNIE TO KEEP FAE DARKNESS IN CHECK.
As a Brownie hidden in plain sight, one magic word uttered in my presence—even without my hearing aid—hijacks my autonomy and contorts me into a subservient Samaritan: help.
When a child goes missing and bodies turn up around Austin, I'm compelled to hunt. The culprit had better pray I find them before the deadlier Fae exiled to Hill Country exterminate the threat using claws and teeth.
But as I close in on the killer, I begin to fear my obedient nature could be used against me. Will the twisted agenda of a vengeful mind turn me into the villain?
Body Snatcher is the first full-length novel of the Branwyn Blood: The Exiled Fae of Texas series by award-winning, internationally bestselling author L.B. Carter, which intertwines Welsh/Celtic lore, supernatural crime mystery, and mercenary action in a noir urban fantasy with antiheroes, gray villains, and diverse characters.
