Monster Trainer, launch! 🚀

Book two of the Chaos Caretakers series is now available!

This is a special note just to let you know that if you snagged a copy of MONSTER SITTER and enjoyed it, the sequel, MONSTER TRAINER, is live as of today!

(Waaaaait, I hear you thinking, August… that’s so FAST. How the heck did you crank out two books in three weeks?! Well, my readers, that is the magic of A) publishing, and B) collaboration. [Also, we wrote them both last year.])

Get your peepers and Kindles ready for the second installment of the Chaos Caretakers series, where rough-edged protagonist Reece O'Dell, her ward Maelie, and her partner Devon Duluth hide out in the dense forests of Canada and solve the mystery of what pursues them…

Raising monsters is harder than hunting them.

Reece O’Dell was a top-tier operative with Hunters, Inc., until she traded kill orders for kitchen duty in a mythborn commune. Five years later, she’s still trying to figure out how to be a mother to a changeling who keeps sneaking off to the fae realm and lighting things on fire — sometimes literally.

But peace was never going to last. Maelie’s powers are surging out of control, and the enemies who once hunted her haven’t gone away — they’ve just gotten smarter. And now, they’re coming for the whole commune.

As the threat of war looms and old instincts resurface, Reece must decide if she’s a protector, a leader, or a broken weapon in a fight that can’t be won.

One girl. One found family. A thousand ways for it all to fall apart.

That’s right… I laid the August themes down thick in this one! Once again, I had the honor of crafting the outline for MONSTER TRAINER, in collaboration with Paige Andrews and Percival Constantine, a process that was just as fun (if not moreso) for the second book than it was for the first.
