Loved The Veritas Codex by Betsey Kulakowski! Think Expedition X, but they actually find creatures. Solid story, good characters, and an exiting mystery m. I stayed up till 1am to finish, then immediately ordered books 2 & 3! 💙📚 #bookreview #cryptids

Let’s do a throwback Thursday! ‘The Midnight Tree’ was my first published novel, and how it came to be is a fun story. My son came home from daycare with a picture he created of a spooky tree and a haunted house. It was charming, and it inspired me to write a supernatural mystery novel for him. 💙📚

They are not - the design team is in India, they work for the publisher (I’m just guest edito I didn’t work on the covers) . I don’t have specific names but I did ask the publisher, I agree I want to give them credit. They’ll be credited in the actual book too, but that’s not done yet.

I received feedback from a potential agent that my book series was 'unmarketable' in the US, because it showed police in a positive way, which the left wing hates, but the main character is a Jewish lesbian, which the right wing hates. Thankfully, they were very wrong, but who tells an author that?

"What happens when Law & Order meets H.P. Lovecraft in the fog-draped streets of Rhode Island? You get Providence Supernatural Crimes Unit, a debut series opener that is as thrilling as it is atmospheric, and one that announces Chad Anctil as a genuinely exciting new voice in Urban Fantasy horror."
