The newest Virtue Shifters story, BEAR MY HEART is now available! Shy, responsible nurse Shanti wants nothing more than to get out of Virtue someday, and Alaskan-born rail worker and grizzly shifter Peter will stop at nothing to help her dreams come true! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXL1V19...

The very cute cover to Murphy Lawless's BEAR MY HEART features a golden bear in silhouette against a deep green background. Hearts, sparkling diamonds, and a variety of Alaskan Native and railroad icons in pale greens and golds surround the title. There's a silhouetted image of a small town with a big gazebo to one side, and the series title, Virtue Shifters, is featured above the gazebo. Cover art and design by Indigo Chick Designs.

Something pretty cool happened the other day: I found my "pay it forward" book in the Little Free Library down the street! Scrolled back through IG, turns out I put it in there in late July 2023, prompted by my friend @sarawhizbanger.bsky.social who was helping me get the word out about the book. 🙂

#Bluesky #Booksky #UF #MyBrothersKeeper #FiveStars Max Asher is a private-eye, raised as a Jewish Mystic. He has been estranged from his twin brother, Solomon (Sol), for years. Full Review In ALT TEXT @3pomeranians.bsky.social @benschenkman.bsky.social

I am truly Flabbergasted, Speechless, Stupefied, Thunderstruck, and totally Surprised.
Max Asher is a private-eye, raised as a Jewish Mystic. He has been estranged from his twin brother, Solomon (Sol), for years. He certainly didn't think the next time they'd meet would be Sol's funeral. Little did he know the funeral would turn into an investigation. When Sol’s widow, Gabby, begs him to determine the real cause of her husband's death, Max explores New Haven, Connecticut, and becomes deeply immersed in the mystical otherworld of bizarre bazaars and nocturnal nightclubs. Can Max reconcile his religious upbringing with the magics he must conjure to find the truth? Such an amazing book and an awesome author! 5 Fantastical Stars!!!!!

Today is my 21st Full Time Writer anniversary! I'm gonna link to each of my series on Amazon throughout the day today. 🥰 #1: The Walker Papers. Re-releasing these with 8 of 12 available now & the 9th is coming in early January! #booksky #urbanfantasy www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHBQ37P...

A screenshot of the Amazon series page for CE Murphy's THE WALKER PAPERS series, featuring the covers for URBAN SHAMAN, BANSHEE CRIES, and THUNDERBIRD FALLS, as well as a quote from Jim Butcher praising the first book. The rest of the text reads:

Joanne Walker has no use for the mystical, and up until this morning, the mystical had no use for her.

Now she has old gods to face, banshees to fight, and witches to win over as she's forced to choose between accepting an unexpected magical heritage or...dying.

(Look, nobody said it was a *good* choice.)

C.E. Murphy's best-selling urban fantasy series The Walker Papers is back with new covers, a new series numbering system, and more!
