Czech copies of The Vine Witch have arrived! It’s always interesting to me to see how the title gets interpreted in other languages. This translates to something in the vicinity of Wine and Lines? Which doesn’t make literal sense to me, but more than likely has a more subtle meaning in Czech. As you can see, they stuck with the original cover design because it’s beautiful. :)
Available now from Grada publishers via their imprint, Cosmopolis, for those in the Czech Republic.
**Update: Grada has bought the rights to a Slovak edition now as well. Ďakujem!
Witches and Wine For A Good Cause!
This post is a little more personal than usual. My cousin, Tony, has been a firefighter in Denver for twenty-one years and a paramedic for twenty-nine years. He’s been diagnosed with a work-related cancer that requires, as usual, an expensive out-of-state treatment. There is a GoFundMe account that has so far raised nearly half of the money, but half isn’t good enough when you’re battling cancer.
So, there is a TWO-WEEK ONLINE AUCTION happening now to raise more!
I wanted to let readers of the blog know we’ve paired signed copies of The Vine Witch trilogy (paperback and audio available) with a bottle of Staura Cellars wine, which is the boutique winery my other cousin, Tony’s sister, owns with her husband. Their wine is fantastic! And a gold medal winner!
There is also a Florida vacation, sports memorabilia, signed celebrity photos, tea and soap baskets, jewelry, wine club memberships, etc. to bid on. If you’re interested, please visit the online auction site by clicking on the embedded link above and have a look around for a good cause.
Thank you! And if you see something you like, bid!

If you’re still wanting to read the entire Vine Witch series, you couldn’t do better than to pick up the ebooks during the month of April. Each ebook is on sale for $1.99 in the USA.

New Novel Coming…Soonish
I’ve been working steadily all through the pandemic, which many of you know has had its unique challenges, and somehow managed to turn in my latest manuscript to the publisher this week! The working title is The Raven Sisters, but I don’t yet know if that will stick. Sometimes things change in the editorial process. This is the first book of a new witchy duology from 47North that will be out sometime late this year or early next. I’ll report more on the release when I have a firm date.
While related to the world of The Vine Witch in some subtle ways, this story takes place ten years earlier in a fantasy version of Victorian London. Here’s a brief description of what it’s about:
After a pair of witches remove a man's memories, he tracks them down and demands they return what they stole. But when he's given another man's memory by mistake—that of a recent murder victim—he and the witches get drawn into the hunt for a serial killer in Victorian London.
*And for a visual hint of what this novel is about, here’s a little mood board to go along with the story:
