My Familiar-June 1, 2007

Well, I wasn't sure if it would happen, but it has! The publishing of My Familiar is underway and will be available by June 1, 2007.

While being a story in the same setting as The Shadow Within, it will be a completely separate story with all new characters. However, if you pay attention some of the Shadow Within characters are either mentioned or make small guest appearances :-)

Here is a brief description of the story:

16 year old Nikki Blake is looking forward to the end of her Sophmore year, except for a few problems. The Prom Night Car Jacking has made all the parents freakishly overprotective. And there is the slight problem Nikki has had since her birthday being around boys. But, the biggest problem for Nikki is that her best friend, the pragmatic down to earth Robert Weston, is suddenly eating flies and spouting nonsense about her sister's new boyfriend that belongs in a fairy tale novel. Nikki has always trusted Robert, but it seems as though that trust may have been mistakenly placed. And this mistake may be the last one she makes.

So, keep an eye out in June, 2007. The book will be available through amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com and hopefully at other bookstores around the country. If you can't find it, ask for it, and the store should be able to order it for you.
