My new novel, The City That Would Eat the World, Book 1 of More Gods Than Stars, is up for preorder now in ebook and audio and will be out on February 11th! The audiobook will be narrated by the amazing Robin Miles, and I’m incredibly excited to hear what she does with it. (She impressed the heck out of me when we met recently to go over pronunciations, accents, and the like ⏤ the book’s in great hands.) Expect the cover reveal sometime in January ⏤ I’ve got fun plans for it!
And if you really can’t wait to read it? A preview of Chapter 1 is up now for my Patreon subscribers! (And, you know, a bunch of short stories. Over a book’s worth of short stories you can’t read anywhere else yet, mostly set in my multiverse, The Aetheriad.)

Synopsis:
Thea is a washed-up mimic exterminator who expected more out of life, not some hero from stories. Aven is an impulsive wandering adventurer whose personal goddess is constantly getting her into trouble. Neither of them have the slightest interest in getting involved in world-shaking historical events.
History doesn’t care what they want, unfortunately, and it’s fallen right into their laps in the shape of a godslaying weapon from a fallen civilization. Thrown together out of chance, Thea and Aven will have to learn to work together if they want to survive their pursuers.
Because if they fail, and the weapon falls into the wrong hands? The results won’t be pretty. No one’s going to be using it on some random street corner goddess, teakettle god, or any of the other countless teeming millions of divinities on Ishveos.
No, there’s one target that sits above all others.
Cambrias, Whose Watch Never Ends. Cambrias, whose power has given rise to Cambrias’ Wall, the greatest city in the known multiverse ⏤ a city that has already covered much of a continent, and is strip mining entire mountain ranges for space and building material. A city that threatens to spread across the entire surface of Ishveos.
And there’s no shortage of folks willing to kill Thea and Aven in order to stop the Wall, no matter the consequences.
