Congratulations to Shannon Lawrence on the release of her new urban fantasy, MYTH STALKER: WENDIGO NIGHTS!

Myth Stalker: Wendigo Nights

By Shannon Lawrence

Warrior Muse Press

Release date: March 26

A late night call from her mentor sends Selina Moonstone on a mission to Canada, determined to track down a Wendigo and exterminate it.

Accustomed to facing off with the all too real creatures of Native American lore, Selina discovers the Wendigo is someone close to her, forcing her to change gears from destruction to frantic search for a cure. There’s no known way to rid a person of the Wendigo spirit once it has begun the consumption of the victim’s soul, a lesson she learned the hard way in her youth.

With her loved one’s transition to Wendigo imminent, Selina must fight her own lifelong training as a Myth Stalker and find another way. She gathers a mismatched group of allies, including a charming Sin Eater and a conceited mercenary Cryptid hunter from her past, and embarks on a mission to find a solution before it’s too late.

Available in paperback and e-book, from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and more. Find the book at your favorite store using the universal link.

A fan of all things fantastical and frightening, Shannon Lawrence writes primarily horror and fantasy. Her stories can be found in over fifty anthologies and magazines in addition to her collections. Her nonfiction title, The Business of Short Stories, is available now and her debut urban fantasy novel is releasing March 2024. You can also find her as a co-host of the podcast Mysteries, Monsters, & Mayhem. When she’s not writing, she’s hiking through the wilds of Colorado and photographing her magnificent surroundings, where, coincidentally, there’s always a place to hide a body or birth a monster.

I’ll be brief this month as I’m rather tired in the midst of some family stuff. Life sure presents ups and downs.

The positive aspects of my life include longer daylight starting this weekend in America (can we PLEASE keep Daylight Savings Time?!?), writing a little bit, and my 87-year-old dad moving from Ohio to South Carolina (where I live, along with one of my sisters).

A sad reason for my dad’s move is the death of my 87-year-old mom in February. We are fortunate that Mom lived so long, and it was scary and surreal to witness her health decline the past four months to the point where her body was done with this world.

Mom endured a rough upbringing, and my childhood attempts to soothe her anxiety were likely the foundation for my career choice of psychologist. She was a teacher who loved crafting, swearing, laughing, and Jumbles puzzles. I hope she has found some peace.

Here are my parents in their 40s:
