Title: Skate the Thief

Genre: YA fantasy

Skate is a thief, trained and owned by the local crime syndicate, the Ink. When she tries to burgle a shut-in’s home, she gets caught by the owner—a powerful undead wizard. He makes a deal with her: “borrow” books from other wizards in return for a place to stay.

Caught between her growing fondness for the wizard and her past with the crime syndicate, Skate doesn’t know where her loyalties lie. But she’d better figure it out, because there’s a new player in town, one whose magical hypnotism puts them all at risk.

The first chapter is available for free here. The book is available on Amazon in paperback and ebook. Kindle Unlimited users can read the Kindle version for free.

Rag & Bone Chronicles Book 2 (Skate the Seeker) is set for a September 12 release! The first proofreads are done, and now it’s back in the hands of editors for round two. Pre-order the e-book version, if you want. Check out the cover! There will also be a map at the front of this one, which is fun.

An extra blog post is up, so go peruse at your leisure.

Also, a friend of mine put together a fun chat AI. If you want to go have a convo with Skate, go for it!

Lastly, I have achieved a goal: Skate is now on TV tropes because you can just make a page for a piece of media, and I didn't know that until recently.
