Malicious Magick: Book Two of the Omnichron Chronicles Coming August 15

It’s been awhile! I haven’t updated my site since the last time I released a book in this series, so I figured it was time. Life has changed a bit since then, but I’m still writing quite a bit and having just as much fun as I ever have!

I also think I’m doing some of my best writing I’ve ever done. There’s always room for improvement, but, I’m really quite proud of my new book and I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Here’s the official description:

Magic is real. And now, it’s political.

Reporter-turned-reluctant-sorcerer John Jupiter has barely begun to understand the world he’s been pulled into. Still reeling from the revelations of Modern Magick, he’s now launched a full-scale charm offensive trying to show the world that magic can be a force for good. Meanwhile, freshman Congresswoman Zara Ravelle is pushing the nation’s first bill to regulate magic, determined to prevent another catastrophe like the Stanhope Stadium Incident, where nearly 50,000 people lost their lives in a magical disaster the world still struggles to understand.

But not everyone wants magic controlled. They want it eradicated.

A viral protest movement known as the ANTIMAGs has taken hold online, fueled by fear, conspiracy, and chaos. Their message is clear: wizards should be registered, locked away, and treated as less than human. Behind the movement lurks Chris Crockett, a reclusive billionaire with a far more sinister agenda. His true goal? To twist magic to serve his own terrifying ambitions. As politics ignite, ancient powers awaken, and dark forces gather, John finds himself caught between the court of public opinion… and a kingdom of the dead. Because some spells don’t just change the world, they shatter it.

Comes out on August 15th. You can pre-order it now here. If you do, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
