Cross-posted from the League of Reluctant Adults

As many of your are aware, our own Dr. Peeler’s Tempest Rising is hitting stands on November 1. This is exciting because Nicole’s one of the League’s debutantes, and we’re always excited when one of our own pops their cherry has a big debut book launch.

To help Nicole celebrate this auspicious occasion, I’ll be heading to Shreveport on November 7 for a joint signing at the Barnes & Noble. Yes, apparently there’s only one in Shreveport. Anyway, here’s the deal: Nicole thinks this is going to be a typical joint signing–readings, Q&A, etc. But the truth is, I’m a little pissed that Dr. Peeler’s been spreading dirty rotten lies all over the internet about how selkies are better than vampires.


I think we all know vampires rawk the most. Would you rather have an immortal with fangs get your back in a fight … or a seal? I thought so. Also, I’m pretty sure I can take Nicole. She’s feisty and agile, but I’ve given birth to a twelve-pound baby so I’m pretty much immune to pain. Plus, I can rap the Beastie Boys like no other, unlike some people whose rapping sounds like a dolphins getting sodomized. Just sayin’.


So the truth is I’m heading down to Shreveport to challenge Dr. Peeler to a cage match of epic proportions. It’s the ultimate show down to decide once and for all whether vampires or selkies will reign supreme in urban fantasy. Think cat fight, except with more F-bombs and snark. 

Place your bets now, ladies and gents.

  7. Sigh. The closest Barnes & Noble to me is over two hours away. Thank goodness for the internet.

  9. Jaye- is there a possibility of a movie being made on your book? Ever since I read it, I cross my fingers daily that it can join the ranks of other fictional books being made to movies. I would LOVE to see your characters brought to life. I can’t wait to get your next project. You rock my mullet!!!

  11. Hi Sheena,

    I suppose there’s always a possibility. I think it’s harder to get newer author’s books made into series because Hollywood wants to know there’s a big, built-in audience for a project. If fans like yourself keep spreading the word you never know what could happen. ;)
