Spells and Sorcery

You have magic.

One sentence, three words, four syllables. Enough to change my life forever. And I’m not talking about the whole spells and sorcery thing.

Lexie Carrigan thought the weirdest thing about her was she preferred watching documentaries and reading the newspaper to reality TV and Twitter. But on the eve of her fifteenth birthday, her aunt and sisters drop a bomb–she’s magical.

Now the girl who never made waves is blowing up her nightstand and trying to keep from wreaking havoc on her school. When a kind stranger shows up with all the answers, Lexie hopes he’ll be able to help her control her newfound powers. But Gavon may not be as kind as he seems, and soon Lexie finds out that being magical is the least weird thing about her.

Spells and Sorcery is the first YA fantasy from S. Usher Evans, author of the Razia series, the Madion War Trilogy and Empath.

Lovers and Liars: New Covers!

I’m in the process of trying to make my cover collection for the Lovers and Liars serial a little more uniform so, you know, they actually look like they all belong together. While I have plans to have them professionally designed, with a little help from Canva I’ve been able to make some temporary new covers to carry me over until I can afford such an expensive undertaking.

As I mentioned in the third Lovers and Liars book, I’m also redoing the titles for each book to eliminate the supernatural creature Loki and Aphrodite face. I think it just gives a little too much away.

So, feast your eyes on the newest (temporary) covers! I’ll be going through all my Amazon, Smashwords, Goodreads etc. pages to make sure everybody matches. THEN it’s on to editing the books to make sure all the covers align. BUT. I’m really happy with them. They don’t scream SEX like the serial does, but hey. I like ’em.

Note: I will also be pulling Maenad‘s paperback, BUT it will reappear as a combined version of books 1 & 2, because it’s too itty bitty right now to sell as a paperback.

Product Review: Nectar Body Whip by Astral Apothic

Product Review: Astral Apothic’s Nectar Body Whip

I generally only review books, but seeing what a profound impact reviews have on my work, I figured it was time to broaden my scope. A fabulous lady author who worked with me on It Begins Here and It Ends Here has a beauty shop on etsy where she and her partner sell soaps, creams, body whips—the works. Out of curiosity and a desire to support my pal, I ended up buying the Nectar body whip a few months ago.

And let me tell you. It’s fabulous.
