    Gin Blanco merchandise now available on Redbubble!

    I have a surprise. Gin Blanco-themed merchandise is now available at Redbubble. Woot! 😎 

    Note: You will have to enable mature content in order to see the artwork.

    SPIDER’S BITE:

    I decided to use the first line of Spider’s Bite, book #1 in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series, along with Gin’s spider rune. The artwork was done by the awesome Jenny Zemanek.

    I ordered some merchandise for myself, including the notebooks (which look great) and a graphic T-shirt (which is super soft). I’m really pleased with how the merchandise/products turned out, and I hope that you all will be too.

    MORE ABOUT REDBUBBLE:

    If you’re not familiar with Redbubble, it’s a site where folks can upload their artwork, and people can get it printed on whatever they like, including T-shirts, mugs, notebooks, pillows, etc. There are more than 50 (!) items/products available for both the white and the black Gin Blanco prints so I hope you find something you like.

    If you ever wanted a Gin Blanco-themed apron, this is your chance. 😎 

    MORE MERCHANDISE IN THE FUTURE?

    If enough people buy the Gin merchandise, I will get some more art/prints made for the Elemental Assassin series and my other books/series. So if you are interested in the merchandise, then please order a notebook, shirt, apron, mug, etc. Thank you for reading.

    Dirty Deeds 2 anthology released . . .

    The Dirty Deeds 2 anthology has been released today, June. 7. Woot! I’m so excited to be participating in this anthology with Faith Hunter, Diana Pharaoh Francis, Devon Monk, and R.J. Blain. 😎 

    My contribution to the anthology is Heart Stings, a 38,000-word novella told from the point of view of Lorelei Parker. This is Elemental Assassin novella #19.5, although it can also be read as a stand-alone adventure.

    Heart Stings takes place after Last Strand, Elemental Assassin #19, and follows Lorelei as she deals with an old enemy. 

    NOTE: This is a limited-time anthology that will only be available for six months — until Dec. 7, 2022. After that date, Dirty Deeds 2 will no longer be available. So if you want to read the anthology, get it now. Thanks and happy reading!

    DIRTY DEEDS 2 DESCRIPTION:

    When the going gets tough, the tough get their hands dirty.

    Join NY Times bestselling authors Faith Hunter and Jennifer Estep along with USA Today bestselling authors R.J. Blain, Diana Pharaoh Francis, and Devon Monk on a brand-new romp through magical worlds where the damsels bring the distress, what can go wrong will go wrong, and nothing is as it seems.

    Adventure with Eli Younger, Liz Everhart, and Brute in the thrilling world of Jane Yellowrock. Face off against old gods and lost souls at a magical crossroads on Route 66. Become entangled in Ashland’s dark, deadly web with side characters from the Elemental Assassin series.

And finally, meet up with the Quinns and friends in the zany world of the Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) series.

    In this collection of all-new urban fantasy and paranormal stories, the gloves are off and simply surviving might just be the dirtiest, most difficult deed of all.

    Sugar Plum Spies, Section 47 holiday book, to be released Nov. 8 …

    I’m thrilled to announce that I will be publishing Sugar Plum Spies on Nov. 8. Woot!

    Sugar Plum Spies is book #2 in my Section 47 urban fantasy, spies-with-magic series. Note that this is a short holiday book — about 47,000 words. Sugar Plum Spies can be read as a stand-alone adventure, but of course it helps if you have read A Sense of Danger, the first book in the series.

    Sugar Plum Spies features the first-person points of view of both Charlotte Locke and Desmond Percy, just like A Sense of Danger did.

    Here is a look at the cover art, which was done by the awesome Tony Mauro. Tony also does the covers for my Elemental Assassin series and some of my other books. I love the purple color, along with the red/green holiday sparks. 😎 

    PRE-ORDER THE EBOOK:

    ABOUT THE PRINT BOOK:

    I am planning to do a print version of Sugar Plum Spies, and I will share those links when they go online later this year. I am also hopeful that there will be an audiobook, but it’s too early to tell.

    MORE SECTION 47 BOOKS?

    If Sugar Plum Spies sells well, then I will write more books in my Section 47 series. Ideally, I’d like to write at least two more full-length books after Sugar Plum Spies, but it does depend on the sales. So if you like the Section 47 series, then please pre-order Sugar Plum Spies, recommend it to your friends, etc. Thanks!

    SUGAR PLUM SPIES DESCRIPTION:

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep serves up an action-packed holiday adventure in her Section 47 urban-fantasy world of secrets, lies, and superspies with amazing magical abilities. Perfect for fans of Alias, Die Hard, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Nikita, True Lies, and Netflix’s Bodyguard.

    VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS . . .

    Most spies take a break for the holidays, but not me, Charlotte Locke. As an analyst for Section 47, a secret spy organization, I normally use my magical form of synesthesia to uncover lies and track paramortal bad guys from the comfort of my cubicle. But tonight I’m going out into the field, along with my partner, Desmond Percy, a powerful galvanist.

    Instead of enjoying Christmastime in the city, I’m in a German castle, dressed like a toy soldier and masquerading as a waitress at a swanky Christmas Eve party. My mission? To gather information that will help Section 47 track down a dangerous enemy.

    Despite the glitz and glamour, I can’t shake the sense that something is wrong—and that Desmond and I might not leave the party alive.

    DANCES OF DEATH . . .

    My name is Desmond Percy, although I’ve had many aliases during my years working as a cleaner for Section 47. But I’ve never had a real partner until Charlotte Locke.

    My part of the mission is simple: pretend to be a guest and keep an eye on things at the party while Charlotte uses her synesthesia to track down the information we need. But what starts out as a sugar plum dream quickly turns into a holiday nightmare.

    Forget the mission. All I want for Christmas is to keep Charlotte safe.

    Note: Sugar Plum Spies is a 47,000-word book. It is book 2 in the Section 47 series, but it can also be read as a stand-alone holiday adventure.

    TEAR DOWN THE THRONE DESCRIPTION:

    Bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Gargoyle Queen epic fantasy series where magic reigns, alliances are tested, and a dangerous attraction could tear down a throne. . .

    Crown princess. Clever spy. Powerful mind magier. Gemma Ripley of Andvari is all those things—and determined to stop an enemy from using magical tearstone weapons to conquer her kingdom.

    Gemma’s quest for answers leads her to a trade Summit between the various kingdoms. Among the other royals in attendance is Queen Maeven Morricone of Morta and her son, Prince Leonidas—Gemma’s charming and dangerous nemesis.

    Gemma knows that Maeven always has a long game in motion, and sure enough, the cunning queen invokes an arcane tradition that threatens the fragile truce between Andvari and the other kingdoms. Despite her best intentions, Gemma once again finds herself thrown together with Leo and battling her growing feelings for the enemy prince.

    When a series of deadly attacks shatters the Summit’s peaceful negotiations, Gemma realizes that someone wants to tear the royals down from their thrones—and that this enemy just might succeed.
