I’m traveling to a convention this weekend, but I can’t leave you empty-handed. (Empty blogged?) So here’s a teaser from my most recent release, Acorn Canyon (Cleodora Book 1)

There was a presence. Sharp, with harsh angles. Cleodora whispered a warning. “Mother, something’s here.”
With sly humor Navaire replied, “A lot of things are here.”
Why would adults never believe her? Irritated, Cleodora looked around. She scanned the canyon side and up into the huge oak trees. Her gaze swept through the thick foliage, where so many leaves overlapped. The sense of warning didn’t fade.
She tilted her head to search higher. There! In the branches that swept down directly over them, she saw… What was it? Another kind of spirit, not at all transparent. It looked a bit like a bobcat, but with six legs ending in big paws and two tails that were longer than they should be. But something was wrong with it. The fur was streaked with pale gray instead of a spirit’s rosy hues, and it was all straggly and crumpled. And the eyes… Two of them were jet black, while the center one was reddish and swollen. Cleodora felt cold under its lightless gaze. Tufted ears tilted back, and the spirit showed needle-like fangs in a nasty hiss.
Without thinking, she reached over to grip Navaire’s arm. Her voice trembled. “What kind of spirit is that?”
