What’s after Forgotten Ghosts? The Books of the Dead

By Leave a Comment

I know a great many of you have been itching to find out what happens after that shocker in Forgotten Ghosts! Well, itch no more! That … doesn’t sound right. ANYHOW, The Book of the Ghost, the first novella in The Books of the Dead, is out now. Snag it on Amazon!

Some of you have asked what The Books of the Dead are, so I’m going to explain it here and give you this handy graphic. It’s a ten novella arc, told from multiple characters’ points of view, including fan favorites like Vicky, Zola, Foster, Nixie, and more as they try to save Damian. Each novella will give us more background and insight into our favorites as they continue the fight against Nudd. We’re going to be seeing one a month for almost a solid year. That’s a whole lot of story, folks. Like four times the amount I normally release in a year. Strap in!

Snag this box set to get books 7 and 8 in one package. Available on Amazon and Audible!

A queen’s fury. A king’s madness. The Fae have come for blood.

Witch Queen’s War (Book 7)

There’s a turning point in every war, but I didn’t expect this one to be in my front yard. Allies of the Fae king have moved against the military stationed in Saint Charles. Our unsteady alliances are threatening to fracture, providing the water witches and vampires an opportunity to strike. With losses on both sides, things are far more dire than we realized, and the return of a long-forgotten enemy has made that clear. Thankfully, I know a very grumpy parrot.

Forgotten Ghosts (Book 8)

A necromancer’s fear. A family’s fate. An ancient spirit with a new alliance. 

I shouldn’t have told myself things couldn’t get any worse. They did.

As Nixie struggles to unite the water witches, the Fae king discovers a spy in his ranks. We’re forced to split our focus and our powers between the unrest in Faerie and the rising tensions in Falias. When Nudd’s latest gambit puts humanity’s most dangerous weapons into his hands, we can’t let anything stand in our way. We’ll need help from new contacts and trusted allies if we hope to stop the Fae king’s madness.

But the award for worst timing in history goes to an old friend: Vicky.

Brace yourself for supernatural thrills in this chilling installment of Eric R. Asher’s Vesik series! This collection includes books 7 and 8 of the Vesik urban fantasy series.

Twenty years working in tech is done. I made the decision to be a full time author this month. The sense of freedom is hard to put into words. And yes, of course I still have a job because writing is in fact a job, but there is joy in it. Leaving corporate America behind is a weight off my soul. I owe thanks to each and every one of you who offered a kind word and supported my work over these past six years of writing. Thank you! Here’s to a great many more adventures.

An Important Note About Kindle Unlimited

The Vesik series ebooks are currently exclusive to Amazon. It took a lot of research to come to this decision, and while I don’t like the idea of limiting the availability of my novels, I also want to be sure they can reach the most readers. The majority of those genre readers are on Kindle. The books will likely remain in KU through the forthcoming novella releases planned for 2019. Audiobooks will continue to be available through Audible and iTunes as well as Amazon.

Darth Glitter: A Cautionary Tale for May the 4th

By Leave a Comment

I suppose we all have a tale of warning. A holiday feast gone wrong, a family misstep, the last time you were allowed into that one restaurant you’ll never speak of again. Allow me to regale you with the ultimate warning of that seasonal villain known as … glitter.

It was a cold night when I found a fantastic template for Star Wars paper snowflakes. I downloaded them and printed a dozen patterns and dulled twice as many hobby knives cutting them out. One of them was Darth Vader. The snowflake looked great with six Vader heads in a spiffy symmetrical circle.

You know what I thought would make it better?

Black glitter.

Shiny Vader heads hanging from the banister when our guests arrived for the holidays. I stood in Michaels—a craft store for those of you that don’t have one—about fifteen minutes later. Less than an hour and I returned home with a jar of glitter and aerosol glue. Spray on glue, who knew?

I’m guessing the devil knew.

I painstakingly arranged the Vader snowflake on a piece of cardboard and took it into the front yard. I didn’t want to make a mess, after all. Thoroughly doused in glue, I carried the snowflake back to our dining room table.

The glitter went on easily enough, until I lifted my hand and realized I’d glued about five pounds of glitter to my own flesh. Thank you, aerosol glue. I shook my hand, smacked the open jar of glitter, and spilled it all over the snowflake. I snatched the jar up as though that may stem the tsunami of glitter, but glitter encrusted hands are slippery.

I dropped the jar, and it exploded. It didn’t spill; it EXPLODED INTO A GLITTERY CLOUD. I may have said a few words—a lot of words—I won’t repeat here. I tried to carry the drowned snowflake outside to brush it off, only to drop the board and send a wave of glitter across the kitchen floor.

You know what aerosol glue does? It sticks to everything. EVERYTHING. I spent a damned hour scraping that crap off the floor and the chairs and the stools. The next morning our porch looked like a black disco ball. Oh, aerosol glue holds glitter on the door too. Even the doorknob had a nice layer of shiny black crap on it.

Be safe out there.

Say no to glitter. Unless it’s for Carrie.

May the 4th be with you.
