Blurb:
Being a witch doesn’t mean one can beat the devil forever.
Jeffrey Overton,
unemployed IT professional turned poker player, pushes his luck once too often
and runs afoul of the host of an illegal card club. The man sent to escort
Jeffrey to a “meeting” about his supernatural winning streak arrives at
Jeffrey’s crappy North Portland apartment, lock-picking tools in hand and a
charm to block Jeffrey’s magick.
Head muscle for said
host, Mike Wells, is a Daisy from Daisyville. He isn’t a witch. What he lacks
in magickal talent he makes up for in brawn, so he doesn’t expect the guy he’s
after to overpower him. But once Mike renders Jeffrey helpless, he’d rather
seduce him than bring him in.
Jeffrey and Michael
ditch the “meeting” and end up hunting some of the same people they ran from,
trying to get Jeffrey back into his own body. And that’s only part of the
adventure. The pair travel halfway across the country on the quietest road trip
in history and find missing people, empire-building witches, and maybe even the
families they’d both thought lost to them.

Excerpt:
If Sal had sent someone after me, a short trip
up to Seattle might be a good idea, maybe even BC. That called for some new
clothes, so I grabbed my battered gym bag—my quick escape kit—and was almost
home free when the kitchen door burst open. It would’ve been dumb to turn off
the light when the goomba first went to work on the lock—I can’t see any better
in the dark than your average Daisy, not when I’m blocked. Once that massive
body filled the doorway, I wished I had. Wished I’d done something.
He hesitated, barely a moment, and I bolted for
the front door. He grabbed me before I made it out of the kitchen and pinned
both of my arms to my sides. It wouldn’t work, I knew that, but I still tried
to burn his hands. All I needed was enough time to—fuck, is he laughing?
“Give it up, pretty boy. You’re blocked.”
The big man pushed me against the wall
face-first and pulled both hands behind my back.
“Hey, wait a sec, big guy. Let’s talk about
this. I can—”
He pushed me flat against the wall, and the rest
of that sentence disappeared in the rush of air he squeezed from my lungs. I
couldn’t help being turned on, even though pain and domination usually aren’t
my thing. Neither are bears, but underneath the padding he felt nice and solid,
leaning full against me. He tightened a plastic zip tie around my wrists with
shaking hands. And then he held me there.

About the author:
Charley Descoteaux has always heard voices. She was relieved
to learn they were fictional characters, and started writing when they insisted
daydreaming just wasn’t good enough. In exchange, they’ve agreed to let her
sleep once in a while. Charley grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area during a
drought, and found her true home in the soggy Pacific Northwest. She has
survived earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, but couldn’t make it through one
day without stories.
