There is an anthology coming out this fall that caught my attention, mainly because it features Jacquelyn Frank. I usually enjoy most of Ms. Frank’s work, especially the first of a new series. Nocturnal, however, also features Kate Douglas, Jess Haines, and Clare Willis. The cover was released a while ago, but it is just now I tracked down a bit of info on the stories themselves. You can find it on the shelves on September 7th.

New Orleans native Dr. Maggie Dillon thought she left her past behind her—until she’s enraptured by a handsome patient who has been possessed by a malevolent spirit. To find a cure, Colby revisits her magical roots—and unleashes a primal lust too vital to ignore…
My story in the Nocturnal anthology is part of my new DemonSlayers series, though it’s perfectly understandable on its own. I’ve got the first chapter posted on my website at

Thanks very much for the info. I have been looking forward to this one.
