An incubus and two toddlers walk into a bar…wait. That’s no joke. That’s Cheyenne’s life, and you weren’t supposed to see them.

Cheyenne, a half-human incubus, is good at keeping secrets. He keeps his music career hidden from his tyrannical father. He keeps his true nature as an incubus secret from the humans whose lust sustains him. And he keeps his children unknown to the incubi, especially the royal family—his family.

As Cheyenne’s musical career takes off, his carefully constructed life begins to unravel, exacerbated by an ex-lover who can’t let go, a crotchety barkeeper with a dirty mind and a pure heart, a drag queen who moonlights as a nanny, and Alexander—who’s not sure if he’s falling for the incubus or the rocker.

His so-called friends and family conspire to make Cheyenne choose between his children and his career, but he isn’t playing that game. He doesn’t buy into the “your kids could save the race” madness. He only has to keep them safe. Besides he’s got bigger plans—he’s going to be a rockstar.

Warning: Contains hot were-tiger sex, a Thanksgiving celebration that makes the Inquisition look like a tea party, and an incubus who’ll rock your world.

Improbable love. Impossible life. Immeasurable danger.

This collection of poems records the impressions on a child of a 1950’s farm childhood. Poet Liz Kirkpatrick writes in a rhythmic free verse of things remembered and the way they struck her as a child, but with the understanding of maturity. The content reflects family, as is true for all children, but also the physical environment of midcentury small-town Ohio. That sense of place is almost tangible, as if growing from the cover photo taken by the poet’s father in 1949 when they had just moved from Toledo. The 1945 Buick, the corn crib, the weathered barn and the train on the tracks through the fields set the place and mood that continue in the pages.

Something wicked this way comes–and this time, wicked is going to win.

A singer who has promised something she cannot deliver and gets help from an unexpected source,
And more. If you’ve ever rooted for a witch, an evil fairy or a wolf, this anthology is for you.
