Greetings!

This month’s newsletter is going to be a little more informal in format because I want to make sure it’s getting to everyone. So please forgive the text-heavy, imageless page you see before you.

A few of you have contacted me to say your newsletters are arriving in your inboxes as a sort of squished, unreadable image. If this is you, then the problem is the images in the newsletter.

Try adding jenniferblackstream@jenniferblackstream.com to your contacts (instructions here: https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/email-whitelist) This will tell your email service provider that I can be trusted not to send you unsolicited illicit photos, and they can safely display images in emails I send you.

If that doesn’t work, get the information from the header of the email (instructions here: https://mxtoolbox.com/Public/Content/EmailHeaders/) and send that information to me. I will send it to my newsletter provider and they will troubleshoot what might be going on.

In happier news, I am almost finished with book #16 in the Blood Trails series…SKINNED. If all continues to go well, then I should be contacting people about a beta read in the next week or so. If you filled out the beta interest form, you’ll be getting an email around then.

This email has no images for the afore-mentioned reason, so the cover reveal will be in next month’s newsletter. But for now, here’s a peek at the blurb (in-progress) and a link to preorder if you’re ready for it!

SKINNED, Blood Trails #16

Coming May 7, 2024

Being at the mercy of someone you’ve wronged is never good.

When they’ve had a hundred years to plan their revenge, it’s worse.

Scath is serving her first weregild, and to fulfill her duty, she’ll have to enter the world of muleskinners—skinwalker-adjacent magic users who rely on enchanted animal skins to access their magic. Two of them have been killed and their enchanted skins stolen within the past week, and the primal sidhe lord Baine has set Scath the task of finding the killer—with a few special conditions.

Condition one: no contacting the authorities. No Vanguard, no queen, no cops…and no Detective Sergeant Liam Osbourne.

Condition two: Scath is to hand over the killer—and the missing skins—to him.

Shade’s not about to let Scath face the weregild alone. Together they proceed with the investigation, each of them bracing themselves for the worst.

And both of them shocked when they find it.

All right, that's it for now! Expect a more beautiful newsletter next month ;)
