Stolen Hearts (cover)

Mervyn is accustomed to the unusual and strange. People of all walks come to him with problems that only magic can solve. A wizard of no little skill, he enjoys the challenges that come with his job and that he can offer help to people who have nowhere else to go. Even fairies, long abused by wizards for the special energy they can provide, find their way to his door.

But when Callisto, a terrified and maliciously attacked fairy, shows up to ask for his help, he presents a challenge that even Mervyn has never encountered before—instead of a heart, Callisto has only an inadequate charm—a charm that will kill him in a matter of days if Mervyn does not find a solution.

They are aware of this bug and are working to fix it, but they cannot give an estimate of when notifications will resume. Unfortunately, this means that if your subscription payment to LT3 fails three times, your subscription is then canceled with no email warning.

When a subscription payment made through PayPal fails, they automatically try again after three days. If the second attempt fails, they again try three days later. If the third payment fails, the subscription is canceled.

More unfortunate news: there is no way for us to reset accounts to the previous subscription rate of $2.95. If your subscription is canceled, you will have to subscribe at the new rate of $3.25. Until this bug is fixed on PayPal’s end, we advise you to keep an eye on your subscription to make sure your payments are going through correctly.

Also, a reminder—If you need to set up a new credit card for your subscription, make certain the new credit card is in place before you delete your old card from PayPal. For details on how to switch the card used for your subscription, see the FAQ.

As always, thank you for your patience and for all your support!

Gulf Oil Spill Fund
LT3 is donating $2 from every purchase of Dire Straits, a new ebook from Megan Derr, to the Gulf Oil Spill Fund put together by the Greater New Orleans Foundation. To learn more about the Gulf Oil Spill Fund and the Greater New Orleans Foundation, click the image below.

Less than a century ago, the world was a dangerous place. Monsters ran wild, and the only thing more dangerous was the humans attempting to control them. The chaotic lands were eventually tamed by a group of people who came to be known as the Crown, and they formed a government that helped to maintain peace in the untamed lands.

Bannick Poore is one such maintainer of peace, an infamous Priest with guns at his hips and a blood red collar around his throat. He is equal parts mage and gunslinger, and it is his sworn duty to uphold the law and drive back the monsters that still crop up in a land that is still learning to be civilized…

New ebook: Midsummer Law by Megan Derr
Stop by our ebook market to scope our latest ebook, Midsummer Law by Megan Derr. This book is the third in Derr’s Midsummer series, so be sure to check out Midsummer Moon and Midsummer Curse.

Midsummer Law (cover)

Being Sheriff is a hard job, even in a town like Midsummer. The law is the law, and when magic is thrown into the mix, everything gets more complicated. Kirby is lonely and worn out, and his latest unpleasant duty is contacting the brother of a recent suicide. Given the complications surrounding the tragedy, and just how loathed the deceased man was in Midsummer, meeting his brother is not something Kirby is any hurry to do.

But when he arrives, Merry is nothing like his deceased brother—nothing like anything Kirby has seen in a long time, and quite possibly a reason to feel things Kirby thought he’d never feel again.
