cycling: stupid bike

Yesterday the chain fell off my bike again (it does this all the time) and today it's clonking and chonking and clicking as I cycle. I know it's a cheap bike, for Christ's sake, but how hard is it for a cheap bike to do its damn job. I guess I'm bringing it back to the shop to see if they can figure it out, but this is really frustrating

What's even more frustrating is that most of the time the place behind a gate and under a roof isn't easily available at work when I arrive, so I don't even WANT a nicer bike because this one is likely to end up in the rain and possibly stolen. I just want my cheap bike to WORK.

It's re-release day for RAVEN CALLS! (amazon affiliate link)

I'm beginning to feel the enthusiasm of the downward slide here: there are only four Walker Papers left to release after this, and I'm so excited to have the series out in the world again. I've just sent in the cover specs for NO DOMINION, and it's just so cool to see the series come together with the same cover model and everything across the whole thing. ::starry eyes::



The cover to CE Murphy's RAVEN CALLS, book eight of the Walker Papers urban fantasy series, features heroine Joanne Walker in a dramatic Irish setting, with a castle and a golden glowing sky in the distance. She holds her rapier horizontally in both hands, as if offering it to someone. A glowing blue magical raven fills the sky above her shoulder. Cover art and design by G&S Cover Design Studio.

After a year of adjusting to having shamanic powers, Joanne Walker has leveled up—and now she’s got to start all over again. She’s more open to the idea now, but it means throwing caution to the wind.

Caution, and her job, and her potential relationship with her former boss...and possibly any hope for a future tied to a timeline she recognizes at all. Determined to heal herself of a magically-inflicted injury, Joanne returns to her ancestral homeland—and when she activates her newly-increased powers, Ireland’s ancient, deep magic rips her out of time and into a history of regrets and unfinished business.

The aos sí of Irish legend—the fair folk, gods, and heroes of old—have paid the price of tangling with a dark power who stands against everything Joanne has ever believed in...and her ability to protect them is stymied by what she’s already done to save others. As the consequences of her actions begin to build up, Joanne is faced with two impossible choices—and loses her beloved best friend Gary to one, leaving her to face the other alone.

And as dark magic devours her from within, Joanne must risk everything to destroy the monster that haunts her—or fight the gods themselves to save it.



RAVEN CALLS is available in e-book at Amazon and in print at Barnes & Noble!
