Sleight of Hand
Quotes from the Book
My paranoia wasn't always right, but just to be on the safe side, I never went to sleep with a clown in the room.
Only people you trust can ever really betray you, Amber.
Use a flamethrower to shed a little light on what you got in the ammo store, why dontcha?
I knew I’d been betrayed. I just wasn’t sure who and how many times.
Are you…” “Lovers? Yes, occasionally,” Diana said calmly. I blushed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize. Are you mad at me?” “Why? Am I jealous? No. I love the butterfly. That doesn’t make me jealous of the flowers.
The remaining half-hour of the drive passed quite peacefully for me, and it’s a pretty drive along I-70 and the Evergreen Parkway, if you don’t have a towel taped over your face.

About the book
“I knew I was going to be betrayed this week.”
Amber Farrell, Denver PI, is coming to terms with being part of the paranormal community, but she’s about to find that includes very dangerous responsibilities for her. Nothing is quite what it seems, least of all, Amber herself, and to survive, she must form alliances with powerful groups whose interests are in conflict. But she knows she’s expendable and betrayal is inevitable.
Denver is hosting a meeting of the opposing Athanate creeds who are stirring after a hundred years of peace. War between them would be disastrous for everyone, human and paranormal, and it’s Amber who’s being blamed for the troubles in the run-up to the Assembly.
And it’s going to get very personal…
