Beginner's Luck: An Urban Fantasy Adventure (The Forsaken Mage Book 1) Read online

  “Can you tell us more of the story when you come back?” a young girl with bright red hair who reminded me almost painfully of Zorah said as she nearly jumped up and down with excitement. “I want to hear about Princess and make sure she’s okay.”

  I smiled fondly, and my eyes might’ve misted up a bit. “Well, I can tell you that she’s perfectly fine,” I said. “But that’s not much fun by itself, is it? So yeah. Tomorrow night, I’ll tell you all about Princess, and why there are no Collectors in the city anymore.”

  The small but boisterous crowd actually cheered.

  As I stood from the stool and stretched, Brandi grabbed my hand and leaned in close. “Hey, Seth, what are you doing later tonight?” she whispered. “I get off work at eleven, and I’ve got a place nearby. Right around the corner. Maybe you could come over for a while, and we could … have a little fun?”

  That sounded good to me, except I had a better idea. “Tell you what,” I said. “Why don’t you head over to Moonlight Gardens when your shift is over? I should be there by then. Just go straight up to the penthouse.”

  “The penthouse?” she squealed. “Oh, I am so gonna be there!”

  I grabbed the shot glass from the bar counter and tossed back the rest of my fourth tumbler of Scotch, then said my goodbyes as I headed for the door. When Golar contacted me, he said he’d found something huge, something I’d be extremely interested in, and I couldn’t wait to find out what it was. And now I even had someone to look forward to after the meeting.

  I might’ve been gone for too long, but it was good to be back.

  Thank You for reading!

  Author’s Note

  Dear reader, if you REALLY want to read the next Forsaken Mage novel- I’ve got a bit of bad news for you.

  Unfortunately, Amazon will not tell you when the next comes out.

  You’ll probably never know about my next books, and you’ll be left wondering what happened to Seth and the gang. That’s rather terrible.

  There is good news though! There are three ways you can find out when the next book is published:

  1) You join my mailing list by clicking here.

  2) You follow me on my Facebook page or join my Facebook Group. I always announce my new books in both those places as well as interact with fans.

  3) You follow me on Amazon. You can do this by going to the store page (or clicking this link) and clicking on the Follow button that is under the author picture on the left side.

  If you follow me, Amazon will send you an email when I publish a book. You’ll just have to make sure you check the emails they send.

  Doing any of these, or all three for best results, will ensure you find out about my next book when it is published.

  If you don’t, Amazon will never tell you about my next release. Please take a few seconds to do one of these so that you’ll be able to join Seth and the gang on their next adventure.
