ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK:
Stings and Stones is not available as an audiobook, so if you want to read the collection right now, you will have to order the ebook/print book. If Stings and Stones (and/or Spider and Frost) ever becomes available as an audiobook, I will share that info online. Thank you for reading.
ABOUT THE COLLECTION:
Stings and Stones is a 67,000-word collection of Elemental Assassin short stories. Some of the stories previously appeared here on my website, while others have been published in anthologies.
I have a lot of pages on my website, and I feel like many folks just didn’t see/find/read the short stories when they were first posted on my website back in the early 2010s. (The stories are no longer available on my website due to a variety of reasons).
Over the years, I’ve also gotten a lot of requests to bundle as many of the Elemental Assassin stories together as possible, so those are some of the reasons I am releasing the Stings and Stones short story collection. I hope everyone enjoys reading (or re-reading) the stories.
STINGS AND STONES DESCRIPTION:
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep serves up an Elemental Assassin short story collection featuring danger, magic, and a touch of romance. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Anne Bishop, Patricia Briggs, and Faith Hunter.
Flash back to one of Gin Blanco’s many missions as the assassin the Spider. Learn more about Gin’s relationships with her mentor, Fletcher Lane, and her foster brother, Finnegan Lane, and see what trouble the other characters get themselves into when Gin’s not around. From a ghost’s lost love to a villain’s origin story, this action-packed collection has something for every urban fantasy and paranormal romance fan.
The Stings and Stones collection features ten short stories told by various characters:
“Spider’s Bargain” — Gin Blanco
“Web of Death” — Gin Blanco

Kitty Boodle wants to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
As you can see, Boodle is yawning and ready for her afternoon nap in this photo. LOL.
Thanksgiving is my favorite weekend of the year. I love all the food, hanging out with Little Debbie, watching football and holiday rom-coms, putting up my holiday decorations, and taking lots of naps, just like Boodle.
I hope everyone has a good, safe holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for reading! 😎
Several folks have asked me to do another signed book campaign for the holiday season. The link below goes to a Google Form where you can order signed print books, along with foil bookmarks, coloring bookmarks, and notebooks:
If you are interested in ordering some books, please fill out all the info on the form — your name, email address, how you want the books signed, etc.
Note that this offer is for U.S. readers only, due to postage costs. However, I can send bookmarks to international readers. If you want to do that, please fill out the Comments section at the very bottom of the form.
Please order ASAP as I will be closing the form soon. Print copies of Stings and Stones will ship after the release date of Nov. 28.
