Zoraida Grey Trilogy On Sale Now!

Greetings! My name is Sorchia DuBois and I write urban fantasy, mystery, and romantic suspense books. I’ve just finished the last in a witchy trilogy and wanted to let you know that I’m having a Witchin’ Winter Sale. Get the entire trilogy for 99 Cents for each book. The sale ends on January 22. Check out the current sale on my website, Sorchia’s Universe, and sign up for my newsletter to get updates on new releases.

I’ve added an excerpt from Zoraida Grey but I also wanted to tell you about coming attractions.

I’m working on a new trilogy and hoping to release at least two of them in 2021. The work in progress is a small-town murder mystery series set in –surprise—a small town in Missouri.

When a routine burglary goes tragically wrong, Money MacQueen heads for the only safe place she knows–Home. But her hometown isn’t as quiet and secure as she remembers. Prominent townspeople keep turning up dead and her own dad may be on the killer’s list. Did she bring trouble home with her or has her crazy Scottish uncle finally gone too far? Old loves, new enemies, and a murderer haunt the familiar streets. Money must confront her own bad decisions before she can help the people she loves.

Working titles are All the Pretty Knives, Birds of a Feather, and Corked. I’ve already learned a lot as I research for this trilogy—how to launder money, how to make a fortune selling illegal weapons (Yes, I am probably now on an FBI list), and where to stab someone if you don’t want them to have time to scream.

The new series is a change of pace from the urban fantasy with gothic overtones that Zoraida Grey involves. And speaking of Zoraida Grey, here’s an excerpt from Zoraida Grey and the Voodoo Queen.

About Zoraida Grey Trilogy:

How many Scottish witches does it take to destroy one small-town fortune teller?

The Zoraida Grey trilogy follows Zoraida from Arkansas to Scotland on a quest to retrieve a healing stone to save her granny’s life. But Granny hasn’t told her everything. Soon Zoraida is smack dab in the middle of a witchy clan war and in danger of being ensorcelled by not one but two smoking hot witches. The truth of her own heritage is buried deep beneath Castle Logan, but the only one who can help her has stepped in a steaming pile of Voodoo thousand of miles away in the Caribbean. Zoraida must decide between her old, safe life or a new one filled with magic and danger.

Excerpt from Zoraida Grey and the Voodoo Queen:

Her dry, cool hand on my arm guides me through the store, steadies me when I trip on uneven boards, pulls me through the blue-curtained doorway. Red lips blow sparkling powder from long, elegant fingers. The particles hang in the air, spinning and swirling. I inhale instinctively.

My knees give way and down I sink. Down onto the red velvet chair. Past the weathered floorboards, down into the silt and mud of the Delta. Down to the center of the earth. Satin folds of mesmerizing ensorcellment coil around my shoulders, pulling me deeper still into the space between time. Reality wastes to silence.

“Don’ fight, my girl. You can’t do it. Let it take you,” she whispers. We face each other, sitting in matching red velvet chairs. Our knees touch. She holds my hands, massaging my palms with her broad thumbs.

Fresh sweat pops out on my forehead. The powdered drug slows my heart, my breathing, my mind. Each second stretches into infinity. Colors spiral around a green face. My eyelids weigh fifty pounds each. I yield to the irresistible need to let them slam shut. Cigarette smoke on her breath. A cold hand on my forehead. I’m helpless, bound, and sedated.

This won’t do.

My toes dig deep into the rich Mississippi silt and curl around the bones of the earth. Ancient, patient life grounds me, reminds me who I am. A molecule at a time, I transmute the drug to saline, a trick I did not learn in high school chemistry. A trick I didn’t know I could do. The effort leaves me gasping but my mind is once again my own. I open my eyes.

“You got de juju in you, bébé.” Azili laughs, red lips wide, teeth white. Her coils tighten. “But I got de juju in me, too.”

This time, I can’t keep her out. Like rising floodwaters, she seeps into every corner. A scream gurgles in my throat and dies.
