Today we are welcoming Yolanda Sfetsos who is here today to introduce us to A PATCH OF DARKNESS, the first in her new Sierra Fox urban fantasy series (available on May 15, 2012 from Samhain Publishing). Her new series is set in a world where everyone accepts ghosts as being real and her heroine, Sierra Fox, works as a rogue spook catcher.

 

Living with Spirits

Yolanda Sfetsos

Hi, everyone! I want to thank All Things Urban Fantasy for having me here today. :)

My name is Yolanda Sfetsos and I have a new urban fantasy series coming out from Samhain Publishing. Well, the first book, which is called A Patch of Darkness, is coming out this month.

Sierra Fox is a spook catcher. Actually, she lives in a world very similar to ours... with the exception of ghosts being accepted as part of society. Most of the time, living in her world isn't that much different to ours because most people can't actually see these wandering spirits, but they can feel cold spots and sense if an invisible presence is nearby.
