PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
David R. Slayton grew up in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where finding fantasy novels was pretty challenging and finding fantasy novels with diverse characters was downright impossible. Now he lives in Denver, Colorado, with his partner, Brian, and writes the books he always wanted to read. White Trash Warlock, Slayton's first novel, is the first book in the Adam Binder series. In 2015, David founded Trick or Read, an annual initiative to give out books along with candy to children on Halloween as well as uplift lesser-known authors or those from marginalized backgrounds.

Deadbeat Druid, the third installment of the Adam Binder trilogy, is a beautifully nuanced exploration of family and generational trauma that's filled with heartache, magic, and a lot of love. I'm pretty sure David R. Slayton is a magician in his own right, because I am utterly enchanted by this series. -- Shaun David Hutchinson, author of We Are the Ants, Before We Disappear, and Howl With Deadbeat Druid, David R. Slayton once again delivers magical action that's as hard and gritty as trailer-park gravel, coupled with a heart-wrenching tale of characters bound by a love greater than Death and stronger than the chains of Hell. It's a triumphantly subversive marriage of Americana and the occult, and a shining example of all that is fresh and exciting in the urban-fantasy genre. -- David Mack, New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Arts series With his Adam Binder books, David R. Slayton crafts complex characters and creates an imaginative urban fantasy world that readers will want to return to time and time again. Slayton mixes vivid fantasy descriptions and life-or-death stakes with characters that are full of heroics, humor, and heartache. -- Jennifer Estep, New York Times bestselling author of the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series
