Book News! (Finallly!)

I was embarrassed to discover that I haven't posted in a year, almost to the day, for which I am extremely sorry. Sadly, there hasn't been much book news as life has given me plenty to deal with lately besides words on a page. But I finally have good news!

Dragon Heirs, a series about three royal dragon shifter brothers from the dragon realm who find themselves in the human realm, will soon be available. It's not that I'm writing faster, it's simply that I began writing this series in early 2023, and held the earlier volumes so I could release them close together, which is what some readers have told me they'd like. No more waiting a year to find out what happens next. 

What started out as a trilogy has now increased to four books, with the first two past editing, and the third one in the beta process. The fourth, which I only recently discovered I'd need, is in the drafting process. My hope is two release one every two or three months. 

The cover is from Ron Perry Graphic Design. Doesn't he do great work? 

Dragon Awakened, the first installment, is now up for preorder on Amazon, releasing June 27. Here's the blurb. 

Freedom, or a crown? What’s a dragon shifter to do?

Prince Elouan Thorne likes his life just fine. His destiny? Not so much. Becoming king is something he hopes to postpone—indefinitely. His choices vanish the day his uncle savagely murders his father, seizes the throne, and kills anyone daring to stand in his way.

Forced to flee to the human world, Elouan must discover his inner strength and awaken the alpha king within. But he can’t save his brothers, avenge his father, and rid Adrakus of an evil ruler alone. How can he find an omega mate to help him in Asheville, North Carolina?

The fate of the entire dragon realm rests in his reluctant talons.

And time is running out.

Dragon Heirs - Three brothers. Two choices. One destiny.

You can preorder Dragon Awakened on Amazon. The book will also be available on KU.

New Release: King's Warrior: Warriors Book 2

King's Warrior: Warriors Book 2 is now launched into the world! The sequel to Warrior King took longer than expected, but I hope the extra time makes for a better book for readers. 

One man is a king, the other a warrior. Commander Rufe Ferund, branded a traitor with a tattoo for all to see, must fight his way up the military ladder and restore his reputation. Does this include feeling worthy of the love of a king—even an enemy king? 

King Niam knows the Cormiran Empire has long wanted to take the kingdom of Delletina as its own, but he’ll only make a deal with a new emperor since the former ruler conspired to take the country by force. Cormirans are vile, or so Niam has been told. Then a handsome Cormiran soldier stumbles onto his lands, offering a chance to size up the enemy for himself—and he realizes Rufe might not be the contemptible barbarian Niam formerly believed Cormirans to be. 

 But could there be more between them? Could the fire they feel in their souls lead to something else beyond a mere dalliance? 

Traitors, court intrigue, and unseen dangers force the two closer together, while an old enemy hides in the shadows, ready to threaten Niam’s reign, and even their lives. 

Warrior King is now available on Amazon and KU. 

King's Warrior is Finally Here!

Due to circumstances beyond my control, the publish date for king's Warrior: Warriors Book 2, slipped, and slipped again, and I whole-heartedly apologize to all of you who were anxiously awaiting this book.

New Release: Immortal Sentry

 Immortal Sentry is finally here, the tale of a cursed gargoyle, a prince in disguise, swords and sorcery. 

Honor, redemption, destiny, and magic.

As captain of the king’s guard, Kerric should have laid down his life for the royal family. Now, the king and his heirs lie dead. Kerric deserves death, too, yet the court mage has another punishment in mind. For their failure on the fateful day an enemy invasion killed the king, Captain Kerric and his men will forever guard the castle as gargoyles, both as a curse and as a warning. His one chance for redemption is to put a rightful heir on the throne. How can that happen when there are no living heirs, and he’s encased in stone?

Eron doesn’t remember much about his time before being rescued by notorious highwayman Lord Night and taught to live the life of a noble by day and brigand by night. There’s much more to Lord Night than meets the eye and much more to Eron’s destiny than purses of gold and nightly conquests.

A mysterious mage appears, saying it’s time for Eron to return home, overthrow an evil usurper, and take his rightful place.

As king.

New Release- Lighting the Darkness - A Carnival of Mysteries Story
 

I've got a new release for you!

This year I participated in the multi-author project Carnival of Mysteries, and my offering is now available at Amazon and on KU. Lighting the Darkness is a side story to my recently released Darkness, but it can be read as a standalone. 

Only Light can balance Darkness.
 

Lio wakes in someone else’s battered body with plenty of questions but no answers. Who is he? Who are the strangers who rescued him? Why do they call him Tenebris and Darkness? And why does everyone treat him like a feral dog about to attack?

Bel Am’I’s home world of Domus died moments after his escape, trapping him in the human realm with a clear mission. As Light, he must prevent Darkness from destroying Terra and the Domusians who’ve escaped there. Failure will doom billions to certain death, but how can he locate and balance a single, hidden being who doesn’t want to be found?

A mysterious carnival unites Lio and Bel, who must work together to uncover Lio’s true identity and stop him from accidentally annihilating the world. Yet someone doesn’t want them to succeed, someone who will stop at nothing to achieve the total destruction of both realms—even pitting Light against Darkness.

The battle for the end begins…

Lighting the Darkness is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series and a side story to Eden Winters' Darkness. Each book includes at least one visit to Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it’s on, so each visit is unique and special. This book contains characters from Darkness as well as new ones, alternate realms, a twist on soul mates, and bad guys. I mean, evil, horrible, terrible guys. Definitely the type you wouldn’t bring home to Mother. And one cookie-baking demon.

Now available at Amazon and on KU!

 

All about the Carnival of Mysteries
 

I've told you a bit about the Carnival of Mysteries above, but this trailer might help. The multi-author project is in its second season, and there are currently twenty-five novels. Most are standalone, some are sequels, and some are like mine, which reference an author's previous work. 

Check here for a complete listing of novels by some of your favorite authors, and some new to you authors who might become more of your favorites. 

Season one was released last year and contains novels by L. A. Witt, Sara Ellis, Kayleigh Sky, Elizabeth Silver, EJ Russell, Rachel Langella, and TA Moore

Season two, which is in the process of releasing, has stories by Kim Fielding, Megan Derr, Liv Rancourt, BL Maxwell, Kaje Harper, Eden Winters, R.L. Merrill, Ander C. Lark, Nicole Dennis, Rachel Langella, Morgan Brice and ZA Maxfield. 

It's amazing to see all the different takes on this project. I'm definitely enjoying 

Stay tuned, as I'll soon have another preorder for you. 

Darkness - Now Available for Preorder

 I'm so proud to announce that the urban fantasy novel I've been working on for two years is finally up for preorder. 

Darkness follows Lieutenant Morrisey James.

As an Atlanta PD detective, Morrisey understands the worst atrocities the city has to offer—or believes he does. His recent cases present something new: a killer who unleashes unbridled terror in victims before moving in for the kill. Morrisey has an edge, though, the terrifying ability to gain flashes of insight from each victim.

Most people assume Farren Austin is a shallow, pretty boy, but he’s so much more. Agent Austin keeps secrets as part of the FBI’s Alternate Entities Task Force, a unit created to monitor travelers from another realm. Although they might look human, they’re anything but.

And they’ve taken a special interest in Morrisey.

Partnered with Farren, Morrisey finds himself in the middle of demons trying to possess his body, a succubus sidekick who wants to cook him breakfast, accusations of being a powerful destructive force, and a growing number of people calling him “Darkness.” Not to mention a sudden overwhelming attraction to his new partner.

It’s going to take the mysterious Farren’s help to keep the latest case from being Morrisey’s last.

Available for Preorder at Amazon
