Let’s Make a Deal!

Hi my friends! It’s August, schools are starting up, and I want to do a back to school deal. I actually have TWO deals for you in this newsletter!

Okay, first of all, I have a new cover for Wolf Healer. I’ll reveal it… soon. Probably when the audiobook comes out. I’ve been listening to the chapters, and y’all, I’m SO excited! I can’t even tell you. It will be fantastic!

So, what’s my good news? With my new cover, I have a stash of paperback books with the old cover. Get a signed copy of Wolf Healer, with the OG cover mailed to you for $17. This offer is good to anyone who lives in the continental US. You can find the deal on the home page of my website. Here!

As always, you can order all of my books, signed, at any time… here.

But I did mention TWO great deals. Check out this amazing book, FREE right now! The Vessel Games, by E.J. Eden is free from the 16th of August through the 20th. The second book comes out on the 16th. The book is a cross between the Hunger Games and The Handmaid’s Tale. Interested? You should be!

I will warn you, the book DOES come with a few warnings…

Did you see me mention the audiobook? Are you as excited as I am? And the Christmas novella… the cover is ALMOST done. I’ll let you see both the new Wolf Healer cover and that cover in the next newsletter.

Fragments: The Revelation by Chris Cole

When Jake West goes on a first date with Jordan Bailey, sparks fly—both figuratively and literally, as an explosion rocks the restaurant. However, Jordan controls the blast, eyes aflame as he saves their lives.

But Jordan is not alone. There are others like him, some who want to preserve the planet using the power of the elements—The Keepers—and some who want to be recognized and appreciated for the power they—The Disciples. And for some reason, the Disciples are very focused on making sure Jake doesn’t see the light of another day.

Soon, Jake is caught in the middle of a war, Jordan’s dark past, and the race to find the greatest power of all—control over all the elements.

Caged Butterfly by Raven O’Shay

“Let me out of this cage!” I raged and rattled the bars.

I can’t believe I got caught after a short-lived taste of freedom from my royal duties of palace life.

My captors have a hidden agenda to annihilate my home. I must fight… too bad my Fae shifter power only turns me into a kaleidoscope of butterflies. SO not intimidating.

I find help from some unpredictable sources, and my heart flutters at the sight of one strong man.

We watch desperately as the armies start marching towards my forest.

On one hand, I am free with a budding love forming; on the other, the destruction of my Fae colony.

Can I warn my family in time to prevent a war? Will I find my own happy ending before my wings are plucked?

Flowerface – Christiana Matthews

Hell hath no fury like a goddess scorned.

Born of flowers and magic, Blodeuedd is tied to Lleu, the sun-god, in an eternal marriage. Even when she meets a mortal man who shows her the meaning of true love, she remains faithful to her husband.

Soon, however, she discovers that not just her marriage but her entire life has been built on lies and secrets. She was created, not to love Lleu, but as a pawn in his callous game.

Fighting for vengeance as well as for survival, Blodeuedd seeks to protect herself and those she loves from the machinations of her husband and his family. The question is…how can a mere vegetation goddess triumph against the powerful Summer King?

A tale of myth and magic, Flowerface springs from ancient roots in the Welsh Mabinogion. It is intended for an adult audience.

It’s a Battle!

It’s finally July! I spent two weeks traveling from Paris to London, then over to Edinburgh and ending in Dublin, Ireland. The trip was amazing!

Battlefield, the last book in the Jade Stone Chronicle’s comes on out the 21st! Are you as excited as I am? You can pre-order eBooks today and make sure you get that last book right away.

It’s Jade and Bevin’s senior year. The Dynasty wolves don’t want their pack anywhere near them. The battle is on. Can Jade make friends when every friend she makes could be marked by the other wolves as a target in their war?

I have copies of the book! If you want to purchase a book early and live in the continental US, jump on over to the page of my website and order one up. You’ll get a signed copy before the book is officially out!

The Lost Heir of Isla – Lyssa Lund

In a world where power and influence rule all, my father was a leader among leaders. As the head advisor to the realms of Isla, he held the fate of our world in his hands. But everything changed when the ruthless and evil Dominic Jull attacked, killing my father and his closest advisors in a brutal strike on the capitol.

Born into a legacy of power and strength, I should have been next in line to take my father’s place. But there was one small problem: I was born a girl. In a society where only men are deemed worthy of leadership, I was marked as an unfit offspring and cast aside.

When my best friend Terron and I are forced to go on the run from the dictator who killed our parents I discover that my destiny may be more than I ever could have imagined. As my 19th birthday approaches and the hunters close in, I must unlock the secrets of my hidden powers and fight for survival in a world where only the strong survive.

Legacy Bound – Elizabeth Daly

Mages bound to the Queen want free of their bindings, whilst those found unbound are put to death. Rebellion is in the air.

Isobel, an empath, hides in plain sight, dreading the day they will come for her. Older sister to William, she has spent her life protecting him while searching for a cure to the demonic corruption that will eventually consume him.

Looking for redemption, former soldier, William, has turned to the Light, renouncing his violent ways. If he doesn’t, he risks losing the battle raging inside him and fears the consequences of that happening to those he loves.

Youngest grandson of the Queen, free spirited Prince Marcus cavorts throughout the empire, determined to enjoy his remaining moments, and with one year left, his time runs short. But when he meets Isobel, Marcus discovers there is more to life than indulging every whim and fancy.

Not knowing friend from foe, and with the repercussions of their actions closing in, Isobel, Marcus and William find themselves on the run whilst trying to stop an uprising that could shatter the empire.

Can they succeed and break free of the shackles of their past, or will they be forever bound to it?

Nothing Romantic – Kennedy Hope

  • This is not YA – has some spice!

Arthur’s promotion at work causes a rift with his long-time girlfriend. After she betrays him, he relocates to Chicago, where he meets Jay: secure, handsome, and light-hearted. Arthur begins to wonder if there could be more to his budding friendship than just friends. But he’s straight…right? When Jay meets Arthur, he gains a gym buddy and someone to help him navigate interviews in the corporate world. Jay thinks he must ignore his growing attraction in order to preserve their friendship.

It’s Always a Battle!

Do you want an early copy of Battlefield?

When Alphas came out I tried to find ARC readers – advance readers for the book. I didn’t find many people who wanted to jump in a book three of a series. Well, now book six is coming out, and where I’ve gotten several ratings for book five, I’ve only received two reviews. So, I decided to put out a call for ARC readers for Battlefield.

If you’d like to be part of my ARC team, fill in the form in the link below. You’ll get the book this week.

David’s life is hollow after his grandmother passes away. He becomes isolated, and though he finds joy in his various pursuits, he misses a crucial part of living–the true closeness that can come only with a real, genuine friendship.

Sara has come alone into Belfast, Maine, escaping from a past that torments her. Her cheery disposition and quick smile lead her to form an easy, sincere friendship with David, as they find in each other what they have lacked throughout their lives: Someone they can trust.

But will their trust survive Sara’s many secrets?

Skyfall is dying, the land destroyed during a supernatural war. Those who had protected it, the lost immortals, have gone missing and the land has decayed beyond redemption unless their magic can restore it. Armed with a mysterious talisman Moira, Airi, and Bel must find a journal left by the twins’ dead mother that will tell them how to find and free the Immortals known as The Unknown Sun.

Deeper, darker, secrets unravel around them when the journal reveals shocking information…because everything has a price and the price just might be Moira.

Chaos and Other Fun

April has been exciting! I’ve been doing a lot of writing. I traveled to a bookstore, and, hmm, what else, ah, Pack came out! I want to thank you all for all your support. Pack has been in the top 100 for Teen and Young Adult LGBTQ+ Fiction on Amazon since it came out on April 14th.

There are some big name book in that category, so bopping around the top 100 is fantastic! I’ve even, as of this post, picked up 14 ratings and 1 review. If you’ve read the book and would be willing to give it a review, that would warm my heart! Help convince me to try to get Battlefield out sooner than August 17th.

Last month, Battlefield was submitted to my critique group. They gave me some great ideas to make the book better. I’ll be reading through the book and making changes next week and hopefully getting the manuscript to my editor the following week.

My cats seem to enjoy my sitting on the computer getting these books written and cleaned up.

I’ve joined a website that is doing a HUGE giveaway.

Jae – a big author in the industry, has gathered 36 authors who are part of this giveaway. That is a LOT of opportunity to win. Just click here, and you enter to win!

If you’re all caught up with the Jade Stone Chronicles, why not check out one of these fantastic reads?

Wild Spirit – Victoria Wren

Struck down with a mystery illness, sixteen-year-old Win Adler’s life in Boston is shattered. Once a high achieving student, Win’s illness forces her to become withdrawn, losing many friends along the way. When doctors can’t find a cure, her father’s last hope of recovery is to take her home to Hickory House, her mother’s ancestral home in the woods in the old colonial town of Cedar Wood. A fresh start in a new town, a new school where no one knows her past, plus a cute neighbor across the woods…life should get better, right? Living with her Grandpa and older sister in a quaint town should be ideal, but Win soon discovers she lives at the heart of an old town ghost story, a tale of witchcraft and tragedy. And Win learns that her family is unusual, and have some rather interesting secrets.
Someone is watching the house, a mysterious hunter, someone who knows her family’s dark secrets, and as Win starts to change in more ways than one, she must uncover the truth about this man, and what he wants from her. She is getting stronger and faster as she learns more about her family’s strange curse. All Win wants to do is settle into her new life, but on the night of Luke Fraser’s bonfire, the party quickly gets out of control, and Win must use her new talents to help her friends and get them to safety. She must unearth the secrets of her past to survive the fight of her life before she runs out of time.

Wolf Summoned – Michelle Areaux

It only took one moment to change my life forever.

After being shipped off to spend my entire summer with my great aunt, I am finally returning to my home in small-town, Nicholasville. I’ve missed my best friend, Maddox, like crazy and have dreamed of having my normal life back. Only, my return wasn’t as welcome as I had expected—or normal.

Fate seems to have a strange sense of humor. Not only am I dealing with becoming a shifter, but ow, a beautiful, dark-haired boy with almost supernatural-like qualities is drawing me in against my own will and causing me to question everything I’ve ever known.

Cole.

No matter how hard we try to fight it, there is this uncanny connection between us. I fear he may learn my secret that not only am I a shifter, but that I’m caught in the middle of an ages-old war between shifters and hunters.
Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to saving my own kind, the more destruction seems to spark around me. Maddox senses it, too, and wants me to chose between Cole and my loyalty with my pack.

How can I be forced to choose between my best friend and boyfriend? How can I solve the destruction of shifters?

Wyldling Snare – A.R. Grimes

He’s determined to reconcile his duty with his dreams. But will a secret destiny ensnare him first?

Apprentice knight Enoch Northward isn’t ready to lead. But when he returns home to find his mentor dead and the heir-apparent missing, he knows he must rise to the challenge.

On A Wing

It takes a dragon to find a dragon. Fellow author, A.R. Grimes and I, climbed onto the back of our trusted green dragon and flew far east and north in Menomonie, Wisconsin to visit Dragon Tale Book, a new bookstore near UW-Stout.

On the way up, hunger overtook us, and we stopped at a Monday’s Café and Deli where waitress Kamryn assured our trip was fun, beautiful, as well as delicious!

Kamryn

Chief Dragon-rider Ann Vogl met us as the bookstore and showed us around a main room with a large dragon tail overseeing the books. The store is welcoming. It had a steady stream of people coming in, including several regulars. The store has more than books, it displays local art, hosts book clubs, as well as other events. It’s a gem that I heard at least one family said was a reason they’d select UW-Stout as their college of choice!

After setting up, A.R. Grimes and I even found a few hidden notes around the bookstore, a scavenger hunt they’ve provided for even more fun!

This bookstore is absolutely a place you should visit!!

In personal news, Pack topped the Amazon Teen & Young Adult LGBTQ+ Fiction New Release for three days. I was over the moon. It’s still in the top three five days later! I thank you all for making my book so successful!

There are, as of writing the newsletter, nine ratings. I’m so excited to see the first few reviews come in! I’m wondering what y’all have to say about my book!

I’m working on Book 6, Battlefield. It’s scheduled to come out in August, but if I can, I will get it out early. I just got the cover in, and I’ll show you now what the artists created. It’s fantastic!

If you’ve read books 1 – 5, and need a recommendation, I have a few (as always). Here you go!

Here is a list of free books, if you’ll sign up for a newsletter: https://books.bookfunnel.com/fantasyheroines/7uc35okd31
