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.

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 Once a high achieving student, Win’s illness forces her to become withdrawn, losing many friends along the way.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?
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.
But the horrifying truth of his guardian’s death and disappearance of his friends leaves the grieving knight with no time to mourn. In search of answers, he ventures into the forbidden forest. There he discovers a portal leading to another world – and a girl who shares his faith and dreams.
The realm hangs in the balance as a mysterious enemy schemes to destroy it, but not all peril comes from the outside. Enoch himself harbors a secret that could destroy all he loves…
If you enjoy portal fantasy and adventure, then you’ll love Wyldling Snare, the first installment of the Wyldling Dream series – a coming of age story with underlying themes of faith, friendship, and found family.
