A very busy month

I love July. It’s the month I can just do what I want. The time is mine. I mean… I have some responsibilities, but much of the time is mine to do with as I please. August is a time of transitions. I must prepare to go back to school, both for me and my kids. I had the pleasure of reading some excellent books, and the stress of having new people read Traitor, book 4 of the Jade Stone Chronicles.

Okay, I need to clarify: it wasn’t bad stress, it was just that they were reading the book critically, and hadn’t read the first three books. It puts the series in an interesting light. In my round up last night, one of them really wants to go back and read the first three books, and, well, the next two books as well, she loved the characters, and the story arcs I began. They did have other things I need to work on, of course, but I have some time before the book comes out in December.

I’ve decided once again that I don’t love marketing, but that is the only way to get my book out into the hands of readers. It is a full time job outside of writing, and the one starting in September where I stand at the front of the classroom. This month I spent many hours learning about creating ads, making better ad copy, and other ins and outs of marketing. Some of the things I learned I don’t know if I agree with as much, but then again, they are the experts. It’s hard when you are told… when I am told… I’m doing it wrong.

In the end, it was a good month. Traitor, book 4, comes out in December. As always, there will be a book give away for people who join this website OR leave reviews for books read starting in September. Get going, friends! If you know people who may be interested in Wolf Healer, but have hesitated, it will be on a free promotional on September 21st through September 24th through the website iheartsappFic.

Cheers!

Books On Sale!!

Hi my friends! At the end of July I told you about my friend, Astrid, who was bringing you a month of book deals. Each week she presents a new collection of books at a discount. Well, we are here. August 17-24, all three of the Jade Stone Chronicles books will be on sale for $0.99. That’s right, you can pick up all my books for less than it normally costs to get a single book!

This is the time to get the books if you’ve been waiting for a deal. I don’t know that I’ll put all the books on sale, together, again. I just love the idea that my books are a back-to-school essential, and everyone should pick them up!

Cheers!

Wolf Healer

Although she trips over her own feet during gym class, Jade’s confident her academics are spot on to become the next healer for her parent’s werewolf pack. But when her best friend invites her to spring break in Florida, everything she thought she knew shatters.

Returning to Wisconsin, with carefully guarded secrets laid bare, Jade struggles to find acceptance. As the blows keep coming, she and her closest friends confront the packs intolerances.

Will she be able to hold the pieces of her shattering life together long enough to find a new path?

Epsilon

Over the summer, between sophomore and junior year, Jade and her werewolf pack family rescue Pebble, a five-year-old girl from the foster care system in Illinois. They worry, after her family was found dead by the side of the interstate, that they may have been attacked by a rogue werewolf. After bringing her home, small animals, and then people around town start to turn up dead.

Stolzburg has a rogue werewolf and the alphas have made it clear that Jade and friends need to stay safe. Just because Jade is avoiding the danger, doesn’t mean it’s avoiding her.

Alphas

As Jade rebuilds her life after last autumn’s trauma, Sarah decides joining track is the perfect distraction. While Jade’s figuring out how to compete without giving away her wereanimal status, Bevin finds someone nice he can date.

When summer begins, Jade travels cross country with José, Owen, and Tanner to visit colleges. A run-in with rogue werewolves triggers new epsilon abilities and an unlikely alliance develops. The question becomes: can she save her new ally or will she end up dead?

So Many Good Books!

I love to bring you good books! Today I have so many!

I am currently reading Blasted Research by Coffee Quills. I am almost half way through reading this gem of a book, and it is fantastic. Jules, our hero, lives in a dome in this post apocalyptical future. The premise of the story is excellent, but I also wanted to read this book because of the use of the neo-pronouns xe/xem, it intrigued me. In books 4 – 6 of Jade Stone I do introduce they/them characters, but his is so much more.

In the dome, everyone is required to marry and have kids. Jules doesn’t want to pair off. This is only one of the story arcs. Xe is also asked to travel out of the dome to help gather materials to test the radiation.

The story is fast paced, and the characters are fun. If you want to check out Coffee Quill, they have a website, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and so much more!

Another book I love just came out this month: Romancing Celia by Parker Love. It is the second book in this series. It is a sweet, sapphic, fade to black romance that takes place in the Wild West.

In this book, the characters take a path of discovery to learn who they are, and what they are willing to do to live the life they feel in their heart. In Ann’s case, she knows who she is and who she loves, but she also understands what happens if a community doesn’t approve. For Celia, it is a story of growth into the person she wants to be and learning who she loves.

The last book I want to feature is Wylding Snare by A. R. Grimes. I talked about this book before, but in case you missed that newsletter, it is a fun-filled high fantasy/portal fantasy that comes out in a few weeks! On September 10th, when it arrives to Amazon, I hope you’ll take a chance on it. The author, like me, spends a lot of time creating fun loving characters who you just can’t help but love.

As always, I, myself, have three books out in the Jade Stone Chronicles series. If you haven’t read them, I’d love for you to check them out. If you have read them, please drop a review, tell a friend, or share on social media! The fourth book, Traitor, comes out in December and is available to pre-order now. This year has been a whirlin of crazy… so exciting! I think you for your continued support.

Cheers!
