It’s 2024!

Hi my friends! I am beyond excited for the new year. The end of 2023 was a bit rough. That said, I can’t believe the last of the Jade Stone Chronicles came out!

Did any of you read the short story? What did you think? I’d love to hear back from you.

I’m about to start writing the last of the phoenix books. It will be a trilogy. I don’t know that I’ll write more in that world, but at the start, Wolf Healer was a stand alone, so, we’ll see.

BIG NEWS!!!

Today, January 1st, for one day only, there is a HUGE FREE EBOOK EVENT. You may know of the free romance event, but this is different, it’s fantasy book. Moreover, you do NOT need to join a newsletter to get the books. All these books have been set to free on TODAY! Check it out!

Most of you have read Wolf Healer, but that’s the book I’ve submitted. That said, there are many other books you can find!

Check out the link, here (or many places above).

As a reminder, if you want to come meet me and maybe check out some of my other books, get something signed, in a couple of weeks I’ll be at Studio Moonfall in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is an absolutely lovely bookstore everyone should check out. Not only does it have great books and book stuff, it supports so many authors and author events!

Lastly, if you want to join the ARC (advanced reader copy) team for Veiled Phoenix, the first of the phoenix shifter series, sign up here. I don’t think I’ll be ready to publish for a few months, but of course, y’all will be the first to know!

Cheers!

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.

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.

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?

When Jay meets Arthur, he gains a gym buddy and someone to help him navigate interviews in the corporate world.

February

As a friend said, we are in a month of Mondays! Some love this month, but here in Wisconsin it is cold and snowy. It is a month to survive. I have several friends, and a mom, with a birthday this month – HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL – but it’s still a rough twenty-eight days.

I’ve been spending the month having Pack edited. It’s scheduled to come out on May 8th. I may release it early if everything comes together. The cover is almost ready to share; expect that in the next newsletter. Then Battlefield will publish on August 17th.

There’s a question out about a series for Pebble. The jury is still out. If I decide to write that series, it won’t be in 2023.

I published a short steampunk story, The Search. Amazon put it under forty-five minute reads. I’m excited about this story, and hope you look into it.

If you’ve caught up on all of the above, then what’s left for you to discover? You know I won’t leave you without anything to read. See below for three excellent books to add to your collection! I’ve personally read Wyldling Snare and Legacy Bound and can tell you they are excellent. As for Butter, Sugar, Magic, I hear her characters almost eat as much as mine, so don’t read hungry!

Thanks for joining me once again!

Apprentice knight Enoch Northward returns home from a festival to find the Baron-Knight of the Northern Marches dead, the heir-apparent missing, and himself expected to rule in their stead. While he grieves the loss of his beloved guardian, Enoch is determined to prove his ability to lead despite his incomplete training. But he struggles to follow in such large footsteps. A search for missing people draws him into the forbidden Darkenwood Forest, where he discovers a path to another world… and a secret within himself that may destroy everything he loves.

Wyldling Snare—a young adult portal fantasy and the first installment of the Wyldling Dream series—is a coming of age story with underlying themes of faith, friendship, and found family.

Butter, Sugar, Magic – Jessica Rosenberg

Midlife transformation has never been more magical or delicious.

When Cassie inherits a fully stocked bakery along with a beautifully furnished apartment from a mysterious great aunt, she’s convinced she must be dreaming.

Things like this don’t happen to 40-year-old newly single moms down on their luck.

Then again, apartments don’t usually adapt themselves to your desires and friendly neighbors don’t usually tell you you’re a witch as they float fireballs in the air.

Cassie has two choices. She can hightail it out of this bewildering town and figure out another way to support her pre-teen daughter. Or she can stay in this unsettling place and embrace the unexpected.

Will she have what it takes to bake up a magical fresh start, or is this all just too far out of her comfort zone?

Butter Sugar Magic is the first book in the delicious new Baking Up a Magical Midlife Paranormal Women’s Fiction series by Jessica Rosenberg.

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.

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

Fun Promotions!

November is going to be an interesting month. For those of you who are not writers, there is a national writing thing called nanowrimo, or NaNoWriMo, or national novel writing month. It is where writers challenge themselves to write 50k… that is 50,000 words, in the form of a novel, in the month of November.

It’s fun!

Really…

Anyway, I’m penning (well typing) a new book. The title? Veiled Phoenix. Totally new. If everything goes as planned, maybe it will be published next year after all of Jade Stone Chronicles is out. So far the book has 3000 words to it, so, not quite done. Wolf Healer is about 90k…

But that isn’t what I’m here to talk about. I’ve joined a couple of book promotions this month… maybe even a few! One of them is promoting books on Kindle Unlimited. Here is the link: LINK!!!! As you see, all three of my books are on there. If you all could share the link, that would be AMAZING!

I’ll tell you about the other promotion in a few weeks. Hope your November is starting off amazing!

Cheers!

Time is a Traitor…

Back in 2019 I decided I wanted to try to write a book. I had no idea what I was getting into. I’m not sure anyone who decides to write does. Being a teacher, I spend most of my time in front of students, and not in front of a computer.

Taking words and stories from your imagination, to a published book that strangers (insert freak out here) can and will read, takes a lot more than I knew back all those years ago. If you want to know the steps, let me know, I’ve written some about the process, and am more than willing to share more.

But that isn’t what I want to talk about, what I want to discuss is the fourth book in the Jade Stone Chronicles, Traitor, it comes out this December, one year after Wolf healer came out. I’ve been meaning to tell you all about it, but time has been slipping by me like a kid sliding down a water slide!

I am very excited about this latest book…I hope you are as well. Jade and friends are in college, a new pack has been created, and they’ve moved to California! Only fun can happen from there! If you aren’t caught up on the first three books, see the links below. If you are, tell a friend!

Cheers!

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 parents’ werewolf pack. But when her best friend invites her to spring break in Florida, everything she thought she knew shatters.

After 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?

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.

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?
