A Wild Ride

Flying high over the overheated state of Wisconsin, my author friend, A.R. Grimes and I went on another adventure. We’ve been on a few this summer, and I’ve been remiss in telling you about them, but let me stay focused.

Last weekend, she and I uncurled the wings of my trusted phoenix, and flew to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I know, you’ve heard tail of said destination before, a humble bookstore, WordHaven Bookhouse.

We ended up stopping at Superior Bar and Grill for Lunch, I believe my Phoenix believed it was a home away from home with the fiery exterior.

Inside, we met the crew of miniature dragons and leprechauns, who quickly fed us fried cheese and breaded meats. All rather taste, if I do say so myself. We even found the leprechauns pot of… well, not gold, but silver!

Once done, we found our way to the bookshop and set up our books. We met many a nice person, signed books, and discussed our publishing ways.

If you want a published book, they are still on sale, only from the home page, and only for a limited time. If you ask nicely in the box where you tell me who you want the book signed to, I’ll throw in A FREE CODE TO THE AUDIO BOOK!!! This is a VERY limited time offer. And it only goes out to those lovely people in my newsletter.

Wait! Did you read that right? The AUDIOBOOK is available?? It is, my friends, it is!

It went live in a location (including B&N) on August 25th. But you can get a free code from me with a purchase of a book from my website. This Labor Day offer is good until September 4th.

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.

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?

Great News!

Book 5, Pack, is coming three weeks early! I know! Right! Okay, enough of that excitement. For those of you who’ve read the first four books, in book five, it’s summer break, and Bevin and José are getting married. Jade believes her only job is to take the summer off, and help with the plans. When a job lands in her lap, her alphas reluctantly agree it’s worth pursuing.

So, Pack is coming out on April 14th. That still leaves us with a couple of weeks. What should we do in that time? No worries, I’ve collected some amazing books that you can look at. Here are six books. Four are ya, just like the Jade Stone Chronicles. Two are a bit spicier, as I don’t know if some of you like a bit of romance in what you read. One is a new series just out. And the other is in Kindle Vella. I hope you enjoy!
