The Story Ends on December 8th, 2025

Given that title, I now need to specify that this is a book release announcement, not a call to arms. What a world we live in… *cue me sitting in silence for a full 5 minutes, trying to get my brain back on track and figure out what I actually want to say* It’s a lot. Turns out, I have much to say today so, TL;DR: The final installment of the Blood & Shadows series, War of the Shadows, has an official release date on December 8, 2025. Mark your calendars, and click that pre-order button when you find it. The Long Of It Blood Moons was the book that first got me published in 2010. Back then, it was… Read More »The Story Ends on December 8th, 2025

Announcing the Finale of Blood & Shadows

One hell of a journey Back in 2008, I was sitting on two and a half books of what was supposed to be a paranormal romance trilogy about futuristic shape shifters. By this point, I had already written well over a million words across many different novels, novellas, and short stories, but these were the first ones I seriously shopped around for publishing.  At the height of the eBook boom, I got lucky. It only took me three rejections to get an acceptance and, on September 10, 2010, the first book of that series was my first ever novel publication. I would go on to publish two more books with that publisher before I discovered that self-publishing was an option… Read More »Announcing the Finale of Blood & Shadows

Shadow Hound Release Date and Sneak Peek

I am so behind on all the announcements and promos for this release it’s not even funny. The timing just happened to overlap with a lot of other life priorities and I ran out of time to set up all of my marketing for release day. I want to say it bothers me but… Eh. The most important part of it for me is the book, and I am over the moon proud of how it all turned out. The story, the cover—everything. I loved these characters in Shadow Hawk, and I love them here. It occurred to me when I was formatting everything for print that I kind of threw down the gauntlet in the dedication of book 5,… Read More »Shadow Hound Release Date and Sneak Peek

What Is Love

I have this thing I like to say any time the topic comes up: “I like my men like I like my books—fictional.” Because, really, what avid reader out there hasn’t at one time or another fallen in love with a fictional character? If you’re one of the Lucky People whose minds are able to translate words printed on the page into vivid images and scenes in your mind’s eye, it’s almost a foregone conclusion. And if you’re a writer on top of that, well… infer from that what you will. LOL The joke is meant to be funny, but it speaks to something much deeper: the love I have for books and writing. And I know I’ve talked about… Read More »What Is Love
