As consistent as I’ve tried to make my blog, the truth of the matter is things just get away from me. As with anyone in Canada right now with a toddler, you likely know our kids are going through it. If it isn’t a cold, it’s the flu. If it isn’t the flu, it’s covid. If it isn’t covid, it’s RSV. We have had it all, one week after another. I don’t think I have been healthy since end of September which is just – draining. Throw in the shortage of kid’s medicine right now, and a lot of us are just blowing in the wind hoping for a change. Due to constant onslaught of germs from our little germ factory, my mind has been in a fog and a lot of my deadlines are not being met.
Let’s get into the writing:
Inside the Shadow That Bleeds is my monthly episode that goes out for free for all the readers subscribed to my newsletter. Episode 4: Memories was due to go out at the end of November, but as most of you subscribed probably know, it didn’t. I think right now, if anything is going to be put on the back burner so I have a fighting chance of meeting some of my other deadlines, it will, unfortunately, be this story. Right now, I don’t anticipate getting an episode of this out until the new year. For all of those who have been reading and looking forward to it, I am so sorry. I will likely do a giveaway to make up for the lack of episode, so make sure to keep an eye out for my newsletter to see what that will be (hint: it will be Inside the Shadow That Bleeds themed).
A Bite Full of Death became available in both ebook (free to read with your Kindle Unlimited subscription) and paperback October 25th, 2022. If you’ve gotten around to reading this dark monster romance, I would greatly appreciate an honest review on amazon. Let’s get this bad boy above 50 so it can be found more easily in Amazon’s hard to navigate algorithm. Please be sure to preview the book and read through the contents page to be sure this book is for you, it is dark themed and will have some scenes that may not be suitable for all readers.
I did really enjoy writing this one. It was a nice cleanser in between writing some of my more heavy or intense stuff. If this picks up some speed and maybe goes over 50-75 reviews, I think I would consider doing more monster romances. I have a few in mind but aren’t sure if I have the readership for them.
She Was No One, the first in the Children Of Refuge books is set to release on December 30th. As with all my books, it will be available in ebook, paperback, and free to read with your subscription of Kindle Unlimited. Preorders are now live, so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to get your preorder in.
Her whole life was belonging to him. She was his, like his newest Rolex, or the Aston Martin in the drive. He was her owner, her keeper, and most of the time, he was her torturer. A leap of faith brought an end to that. A leap away from him. A leap into her destruction. Completely ruined and shattered, she could be rebuilt. Reborn into the person she needed to be to finally escape him and the life she’d been sold into.
Bishop retired a long time ago. Used his money to buy himself a private island and open up a clinic where only the rich and famous could afford to go. It was his way to escape what and who he was once. Though he could never truly escape, at least there were no reminders there, and without the reminders he could find peace. A peace that was disrupted when the body of a young woman washes ashore and to his surprise, she’s alive.
She’s keeping secrets and those secrets are a bomb dropped into the life he’s built. But he made a promise to himself long ago that if the opportunity to get his hands on DuPont ever fell into his lap, he would take it. That’s exactly what happens, when he discovers his new patient is a woman who knows the DuPonts better than anyone.
She’s no longer the woman they knew. With a new face and the promise of a new life on the horizon, she’s going to do whatever it takes to end their reign and throw a wrench into every aspect of their lives. She was no one once, but finally free, she will do whatever it takes to be someone again.
This will be a four book series with standalone stories in the same universe that join together for the fourth. They’re written in such a way that you can read one and not the others. Book two is already being edited, so I’m hoping for an early release of that book in 2023.
The Blood of the Covenant will be a paranormal anthology collection with some amazing author’s stories in it. I was lucky enough to be included. I can’t hint at what my story will be too much, but I can tell you the anthology is going to release in Spring of 2023. As of right now, it will release in ebook, but if there are any plans for a paperback, I will let you guys know.
Book Three: A Seven Realms Book… guys, I know. This book has been pushed back a time or two because the ending of book two was heavy and hard and it was difficult for me to get in the mindset I needed to be to finish this. Book three will be out Summer 2023. That’s right. The date is set, and it’s all a matter of getting all the editing and formatting done in time. Questions will be answered. Enemies will be made. Balance will be restored.
These Twisted Billionaires. I introduced you all to Lennox and Jax. This upcoming year, I plan to introduce you to Dom and Ace. Hopefully, the next billionaire will be introduced to my lovely readers Fall 2023. Just a warning, Ace is no Jax. Lennox needed someone to gently take her control, Dom doesn’t do gentle, and Ace will have to bet it all on a princess without a throne. Make sure you follow me on my socials to get glimpses of these two in action.
Although I do have other works planned for 2023, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew. If they get done and out, wonderful, if not, no biggie. For any of my readers who have been following me on socials, you’ll notice I randomly decide to drop books out of the blue… I don’t promise that will change in the new year, but these are the works written and planned out in ink.
If you’re not following my newsletter already, make sure you are to get sneak peeks and your chance at giveaways.
