New Release

UPDATE: Out of Print Books-- I've just about got my rights back for a number of books now, but it does mean they're out of print until I can get them republished. They will be rolling out over the course of the next year so keep checking back for the updates.

NEW RELEASE

KELLYN'S SACRIFICE, a short fantasy romance story, is available at Amazon now and will roll out to other vendors in mid-September. While it's exclusive to Amazon, it's part of their Kindle Unlimited program so if you happen to be part of that, you can read the story for free! But only for the next few months. Kellyn's Sacrifice is a prequel story to THE HERON'S CALL.

And don't miss:

WARRIOR'S DAWN (Fire and Tears, 3) -- Paperback Coming Soon!

For a chance at love, he may have to offer up his last drop of blood.

Branded a traitor, Althir of Glengowyn has resigned himself to life as outcast from his own people—until he’s offered a chance at redemption. A suicide mission to retrieve a vessel bearing the ultimate weapon: the Sorcerers’ true names.  

His companion on the journey is a human woman unlike any he’s ever encountered. Beautiful. Brave. Fascinating. And before he knows it, keeping her safe is more important than his own salvation.

Mina Dawnswealth’s talent for spycraft has kept her alive even as her dreams—and her family—have fallen victim to the war, one by one. Much as she hates the idea of helping the traitor elf, at least she gets the pleasure of burying a knife in his back should he decide to betray her people again. A much easier task if she didn’t find him so compelling.

Only when they’re beyond the point of no return do they discover just how much blood their mission will cost. And how much love it will take to overcome their pasts—if they survive.

Warning: Contains an arrogant ass of an elf hero and a human heroine with a bitter past who would like nothing better than to kill him. Danger, fighting, hard language, magical mayhem, deadly Sorcerers and hot sex fueled by an addictive pheromone. Can we get a “Hell, yeah”?

For a little taste of the book, here's an excerpt!  

Available at: Samhain Publishing | Amazon | B&N | Kobo | iBookstore

Huzzah! The Domain is Back!

I have the greatest friends in the world. Thank you Kem and Peter for helping me get my domain back up and working properly again!

In the background, we are working on a whole new look for the site and a full site update, but in the meantime, everything will work as it used to.

And to celebrate, I'm going to show off the cover art for my April release! THE DARKNESS OF GLENGOWYN is Book 2 in the Fire and Tears fantasy romance series. Readers of paranormal romance should love this series too as it's got a very gritty, sexy feel to it. And hot elves. Can't forget the hot elves. The first book is BRIGHTARROW BURNING if you want to check that out.

THE DARKNESS OF GLENGOWYN is available for preorder at Amazon and will be released on April 29, 2014. The third book in the series (with my first serious anti-hero--he's so fantastic you will love him!) WARRIOR'S DAWN is due out later in the year. I'll have more on that one as I get exact dates.

So without further ado, here's the beautiful cover art for Book 2...

Pretty, huh? And it goes so well with the BRIGHTARROW cover! I have to thank my brilliant cover artist and Samhain Publishing again for giving me such lovely art for my books.

More on releases and the new site to come!

Happy Reading!

Welcome Tank!

Welcome the newest member of our family!

Born a week early, in January, this little boy -- nicknamed Tank -- hit the ground running and has been in a hurry to grow ever since. As you can see, he's already a reader like the rest of his family. His big brother has taken well to the new addition. The dog is anticipating all the extra dropped food. I foresee much mischief and mayhem in my future.

And though Tank has been enjoying keeping mommy busy, he's let me get back to work finally too.

More on my upcoming releases soon, but I can hint that the next Naravan Chronicles novel is in the works and there's more coming from the Brightarrow Burning world.
