Embrace the Light Is Out!
It's out! I'm so excited that you get to read the next installment of the Godstone Saga!
Caelan and his companions are on their way to Ilon to meet with the last god, and hopefully, get the help he needs to defeat the Goddess of the Hunt.
Lore is not what anyone expects, and neither is the story he has to tell.
I had a lot of fun writing the fifth book of the series, as if allowed me to expand the world of Thia even further, giving readers a deeper look at both the past and the present.
If you've not heard about this book yet, here's a quick description:
A Tragic Story Comes to Light.
At last, Caelan and his companions are heading to see a long-time ally of Erya.
But New Rosanthe soldiers have already moved into the city, and nothing is quite as it seems.
Even as old betrayals reveal new enemies, Caelan’s main goal remains the God of Wisdom and the truth.
The only problem is that time is running out and the Dead God is waiting to claim him.
Embrace the Light is the fifth book in the six-book Godstone Saga fantasy series and is not a standalone. The story contains danger, secrets, bossy gods, stolen kisses, a new king finding his way, a possessive boyfriend, magic, and lots of delicious angst.
And if you haven't starting reading yet, now is a great time to binge the first 5 books of this 6-book series. The final book will be out on July 8. Time to get caught up!
What's more, the audiobook of Wings of Fire just came out this week. The audiobooks for the first four books are all out AND whispersynced!
Happy reading!

Free Book, Limited Time
Is there anything better in the world than a free book?
There might be, but I honestly can't think of what it might be.
If you don't subscribe to my newsletter, you might have missed the news that Shiver, book 1 of the Unbreakable Bonds series, is currently FREE!
Yep! Isn't that fantastic?
If you haven't jumped into the romantic suspense series that I wrote with Rinda Elliott, now is a fantastic time to do so. The series is complete with EIGHT novels and FOUR short story collections so you can just dive deep into the world of Lucas, Snow, Rowe, and Ian.
What's more, the audiobook to Shiver is whispersynced. That means you can get the ebook for FREE and then pick up the audiobook for only $7.49!
This sale is on only until Monday, April 4. After Monday, the book goes back to full price at $4.99.
If you've not jumped into Shiver, here is a quick description:
Lucas Vallois does not want a bodyguard.
The self-made millionaire is building a glittering empire and has everything he wants within his tight grasp.
His world is starting to crumble after a trio of goons jump him late one night.
Caving to the demands of his friends, Lucas accepts the help of bodyguard, Andrei Hadeon, as he hunts for the source of this new threat.
But Lucas can’t deny the shiver of longing that strikes every time he’s around his sexy Romanian bodyguard.
Lucas is sure he has no room in his life for others beyond his three close friends, but he wants to change the world for the man who could be his greatest love. His everything.
Shiver is the first book in the Unbreakable Bonds series, which features a bossy millionaire, sexy bodyguard, forbidden love, close friendship bonds, bisexual awakening, car chase, and lots of steam.
The Unbreakable Bonds books also weave together with the Ward Security world, so that's a total of 14 books and lots of novellas and short stories. Click here to see the full reading order!

Beware of Grumpy Dragons
I'm so excited!
Wings of Fire, book 4 of the Godstone Saga, is NOW OUT!
It's time to jump back into the adventure with Caelan, Drayce, Eno, and Rayne.
What's more, you're going to meet a lot of new characters, such as Adrian, Mio, Haru, Nori, and Masaru.
And I really can't wait for you to meet them. Particularly Haru. He is 100% undiluted trouble with a mouth that can't be stopped.
The story picks up a few months after Wake the Dead and takes you to the Isle of Stone. We finally get the full details on who Drayce is and where he came from.
In fact, a lot of this book is about secrets that finally come to light. I'm not going to say anything more because I don't want to ruin any of the surprises.
Here's a quick description of the book:
Secrets can kill.
The Goddess of Fire calls from the Isle of Stone, and Caelan must obey.
But the new king must first unravel a lifetime of secrets if he wants to have any chance of saving Drayce’s life.
Caelan and his companions battle dragon clans and cranky gods in their quest to protect their world from the Goddess of the Hunt.
And if they’re lucky, they might even get a little help from an unexpected source.
Wings of Fire is the fourth book in the six-book Godstone Saga fantasy series and is not a standalone. The story contains danger, secrets, bossy gods, stolen kisses, a new king finding his way, a possessive boyfriend, magic, and lots of delicious angst.
If you've not started reading yet, here's the reading order:
The audiobooks are out for the first two books. The audio has been recorded for the third book and is currently with the editor. I'm hoping to have the final copy in mid-March. In addition, Kale Williams will start recording the fourth book in mid-March and I'm hoping for a mid- to late-April release.

Find Your Soul Mate, Save the World
Can you believe it?!?!
The Weaver Circle series is now complete. All FIVE books are now out and it is time for you to get your binge on.
Rinda and I are so excited for your to fall in love with Hale and Harrison.
They are definitely an opposites attract, but no one can resist the adorable earnestness of Hale. He's just so much sunshine and sweetness.
And Harrison is all business.
Well, he might also be a tad bit possessive when his heart finally decides that Hale is his!
Here is a quick description of the final book:
Hale Anderson
The Air Weaver.
He was the freaking Air Weaver. Not exactly what he expected when he got kidnapped by the pestilents, but Hale’s good rolling with the punches.
He can take a little time away from his pursuit of a doctorate in astrophysics to save the world.
Except that the final spell is poised to kill all the Weavers and their last hope lies with him finding his soul mate.
Hale doesn’t want a soul mate. He just wants Harrison.
Harrison William Davenport III
As the Keeper of the Heart of the Earth, Harrison must bring the final key to the Weavers if they’re to stop the pestilents.
He’s trained for this task his entire life. And he’s prepared to die just like his father did with the last generation of the Weavers.
But what if saving the world isn’t enough anymore?
What if the only thing that matters is saving Hale?
Storm Warrior is the final book in The Weavers Circle series. It includes fast-paced action, a dangerous cross-country roadtrip, dirty fun in tents, flying, bi-awakening sexy times, animal shenanigans, nerdy talk about the stars, jealousy, three crazy old ladies, magic, and a fight to save the world!
Excited? You can grab your ebook copy now right here. We are just waiting on the print cover now to release the print book.
And if you've not started reading the Weavers Circle paranormal romance series, here is the complete reading order:
The audiobooks for the first three books are now available and they are whispersynced. Kirt Graves and Silas Whitacker are working on Tangled Warriors right now. We're hoping to have it out in the next month or two.
Happy reading!

Wake the Dead Is Out!
I'm so excited! A new book in the Godstone Saga has been released!
This was a heavy book to write as I put Caelan, Drayce, Eno, and Rayne through some dangerous situations, forcing them to make some very difficult decisions.
With Wake the Dead, you get to visit a new country, meet a new god, and learn some very interesting secrets that I have been DYING to spill.
But don't worry, I've got quite a few more secrets that I've tucked away for future books.
If you have not grabbed your copy yet, here's a quick description of the book:
The dead wait for Caelan.
The Goddess of Life has sent Caelan to wake her brother, the Dead God.
But crossing the reclusive country of Zastrad is even more treacherous when Caelan and his friends aren’t sure they can trust their guide.
The brotherhood of friends will be tested by violence, death, political intrigue, and secrets better left in the dark.
When Caelan finally reaches the fractured godstone, he may have to give up everything to save the family he’s cobbled together of the years.
Wake the Dead is the third book in the six-book Godstone Saga fantasy series and is not a standalone. The story contains danger, secrets, bossy gods, stolen kisses, new king finding his way, a possessive boyfriend, magic, and lots of delicious angst.
I'm also excited to see that readers are loving the book! Look what readers are saying:
"Wow, wow, wow. This book packed quite a punch. I loved the first two but this one is even more intense."
"Another great add to the series. I'm loving this unique universe; each book adds another layer and I don't know what's going to happen next. Love Eno and Rayne together; great chemistry and best friends that Caelan could have. Caelan and Drayce are still connecting to each other and how their story is unfolding has me not putting this down. Can't wait for the next."
"I just can't get enough of this series! Yet again, I devoured every word in one sitting... my kindle was glued to my hand all day and I was hooked from start to finish. There is so much going on in terms of action, developing relationships, intrigue, mystery - you name it, this book has it!"
"Absolutely Outstanding Fantasy Reading! A. Must"Be sure to grab your copy here.
What's more, the fourth book in the series is now up for pre-order. Wings of Fire will be out on February 25!
Discover the repercussions for what happens in Wake the Dead.
How are the boys going to get out of this mess?

If you've been following my Facebook Group or newsletter, you know that I've got a lot of new books in the works.

Breath of Life is Out!!!
YASSS! It's time to continue the adventures of Caelan, Drayce, Rayne, and Eno!
Are you ready for this?
The boys are finally going home to kick New Rosanthe out of Stormbreak, but Caelan is going to have more trouble claiming his throne than he was expecting.
If you haven't started the Godstone Saga yet, now is a great time to dive into Steal the Wind so you can just flow straight into Breath of Life.
In the new book, you will learn more about the gods, learn a little more about who can be trusted, and the boys just might get a little deeper in their relationships.
If you've not started reading Breath of Life yet, here's a quick description:
Caelan wants his throne back.
The bargain has been struck, and it’s time to return home.
But the situation is worse in Erya than he previously suspected. Betrayal runs deep in the streets of Stormbreak, and finding people he can trust will be treacherous.
He has no choice, though. He’s fighting for his birthright, and maybe even a little revenge if he can get it.
Will the gods come between him and the crown?
Or worse, him and Drayce?
Breath of Life is the second book in the six-book Godstone Saga fantasy series and is not a standalone. The story contains explosions, gods with secret plans, hidden romance, a prince set on revenge, magic, and lots of delicious angst.
And don't forget that you can also pre-order Wake the Dead (book 3 of the Godstone Saga) right now. The third book comes out on Sunday, December 26. Lock in your copy now so you don't forget in the middle of the holiday chaos. Treat yourself after the holidays are over!

Diving into the Godstone Saga
Do you need a little fantasy mixed in with your romance?
A little kissing and romance angst mixed with your danger?
Do you need gods causing problems?
Friends who are always there when you get in over your head?
Destiny, explosions, and magic?
I've got a new series for you.
So, I've had this nugget of an idea for a really long time that I wanted to write a fantasy series. I wanted to create a world that had technology like ours but had magic and troublesome gods and monarchies and strange new countries.
I actually started writing Steal the Wind in December 2020 on a whim and fell in love with Caelan, Rayne, Drayce, and Eno. I fell in love with their world and their journey. I fell in love with all the trouble, pain, heartbreak, and triumph I was going to put them through.
And I thought...I should share this with readers.
So, I am!
Steal the Wind is now out for you to dive into. You might have heard there's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end.
That's why I made sure I could release the second book, Breath of Life, very close to it. In fact, the second book comes out next Friday, on November 12. Breath of Life does not have a cliffhanger.
Be sure to pre-order it so you can roll straight into the second book after you finish the first!
I am currently just one chapter away from finishing Wake the Dead, book 3 of the series, and it will come out on December 26. I didn't want you to wait a second longer than necessary.
It is also up for pre-order and you should really lock it in now. You know you're going to get busy with holiday madness. You're going to forget.
But if you pre-order it, you'll be ready. Just think: the moment you sit down after all the holiday craziness is over and you've escaped your relatives, you'll open your kindle and BAM! That new book will be waiting to whisk you away on a new adventure.
The Godstone series will be a six-book series. The fourth book, which I start writing in November, will be out in February. As you can see, I'm trying to keep the release dates for the series as close together as possible.
If you've never tried a fantasy book before, I think the Godstone Saga is a good place to start. I tried to immerse you in a new world on a new adventure without overwhelming you with too much at once. There are many truths that Caelan will be discovering for the first time along with readers.
And if you like watching couples fall in love and evolve over time, the series has that too.
If you're ready to dive in, here are links to the first three books:
Happy reading!
