Soundtest for Ruth’s Bonded
https://www.facebook.com/pg/VCLancaster/posts/?ref=page_internal
That’s the link for my facebook post with the soundtest I did for Ruth’s Bonded. The thinking was I would save money if I could narrate it myself. The end result was that I would pay any price not to do it myself. I think you will all agree. Still, check it out and let me know what you think!

Redbubble Shop & New Interview
Just a small note because it’s 11pm here, but I’ve put together a Redbubble shop here for merchandise! All my book covers are available to be printed onto things, as are the chibi characters I commission for Ro, Kez, Khy, and Zir. More designs featuring the chibis will be coming, but I have to make them. I want to get all four in a line-up, as well as ones featuring their titles, their names, quotes from the books, whatever.
Second thing, I did another interview! This one is a blog post, avai...

London Book Fair 2019
As some of you may know if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I was at the London Book Fair last week.

That’s me!
Anyway, I thought I would talk about what I learned (Ha!) and my experience and so on. One of the things that kept being repeated is that fans and readers want to see an author’s human side rather than just endless promotion, and that we have to be personable and relatable on social media… … … Sounds cynical I know, but what can be more human and personable than stating that u...

Killer Cover
Usually when I’m writing I’ll post an excerpt on my facebook page on Mondays. Today, I forgot until now, and its 9pm here so I didn’t really want to go combing through chapters for a suitable piece to tantalise you all with. As a result, I took the lazy way out and posted the cover for Killer! It was made by FuriousFotog, who has a twitter and a facebook and all the usual so do check him out. He’s such a nice guy too. When I commissioned this he gave me an “eek” and a heart’s eyes emoji.
I wa...

Killer: Chapter 1
Kicking off Monday excerpts with a big one, the whole first chapter! I’ve had a much better response to the news of this series than I was expecting, but for anyone who’s still unsure, feast your eyes on this and maybe you’ll be converted!
Chapter 1
Wil looked determinedly forward as his butler, Maxwell, leaned over him to beat on the rusty metal door in front of them. He cast a glance around the abandoned industrial estate while they waited for it to be answered, keeping his hands in the p...

Announcing my next book, ‘Killer’, first in a new series!
I’ve been gone a while, huh? But I’m back now, ready to get the writing ball rolling for 2019!
I have mentioned that my next book is going to be something different from what I’ve done so far, so here it is: Killer is the first in an M/M A/B/O non-shifter-verse series I’m calling Sweetheart Alphas.
What does that all mean? M/M means a romance between two men. A/B/O or ABO is Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics. This means it is set in a world in which there are Alphas (big, strong, animalistic, dominan...

The Guy Next Door Pre-Order
The Guy Next Door is up for pre-order! It’s coming out on the 20th of December. Normally I don’t like to do pre-orders because I don’t like deadlines, and if the book is finished, just put it up, right? But this time TGND is out for a sensitivity read. I wanted to make sure the language surrounding Kez’s mixed race identity isn’t going to hurt mixed-race people in real life, especially since he is quite down on himself for it and it is intrinsic to the plot.
So the reader will have the boo...

Kez and Bia Character Study
Kez and Bia are both quite complicated characters, maybe my most complicated, largely due to how race and culture intersect and tangle around each other both in their individual identities and when they are together. Because of this, I’ve decided to do long character studies of them, to try to lay it all out.
This may count as spoilers. I won’t write about events that take place in the book, but it will dismantle their characters pretty entirely so you might lose the feeling of learning about...

The Guy Next Door Chapter 1
Here is the first chapter of Office Aliens Book 4, The Guy Next Door, Kez and Bia’s story. It feels to me like there’s a lot of exposition in this chapter, I would have rather not done it this way, but when both characters are aliens, there’s no human to learn things slowly. It doesn’t make sense for Kez to keep stuff back from the reader. I’ve read and revised this chapter a few times, so I think now it’s more or less in it’s final form. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
