Updates, and a gift
Just a reminder--Sweet Clematis, Book Nine of the Being(s) in Love series will be out on November 27. FINALLY!
The day after that, I believe, I will have a short interview in the HEA section of USA Today, where I will answer all sorts of geeky writer questions you may or may not care about. :)
This December, probably shortly after the 25th, I will be releasing a smol, fluffy little fantasy short. Something not at all in the holiday spirit, for people who just want a break from it all. It's called How to (Not) Train a Firecat and I will have more details soon.
And in a last bit of news, every year around my birthday, I try to write a fun, easy, short story or snippet for people. This year it got a little out of hand. But I posted it anyway. It's been a stressful year. People should have a nice thing. It's free (or reader sets the price) at Smashwords.

Hope you all enjoy it! I'll post again in a few weeks to scream about Clematis and other fun stuff!

Novella up for Pre-Order
How to (Not) Train a Firecat is now available to pre-order on Amazon and Smashwords. It's a short, fluffy fantasy story I wrote just to have something small and nice and fun during a very rough year.
The firecats of Dua are giant beasts with red-gold fur and lashing tails. They are also loving and loyal companions to the few they choose to serve. Every member of the royal House of Durii has a personal guard and a firecat to serve as a reminder of the greatness of their rule. After all, only the truly extraordinary would walk alongside a firecat. Only the truly extraordinary could.
Not River, obviously. River took the job of cleaning up after the noble beasts when he came to Dua years ago. He’s not any kind of soldier or guard, and he’s too mouthy to belong around royalty. All he wants to do is avoid some of the more resentful guard trainees, care for the very spoiled cats, and try not to get his heart broken by one maddeningly gentle apprentice wizard.
Apprentice Gavin is powerful, brilliant, and probably noble. He’s destined for greatness—and more than likely a guard and a firecat to protect him. He’s not meant for one insignificant little beastminder like River.
But firecats are not the only creatures who are fierce, loyal, and beautiful to behold. River is about to learn that the firecats and the guards who walk with them have more in common than he thought. And he will have to accept that he might be extraordinary as Gavin thinks he is.
