KINDLE UNLIMITED Goes Demon!

BETTER THE DEMON YOU KNOW (Bedeviled #3) has released into Kindle Unlimited!

If you haven’t started the series yet, now’s the perfect time because the first book, BIG DEMON ENERGY is 99c until September 17.

Evil has a scent: lemon.

It was supposed to be a routine drug bust. Arrest some magic jerks and move on, but then a fellow operative is murdered, and Aviva is thrust into a perilous black ops mission to disprove corruption charges.

Meanwhile, her half-sister is being blackmailed for being an infernal, and as Avi struggles to protect her, she’s set on a collision course with the one person she hoped to never meet.

And just when she thought things couldn’t get any crazier, her ex drops a bomb about second chances.

Aviva must navigate a minefield of love, betrayal, and powerful Maccabees gunning for her, to expose her enemies—and keep her secrets hidden. But hey, running for your life is good cardio, right?

Featuring a smart, funny heroine and a banter-fueled vampire romance, this wickedly addictive urban fantasy will keep you reading way past bedtime.

Dive in now for a fiendishly good time!

Exclusive Cover Reveal for Demon in Disguise

Let’s get a big drumroll for the exclusive cover reveal of DEMON IN DISGUISE!

Ready?

What do you think?

I hate writing book blurbs, so I was just going to use this as the official synopsis:

Look, this is book four of five. Shit’s gonna go down. And honestly, if you’re not committed to this ride by now, what could I possibly say in 250 words to convince you?

But I figured that was a bad idea, right?

So here’s the real synopsis:

Welcome to Vancouver, where the coffee’s strong, the magic’s stronger, and the murders are getting personal.

With tensions between the magic and non-magic communities already at a breaking point, Aviva goes undercover on a high-profile murder case that could shatter the city’s fragile peace. As if that weren’t enough pressure, she uncovers a deadly connection to demons—and her own past.

But why have one code red crisis when you could have two? Enter the Shepherd: a shadowy figure convinced a vampire breeding ritual is a good idea.

Spoiler alert: it’s not.

And forget juggling stolen moments with Ezra between supernatural smackdowns. Fed up with her work-life chaos, Aviva realizes that sometimes, the best disguise is no disguise at all.

Cherry Bomb is ready for her close-up.

DEMON IN DISGUISE will be up for pre-order on Deborah Wilde Books and Amazon by the time BETTER THE DEMON YOU KNOW releases on my store on Aug 25.

SAVE THIS SERIES

BIG NEWS!

The Bedeviled AF ebooks are now exclusive to Kindle Unlimited.

But why, deb?

Well, despite redoing the covers and blurbs and putting out (IMHO) really fun books, this series is just not selling being wide. I was at the point where I was going to have to pull the plug, but I decided to try this to save the series. (Because I really do love it.)

What does this mean for me, as a reader?

You can still purchase the currently released ebooks (BIG DEMON ENERGY and DEMON ON DECK) on Zon. You can also read them in KU for free if you have a subscription.If you’ve pre-ordered BETTER THE DEMON YOU KNOW, you will still receive it at the retailer where it was purchased. This includes Deborah Wilde Books.BETTER THE DEMON YOU KNOW will have its exclusive early release on Deborah Wilde Books on August 25. You will be able to purchase it there until Sept 14, when it goes into Kindle Unlimited.All future pre-orders (books 4 & 5) will be available on Deborah Wilde Books and Zon. Those titles will also release early on my store before being taken down once they go into Kindle Unlimited.There is NO CHANGE to paperbacks or audiobooks. You can still purchase them at a variety of places including Deborah Wilde Books.

What can I do to help?

I’m really glad you asked because I absolutely need your help to save this series!

Go forth and tell everyone that it’s now in Kindle Unlimited. That means other reader groups (especially urban fantasy specific ones like Fans of Urban Fantasy on FB), but also anywhere it is APPROPRIATE. (Please DO NOT SPAM anyone.)

Here’s the link to BIG DEMON ENERGY: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8CDGX3V

Here’s the synopsis of BIG DEMON ENERGY for you to share. Feel free to use the graphic at the top.

She’s just a demon, standing in front of a vampire, trying not to punch him.

Aviva Fleischer hides a dangerous secret. She’s carefully concealing her infernal heritage, a.k.a. Cherry Bomb. Maybe it’s weird naming her demon side and referring to her in the third person, but guys do the same with their junk, and unlike most of them, Avi isn’t deluded about Cherry’s prowess.

Avi’s been working her ass off, climbing the ranks of a supernatural policing organization to enact change and empower those like her forced to hide their true nature. Sure, she’s bent the rules now and then, but her arrest record speaks for itself. Her promotion is in the bag.

Instead, the director strikes a deal with Avi: spy on the operative sent in to work a rash of bizarre murders and prove she can be a team player, or kiss that new rank goodbye.

No problem.

Okay, maybe just one.

Her co-leader, Ezra Cardoso, is a charming, ruthless vampire with his own agenda, whom she fantasizes about: mostly staking him then vacuuming up his remains.

But when the killer sets Aviva’s team firmly in their sights, she’ll have to decide whether to keep playing by the rules or show everyone exactly what she—and Cherry Bomb—are capable of…

Featuring a smart, funny heroine and a banter-fueled vampire romance, this wickedly addictive urban fantasy will keep you reading way past bedtime.

Urban Fantasy Romance

What is urban fantasy romance?

Good question! And one which I discuss in a highly entertaining manner with fellow urban fantasy authors C.P. Rider and Heather G.Harris in an upcoming panel at the Wanna Write Romance conference.

Urban Fantasy Romance: the dark, dirty, and snarky

The great thing about these fellow authors is that: a) they are hilarious and b) between us we cover a spectrum from not steamy urban fantasy romance to quite steamy.

Guess where I fall? lol

Wanna Write Romance runs from June 13-16 and there will be a lot of wonderful and informative panels.

Registration is FREE so sign up and be sure to be there on June 14 at 9:15AM PT. https://wilde100–suebrownmoore.thrivecart.com/wwr2024-free/

AHOY! HERE BE AUDIO!

You want a funny, sexy urban fantasy audiobook? Well, let it never be said that I don’t deliver. lol

Hollie did a fantastic job with this book. (Like there was any doubt.) 

DEMON ON DECK will be available on other retailers, including Audible, but: a) it will be more expensive there, and b) I have no idea how long it will take for those retailers to send it through QC.

Why wait? Grab it from me and start listening now! https://deborahwildebooks.com/product...

And if you enjoy it, please leave a review.

DEMON ON DECK IN THE WILDE!

Look at how pretty the first two books in the Bedeviled AF series look together.

If you haven’t had a chance to pick either up, today is the perfect day, because DEMON ON DECK is live at all major retailers.

“I don’t want you calm. I never have.” Ezra’s lips curled up into a smile with sharp edges and no warmth, his fangs peeking through. “I want you dangerous.”

When Aviva lands a baffling murder investigation, she discovers that the key to solving the crime lies in the last place she expects—a deadly magic gaming hall aboard a freaking yacht. Because why solve a supernatural murder on nice solid ground?

While she navigates this high-stakes inquiry on the high-seas, she’s also hunting a mysterious artifact. Should it fall into the wrong hands, it’s game over for any half-demons—like her.

No pressure.

But here’s the real storm on the horizon. Her ex-lover and partner-in-crime, Ezra, is still in the picture. Sparks are flying, and not the good kind. Well, not always. Old wounds and smoldering desires have resurfaced, and she’s not sure if she’ll sink or swim.

Bon voyage.

Featuring a smart, funny heroine and a banter-fueled vampire romance, this wickedly addictive urban fantasy will keep you reading way past bedtime.

Dive in now for a fiendishly good time!

CREATIVES GETTING COFFEE

I’ve started doing podcast interviews. No lie, I was very nervous, but they’re getting easier. Plus, I’ve had some fantastic hosts.

Like Joey Powell over at Creatives Getting Coffee. I had a blast chatting with him and hopefully didn’t make a fool of myself.

Check out the podcast (with video) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2rCw4Vmazk
