Con Report: Seton Hill IYWM 2018
IYWM is a fantastic, four-day writing conference that is SUPER CHEAP but AMAZING!
Alums, mentors, and special guests (authors, agents, editors) gather on the hill to share their knowledge of all things writing and publishing.
Are you looking for a writing conference that doesn’t break the bank? Then IYWM is for you. The cost of the conference is under $200. Plus, if you want to stay in Greensburg on the cheap, the school opens the dorms for under $100/night.
Okay, shameless plug over! Let’s talk about two of my fave subjects: food and books.
As for the first, two places have my heart (and stomach) in Greensburg.
1. The Headkeeper – a lovely tapas place with an outdoor patio, a wall of imported beers, lambics, and ciders, and a great atmosphere. My favorite was the Magners pear cider and the filet mignon. So. Good.
2. Lupi and Leo’s — or as we like to call it, “Lilo and Stitch’s.” A cute little BYOB mom and pop’s with delicious apps and huge portions. You have not lived until you’ve had their bacon-wrapped dates. Heaven!
Now for the books! Saturday night was the big book signing, and I was there to sell CIRCUIT FAE and rep Monster House Books. Here’s a shot of our table:
I also scoped out some fellow authors’ books. Among my spoils:
You guysssss… This is Mabel. She is a dwarf with a beard and no sh*ts to give about body stereotypes/shaming. When she falls for a handsome elf…
NEED I SAY MORE???? This epic fantasy will rock your beard off.
Mabel is my new heroine!
Get MABEL THE LOVELORN DWARF for .99!
Vampires, magic, Romans!
This alternate history novel will have you guessing at every turn. Plus, both Victory and her daughter kick butt in so many arenas!
STEEL VICTORY not only passes the Bechdel Test, it SMASHES IT!
GET IT FREE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!
I FOUND MY NEW FAVE ROMANCE!
Fantasy romance set in 19th century Scotland? Um, YES, PLEASE!
ESSENTIAL MAGIC is all about finding romance and the magic within.
Supernatural thriller and mystery, the perfect heist meets the perfect storm of the supernatural.
Some wounds never heal.
Seriously, VEINS has me reading under the covers with my flashlight!
Get VEINS for $4.99 on Amazon!
That’s all for now, my pretties! Off to read…
Drop me a line at Monster House Books and let me know what you’re reading.

Happy Book Birthday, DETHRONED!
As usual, we’re launching with amazing sales and awesome goodies, because why wouldn’t we?
Description
For eighteen-year-old Rouen Rivoche, being a fairy princess isn’t about fancy parties and happily ever afters.
Rouen’s people are the dark Fae whose powers of lightning, thundersnow, and all things Winter make them cold, severe, and 100% intolerant of rebellion.
Too bad being a rebel is in Rouen’s blood.
Against tradition, she’s teamed up with Syl Skye, the sleeper-princess of the fair Fae—a mortal enemy who Rouen should want to kill but only wants to kiss. Plus, to be with Syl, Rouen’s masquerading as a glam goth-rock star and human high school student. Honestly, Rouen doesn’t think things could get any more complicated.
Then, she discovers she must become Queen of the Winter Court or all her people will die. No pressure.
Now, dark forces are amassing in the Winter Court, turning Rouen’s people against her and blocking her path to the throne. Even Syl with all her powers of white flame and Summer can’t stop this new kind of evil.
Because betrayal cuts close when it’s someone you love… and now it looks like Rouen’s going to be dethroned before she ever becomes queen.

NEMESIS Cover Revealed!
In fact…she goes all dark Fae evil queen, and it’s Syl’s job to break the spell and bring Rouen back.
And now, without further ado…
And the full wrap without title art…
I’m over the moon about this one. Syl looks so badass! She’s holding aloft the Fair Faerie hearthstone… And is that Rouen’s purple lightning? Hmmm…
Ever wonder who would win in a fight between Syl and Rouen? You just might get to find out!
Description
What would you do if your beloved girlfriend suddenly became your worst enemy? That dilemma’s all too real for Syl Skye, the last princess of the fair Fae.
Even though Syl is all things sun and Summer, she’s drawn to her polar opposite, Rouen Rivoche, the dark Fae princess-assassin of the Winter Court.
They should be mortal enemies, but they’re best friends. Girlfriends. In love.
That is, until Roue falls under a dark spell that makes her forget all about Syl, their lives and their love. Now Roue rules Dark Faerie as a cruel and cold Queen. A Circuit Fae who can harness the killing magic in technology, she wants nothing more than to destroy Syl and her fair Fae people.
But when an old enemy brings both Faerie realms to the brink of destruction, only their queens, Syl and Rouen, can save the day—and only if they can put their differences aside for two seconds and team up.
With the clock’s ticking on Syl and Roue’s relationship—not to mention all of Faerie—will Rouen remember the love she and Syl once shared, or is she destined to be Syl’s nemesis forever?
