Thank You!
With your help Magic Runes broke several personal records. It was the first book of mine to make the top 20 of several lists on Amazon and exceed 600+ sales in a month.
If you’re on my newsletter list you may remember me saying how I’d be happy if I got 100 pre-orders. Well, by the time the book went live I was ECSTATIC! Why?
Magic Runes ended with 544 pre-orders!
That’s 5x what I hoped for!
I’m so thankful for all your support and helping make this happen. I couldn’t have done it without you. I really appreciate your emails and messages on Facebook letting me know how much you enjoyed the book. I’m so happy so many of you connected with it!
Right now the sequel, Magic Rifts, has 438 pre-orders. I’m aiming for 650 pre-orders by the time the book is released.
Think we can do it?
OF COURSE WE CAN!

Something Special is Showing Up Soon!
I just uploaded something special for pre-order. I’m super excited to share this new book with you all.
Here’s a sneak peek at the blurb:
Hunting supernaturals isn’t easy, even when you can use magic.
In a world where supernaturals are hidden from the general population, I’m hired to keep our secrets safe and take care of rogues, by whatever means necessary.
When I accidentally target the wrong person, the Supernatural Bureau of Investigation offers me a deal – work for them or go to jail. It isn’t much of a choice but I agree to their terms.
I’m tasked to locate a vampire I thought I had killed years ago. My ex-boyfriend. And I’m ordered to bring him in without harming a hair on his head. That was going to be a problem.
I may not have killed him before but he was certainly going to die when I found him.
Supernatural Slayer is a fast-paced urban fantasy mystery with a high body count.
I’m planning to release five books in this series in 2018. I will reveal the cover and share the link when the book is available on Amazon.
Let me know what you think of the blurb in the comments!

Cover Reveal: Fall of Magic Urban Fantasy Anthology
Isn’t this cover gorgeous? Christian Bentulan did an amazing job on the cover of Fall of Magic. I’ve teamed up with a group of talented authors, led by the fantastic Tim Moon, to bring you this urban fantasy boxset.
My story “Ghostly Magic” will be included in this first volume of the Realms of Power. “Ghostly Magic” takes place in the world of Magic Runes which is available for pre-order now.
Fall of Magic will be published in early November 2017 so you’ll have a chance to read “Ghostly Magic” before Magic Runes comes out.

Winners will be drawn randomly and announced in the Devyn Jayse newsletter. If you’re not a newsletter subscriber, sign up here to find out if you’re a winner. Good luck!
My name’s Kaitlyn Felis, and I’m a treasure-hunting alchemist.
I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to work for a mysterious elf called Fein Thyrin. Not only did he give me my dream alchemy lab, one that came with a beautiful part-nymph assistant (she’ll be the end of me, in the best possible way) he’s also hired me as his personal treasure-hunter. To say I was excited is a drastic understatement.
First on my treasure-hunting list? The Seers Stone – it’s a thing of legends, and I’m going to be the first hunter to get my hands on it.
The Hidden Alchemy series is set in the same magic-packed world as the popular Ink Born series.
Kaitlyn is a bisexual woman who engages in both f/f and f/m sexual acts within this book. There is also a semi-open relationship.
Can’t wait to win this book? Get Seers Stone now on Amazon or read it on Kindle Unlimited.
