Blazing Petals

Cover Reveal and Preorder Link is Live!!!!

Blazing Petals is coming August 2nd, 2019! The cover is gorgeous and the book is up for editing in about a week. I’m really excited to see the response to some of the actions in this book.

It delves more into the relationships, has more action, more drama, and more steamy moments than book one. I’ll post the blurb and the link below!

BLURB:

Dancing Flames. Cold Steel. Flowing Blood.

My name is Everly Banks, and I seem to collect problems like most people collect dust bunnies. With an army of enemies at the gate, I must gather one of my own.

With the hunters on my side, and maybe even in my bed, I begin to have hope that I will make it through the coming war with my mind and heart intact.

Some people seek to use me while others play the long game. But not all of my enemies are what they seem. A betrayal blindsides me and lives hang in the balance as my magics cry out for me to destroy it all.

I will dance among the blazing petals and cover myself in the ashes of their destruction. The line in the earth is being drawn, and it won’t be my blood that flows freely. Choose your side wisely.

Blazing Petals in a continuation of The Anomaly Series. It is an urban fantasy with a RH romance. That means she doesn’t choose between her men. This story is not suitable for those under the age of eighteen due to sensitive content.

Release Weekend

So, Twisted Flames released Friday. I was nervous, excited, scared as hell, nauseated, and everything else in between. I mean, who knows what people are going to think of it. It might totally bomb and then what do you do?

But, thank fuck, it went really well. I didn’t screw anything up. The release went without a hitch. My party in my FB group went well. So, it was a great day, right?

Well, yes. BUT imagine my surprise when I looked to see how it was doing and it broke the top 100 Urban & Paranormal Fantasy category. So I thought “this must be the norm” like it was typical. Well, apparently, it isn’t. So I started freaking out a bit more. THEN it broke category 2, then 3, then 4! I had a total of 4 categories that I saw my book in. It climbed as high as #27 in the Demons category! It ended up leveling off at #45 in the U&PF category. Still, amazing results for a brand new author.

I was absolutely amazed and so very thankful. It’s crazy to think that people are reading something that I wrote. I’m used to being the reader, not the person on the other side of the words. When I saw my first screenshot of my book on someone’s e-reader today, I was like, “That’s me! That’s me!” Everyone around me was looking at me like I was a little weird, but that’s fine with me.

So, I can officially say that I am a published author which is amazing. I can also say that I am so very thankful to everyone who borrowed or bought my book and read the words. I’m working on being better so that book two will be better. Then book three will be even better. I want every single thing I write to be better than the last. I want to be worth the time readers spend on those words.

So, thank you reader peoples(and yes, that’s an intentional -s on the end of people just for the fun of it) and I really need to go write more of book 2! See y’all later!

Hello!

Released June 7th, 2019

Hello, people of the net! This is the first post of my page, which makes it a very important post. At least, it is in my head. As I’m writing this, I’m low key freaking out because tomorrow is release day for book one of The Anomaly series, Twisted Flames.

I’ve been setting up a newsletter, this site, and doing a party on Facebook. A fairly productive day overall, I think. I’m working on book two of The Anomaly series as well. It will be called Blazing Petals. I don’t have a firm date for release yet, and I don’t want to give a date that I don’t meet. As I get closer, I’ll know more and try to keep everything updated. I also had a bit of an issue with my first cover, so I’m not sure about the cover situation for the second book either. That will also be something to watch for. I’ll likely release it after I finish the first draft.

For now, getting book one off the ground is my focus. At least, for the next few days. I’ll leave the blurb and link below so you can decide if you want to check it out. Thanks for reading!

Shiny Blades. Scorching Fire. Falling Feathers.

That’s me, Everly Banks, the original supernatural. After being betrayed by The Council and given to a madman, I burned it all to the ground. Now all I want is to stay hidden, protecting those who need it from the shadows.

When four hunters show up on my doorstep asking for my help and trying to drag me back into the light, I send them and their secrets packing. Did I mention they work for The Council?

I may not have a choice. An army of demons is amassing and innocents are getting caught up in its net. My only friend may be next.

Trusting them may burn me, but I’ve always played with fire.
