Here’s the Persephone Cover rebrand! This new cover art will be in ebook, paperback (first time for this title in paperback. The Hardcover will remain the first edition), and also audiobook. (Audiobook cover below the blurb as well as a Before/After image for the old vs new cover):

When Persephone was born, Zeus received a troubling prophecy. Some day his beautiful innocent daughter would be taken captive by Hades, the dark god of the underworld. Determined to protect her, her father hid her away in the human world where she would be shielded from her fate.

Hades learned of this betrayal nine centuries ago. He’s been searching for his destined queen ever since. And when he finds her, no power on earth or below it will stop him.

He will take her. He will corrupt her. And Zeus will suffer for daring to keep her from him.

A dark, lush retelling of the Persephone myth as only Kitty Thomas could tell it.” — Anna Zaires, New York Times bestselling author of Twist Me

And I believed him.

Until the day a mysterious stranger showed up, killed the man I’d believed was my husband, and decided to take me with him.

I don’t know what he plans to do with me, but it can’t be anything good.

But at least the world still exists.

The Monster Keeps Me Safe is a dark romance standalone with an HEA and NO cliffhangers. This title was previously published as Tabula Rasa.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE MONSTER KEEPS ME SAFE:

I didn’t think I could love a cold unfeeling man, until now. I love how Kitty Thomas makes a character so flawed and yet never in need of improvement.” – Ginger C, Amazon reviewer

…a relationship driven dark romance with a twisted happily ever after like only Ms. Thomas can conjure up” – Darkreads, Goodreads

For starters, she’s got amnesia, which is not only a unique perspective but also a brilliant counterpoint to his sociopathy: She’s a blank slate mentally in the same way he is emotionally, and that’s the kind of profound storytelling choice that awakens the English major within!” -Dana Sweeney, Amazon Reviewer.

Teaser Scene: She’s Off Limits!”

I wanted to scream for help, but I was both afraid someone might recognize me even with my new look and even more afraid to draw Shannon’s attention. Maybe I could stand to just let this guy do his thing and then slip back upstairs. It wasn’t as if Shannon hadn’t told me to stay in my room and keep my door locked. Even as I did it, I couldn’t believe I was trying to rationalize the situation—as if it would be my fault this guy couldn’t process the word no.

The stranger shoved me down on the black carpeted stairs and stripped me down so fast I couldn’t believe it had already happened. My clothes lay in a chaotic pile near my feet. I had barely enough time to try to wrap my head around anything that was going on and whether or not I thought I could handle it better than the alternatives.

His heavy weight settled on top of me, and I freaked out and screamed. I couldn’t just let it happen. Shannon was going to kill me for breaking his rules and coming down here, but I’d rather Shannon kill me than this guy fuck me. I had such messed-up priorities.

Nobody paid attention to my cries. Maybe they thought my scream was role play. Or maybe they didn’t care. Or maybe they were locked into their own fantasies at the moment and didn’t feel like dealing with someone else’s traumatic reality. After all, that wasn’t part of the fantasy orgy package. I was sure they’d all been given an intense list of rules and that they all knew coming down those stairs was consent… to anything with anyone. But the only rule I’d been issued was to stay away.

While I processed these thoughts and tried not to think about what was about to happen, the stranger was ripped off me. A second later, a guy in a gorilla mask had him by the throat against the wall.

“Did she look like someone here for you to play with?” Shannon shouted.

“N-no.”

“She’s off-limits!” He turned back to the rest of the guests, most of whom were slowly coming out of the orgy fog to notice the commotion. “Everybody get the fuck out! Party’s over!”

I pressed my clothes against me and slowly backed up the stairs.

“Not you!” Shannon said, eyes blazing with fury from behind the mask.

I froze where I was. He’d never yelled. I’d never heard him yell before tonight. He was calm and methodical. I hadn’t been totally sure he had the emotional range to yell. But tonight there was a new and very different energy about him.

ALL my Audiobooks are Wide and on an Introductory sale through the end of February:

I have TWELVE titles in Audiobook and ALL of them are now WIDE, available at many many places besides just Audible and Apple:

Titles of mine available in Audiobook:

1. The Proposal
2. The Easter Hunt
3. Broken Dolls
4. Berserker
5. Dark Night Of The Soul
6. Persephone
7. The Monster Keeps Me Safe
8. The Last Girl
9. Perfection
10. The Game Maker
11. The Escape Artist
12. Trust Game

You can of course get my books at Audible and Apple. Audible I have no control over the price. Apple, I’m working on getting my titles distributed more directly so I can control the price. Once those titles are available through the other distributor they will also be on the big sale on Apple through the end of the month. Keep an eye on this blog for an update on that.

My introductory sale is ALL novels $3.99 and ALL novellas $2.99. This is a HUGE deep discount on audio. If you’re new to audio or you’re thinking about giving it a try, or you have limited funds and want an opportunity to STOCK UP, now is the time.

There will never be another time when I have so many books so deeply discounted, and the sale only goes through the end of February.

Here are the places you can get all my audiobooks at my Introductory Wide Audio Sale: (the first link goes to my personal storefront on Author’s Direct. I make the most per book at Author’s Direct. But all sales at all stores help me in different ways, so shop where you’re most comfortable.)

BUY DIRECT FROM ME Chirp Books Kobo Audiobook Barnes and Noble Google Play Audio Books-a-Million Audiobooks.com Spotify Scribd

My books are also available through the Library System and Hoopla. If you borrow audiobooks through your library system, you should be able to get my books there as well. I obviously make more money when people buy, and I certainly could not live on library sales alone, however, libraries exist for a reason, use them if you need them!

Thanks so much for listening!

Free Audio Prologue with Teddy Hamilton from The Monster Keeps Me Safe:

Genre: Contemporary Dark Romance

Tropes: Mistaken Identities. Kidnapping. Contract Killer.

Teddy Hamilton added his voice to The Monster Keeps Me Safe for both the Prologue and the Bonus Epilogue of this one!

When I decided to re-release I wrote a special prologue and epilogue in the hero’s POV and got a male narrator to record it to add to the audio version.)

Full disclosure: Teddy’s Narration part is a little over 20 minutes. (Prologue is almost 6 minutes and Epilogue is about 15 minutes)

The Monster Keeps Me Safe is currently live in Audiobook (links below) and paperback for the new edition. Ebook is on pre-order at all major online retailers.
