COVER REVEAL: Clockwork Igni
This novel represents a new era for Myla Lewis in two ways. First, I’m launching a new look for Myla in particular and the series in general. Second, there’s also a new narrative thread.
In CLOCKWORK IGNI, Myla opens Pandora’s Door and releases a whole host of “big bads” that she must fight in future books. The next evildoer who gets rowdy is Lady Reaper (Book 10)–she’s the Grim Reaper, a chick, and wants to kick Myla out of her ghost management gig. And the stories go on from there, from a league of spectral pirates to a Wild West version of Purgatory. Fun times ahead!
Check out the description and cover below…

LAUNCH DAY: Sept 21, 2021
Long live the me! As Queen of Antrum, I rule an underground realm of demon hunters who love finding new caves. Hey, it’s boring down here; I’m glad they all have a hobby. Per usual, I try to act interested about their latest discovery, but all I hear is blah blah blah new cavern blah blah blah Forbidden Tombs blah blah blah massive bronze pyramids blah blah blah creepy ticking sounds. It’s a little odd, but I’m not worried.
My bad.
Suddenly, the Forbidden Tombs burst through the ground in my home realm of Purgatory. Bronze pyramids smash through abandoned buildings and highways, making rush hour a nightmare. Even worse, the metal structures attract tiny lightning bolts called igni, which are my very special supernatural buddies. Within minutes, every last igni gets stolen away.
Now. I’m. Pissed.
Whoever hides inside those pyramids? Time to dust off your mummies and shine up your sarcophagi. Because my husband, Lincoln, and I are breaking in and kicking ass.

I’m Recording Again
Dear audiobook listeners,
I’m back in the studio again! This time, I’m recording ARMAGEDDON, book 7 in the Angelbound Origins series. This tells the story of Myla & Lincoln’s son, Maxon, and how he gets abducted to Hell. And because it seems super-mean to release that book without a follow-on about Maxon’s adulthood, my next 2021 release will be MAXON, Book 1 in the Angelbound Offspring series!
That’s right… I’m adding a second audiobook to my 2021 release schedule because that’s just how I roll. And sleep is overrated anyway.
Want the latest audiobook updates? Sign up here: https://confirmsubscription.com/h/d/32592A589CE32B00
And here’s another pic of me making faces in the studio, just because that stuff is funny as hell.

New Description: DARE
With this new version, I’m bringing the DARE description more in line with the rest of the series. In other words, it’s now written in Calla’s voice and serves up an extra dose of sass. As a bonus, it’s a blast starting anything off with “beware!”
DARE is now live on Nook, Amazon, GooglePlay, Apple & Kobo
***BEWARE***
If you don’t like pixies, then don’t read this diary.
And if you don’t like feisty pixies who become queen while cherishing their so-called attitude problems? Definitely turn away right now.
I’m a pixie who rules as Queen of the Summer Fae and yet, I’m also the proud owner of a very cheeky personality. What can I say? It works for me. Or it does until an evil sorcerer plans to destroy all of Faerie. The Usurper.
To defeat this deadly mage, I team up with my elf crush, Dare. He’s a Prince of the Winter Realm and just awesome in general. Together, we face this threat like two pointy-eared bosses. Sure, it’s a dangerous quest, but things get way worse when the unthinkable happens…
Dare is kidnapped.
Will I give up? Hell, no. But I will crash an ice polo pony tournament in a bikini. Then I’ll kick some sparkly fairy butt and save the day.
Because that’s how we saucy pixie queens get stuff done.
***A 40,000-word diary written by Calla***

About The Book
I’m Meimi Archer, your regular high school science geek for hire. Sure, it’s dangerous to create high-tech gizmos for a criminal overlord called the Scythe, but I do what I have to in order to keep Mom and me safely off-grid. Ever since the Authority took over the United Americas, you either live inside a domed city (where you’re watched 24-7) or you scrape by on illegal money and hide out in the sticks. Guess what category I fall into?
Long story short, everything’s fine until I screw up a job. Badly. My home slips into two-dimensional space-time. It only lasts for a few seconds, but the move still sets off about a dozen government alarms. If they track me down, Mom and I are good as dead. Long story short, I need to pay someone off, hide the evidence, and keep us safe. Fast.
That’s when a hottie named Thorne materializes in my kitchen. He’s about my age, wears black body armor, and says he came to “this version of Earth” from another planet. We share a bizarre mind-meld moment before he vows to do anything that ensures I survive.
Hey, I’ll take all the help I can get. Plus, Thorne has dimples…
“This kept me on my toes … Be it random science, opening portals to new dimensions, evading capture, doing shady deals with crime bosses, betrayal, the humdrum of school with Lead Camper Dave (snicker), to hot (alien) man-candy sent to help save the day. Pick this up and expect to get sucked in to the Dimension Drift.” – Smada’s Book Smack
This new series is perfect for: fans of urban fantasy, cool science, evil corporations, space operas, dystopian adventure and forbidden romance.

Beholder Series Is Back!!!
I recently tested out placing my beholder series into Kindle Unlimited, which meant it wasn’t available at other retailers. I’m thrilled to announce that the entire series is now off Kindle Unlimited and available on a wide basis again.
Looking for bargain prices on books? I regularly discount my titles. The best way to be alerted of free or on-sale books is to sign up for my newsletter here: https://confirmsubscription.com/h/d/7DA922C4323B2718
Cursed (Book 1)
Elea doesn’t want to be a witch, but she’s been struck by a curse. The only way our heroine can survive is if she embraces her hated Necromancer powers. Elea works hard. Still, success seems just about impossible until a handsome warlock named Rowan offers to help.
Concealed (Book 2)
Elea is now a Grand Mistress Necromancer. Good thing, too. She’ll need all her new powers in order to save her friends from the evil Viscount Gaspard. And her heart? That might belong to Rowan, unless he breaks it forever.
Cherished (Book 3)
Elea is done being a witch. Forget casting spells. Forget saving the realm. Especially, forget how Rowan shattered her trust. Now, Elea wants to go back to life on the farm. Trouble is, someone’s trying to kill her. The only man she doesn’t want to ever see again? That’s the only one who can help her.
Time to see Rowan.
Crowned (Book 4)
The exciting finale of the Beholder series. Elea’s true identity will be revealed… as well as who is the best man to share her future.
Cradled (Book 5)
At last, Elea and Rowan are settling in to their new lives. Trouble is, Rowan is spending a lot of time cleaning up messes from his childhood. And considering the nightmare that was his mother, those are some ugly messes indeed. In fact, the experience is enough to make Rowan vow that he never wants children of his own.
Oops.

Clockwork Igni Cover Reveal
Myla’s adventures are reaching a new phase. In Clockwork Igni, Myla opens something called Pandora’s door. It’s an oopsie that releases a whole bunch of big bads who go on to give Myla trouble, starting with the antagonist for the next book in the series: Lady Reaper. (Yup, it’s Myla v. the Grim Reaper!)
But that’s getting ahead of things. On April 19th, we’ll see the first cover in this new Pandora’s door series. Check my social media for the final cover, and scroll below for more information about the book!
