Quotes Round-Up: BACULUM

When I’m writing a book, I keep a running list of the quotes that make me LOL or have deep feels. Here are my favorite lines from my latest release, BACULUM!And if you want to take a closer look at BACULUM, you can see it now on retailers like GooglePlay,  Amazon,  AppleBooks,  Kobo & Nook …

Watch Lincoln battle Norse monsters in the Viking Games!

As King of the Thrax, Lincoln leads the most powerful demon fighting force in the after-realms… yet he cherishes nothing more than his Angelbound love, Myla. Which is why the king loses his freaking mind when the sinister Ringmaster Kell targets his pregnant wife.

So. Not. Happening.

Ringmaster Kell runs the infamous Viking Games, a series of battles where participants take on the identity of a Norse monster and fight to the death. Sounds good to Lincoln. The king sets aside his crown and enters the arena with one goal only: destroy Ringmaster Kell.

Sometimes, a warrior just needs to ignite his baculum sword and kick a ton of evil ass. But is Lincoln protecting Myla or walking into a trap?

Perfect for readers who love Vikings, Norse mythology, hot princes and cool heroines.

My typical writing day, COVID style

Ever wonder how writing processes have changed with COVID? My kid is home from school these days (curse you, pandemic!) so this is now my typical writing day, COVID style…

Early Morning – Our family consists of me, my husband Matt and our son Max. At some wee hour, my son slams the door open and says “Uppie!” This is his way of saying “get up already!” From there, my husband and I switch off who watches our son… and who does their respective day jobs. My husband works from an office in the basement. I write in a pair of places: one, the orange couch downstairs; or two, in bed where I am surrounded by an obnoxious amount of pillows. Ah, pillows.

Morning-Morning – I make my son breakfast and check the basics of my writing business, such as my sales numbers and social media stuff. Mostly I field questions from my son about cookies, namely where are the cookies? When can I have some more cookies? Sometimes rice krispie bars are also mentioned.

Note: my son is fifteen and has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. Although he isn’t super verbal, he has many ways of making his needs known. For instance, he can use sign language to ask for a cookie like a pro.

Late Morning – My husband and son go on a walk. Writing time!

Afternoon – Distance learning with my husband and son. This involves Zoom video calls and lots of cheering on. When we aren’t distance learning, there are more cookie requests.

Dinner – The fam goes on a car ride for take out.

Post Dinner – My husband and son go to the park. Writing time, part two! Sometimes I write all night, but I’ve been trying to avoid that lately. After all, a good night’s sleep is a great way to stay healthy.

So there you have it: my writing day during the era of COVID. Bottom line? It involves sharing the couch as well as a shocking amount of cookies. See action pic below.

Cover Reveal – FIRE AND CINDER (Magicorum #6)

Great news! The story of Elle—never call her Cinderella—continues with FIRE AND CINDER (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #6).Be sure to check out the cover and description below!

Fire And Cinder (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum 6)

SEE IT ON: Amazon / GooglePlay / Apple / Kobo / Nook

Meet the Magicorum: modern folks who are supernaturally locked into fairy tale life templates. For eighteen-year-old Elle, that role is Cinderella. Meanwhile, Agatha is her evil stepsister. Things go downhill from there…

Cinderella On The Run
Elle—never call her Cinderella—has found the love of her life in Alec Le Charme, the prince of a jewelry dynasty. But when Alec gets spirited away, Elle must ditch her Manhattan home for the perilous Faerie Lands. To save Alec, Elle must also swap her glass slippers for a flying carpet. But will switching templates from Cinderella to Aladdin snap Elle’s sanity?

Whatever. Bring on the straight jacket. Elle is one Cinderella who’s determined to save her prince, no matter what.

Evil Stepsister or Elf Queen?
Agatha always accepted her role as Elle’s evil stepsister. Then her life template changes from nasty sibling to evil elf queen. Agatha has one thought on that score. Thanks but no thanks. Agatha refuses the regal life, even though stepping away from her crown means ignoring her lifelong attraction to the elf prince, Jacoby.

Then everything changes. Agatha discovers that Elle’s life is at risk… and the only way to save her Cinderella is by teaming up with Jacoby. Trouble is, that’s a lot of togetherness. Working with Jacoby could easily end in disaster, not only for Agatha’s heart, but also for Elle and Alec’s lives.

Cover Reveal – DARE (Pixieland Dairies #3)

I’m so excited to share the cover and description for DARE, book #3 in my Pixieland Diaries series!

Dare (Book 3 of the Pixieland Diaries)

See It On: Amazon / GooglePlay / Apple / Nook / Kobo

What happens when a pixie outcast seizes the throne of Faerie… while her beloved elf prince becomes a wanted criminal?

Sassy pixie Calla loves the prankster life, even if it does make her an outcast among other fae. But everything changes when Calla’s magic erases an evil blight destroying the Faerie realm. That’s when the pariah pixie becomes something unexpected: a Fae Queen.

Yet no sooner does Calla take the crown than a new and unstoppable plague appears. Things get even worse when Calla’s longtime crush, the elf Prince ‘Dare’ Darius, appears to have masterminded the outbreak before fleeing to the mountains. According to the Faerie elders, there’s only one way to end this disease…

Calla must hunt down Dare and destroy him.

Yeah. Like that will ever happen.

Instead of killing anyone, Calla vows to cure the plague while proving Dare’s innocence. And if she must pull a few mega-pranks to make it all happen? Not a problem. Even so, the path ahead is still fraught with trouble. Secret enemies scheme to manipulate the outbreak—as well as Calla’s feelings for Dare—in order to bring our favorite prankster down, once and for all.

My Fave Quotes from MACK

Here are some of my favorite quotes from my book, MACK (Angelbound Offspring #6)

The story includes dragons, vampires and the hidden city of El Dorado. Threats abound and secrets are revealed in this exciting conclusion to the story of Kaps and Mack. Scroll to the end for a full book description!

About MACK (Angelbound Offspring #6)
To order: Amazon / Nook / Kobo / Google Play / Apple Books

I’m Mack, a regular human who happens to run a secret league of vampire hunters. For most of my nineteen years, my daily routine has been to kill bloodsuckers, rinse and repeat.

But if I thought the vampires were trouble before, now stuff is about to get downright apocalyptic.

Why? The clock is ticking. The magical city of El Dorado will reopen soon. And once that happens, the vampire leader, Roman, will enter and create an army of bloodsuckers who do more than just kill humans—these vamps also take the shape of the last person they murdered. With thousands of supernatural warriors behind him, Roman will wipe out humankind and repopulate the world with vampires.

Not on my watch.

Trouble is, Roman knows I’m coming for him, so he’s targeting the woman I love, Kaps. There’s no way I’m putting her in danger, so I tell Kaps we’re through and go after Roman on my own.

But my woman is a badass dragon shifter who wants to end Roman as much as I do. When it comes to saving humanity, Kaps won’t let anyone stop her.

Even me.

“Mack is a force unto himself. And Mack with Kaps is phenomenal.”  – Phoebe’s Randoms
