The Warlord’s Queen (Paranormal Romance)

The Warlord’s Queen (Paranormal Romance)


“Even if shame marked me as history’s fool, I would drag you back into the north, claim a dark, cold cave, and make it warm with our passion.” Mirella, the once slave, now lives a posh existence through a stolen life. Wed to the God-King Kulav, their passionate love transcends all else, yet the dark Warlord is preparing for battle once more. When someone dear to them both dies, the blood spilled will paint the mountains red. But the secret coven of witches can sense the larger storm brewing, the war beyond the battle. The price will be high, and the love between the Warlord and his wife might save the people of Ariste, or condemn them to their doom. **A dark, paranormal romance with a HEA. Full novel length. Mature audiences only, 18+. Suggested to read The Warlord’s Concubine first.** Amazon

Half-a-cent per page is not a living wage for novelists

Half-a-cent per page is not a living wage for novelists


Amazon has made some huge changes to how it’s paying authors for borrows under its Kindle Unlimited program. Previously, all authors were paid the same for all books, regardless of length – an average of $1.39 that has constantly been dropping over the last 6 months. Now, authors will be paid per page read. Some of you may be cheering, saying this is much fairer of a system, and on its face, it appears to be. A novel takes more time to write than a short story, right? So it should be paid higher. As a novelist, I disagree, and I’m going to outline why. I’d really like you to read through this and think about what the logical conclusions will be. I’m going to outline what the payout would have been in June, what it may be in July given the past fund amount and borrow amounts, and what it could be in 3 months time, so stay with me. This is the information we have so far: If this change had gone live in June, Amazon has given us the following information: Base Fund: 11 Million Pages Read: 1.9 Billion Average pages per borrow: 210 (I got this [...]

Outcast: Book 1 & 2

Outcast: Book 1 & 2


The outcasts of society. A brigade of bandits, just eking out survival. Elin is on the run from something worse, though. Life with the bandits is almost tolerable, despite how they treat her. But when snowy isolation grips her small group of travelling companions and emotions start to get more heated, she finds an ally in their leader, Ara’bor. Will he be able – or willing – to protect her from the cruelty of others? Or will it be up to her to fight against a world that was never ready for someone like her? Buy now: Amazon Prelude The past spread out behind Elin like a bottomless pit. A dark crevice that sank into oblivion, the maw of hell itself that ate at her soul. The future, as ever, seemed a short and narrow road with an abrupt end. Yet there were moments where even she, in her short, brutal life, could appreciate the sheer beauty and grandeur of the world. Staring out over the mountains and valleys, the snow-capped tips that pierced the clouds, contrasted to the green fields below. In such a wide and magnificent world, there had to be room for one like her. Part of [...]

The Enforcer: Book 2

The Enforcer: Book 2


In a city run by Vampires, there’s one person standing between order and anarchy — The Enforcer. In the lawless wastelands inhabited by the dregs of a decadent civilization, the demoness, Zwi, keeps the peace. She’s just as hard as any of them, just as desperate to survive, and even more willing to fight for the little slice of heaven that came from a vial or between the sheets. Where criminals reign, she has to be the biggest thug of them all to maintain even a modicum of control. Buy now: Amazon Chapter 1 There may not have been another bomb plot, but the angry masses were angrier and more rowdy by the time the next morning rolled around. Reality had set in and now the rush to find coin to pay for the increased price of rent was frazzling everyone. Zwi found herself busting up more than a few disputes that very nearly threatened the bosses’ property, and even a few noisy gatherings that verged on becoming riotous before she put a stop to them. It was, however, her job as the vampire overlord’s chosen enforcer, and the demoness was grateful for the lack of doldrums. Even if she [...]

It was exclusive with a capital ‘E’. The metal skyscraper towered over the wasteland deserts, though the club itself made no use of the spectacular view. Only at night did the heavy curtains ever part, and so few ever got to see inside. Zwi was invited for one of her rare visits with her boss, an immortal. A vampire. He had come to that land, like the rest of his kind, to live as they wished, in decadence and sinful indulgence, away from the prying eyes of civilization and its rules and order. [...]
