In honor of the last season of book 2 starting at BigWorldNetwork.com this month, you can get the eBook of book 1 of The Incubus Saga FREE today and tomorrow, and more FREE days are coming in March.

Now that the true villain of the story has been revealed for those following the series, here's a look at his smug, sexy self.

The Incubus eBook, book 1 in The Incubus Saga, is available FREE today thru Saturday. A long three days to celebrate the start of Spring.

As Nathan, Sasha, Jim, and Alex enter the final chapters of Book 2 at BigWorldNetwork.com, here's a teaser image.




Red on black for Malak, a yellow/amber for Jim, white for Jim at the end of Book 2 (muwahahaha!), and black for Shadow Immortals.

To Drako from Amazon, THANK YOU for this wonderful review!

"I was instantly in love with this story. I was wondering through the beginning if the Incubus would turn out to be a dark Fae that the brothers have to get rid of. Instead, the Incubus is my favorite. Not to say the twins aren't great as well. They are awesome. Jim is a changeling, which is apparently not such a great thing and the cause of him being hunted. Nathan is his twin brother, human, and is the epitome of brotherly devotion and love. Rough around the edges, sure, and clearly at home in the sex department. The twist is, Nathan's straight, but when faced with the Incubus, Sasha, it became clear that he wouldn't get to stay that way. Nathan is a bit more sarcastic, very blunt and direct, and I love that about him. He's loving, but not emotional, displaying his frustrations quite simply at several points throughout the book. The budding romance mixed with the conflict of the nature of Sasha, plus the fact that Jim is a much wanted changeling by the Fae dark court, made this a book I absolutely had to fly through once I started. The author should definitely get on putting out the next book."

And you're in luck, because Changeling - The Incubus Saga: Book 2 is set to release in just a couple weeks. Just waiting on seeing the proof copies before I announce the official date.

Working on the next Incubus book has me nearly pulling my hair out, I'll admit, not because I'm not excited - I am SO excited, because it is SO good, I'm so happy with my final revisions - but the bad reviews are bound to come in with the good, just like they did the first time, and it is not easy to get through that.

There is nothing more disheartening than a negative review, even if it isn't all hate. But there is also nothing more uplifting than a positive one like Drako's.

We all need to remember that we can't please everyone. There will always be someone who says the exact opposite in a review that everyone else is saying, the important thing is to take what you can that can better your writing, and leave the rest in the dirt where it belongs.

It's almost time for my first set of FREE eBook days on Amazon for new title Changeling.

I decided to have it start this coming Monday, July 28th, which also happens to be...my 30th birthday. So as a birthday present to me, I encourage those of you who haven't yet read Changeling to consider getting it for free...and maybe offering a review on Goodreads and Amazon if you enjoy it.

The FREE days will be Monday thru Friday next week. You lovely fans are the first to know about it!

While my Enchanted Book Promotions blog tour is now over, my Paranormal Cravings tour continues, with a few more reviews still on the way. One recent one also gave a hotness rating. :-)

"Unique point of view. M/M romance with fantasy flair. Changelings, demons, succubi, incubi, and humans all love, fight, and experience loss together. These stories are sexy and thrilling. I give [Incubus and Changeling] 4 out of 5 [stars] and a chili pepper rating of 7 out of 10." - Mindy Wall

And for those of you following along with The Incubus Saga on BigWorldNetwork.com...I am NOT taking a break but will be continuing straight on with Season 10. I want to get the third and final book out next Summer and made sure I found the writing and editing time to get the new season ready.

Here's to success in my next decade of life, and to all of you as well!

Here we are, today, marking the airing of the very last episodes of Incubus.

Three years of running it on BigWorldNetwork, nearly eight since I first started writing it. It has been an amazing ride, and I cannot wait to get this last finished book out to you.

I've changed so much from what is posted on the site, fixed so many things, most of which because some of my amazing readers took the time to point something out that I looked at more carefully when doing final edits.

THAT is why I love BWN's serialized method, because telling a good story becomes a community project that evolves and changes and becomes something even better when the final book is ready for purchase.

Today I want to say thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my evil, cliffhanger-happy heart. I nearly forgot what day it was until it hit me, and stopped me short, causing my heart to beat loud and wild as I stopped what I was doing and listened to the audio of the very last episodes, the very last words...

So before I start weeping all over my keyboard...til next time.

Once again I will be attending Wizard World Minneapolis, and you can find me (and my books) in Artist Alley. The convention is this coming weekend, May 1-3 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. I’ll have copies of both Incubus and Changeling, and will happily sign any copies purchased.

I will also be on the lookout for artists as I continue my tradition of purchasing an art commission at the convention. As The Incubus Saga is coming to a close this year, with the final book out in July (I think I may have said June somewhere at some point, which is incorrect) my goal is to get something Incubus related…but I don’t know what I want!

I have had SO MUCH Incubus fanart over the years, provided for me, and that I commissioned myself, so it’s tough to decide what to get.



I suppose I don’t have anything of Jim. Maybe something simple of the three boys all together?

Help me decide, folks! I’d love some suggestions, and of course I’ll scan and share the art as soon as I have it.

And if you’re in the Minneapolis area, please consider stopping by the con and seeking me out. I’ll be at the BigWorldNetwork.com table.

In the end I should have known who I would commission to draw my anniversary finale fanart for The Incubus Saga, as she stayed with me for Wizard World Minneapolis Comic Con this year, along with other friends:

Comic author/artist Katie Shaw, creator of Dragon Child.

Katie and I attended college together, and one of my most cherished pieces of art is a picture she did back then of me glomping on my favored character at the time, Valykrie (his story is a screenplay, but I might write it as prose someday).

So after scouring Artist Alley on day one of the con, I realized that night that what I would really love is a recreation of that art but with Sasha and Nathan.



It's perfect, and has the extra weight of also being an ode to that long ago art from Katie as well. Now all that remains is to prepare for the release of book 3, Sidhe, and to continue writing my next story.

Thank you again, all of you, so much for being a part of this journey with me, and thank you to Katie for this beautiful art.

For more on Wizard World, check out the BWN recap for details, and this awesome image of part of our giant Game of Thrones cosplay group which was featured on The Escapist. I love being Margaery Tyrell.

I've already gotten a little teary-eyed several times just looking over the final interior and working with artist Mario Hernandez on the cover design, and finally, with less than a week before the release of the last book in my trilogy, The Incubus Saga, I am ready to share this beauty with all of you.

Stay tuned for the official release July 2nd, and get your preorder copy of the eBook now!
