RELEASE DAY - Au lever de la lune bleue

Today is release day for the French language translation of book 2 in my Moonlight Prophecies series, which features one of my favorite characters, wolf shifter Bari, and Jay, the Alpha wolf shifter he is determined to make his.

Blue Moon Rising is now also Au lever de la lune bleue.

Les fiançailles rompues de l’Alpha Jay Russell pourraient bien être la meilleure chose qui lui soit arrivée. Le jumeau de son ex-fiancé, Bari, est beaucoup plus son type et franc dans son flirt et son désir d’unir leurs meutes.

Jay rentre chez lui après ses mésaventures à Centrus City avec une nouvelle prophétie, un ennemi inconnu et des conflits entre tribus à la suite d’une série de meurtres racistes. Furieux, Jay est déterminé à traduire le responsable en justice, mais les troubles bouleversent la paix fragile qu’il s’est efforcé de mettre en place, menacent la vie de son nouvel amant et sapent sa position d’Alpha, ce qui rend l’enquête difficile.

Jay et Bari peuvent-ils travailler ensemble pour combattre leurs démons intérieurs – et un étrange adversaire déterminé à faire revivre le passé – ou la méfiance et les machinations politiques vont-elles les déchirer ?

Blue Moon Rising now in FRENCH as Au lever de la lune bleue

Did you know you can read the first of the Moonlight Prophecies books in French, starting with By the Red Moonlight as Au clair de lune rouge?

Book 2 in Moonlight Prophecies, Blue Moon Rising, or Au lever de la lune bleue, releases next Tuesday, and you can preorder it now.

Shifters, magic, and vampires, oh my, in this multi-couple series.

What flags do your characters fly?

Sasha, the titular character from The Incubus Saga, sees the attraction of any and all people and has bedded all kinds - but only loved one.

Nathan... maybe needs some convincing about his bi-awakening at the start, but he gets there, even if it's mostly only Sasha who changed his tune. https://mybook.to/incubussaga

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH.

Reviews for Gardening with a Ghost Audiobook are GLOWING

Wow, just wow. THANK YOU.

I know my little ghosty romance, Gardening with a Ghost, has been a reader favorite, which already made me so happy, but to see the audiobook being so enjoyed, an experiment really, producing the narration in a way not usually done, means so much.

Thank you again to fellow narrators Kevin Earlywine and Curtis Michael Holland, and for all of Kevin's additional toiling to bring our three voices together so beautifully.

Release Day - Void Dancer

Void Dancer, 4th Tale from the Gemstone Kingdoms, is out now!

A brilliant inventor, Enzo Dragonbane has plenty to hide, including his secret identity as the recently deceased king’s bastard son. But he’s not half as mysterious as Cullen, the man he finds in the caverns. Cullen has no memories at all.

Cullen doesn’t know who he is or how he got there, and he certainly doesn’t know anything about his strange shadow powers. But he soon learns that memories or not, magic or not, the Ruby Kingdom stands on the brink of civil war. A lower-class group called the Ashen is poised to take advantage of the power vacuum caused by the king’s death to fight for equality.

Soon Enzo and Cullen find themselves in the midst of a revolution. As they untangle Cullen’s past, they discover they have much in common. But if they’re to have any hope of a peaceful life together, they’ll have to discover the secret of controlling Cullen’s abilities, take sides in the coming fight, and face up to the truth of who they really are.

With the focus on a new couple, the fourth installment of this fantasy, fairy tale, MM romance series also sees all previous couples and kingdoms unite in a singular cause, and paves the way for the culmination of the series in the coming book five.

Silhouette NOW on Audible

The audiobook for Silhouette, narrated beautifully by Kevin Earlywine, complete with an original song (which you can download for FREE) is now finally available on Audible.

This MM romance short has suspense, burlesque, and an MC who's never been touched. eBook on Kindle Unlimited and pocket paperback coming later this month.

Mob boss Gael Pierce has recently taken over the territory of Xavier Trabeaux, better known as Mr. X. While cataloging his acquisitions, Gael stumbles upon a gem he didn’t expect—Silhouette, the headliner for a burlesque club who gives even better performances in the back rooms. There’s just one catch: he is completely untouchable, and Gael vows to get to the bottom of why and how he might change that.

1 Month until Void Dancer Releases on 5/2/23

We are now 1 month away from the release of Void Dancer, 4th Tale from the Gemstone Kingdoms, up for preorder now with all three previous books FREE on Kindle Unlimited:

Cullen kissed him, and his shadows pulsed forth with such a great wave of desire, different than the hunger he’d thought he felt before, that Enzo squirmed up against him in obvious pleasure and feverishly kissed him back.

Cullen did want to consume. Enzo’s lips. His body. His very being. He wanted it all.

So he never had to remember the void.

And thank you to Lily Pavenent for the first review (with spoilers).

I loved this book so much, it's certainly my favorite of the tales so far!

"A bluish-purple tentacle rose over the side, and Daren was so startled, he nearly fell back like when he’d first seen Lilo in the water. He froze, understanding that this was a part of Lilo and that he maybe wasn’t exactly a merman."
