Last Shadow Blurb Update

So, I’ve been revamping Last Shadow’s blurb. What do you think? 

 

“My life wasn’t perfect but at least it was mine. Now, I live in hell and owned by others. I fell for a guy who promised me the world and sold me for five kilos of cocaine. I want nothing more than to end this existence of abuse and slavery. I’m not weak. I’m not giving up. I’m just done.”

Owned. Possessed. Used.

Lyric is a whore. After three years as a pawn in a high class game of bastards and sex, she’s had enough. Every hope and dream she’s ever had is inked on her skin—a reminder of why she should stay alive. But she’s lost all hope and the moment she runs out of flesh to tattoo, Lyric will find freedom. Freedom by death. As her last breath fast approaches, she needs nothing and no one…until him. 

Kage was born to be one thing: a killer. Trained from birth, he’s an expert in blood and extermination—the last shadow his victims ever see. He’s the best at his profession; a ruthless, unfeeling assassin. He needs nothing and no-one…until her. 

A man who lives to kill and a woman who wants to die. A serendipitous match…or so they thought.

**A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to slavery, cruelty, and non-consensual sex. A story about a killer with no remorse, a woman living in nightmares, and a future that binds them in servitude.**

 

GOODREADS

 

Soppy Thank you

Be prepared for a soppy post. 

I’m not a soppy person by nature–you’ve read my work–I love to torture my characters, and often think my imagination needs more flowers and butterflies instead of darkness and chains-however, ever since I took the plunge and decided to publish my work, I’ve never felt more a part of any community or friendships as I have with the blogger, reviewer, reader, author networks.

I’m humbled on a daily basis with amazing emails and messages from people liking my work. I’m blown away by the support and generosity from bloggers and brought to soppy happiness at the way most authors stick together and help each other. 

I never expected my work to touch anyone. I never expected to become a bestseller or reach the amount of people I have. Every day is a dream and every day people surprise me. 

For instance, five wonderful people have been inspired by my work so much, they designed a tattoo based on Tears of Tess. I don’t think any author can have such a high accolade than a fan loving their words and story so much they’re inspired to ink it permanently on their skin. 

One such tattoo has just arrived in my inbox from a very special lady who has gone above and beyond for me with swag making, emails, beta reading, and just generally being an amazing cheerleader. I didn’t know she was doing this but I have to say for the first time in my life I was speechless. I won’t say who this is unless she wants to claim the fame, but I HAD to share this amazing tattoo with you all. 

Thank you to each and everyone of you. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for making my dream come true. Thank you for loving my work. Thank you for allowing my words to touch you, inspire you, and capture a part of your mind.

YOU make writing all worthwhile and know that every word I type is because of your love and support.

Teaser! :)

Here is a quick Teaser to Quintessentially Q.

 

 “You need me like I need you. I get it,” she murmured.

I ducked and nuzzled her throat, teeth aching to break her skin and lick. “And why is that?” My hand reached to cup her neck, not

squeezing—just a gentle coax, reminding her she was in my power.

Her mouth opened and her body melted against mine. “Because…”

My body burned for her; my ears strained for her answer. “Because…” I licked her lips, begging her to finish her sentence. I had to hear why she cared. It meant the world to me.

I would never have cared about another person loving me before. Now, I needed it more than anything.

Tess kissed me back, whispering into my mouth. “Because you’re my monster in the dark, and I’m yours.”
