2019 Publishing Schedule
2019 Publishing Schedule | Book Release Updates
Below is a timeline and the most recent update of my book releases for 2019.
Subject to change.
DARK PARADISE | A REVELATION SERIES NOVEL
Gage Gallagher’s book will tentatively release in May 2019. It will be available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Dark Paradise is a standalone book. However, it is recommended that you read The Revelation Series before this book, so you have the background and history of the characters. For a better reading experience, it is also recommended to read The Royal Protector Academy series prior.
A KING RISES | A ROYAL PROTECTOR ACADEMY NOVELLA
Zander and Magali’s story will release SUMMER 2019 in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. This is a standalone novella, but it is highly recommended that you read The Royal Protector Academy Series before this, as this is a novella within that series and won’t make sense if you don’t have the history and/or background of the characters.
PRISON OF ASRIA | A HAVENWOOD FALLS S&S NOVELLA
Prison of Asria is releasing on July 19, 2019. This will be my last Havenwood Falls book which is releasing within the Sin&Silk line, featuring Roman Bishop. It will be available in paperback and ebook.
LEVIATHAN | THE DARK SOUL SERIES FINALE
Leviathan is slated to release in Winter 2020. Leviathan is the final book in the Dark Soul Series. It will be available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. A date will be given closer to release.
NEW PROJECTS!
Shallow is a standalone, adult contemporary romance novel slated to release in the Summer/Fall of 2019 . It will be available on paperback and ebook, and audiobook.
The Monster Ball Anthology, I’m excited to announce I will be back at the ball this year. My short story will be featured in this year’s anthology which is releasing at the end of October 2019.
The Isle of Darkness is a standalone, new adult paranormal romance novel based off the short story featured in The Monster Ball Anthology. Striker and Umbria’s story is slated to release in 2020. It will be available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.
Valor, the first book within The Knightress Series is coming! Valor is a Young Adult, High-Fantasy Trilogy. I’m hoping to release it in 2020. I will keep you updated!
PREORDERS and RELEASE DATES
Please note that in both 2019 and 2020 preorders will be live within 7-days in advance of release (vs. 6-12 months in advance). There will also be no release date announcements until we’re within 7-days of title release. These decisions were made to alleviate stress with my editorial and creative teams!
Thank you guys so much for another amazing year. I couldn’t do any of this without your ongoing love and support. I feel lucky to have been invited in your 2018 literary life and look forward to more in 2019, and beyond!
xoxo Randi

IF | A Novel Is Live!
IF | A Novel Is LIVE!
“If you think that cover is hot wait til you read this book. It’s way hotter! I’m so lost for words! This book literally had me captivated, swooning, broke me, healed me, and left me a crumbling mess! So many emotions so empowering. This is my first book by this author and sure as heck won’t be my last!” – Goodreads Review, 5 Stars!
If you knew love would hurt you, would you fall?
If you knew love would leave you, would you let it go?
If you knew love could never be, would you try?
The ifs that linger between the pages of this novel will break your heart and stay with you long after the final chapter.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Emerson Shaw thought she’d left her old life behind her, but when she returns home for her best friend’s wedding, she has no idea her past is waiting to reclaim her.
Dark and broken, Lincoln Daniels never wanted to find love. But when he met straight-laced Emerson, he fell. Hard. The only thing they seemed to have in common was an undeniable mutual attraction, but from the moment he laid eyes on her, there was something about her that called to him. Until he lost her.
Consumed by their pasts, it took years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces of their what ifs. Just when Emerson is finally ready to let go and stop existing in a past full of pain and regret, Lincoln returns, turning her life upside down. What begins as a tentative friendship quickly escalates, and the two soon realize that all the ifs lingering between them no longer matter.
What happens when two broken people meet, fall in love, and realize they can never be? What happens when all the what ifs no longer make sense? If you knew your heart would break, would you still fall? This book is intended for mature audiences

If you find yourself a fortunate recipient best to keep it to yourself. There are some who would kill for the chance to attend. Because as every good monster knows… what happens at the ball, stays at the ball.
