Release Day | Frostbite

It’s release day!!! Frostbite is out today AND since it’s part of JMS Book’s Advent Calendar, it’s free TODAY. But only today, so don’t snooze!   

It’s been a year since I had a release as Ofelia. I’ve had plenty as Holly, but she has been hogging all my time, so very little has been left. That being said, of all the stories I’ve written these last twelve months, this is one of my favorites   

It’s short, it’s quite silly, and I love it.  

Noel has a cold case podcast together with his best fr...

Guest Post | Disguised as Human

Hiya!  

I’m sneaking in a November story on this first of December! Soon, there will be advent calendar stories coming, but yesterday Holly’s Disguised as Human was released   

It’s the fourth story in the Within the Walls series, and it celebrates National Mason Jar Day, which is observed annually on November 30th. Is National Mason Jar Day a strange day to write a story for? Maybe. But in the community, they have a lot of Mason jars, and someone has to bring order among them.  

That’s where Ja...

Read Around the Rainbow | Retellings

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time!!! On the last Friday of every month, we’re a group of authors who get together and blog on the same topic. This month we’re talking retellings.

This is not my area of expertise… at all. I actually wrote a retelling of The Three Snake Leaves by the Brothers Grimm nine years ago. It’s saved somewhere on my computer LOL.

An author friend of mine saw a submission call. You were to say you were interested, and they’d give you a Grimm fairy tale to turn into a roman...

Cover Reveal | Frostbite

I have a cover!!! It’s been a while since I did a cover reveal on this blog. It’s been a year since I released anything as Ofelia, so…  

But December is just around the corner, and with December comes JMS Books’ Advent Calendar. I’ve written a story for it. Frostbite is a short contemporary story about Noel and Bo, and I have to say that it’s one of my favourites this year. I had so much fun writing it!  

Since it’s part of the Advent Calendar, it won’t be available for preorder anywhere, so fo...

Guest Post | Kiss a Vampire by Holly Day

Holly has a new box set out!!! Kiss a Vampire contains three stories – A Vampire Chew Toy, Bring Him Back, Jack, and Vampire Food.   

All of them have vampires in them, which might not be surprising considering the title A Vampire Chew Toy is about Devin, who is human, and Mars, who is a vampire. I wrote the story to celebrate National M&M Day, so prepare for M&Ms.  

Bring Him Back, Jack is about Ivan, a shadow walker, and Malik, a vampire. I wrote it to celebrate Different Colored Eyes Day, so...

Read Around the Rainbow | Monsters

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time! On the last Friday of every month, we’re a bunch of authors who get together and blog on the same topic, and in honour of Halloween, we’re talking monsters this time around.  

The majority of what I write is paranormal, but for the most part, I’m sticking to the ‘normal’ creatures. You know, vampires and shifters and such. I don’t know if I’d call them monsters. Maybe. I don’t know if I have a favourite monster. When I was younger, I’d have said vampires were ...

Guest Post | The Jaguar’s Knife by Holly Day

Hiya! I’m here as Holly today A few days ago The Jaguar’s Knife was released. It’s the third story in the Within the Walls series, and while there is a new couple in every book, I strongly suggest you read them in order.  

The first one is Vampire Food, which is about Rue, a magic user, and Noah, a vampire.  

The second is about Easy, Kitten which is about Chaton, a latent cat shifter, and Asher, an annoying vampire with few to no boundaries.  

And when you’ve read those, you might want to rea...
