Gary the Once and Former King is live!

My latest release, Gary the Once and Former King (The Unwanted King #2) is live on Amazon now!

I’ve been working on this book for months, and I have to say, it’s been one of the most fun of my books to write thus far. I’ve loved spending more time with Gary and Magnus, and getting a closer look at how their lives together post-Gary of a Hundred Days worked out.

When I published the first book back in 2022 (😱) I genuinely didn’t think there was any story left that needed to be told, other than perhaps the odd short here or there, but I’ve got 62 000 words right here that say otherwise:


The Kingdom of Estla is in turmoil. Power plays, intrigue, and plots seethe in the corridors of power. And Gary of a Hundred Days, Last of the Tyrant Kings is…well.

He’s dead.

That’s what (almost) everyone thinks, anyway.

As far as Gary’s concerned, they can go ahead and keep thinking it. He’s busy living a whole new life with his beloved Magnus on a homestead in the heartland of Caithen—a kingdom where they don’t want to kill him—and he’s learning all sorts of interesting things about exactly what it means to be a husband and a bondmate.

Okay, he’s trying to learn. It’s turning out to be a lot harder than he thought.

Callin, the ex-stable lad and Gary’s new (first!) best friend, has been less than helpful when it comes to giving Gary the correct advice on how to proceed in intimate matters.

The books Gary ordered for instructional purposes are taking forever to arrive.

And just as he’s starting to make progress in the bedchamber, Gary’s past as the rightful King of Estla rises up once more…

Gary the Once and Former King is a sequel to Gary of a Hundred Days. It’s a low-angst fantasy romantic comedy in which a sheltered ex-king continues to undergo quite the awakening at the hands of his rugged ex-stable master, and everyone’s still way more interested in kissing and romance than in all that rightful heir to the throne business.

And this time?

Gary’s definitely getting his happily ever after.


If that sounds like something you’d be interested in reading, it's available on Amazon now, to buy or in Kindle Unlimited.

Midi Lein Already read it and like it - 5***** :-) Will there be a spin-off or a short-story about Callin?

Isabel Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!😁 I have plenty of thoughts about Callin and what he might get up to in the future--and with whom! Although I don't have any clear plans for him yet, he's a character I've loved writing and would like to spend more time with, so one way or the other he'll probably make an appearance, whether in a short or something longer.
