First, I want to thank all of my existing and new subscribers for being a part of my writing journey. I’m truly happy to have you here! My Live chat with Shelly (@chaosandbooktalk) was awesome. We had a great time catching up and finding out who won the giveaway for the signed, sealed paperback copies of Druid, Titan, and Vampire. We had an AMAZING response! Our friends overseas submitted 88 entries, but our domestic US entries reached 649. I was blown away! Many thanks to Shelly for being so wonderful and putting this giveaway together (and typing in all of those names). I had a great time seeing several of my favorite author friends, and making some new ones at the RWA Conference in Anaheim. Looking forward to Austin in 2024! Want to support Independent Authors?

IMPUNDULU releases October 31, 2023! Lubanzi lost it all. A beautiful wife, a rambunctious son, and a beautiful infant daughter, because he could not control his power. The pain became the focus of his existence, and the shifters he was forced to defend them against, the focus of his bitterness and hate.
For centuries he navigated the world and his work with Team Alpha without allowing himself to feel more than obligation, shame, and guilt, until a small, sassy Shifter ignited a spark that would make him question everything.
Leandra could not be more alluring. Confident and sexy, skilled and intelligent, she coaxed the Impundulu from his shell without doing anything more than being herself. She demanded nothing, because she expected nothing. He was no more than a fun moment, a spicy connection…and then, he was everything.
Things in their world, in their work, were developing quickly, with old and new allies beginning to feather into the fold to aid Team Alpha in discovering what they needed to know about defending man and immortal kind from the apocalypse of The Revelation of Jesus.
For his part, because of his blood, the Impundulu must atone for his past to unlock the future. He can only hope that the Shifter will accept him for who he is, be understanding of what he has done, and forgive the journey that brought him to her.

*REVIEW* Saving the Marques by Mihwa LeeMihwa's Saving the Marquess is a great fit for readers who love a slow burn. The lovers take us on a journey that ebbs and flows throughout a Regency setting, including members of society ranging from nobility and upper class, to ladies at the gentlemen's parlor. The path for our hero and heroine is tumultuous, as one would expect, but Mihwa leaves us wondering more about what's to come after their happy ending. This book is good for readers who like a little spice, slow-burn, historical settings, and romance. Click here to find Saving the Marquess today!

Spicy times with Bourbon & Bordeaux! Tenacious new publicist Lovie Whitfield is eager to make her mark. She's about to land the opportunity of a lifetime—an exclusive book tour for an up-and-coming author with a provocative relationship book creating waves across social media. There's just one challenge: Saxon Mitchell, the owner of Kentucky's most sought-after bookstore and bourbon bar, must agree to host the book tour's debut.
Saxon, who is embracing his quiet small town life at The Book Barrel, refuses to entertain the idea of hosting his ex-wife's book signing. He values his privacy and endorsing a book that reveals intimate details about his life is out of the question. He dismisses Lovie's emails, texts, calls, and DMs, hoping she'll respect his boundaries and move on.
But Lovie isn't one to back down easily. In a daring move, she heads to Kissing Springs, KY to meet Saxon in person, setting off sparks that neither can deny.

FALL INTO THE HOLIDAYS WITH G.G. ANDREW! What if you fell for your best friend’s ex—the one that had made her life a living hell? All Zoe had to do was pick up a box of her best friend Haley's things from Haley's brooding ex-husband, Evan. She didn't expect her car to get hit by a snowplow. She didn't expect for the icy Maine blizzard to start early. She didn't expect to be stuck inside Evan's warm cabin—alone with him—on New Year's Eve. And, most of all, she didn't expect to come undone by the heat in Evan's eyes. SOMEWHERE WARM is a short forbidden romance to ring in the New Year — or any other time of year. Although this story is a standalone, Zoe and Evan's story continues in SOMEPLACE SECRET. Click here to find Somewhere Warm!
