Happy Saturday! I have another weekly teaser for you! 💙 It’s another new one from Pirates of Aletharia (a.k.a. – Lesbians, Pirates, and Dragons). I hope you like it! 💙
Emilia’s been a pirate for less than a day, and already, her captain’s eviscerated two people in front of her. She’s starting to question her choices. (Just a little.) 😅
I hope you have a great weekend! 💙
Happy Spring, y’all! 💙 For my northern hemisphere folks, anyway. Autumn for the rest of you, right? 💙
I’m sorry for being so absent lately. It’s been a little over a month since my mother was found dead, and . . . obviously, it was hard to go back to business as usual after that.
But I’m doing a little better this month, and I’ve been making a lot of progress on my Lesbians, Pirates, and Dragons book—which is tentatively called Pirates of Aletharia?
We’ll see if that title sticks. 😅
Anyway, I have a new teaser to share with you this week! 💙 I hope you like it! 💙
Here’s Maria being all, “Let me just start a whole dang war for the woman I swear I’m not in love with.” 😅
I hope you have a great weekend! 💙💙💙💙
Happy Valentine’s Day from the most romantic of murderous Viking vampires. 😅
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I hope your day is wonderful, whether you spend it alone or with someone you love. Sending lots of love to you all. 🖤

Happy Teaser Day! I have a new teaser from Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons for you! ❤️ Or, possibly, Pirates of Aletharia?
I haven’t decided whether Pirates of Aletharia would be the name of the book or the series, but it’ll be one of them. 😅
I hope you’re all doing well, and I hope you have a great weekend! ❤️

It’s February, which means romantic stuff, right? Like flowers and murder? 😅
Happy Teaser Day, and I hope you all have a great weekend! 💙
I hope you all had a good holiday and a good start to the year. 💛 I missed a few of our Teaser Days during the holidays (and the craziness that followed), but I’m…back now, I guess? 😅
I’m still working on the lesbian pirate book, and I can’t wait to share more of that with you. 💛 But until then, here’s some more Rose and Kara. 💛 Happy Teaser Day! Stay safe. 💛
I have the coolest news to share this week! ❤️
I found out this week that The Reign of Darkness was voted Best Paranormal Romance on a Best Lesfic of 2020 list! ❤️
I’m so amazed and grateful (and sort of in shock, still 😅). I poured my whole soul into that book (and series), and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to know that people enjoyed it. ❤️
I love you all so much. Thank you for giving Rose and Kara a place in your hearts. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
And be sure to check out the whole list! There are lots of awesome lesfic authors on there! ❤️

Kara has a habit of sleeping with her favorite weapons.
(And yes, that includes Rose. 😅)
Happy Teaser Day! 🖤 And stay safe! 🖤
Rose might be a mess, but at least she knows it. 😅
Happy Teaser Day! 🖤 Stay safe! 🖤
I missed a few teaser days, but here are my pirates again. 🏴☠️🌈
I’m still working on the first draft of this book, which means it’s too early to say when it’ll be finished. But I’m working really hard on it. 🖤
I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe! Happy Teaser Day! 🖤
There are two kinds of people. 😅
Happy Teaser Day! 🖤💜🖤
Happy Halloween! 🖤🎃🖤
I know I haven’t been on here in a while. Sorry about that. I went through a pretty rough patch of depression. But…I’m feeling a little better now, and I plan to be more active in November! (I do have some lesbian pirates to share with you, after all! 🖤)
I hope you’re having a great Spooky Day, and as always, here’s our traditional Alana teaser! 🧛♀️🖤
Happy National Coming Out Day to everyone who is coming out, already out, or not ready to come out yet! No matter which category you’re in, you’re just as valid and just as worthy of acceptance and love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Sometimes, hiding the truth from others, or even yourself, is a matter of survival, and sometimes, coming out is a matter of survival. When I first came out to a few people I trusted, that’s what it was for me—a last ditch effort at just…surviving. I was so suicidal, and I felt like holding the truth inside had poisoned the air I breathed. But I also didn’t feel safe coming out to most people I knew. So, I came out to only a few people—people that I knew weren’t cruel or hateful, people who didn’t make me afraid. And it saved my life.
Eventually, I’d written books about queer women and had enough of an online presence that most everyone knew, and there was no point in hiding it anymore. And that was so freeing! 💙 But in the beginning, it was terrifying.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t STILL terrifying.
I’m sharing this for this reason: if this is you, if you feel like you’ll die if you have to bottle it up for one more day, but don’t feel safe coming out, let me know. I’ll be your substitute friend or family. I’ll tell you you’re perfect, just as you are, and worthy of love, just as you are.
Because I’ve been there, and someone did the same for me. We lose too many LGBTQ people to suicide, and I desperately don’t want that to be you. No matter who you are, I want you to know that I love you and want you to be here. Take care of yourselves, whether that means coming out or not. 💙
Happy International Lesbian Day from your awkward, neighborhood lesbian! 🏳️🌈
And in honor of International Lesbian Day, here’s my lesbian, Viking warrior vampire, reminding us all to be proud of who we are. 🧡💖🧡💖
When you introduce your girlfriend to your pet and then threaten to feed her to it… 😅
Another new one from my lesbian pirate book. 🏴☠️🌈
Happy Teaser Day! 💜
Happy Bi Visibility Day to all of my bisexual friends and readers! 💖💜💙 You’re amazing and valid and valued, and I hope you all feel extra-valued today! 💖💜💙
And in honor of the day, here’s a pretty bi line from my bisexual, vampire protagonist, Rose Foster. 😅💜
Here’s the fantasy world map I made for my lesbian pirate book! 🏴☠️🌈 With color and without! And unfinished, obviously. 😅
Emilia, our witch-turned-pirate, is from Drakon Isle. Catherine, the ex-girlfriend who arrested her, is from the Illopian Kingdom. And our lovely pirate captain, Maria, was born in Aevaria, raised in Illopia, and now lives at sea. 🏴☠️
I think this might be my favorite world-building thing I’ve ever tried. 🖤 It was so time-consuming—but also so much fun! 🖤
Rose handles jerks with sarcasm, and her girlfriend handles them with dismemberment. Minor differences, you know? 😅
Happy Teaser Day! ❤️
They’re not countless if you’re good at math. 😜
Happy Teaser Day! ❤️
Here are my lesbian pirates again! 🏴☠️🌈
I really think y’all are going to enjoy Judith. I know I do. 😂💙
I hope you’re all doing well! 💙 Happy Teaser Day! 💙
Admittedly. 😜
This is another snippet from my new project (lesbian pirates)—which has been a lot of fun so far! 💙
(Update on the title: The good news is…I’ve narrowed my choices down to two. The bad news is…I’m not entirely happy with either of them. 😂😂😂)
Happy (belated) Teaser Day, and I hope you have a great weekend! 💙
Another new one from the lesbian pirate book I’m working on. 🏴☠️🌈
Happy Teaser Day! 💙
(And umm, again…I swear I’ll give it a real title. Eventually. 😅)
I hope you’re all staying safe, and I hope you have a great weekend! 💙
My pirate captain has some explaining to do. 😂
Another new one for you! Happy Teaser Day! 🖤🖤🖤
And before you ask, no, that is not the real title. I’m struggling, okay? 😅
I hope you have a great weekend! 🖤🖤🖤
One of my favorite scenes in The Reign of Darkness. 🖤💙🖤💙
(I cried so much when I wrote this chapter! 😭)
Happy (belated) Teaser Day, and I hope you have a great weekend! 💙
I’m a little late (again) because of internet troubles (again). Thursdays are clearly bad luck. 😅 Buuuuuut…I have something new for you! 💙 I’ve been working on my lesbian pirate WIP a lot lately, and I finally felt comfortable enough to share a scene this week! 💙
(Keep in mind this is definitely a rough draft, still. 😅)
I haven’t decided on a title for it yet. In my computer, it’s called Lesbians, Pirates, and Dragons, but uhh…obviously, that’ll change. 😂 But it follows Emilia, a dragon-commanding sorceress who joins a pirate crew—and Captain Maria Welles, the pirate captain she’s totally not in love with (wink, wink). These characters are so much fun, and I can’t wait to tell you more about them. But for now…here’s a fun scene:
In which my witch-turned-pirate threatens to steal my pirate captain’s ship—and my pirate captain is simultaneously appalled and…into it??? 😂 Like I said, they’re fun. 😂 Happy Teaser Day! 💙
(P.S. – Ignore the title in the teaser. I change it like once a week. 😅)
Happy Teaser Day! 💚
I haven’t started making teasers for my next book yet. So, today is another one from The Reign of Darkness. 🧛♀️🌈
But I do have some aesthetics and character pictures for the new project to share with you soon. So, keep an eye out for those! 💚 I’ve also been talking about my new project on Twitter. 💚
I hope you have a great weekend! 💚
Happy last day of Pride Month! 🏳️🌈
I completely forgot to share our teaser on Thursday, so for the last teaser of Pride Month, here’s Kara being “very proud of herself” …instead of preparing for an apocalypse. 😂

Always relevant, I think, but definitely right now. ❤️

And if you’re out protesting right now, please, take care of yourselves and be safe. ❤️ Love you guys. ❤️
Rose may not be scared of ancient vampires, vengeful telepaths, killer queens, entire armies, bombs, or world wars. But going on a date with the woman she’s loved for months? Truly terrifying. 😂
Happy Teaser Day! 💙

It’s Teaser Day again (or a few hours after, actually), so here’s another from The Reign of Darkness. 💙 I hope you’re having a good week. 💙
“You think my battle-axe is hot, don’t you?”
“I’m not attracted to inanimate objects, no,” Rose said in her grumpiest tone. But when she heard Kara’s soft, breathy laugh, she couldn’t resist the urge to smile. She laughed, “Are you really flirting with me in the middle of a battle?”
Kara shrugged, her smile tilting mischievously. “What else would I do?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” Rose muttered. “Maybe focus on not dying?”

Happy Lesbian Visibility from your awkward neighborhood lesbian! 🏳️🌈
Sending extra love to my lesbian friends and readers today! ❤️
I meant to post this one last night, but here’s Rose being secretly sappy. 💙 Happy (belated) Teaser Day! 💙
The moment Princess Myrinne realizes Kara isn’t just Rose’s warrior. 😂
Happy Teaser Day! ❤️
Hey, guys. I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe. 💛 My internet’s been down a lot lately, so I’m a little behind on our weekly teasers. But here’s the one for this past Thursday! 💛
P.S. — A small request for anyone who’s already finished The Reign of Darkness: It doesn’t appear to have any reviews on Amazon yet. So, if you enjoyed it and don’t mind leaving a review there, I’d be super, super, super grateful. 💛 Regardless, though, thank you so much for reading! Love you guys! 💛💛💛💛
And a massive thank you to those of you who have left reviews elsewhere! 💛💛💛💛
Happy Teaser Day! ❤️
Update:
If you’re one my of paperback readers, they have the paperback up on Amazon, now. ❤️ (It went up yesterday, I think?) They don’t have it linked to the Kindle version yet, so I’ll include both links. ❤️
Powerful vampire, Rose Foster, and her girlfriend, Kara Unnarsdóttir, take refuge in a hidden kingdom of vampires, as war breaks out between vampires and humans. Rose is shocked to find that even though she doesn’t know them, the vampires of this kingdom know her. Not only that, but they’re prepared to follow her into battle. Yet, they refuse to tell her why.
World war rages on in their absence, threatening the extinction of both species. Rose soon realizes that, even though she doesn’t want power, if she wants to prevent genocide, she’ll have to take her place as a Commander of Power.
But when Kara uncovers a terrifying piece of information about Rose, she must decide, once and for all, if her loyalty to the woman she loves is strong enough to withstand even the end of the world. Or if it’s time to do what she does best: betrayal.

AHHHH, it’s (finally) up! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 (Now, pardon me while I go panic and cry for like three years. 😭)

The Reign of Darkness, the fourth and final book of the Creatures of Darkness Series, will be released on March 3, 2020! 🧛♀️🌈 So…just a little over two weeks from now! 🖤
I’ve been reluctant to post a release date because, between life events and rewrites, it can get really unpredictable. This last year (or so) has been a tough one, and my writing time has been more limited than ever. And on top of that, each time I would get close to finishing, I would decide to rewrite it all over again. 😅
My anxiety is partly to blame for that. This is the final book of the series, after all. I want it to be perfect (or as perfect as possible, anyway). I’ve been dreaming up this book for so long (since I started the series), and I want it to be the satisfying, worthy conclusion that I’ve always hoped it would be. 🖤
Your support of this series—and of Rose and Kara—has meant the world to me, and I will never be able to thank you enough for it. 🖤 But I hope I can at least give you a satisfying conclusion to the series—and one that was worth the wait. 🖤
Two more weeks! 🖤
P.S. — I’m extremely sleep-deprived, so if this sounds a little sappy and rambly, that’s probably why. 😅
I’m a day late, but here’s something romantic for Valentine’s Day.
💙💜💙 Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day! 💙💜💙
P.S. — Posting the release date tonight! 🧛♀️🌈
Never ever, ever trust Kara. 😉🖤
I haven’t posted any teasers on here in a while, so here’s the newest one from The Reign Of Darkness, Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness series! 🧛♀️🌈
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to my American readers, and Happy How-Is-It-December-Already to everyone else. 💙 Thanks to the holidays, kids’ birthdays, the flu, and then a bit of a depression spiral, I’m pretty behind on updates, but I’ll try to share one within the next few days. 💙 Until then…teaser! 💙
I hope you enjoy it! And have a wonderful week! 💙
Oh, you know, just your typical bedtime bickering…
…about a battle-axe. 😅
(from The Reign of Darkness, Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness Series.)
Happy Halloween! 🎃 (And Teaser Day! 🖤) I’m still getting The Reign of Darkness ready for release, but here’s a blood-themed scene from the night Rose and Kara met. ❤️

Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️🌈
I joke sometimes about how I basically just snuck out of the closet while no one was looking and hoped no one noticed.
But the truth is…coming out is hard. It’s a long process that is sometimes painful, sometimes dangerous, and never easy.
I hope you know that wherever you are in the process—already out, coming out, or not ready—you’re not alone, and you’re loved. And you have a queer family out there cheering for you. So, whether you stay in, come out slowly, or jump out when you’re ready…happy Coming Out Day. 💙
Since it’s World Mental Health Day, I’m sharing this scene from The Assassins of Light again—as a reminder that mental illness doesn’t mean you’re less or weak or any other stigma people have attached to it. It’s okay to not be okay. 💙
If you follow me on social media, you probably know that I struggle a lot with mental illness, too. That’s why it’s so important to me to write characters like Rose, who have PTSD and depression—or other mental illnesses. I want you to know that, even if you feel alone in this, you’re not. 💙 And if you ever need internet hugs, I’m happy to send them. 💙 Love you guys. Take care of yourselves. 💙

Happy International Lesbian Day from your local, awkward, writing-obsessed lesbian! 😅 I hope you all had a good day! 🏳️🌈
And to celebrate, here’s the character aesthetic for our favorite lesbian, seductive, Viking-warrior-vampire: Kara! ❤️ (At least I hope she’s our favorite. That was awfully specific. 😂)
Quote from The Reign of Darkness, Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness Series.
Happy Bi Visibility Day to all of my bisexual friends and readers! 💖💜💙 You’re so valid and so awesome, and if anyone makes you feel less than, just pretend you’re Rose and melt their insides with your mind. Ahem…I mean… 😅
Love you guys! 💖💜💙
And…speaking of Rose…since it’s Bi Visibility Day, here’s Rose being very bi. 😂
(from The Reign of Darkness, Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness Series)
🖤🖤🖤🖤 Here it is! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Blurb/Summary:
As war breaks out between vampires and humans, the world’s most powerful vampire, Rose Foster, and her girlfriend, Kara Unnarsdóttir, take refuge in a hidden kingdom, in order to save the life of a friend. There, Rose finds that, despite having never heard of this kingdom before, everyone there seems to know her. Not only that, but they’re prepared to follow her into battle. Yet, they refuse to tell her why.
Supernatural world war rages on in their absence, threatening the extinction of both species. Rose soon realizes that, even though she doesn’t want the power, if she wants to prevent genocide, she’ll have to take her place as a Commander of Power.
But when Kara uncovers a terrifying piece of information about Rose, she must decide, once and for all, if her loyalty to the woman she loves is strong enough to withstand even the end of the world. Or if it’s time to do what she does best: betrayal.
In this final installment of the Creatures of Darkness series, the Eklektos will either save the world or destroy it.
—
Coming in September. 🖤
P.S. – If you’ve read The Assassins of Light, you might know who that is on the cover. 😉🖤
P.S. Part 2: You may have seen a very, very rough draft version of this cover before, especially if you’re on Twitter. 🖤 This one is the final version. 🖤 Or close-to-final version(?) if my anxiety changes its mind. 😅
Random Rose and Kara banter (that I forgot to post last week 😅).
P.S. – If my anxiety ever shuts up, I’m going to post a cover/summary reveal for The Reign of Darkness. I’ll try to sneak-post it while it’s sleeping. Shhhhhhh.
