New Teaser: Apology

I missed a few teaser days, but here are my pirates again. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈπŸŒˆ

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. πŸ–€

I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe! Happy Teaser Day! πŸ–€

Happy Halloween! πŸ–€πŸŽƒπŸ–€

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! πŸ–€)

I hope you’re having a great Spooky Day, and as always, here’s our traditional Alana teaser! πŸ§›β€β™€οΈπŸ–€

Happy National Coming Out Day!

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. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ

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 meβ€”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 peopleβ€”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! πŸ’™ 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. πŸ’™

Fantasy World Map

Here’s the fantasy world map I made for my lesbian pirate book! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈπŸŒˆ With color and without! And unfinished, obviously. πŸ˜…

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. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

I think this might be my favorite world-building thing I’ve ever tried. πŸ–€ It was so time-consumingβ€”but also so much fun! πŸ–€

Teaser: Minor Differences

Rose handles jerks with sarcasm, and her girlfriend handles them with dismemberment. Minor differences, you know? πŸ˜…

Happy Teaser Day! ❀️

β€œYou cut off someone’s finger?!” Rose exclaimed. β€œAre you insane?”

β€œA bit, yeah,” Kara said, taking another sip of her wine. She chuckled, as she lowered the glass. β€œDon’t worry. He assured me there’d be no hard feelings.”

β€œYeah, I’m sure I’d say that, too, if you sliced off my finger,” Rose said.

Kara dropped her battle-axe, as if to emphasize that she was not, in fact, going anywhere. Her blue gaze shifted toward Roseβ€”glistening like ice, piercing Rose to the core. β€œYou want me to betray you?” she said, her voice a low growl.

β€œWhy not?” Rose said with a weary shrug. β€œYou’d betray anyone else.”

β€œBecause you’re not anyone else,” Kara said. Her shoulders relaxed, and everything about her seemed softer, all of the sudden, as if she’d cracked herself open, left herself vulnerableβ€”for the first time in her life.

β€œBecause I love you.”

New Teaser for a New Book πŸ’™

I’m a little late (again) because of internet troubles (again). Thursdays are clearly bad luck. πŸ˜… Buuuuuut…I have something new for you! πŸ’™ I’ve been working on my lesbian pirate WIP a lot lately, and I finally felt comfortable enough to share a scene this week! πŸ’™

(Keep in mind this is definitely a rough draft, still. πŸ˜…)

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. πŸ˜‚ But it follows Emilia, a dragon-commanding sorceress who joins a pirate crewβ€”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 shipβ€”and my pirate captain is simultaneously appalled and…into it??? πŸ˜‚ Like I said, they’re fun. πŸ˜‚ Happy Teaser Day! πŸ’™

(P.S. – Ignore the title in the teaser. I change it like once a week. πŸ˜…)

Rose gave her a skeptical look. β€œYou haven’t had time to warn them that they’re all going to die, but you’ve had time to tell them I’m your new girlfriend?”

Kara grinned, her light blue eyes sparkling. β€œI’m very proud of myself.”

Rose tilted her head, flashing a sassy smile at her. β€œAren’t you always?”

β€œUhh, hello?!” the vampire interrupted. β€œYou said the world is ending?!”

Rose turned toward Kara, studying her with a frown. β€œAsk me, anyway.”

Kara’s light blue gaze shifted up, meeting Rose’s. β€œWhat?”

Rose stepped closer. She reached up, brushing her fingertips over Kara’s face. She watched as Kara’s eyes closed, as she leaned forward. β€œAsk me, anyway,” Rose repeated. She tilted her face, her lips brushing Kara’s. β€œBecause I’ll say yes.”

Her voice was barely a whisper, now. β€œI’ll always say yes.”

β€œYou’re not keeping a battle-axe in the bed that we share.”

Kara stepped closer, before taking another sip of her drink. β€œWhy not?”

Rose lifted both eyebrows, unable to hide her smile. β€œBecause it’s sharp!”

Kara leaned closer. β€œSo are you,” she said, tapping Rose’s chest with the bottom of her glass. Her lips curved into a smile. β€œBut I still keep you in my bed.”

Rose opened her mouth and closed it again, blushing at the implications. Finally, she managed, β€œMental sharpness doesn’t hack people’s heads off, Kara.”

β€œHatred doesn’t win with numbers or weapons. It wins with silence. It wins when people sweep it under the rug or try to justify it. It wins when people defend the indefensible. It wins when we’re too scared or too apathetic to fight back. And I won’t let it win. Not today. Not ever.”

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. πŸ˜‚

Happy Teaser Day! πŸ’™


β€œI’m not sure I even remember what a real date is!” Rose squeaked. β€œLike…does it involve flowers? Murder?!”

Kara snorted, β€œBoth, in my experience.”

β€œWhat I do remember,” Rose said, β€œis that I’m terrible at them.”

Kara raised an eyebrow. β€œYou said you were a terrible girlfriend, too.”

β€œI am!” Rose said defensively. β€œI’m a total disaster.”

Kara sat up, slowly, leaning toward Rose. β€œYeah?” she said, affection and amusement sparkling in her intense, ice-blue eyes.

β€œWell, I think you’re perfect.”

Kara shrugged, her smile tilting mischievously. β€œWhat else would I do?”

β€œOh, I don’t know,” Rose muttered. β€œMaybe focus on not dying?”

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 UnnarsdΓ³ttir, 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.

Release Date for THE REIGN OF DARKNESS

The Reign of Darkness, the fourth and final book of the Creatures of Darkness Series, will be released on March 3, 2020! πŸ§›β€β™€οΈπŸŒˆ So…just a little over two weeks from now! πŸ–€

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. πŸ˜…

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. πŸ–€

Your support of this seriesβ€”and of Rose and Karaβ€”has meant the world to me, and I will never be able to thank you enough for it. πŸ–€ But I hope I can at least give you a satisfying conclusion to the seriesβ€”and one that was worth the wait. πŸ–€

Two more weeks! πŸ–€

P.S. β€” I’m extremely sleep-deprived, so if this sounds a little sappy and rambly, that’s probably why. πŸ˜…

THE REIGN OF DARKNESS Cover/Summary

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ Here it is! πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Blurb/Summary:

As war breaks out between vampires and humans, the world’s most powerful vampire, Rose Foster, and her girlfriend, Kara UnnarsdΓ³ttir, 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.

Pride Month: Announcements

Happy Pride Month! β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ

A couple of announcements:

1) I’m participating in two different Pride-themed hashtag games over on Twitter this month. So, I’ll be talking about Rose and Kara, The Reign of Darkness, writing, happy, gay stuff, etc., all month over there, if you’re interested. ❀️ (I think my Twitter feed also shows up on my website, if you don’t have Twitter?) 🧑

2) Also, The Reign of Darkness (Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness Series) should be released this month. πŸ’› (I tried for May. I tried so hard. But May just…sucked. Bad. So…so bad.) But (fingers crossed) this month!!! πŸ’š I’ll announce a specific date soon. πŸ’™

P.S. – And to all of my LGBTQ+ friends and readers, I hope you have the best month! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Love you guys! πŸ’œ
