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. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

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. 💙

New Teaser – Pet Dragons

When you introduce your girlfriend to your pet and then threaten to feed her to it… 😅

Fantasy World Map

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! 🖤

Teaser: Minor Differences

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

Happy Teaser Day! ❤️

“You cut off someone’s finger?!” Rose exclaimed. “Are you insane?”

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

“Yeah, I’m sure I’d say that, too, if you sliced off my finger,” Rose said.

Teaser: Anyone Else

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! 💙

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

“Why not?” Rose said with a weary shrug. “You’d betray anyone else.”

“Because 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 vulnerable—for the first time in her life.

“Because I love you.”

New Teaser for a New Book 💙

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 Pride and a Teaser

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. 😂

Rose gave her a skeptical look. “You 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. “I’m very proud of myself.”

Rose tilted her head, flashing a sassy smile at her. “Aren’t you always?”

“Uhh, hello?!” the vampire interrupted. “You said the world is ending?!”

Happy 3rd Teaser Day of Pride Month! 🖤🏳️‍🌈🖤🏳️‍🌈🖤

“I’ve defied fate at every turn for you.”

“I know,” Kara sighed. “And I have no right to ask you to do it again.”

Rose turned toward Kara, studying her with a frown. “Ask me, anyway.”

Kara’s light blue gaze shifted up, meeting Rose’s. “What?”

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

Her voice was barely a whisper, now. “I’ll always say yes.”

Teaser: Bedtime Dispute

For the second Teaser Day of Pride Month, here’s Rose and Kara having a Totally Normal™️ bedtime dispute. 😅

“You’re not keeping a battle-axe in the bed that we share.”

Kara stepped closer, before taking another sip of her drink. “Why not?”

Rose lifted both eyebrows, unable to hide her smile. “Because it’s sharp!”

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

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

Teaser: Hatred

For this Teaser Day, here’s Rose taking a stand against hatred in The Assassins of Light, Book Three of the Creatures of Darkness Series.

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

“Hatred 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.”

Teaser: Real Date

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! 💙

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

Kara snorted, “Both, in my experience.”

“What I do remember,” Rose said, “is that I’m terrible at them.”

Kara raised an eyebrow. “You said you were a terrible girlfriend, too.”

“I am!” Rose said defensively. “I’m a total disaster.”

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

“Well, I think you’re perfect.”

“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?”

I meant to post this one last night, but here’s Rose being secretly sappy. 💙 Happy (belated) Teaser Day! 💙

But the feeling in her chest, now? The warmth and comfort and security that settled inside of her? The desire to go nowhere else but here? Was that home?

Because if it was, then maybe this was the closest Rose had ever gotten.

Not the kingdom, of course.

But Kara.

Teaser and a Request

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! 💛

Rose turned to the princess. “And what’s wrong with who I’m dating?”

The princess started to laugh—until she noticed Rose’s glare. She cleared her throat. “Oh, you’re…serious,” she mumbled, her eyes wide. She set her glass on the table and straightened. “Well,” she said nervously, “you must know…Kara Unnarsdóttir has quite the reputation. She’s defeated entire armies by herself, assassinated world leaders, seduced queens and conquered their kingdoms…”

Rose shrugged. “People are allowed to have hobbies.”

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! 🧛‍♀️🌈 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. 😅

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.

THE REIGN OF DARKNESS Cover/Summary

🖤🖤🖤🖤 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.

Teaser: Dangerous Ladies

Okay, so, the funny thing about this teaser is that last week, on Twitter, there was this trend, where everyone was posting, “How you know I wrote it,” followed by a list of things that are in their books. This was mine:

So, yeah…like I said, dangerous ladies… 😂 

—

Excerpt:

Kara didn’t even attempt to resist, as Rose dragged her into the bedroom. She grinned, both brows raised. “I love it when you randomly make out with me.”

Rose closed the door behind them and then turned toward her, frowning. “What? That’s…not what I’m doing,” she stammered. “I just need to talk to you.”

Kara crossed her arms. “Well,” she complained, “that was misleading.”

Rose’s frown deepened. “How was it… You know what? Never mind.” She stepped closer. “You didn’t tell me your plan involved betrayal and murder.”

Kara shrugged lazily. “My plans always involve betrayal and murder.”

“I know, but Kara,” Rose sighed, “we’re supposed to be the good guys!”

Kara started laughing, as if that were the silliest thing she’d ever heard. “Oh, Rose,” she said, flashing a wicked smile, “I don’t think I ever agreed to that.”

Rose huffed out an exasperated sigh, as Kara turned to leave. “Fine. You can have your betrayal, but less murder, okay? Humans hate us enough already.”

Kara smiled and leaned against the door, pushing it open. “Anything for you, sexy,” she said playfully. Then, she winked and disappeared down the hall.

Rose rolled her eyes, suppressing a laugh.

When Kallias finished wiping the blood from his hands—or trying to, at least—he tossed the towel aside and sighed, “What are you doing here, Rose?”

Rose shoved her hands in her pockets and shrugged. “Same as usual?”

Kallias crossed his arms and flashed a bitter smile. “Pissing me off?”

“I was going to say saving your life,” Rose mumbled, “but yeah, that, too.”

Kallias shifted his gaze toward Kara, scowling at her blood-soaked battle-axe. “Rose, will you please tell your girlfriend to stop dripping blood on my floor?”

Rose glanced at Kara, who was standing right beside her—definitely within hearing range. “Umm, she has ears, actually?” she told him. “So, I don’t have to?”

Kara flashed a smug smirk at Kallias. “He’s just jealous of my battle-axe.”

“Yes, Kara,” Rose muttered, “I’m sure that’s exactly what he’s jealous of.”

Happy (Belated) St. Patrick’s Day 💚

I meant to post this last week, but life got super-busy, and I forgot. As usual. 😅 But I hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day! 💚💚💚💚

Because I’m a dork who likes holiday-themed stuff, here are a few lines from the pre-battle “good luck kiss” in The Tomb of Blood (Book‪ 2 of the Creatures of Darkness Series).‬ 💚💚💚💚

P.S. – Umm, also…you may have noticed my website went all wonky last week? 😂 (I think it was because it was my renewal date?) It took me a few days to fix it, but it’s fixed now. So…if you were one of the people who visited while it was wonky, sorry! I promise it’s not always like that. 😂
