Teaser and a Request

Hey, guys. I hope youโ€™re all doing well and staying safe. ๐Ÿ’› My internetโ€™s been down a lot lately, so Iโ€™m a little behind on our weekly teasers. But hereโ€™s the one for this past Thursday! ๐Ÿ’›


Rose turned to the princess. โ€œAnd whatโ€™s wrong with who Iโ€™m dating?โ€

The princess started to laughโ€”until she noticed Roseโ€™s glare. She cleared her throat. โ€œOh, youโ€™reโ€ฆserious,โ€ she mumbled, her eyes wide. She set her glass on the table and straightened. โ€œWell,โ€ she said nervously, โ€œyou must knowโ€ฆKara Unnarsdรณttir has quite the reputation. Sheโ€™s defeated entire armies by herself, assassinated world leaders, seduced queens and conquered their kingdomsโ€ฆโ€

Rose shrugged. โ€œPeople are allowed to have hobbies.โ€

P.S. โ€” A small request for anyone whoโ€™s already finished The Reign of Darkness: It doesnโ€™t appear to have any reviews on Amazon yet. So, if you enjoyed it and donโ€™t mind leaving a review there, Iโ€™d be super, super, super grateful. ๐Ÿ’› Regardless, though, thank you so much for reading! Love you guys! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

And a massive thank you to those of you who have left reviews elsewhere! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

Teaser Day and Paperback Update

Happy Teaser Day! โค๏ธ

Rose leaned toward Kara and whispered, careful to keep her voice low enough that none of the others heard, โ€œHow did you know that would work?โ€

Kara smiled, shameless as ever. โ€œI didnโ€™t. I just wanted to kiss you.โ€

Update:

If youโ€™re one my of paperback readers, they have the paperback up on Amazon, now. โค๏ธ (It went up yesterday, I think?) They donโ€™t have it linked to the Kindle version yet, so Iโ€™ll include both links. โค๏ธ


Powerful vampire, Rose Foster, and her girlfriend, Kara Unnarsdรณttir, 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 doesnโ€™t know them, the vampires of this kingdom know her. Not only that, but theyโ€™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 doesnโ€™t want power, if she wants to prevent genocide, sheโ€™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 itโ€™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! ๐Ÿง›โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ Soโ€ฆjust a little over two weeks from now! ๐Ÿ–ค

Iโ€™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. ๐Ÿ˜…

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). Iโ€™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 Iโ€™ve always hoped it would be. ๐Ÿ–ค

Your support of this seriesโ€”and of Rose and Karaโ€”has meant the world to me, and I will never be able to thank you enough for it. ๐Ÿ–ค But I hope I can at least give you a satisfying conclusion to the seriesโ€”and one that was worth the wait. ๐Ÿ–ค

Two more weeks! ๐Ÿ–ค

P.S. โ€” Iโ€™m extremely sleep-deprived, so if this sounds a little sappy and rambly, thatโ€™s probably why. ๐Ÿ˜…

Happy Valentineโ€™s Day!

โ€ชIโ€™m a day late, but hereโ€™s something romantic for Valentineโ€™s Day.โ€ฌ

โ€ช๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’™ Happy (belated) Valentineโ€™s Day! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’™ โ€ฌ

โ€ชP.S. โ€” Posting the release date tonight! ๐Ÿง›โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒˆโ€ฌ

Teaser: Battle-Axe

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to my American readers, and Happy How-Is-It-December-Already to everyone else. ๐Ÿ’™ 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. ๐Ÿ’™ Until then…teaser! ๐Ÿ’™

I hope you enjoy it! And have a wonderful week! ๐Ÿ’™


Oh, you know, just your typical bedtime bickering…

…about a battle-axe. ๐Ÿ˜…

World Mental Health Day

Since itโ€™s World Mental Health Day, Iโ€™m sharing this scene from The Assassins of Light againโ€”as a reminder that mental illness doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re less or weak or any other stigma people have attached to it. Itโ€™s okay to not be okay. ๐Ÿ’™

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 depressionโ€”or other mental illnesses. I want you to know that, even if you feel alone in this, you’re not. ๐Ÿ’™ And if you ever need internet hugs, I’m happy to send them. ๐Ÿ’™ Love you guys. Take care of yourselves. ๐Ÿ’™

Happy International Lesbian Day!

Happy International Lesbian Day from your local, awkward, writing-obsessed lesbian! ๐Ÿ˜… I hope you all had a good day! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

And to celebrate, here’s the character aesthetic for our favorite lesbian, seductive, Viking-warrior-vampire: Kara! โค๏ธ (At least I hope she’s our favorite. That was awfully specific. ๐Ÿ˜‚)
