This week’s teaser is an inside joke for everyone who’s read The Assassins of Light. 😂😂😂
from my upcoming book, The Reign of Darkness,
Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness Series. 💜
Teaser: Inside Joke
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.

Teaser: Erik
A couple of weeks ago, I had a request for an Erik teaser, so…here you go! 😁💙💙
(Also featured: Ligeia being Too Serious™️ for Rose. 😅)
Teaser: Kallias
Ahhh, sorry! I was swamped with work this week and forgot to post our Thursday Teaser! ❤️ But here it is! I hope you like it! ❤️
Rose and Kallias have a very specific dynamic… 😂
—
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. 😂
Weirdly Emotional Thank You ❤️
The Assassins of Light, Book Three of the Creatures of Darkness Series, is officially one-year-old, and I’m feeling all weirdly emotional about it. And I get even more awkward than usual when I’m emotional, so…you’ve been warned…
I was so terrified when The Assassins of Light came out. It’s such a personal book (especially with how it addresses Rose’s PTSD and depression). Not to mention, you know, if you’ve read it, that there are a lot of points-of-no-return in this book. I think it’s scary, as a writer, when you reach those points in your work because you’re always afraid that you’re going to turn around and find out no one followed. But I should’ve known that you guys were too amazing for that. ❤️ Because not only have you stayed with me throughout the series, but your support for The Assassins of Light (and Rose and Kara’s relationship, in general) was more than I could’ve ever hoped for. ❤️ (As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure Rose and Kara have more fans than I do. 😂❤️) Seriously, though, to have people share my love for these characters is just…a dream come true. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ (Sorry, I tried to avoid sappy clichés, but…like I said…emotional.) ❤️
The point is…I will never be able to thank you enough for being so supportive this past year. It’s meant the world to me. And I really hope you all enjoy The Reign of Darkness (Book Four of the Creatures of Darkness Series) just as much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Teaser: Found Family
Rose and Erik are found family in all the snarkiest ways. 😅
Happy Teaser Day! (And Pi Day!) I hope you like it! 💚🖤💚

Excerpt:
“I don’t know why you’d be worried,” Erik scoffed. “Kara and Alana tried to kill each other every day, and Kara stayed with her for fourteen hundred years.”
Rose frowned. “But that was only because Alana wouldn’t let her leave.”
“Not the point,” Erik said. He leaned against the table, crossing his arms. “What makes you think Kara would run away at the first sign of disagreement?”
Rose chewed on her lip nervously. “People…tend to run away from me.”
Erik snorted, “Well, can you blame them? You’re an annoying, sarcastic nerd, and…you’re kind of a mess.” He looked away. “And sometimes terrifying.”
Rose flashed her sassiest smile. “Wow. Thanks, Erik,” she said, her voice sharp with sarcasm. “This is exactly the kind of encouragement I was looking for.”
“But,” Erik continued, scowling at her interruption, “Kara’s into that.”
Rose gave him a skeptical look. “She’s into terrifying messes?”
“Well, she did date Alana,” Erik muttered under his breath.
“Umm,” Rose said, squinting bewilderedly, “so did you?”
“What I meant was,” Erik grumbled, his gaze shifting back toward Rose, “she’s into you.” He shrugged. “You might be a total failure at everything else you do in this world, but…you make Kara happy.” His brows furrowed. “Somehow.”
Despite the anxiety whirling around in her head, Rose couldn’t help but smile. “How do you manage to make me feel better and worse, at the same time?”
“It’s a gift,” Erik laughed. But when Rose turned to leave, his smile faded. “Rose?” he called out—before she could open the door. When Rose glanced back at him, she was surprised to find that, for once, there were no traces of humor in his expression. He scratched his head, messing up his wavy, blonde hair. “I don’t know what Kara’s lying about this time, but when she was here, I sensed…fear.”
Rose was quiet for a moment. Then, she nodded. “I sensed it, too.”
She’d never seen Erik so nervous.
“Kara is fearless, and she loves danger. What scares most people excites her. So, if this secret scares Kara,” Erik paused, regarding Rose with a worried look, “it must be more terrible than I can imagine.”
Rose sighed, “If you’re trying to scare me…”
“I’m not,” he interrupted. “I just want you to be careful.”

Excerpt:
“Really?” Rose said, curious as ever. “What if both lovers are women?”
The princess turned toward her, glancing back and forth between Rose and Kara. “Do you mean…like the two of you? You want to marry the warrior?”
“What? No!” Rose said—so emphatically that both the princess and Kara looked at her. Rose blushed and mumbled, “Kara’s afraid of commitment.”
Kara laughed—but didn’t argue.
“I just meant,” Rose clarified, “would you do that? Marry two women?”
Princess Myrinne shrugged. “I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t I?”
“What?” Rose said with a laugh. “Homophobia isn’t a thing here?”
“I’m not familiar with the term,” Princess Myrinne told her. She frowned thoughtfully, as if she were trying to use her limited knowledge of modern culture to figure it out. “People have issues with…gender…where you’re from?”
“Issues, yeah,” Rose said. She turned to Kara, lowering her voice—even though the princess could still hear. “I changed my mind. This place doesn’t suck.”
Kara laughed, “It doesn’t take much to please you, does it?”
A strange, thoughtful look came over Rose’s face—one that made Kara’s smile slip a little, as she wondered what was on Rose’s mind. Rose stepped closer and asked, her voice quiet and timid, “What if we just…stayed here? Together?”
Kara smiled. “I’d love that,” she murmured. She held Rose’s gaze for a moment, affection burning in her intense, blue eyes. Then, she shrugged, and her smile tilted mischievously. “I’m cool with watching the world burn, if you are.”
“Oh, yeah,” Rose said, rolling her eyes. “I forgot. Apocalypses are bad.”

Teaser: Violent Kara
Hi, I’m the forgetful dork who somehow managed to forget to update her website for two months. Sorry, guys! ❤️ (In case I haven’t warned you lately, I’m a frazzled, forgetful, stressed-out mess most of the time. 😅) So…I have quite a few teasers and updates for you this week. Starting with this one:
Kara gets, uhhh, pretty violent when she’s upset. 😅
