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.”

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! 💚

“Are you telling me that the fate of the world rests in the hands of a nerd with fangs and her crazy, battle-axe-wielding girlfriend?”

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?!”

Teaser: Defying Fate

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.”

Teaser: Hazardous Friendship

Being Kara’s best friend comes with risks. 😂

Happy Teaser Day! 🖤

“Just a thought, but have you ever considered not lying to the woman you love more than life itself?”

Kara pinned him with an icy stare. “Do you want me to put this dagger in your face?”

Erik’s eyes widened. “You asked for honest advice!”

She shrugged. “I didn’t say it was a hazardless job.”

Teaser: Battle

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?”

Teaser: Home

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.

Just…

Kara.
