A Halloween Sale and What’s Coming Next

Posted by on Oct 29, 2017 in Fun Stuff | Comments Off on A Halloween Sale and What’s Coming Next

Happy Halloween! I must admit, this is my favorite time of year. The trees have started to turn, the temperature is dropping, and we get to celebrate a holiday dedicated to all things creepy. And if you know me at all, you know that I like the spooky stuff.  😉 In honor of the holiday, Blood Gifts, my Final Formula prequel story is on sale for $0.99 until November 5th. This novella offers a glimpse into the early years of fan favorite, Ian Mallory, and also includes the short story, Lords of the Dead. (I originally posted Lords of the Dead on my website here.) If you haven’t had a chance to grab a copy of Blood Gifts, now’s a great time to get it cheap. Here’s the cover, blurb, and retailer links: Seventeen-year-old Ian is used to pressure. Born into a necromancer family, he and his twin brother Lex exhibited uncommon magical potential at an early age that led their father to expect great things—from them both. That is until Lex’s blood gift fails to manifest. Or so everyone believes. For the past five years, Ian has been keeping a secret. A secret that—if it got out—would see his brother shunned, or worse. Lex does have a blood gift, but not every gift is a blessing, and not every recipient can manage the talent in his blood. As Lex’s sanity begins to slip, Ian knows the responsibility to raise his family’s fortunes is on his shoulders, and his alone. When he is offered an apprenticeship with one of the most influential men in the necromancer community, Lex convinces Ian that the connection would offer their family even more if Ian were to marry his elderly mentor’s “spinster” niece. Ian’s plan takes an unexpected turn when he discovers that Isabelle is not a spinster. She’s a young, beautiful, intelligent woman who, unfortunately, wants nothing to do with him. Now Ian must find a way to win her over before Lex attempts to elevate their family, his way. Pick up a copy here: Amazon | Kobo | Barnes & Noble | Smashwords | Apple … If you missed my recent post on Facebook, I’m currently busy writing the next two novels in my Iron Souls series. I...

Spin Off Series Cover Reveal and Release Date

Posted by on Aug 10, 2017 in My Books | Comments Off on Spin Off Series Cover Reveal and Release Date

If you’ve been following along, you’ve heard me talk about the Final Formula side story I’ve been writing that features two characters from the main series, Era and Doug. I had planned this single novel to be one last romp in my Final Formula world before I jumped into something new, but things didn’t go as planned. There turned out to be a lot more story in my little side adventure than I realized and it became a series in its own right. So without further ado, here’s the cover and blurb for Whispers on the Wind, the first book in my Death’s Legacy Series. Era Brant couldn’t have asked for a more perfect project to launch her interior design business. The Nelson mansion has many hidden wonders: cherry support posts, natural stone floors, and an abundance of paranormal activity. As an avid ghost hunter, Era is drawn to the house for more than just its nineteenth-century charm—especially when she gets a little ghostly help with the proposed architectural plans. As the new Deacon, the leader of the Old Magic community, Doug Nelson is catching a lot of heat about letting Era and her New Magic contractor renovate the home of their Community’s founder. But Doug’s troubles don’t stop there. His brother Declan has returned home after a messy divorce and befriends Era. Doug was hoping the renovation project would be a chance to get to know Era better. He doesn’t need his brother butting in. Era doesn’t know what to make of Declan, but when he admits that he’s been communicating with the mansion’s ghost since childhood, she finds a new ally. With his help, she might be able to figure out what this ghost wants. But giving a ghost what it desires can be a risky venture, and as Era knows, dealing with the Nelson dead takes that risk to a whole new level.

Which will be crazy because Ferromancer released on August 8th in the Dominion Rising Boxed Set. Yes, the lady who took over eight months to write The Fifth Essence...

The Dominion Rising Boxed Set has gone live! Ferromancer is now out in the world! Suspecting that the railroad’s new locomotive runs on forbidden magic, canal boat captain Bridget “Briar” Rose decides to steal the schematics and expose the truth. Kidnapping the man who designed the engine wasn’t part of the plan, but solutions aren’t always black and white—sometimes they come in shades of iron gray. Read the first two chapters here: Ferromancer Dominion Rising is available at: Apple | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | Amazon … Release Week Giveaway I have some amazing Ferromancer swag created by Ann Christy, one of the Dominion Rising authors. This stuff is gorgeous. Fortunately, she made enough that I’m willing to part with some of it. 😉 I’ll be giving away six items: a magnet, a braided bracelet, a cell phone dust plug dangle, a necklace, a keychain, and a bookmark. See the picture above for a better look at all six items. I also have a closeup picture of the bookmark so you can see the book charms used to create the necklace, dust plug dangle, bracelet, and bookmark. They’re little books! One side has the Ferromancer cover and the other side has the Dominion Rising cover. It even has my name on the spine. So cute! Winners will be chosen at random from the entrants. First name chosen gets first choice, second name gets second choice of the items left, etc. How to enter: Post a review of Ferromancer somewhere. It can be on one of the retail sites, a place like Goodreads, or your own website if you do that sort of thing. Then email me (using my contact form here) and tell me where you posted your review.
