A Breed Apart: Legacy Series is Complete!
HOOAH!! We did it–the entire A Breed Apart: Legacy series is officially complete! On the 19th of this month, SURGE the final installment in my mentored series released. I worked very closely with Voni on developing her story and carrying through the Ronie Kendig style and intensity. I know you’re going to enjoy it! This series was very unique, and it was my honor to work with these incredible authors and help them learn how to write with that Ronie Kendig brand. Steffani Webb wrote two (CHAOS and FURY)–she is so incredibly talented. I’m not really sure why she wanted to do this series because she has the writing chops to make it on her own and has all along! …

War of Torment – Finalist!
Hooah! I’m thrilled to share that WAR OF TORMENT is a finalist in the Speculative category of the FHLCW Reader’s Choice Award! It does my heart good to see this epic conclusion to the Droseran Saga finally get some contest love. That book is a beast and so much happens in it—so it makes sense that those who haven’t journeyed with the characters in the previous books might not get the poignant events. And it’s a fourth book in a series, which is always a hard sell. But I’m delighted that WAR made it this far with the Reader’s Choice Award. Special thanks to the FHLCW Contest and its judges for all the time you spent reading and judging. Y’all, …

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO ME! LADY OF BASILIKAS is officially launched!! I’m soooo thrilled to bring this beauty to your homes. I love these two characters!! LADY OF BASILIKAS ON AMAZON Y’all. Not gonna lie. This book gave me FITS. I honestly wasn’t sure this was worth the ink it would be printed on when I turned it in, but THANK GOD FOR EDITORS! Am I right? Reagen Reed helped me turn this puppy around, and I’m so excited for y’all to dive into Vorn’s life with Valiriana. Maybe go a little easier on him than she does, okay? *grins I’ve decided this story is more Romantasy-with-a-touch-of-sci-fi than straight out Space Opera. Just so your expectations are properly set. It’s …

Lady of Basilikas Cover Reveal!!
LOOK!!! You guys, I am over the moon about this cover for LADY OF BASILIKAS, a standalone in The Droseran Saga universe! Look at all its gorgeousness, masterfully designed by the inimitable KIRK DOUPONCE!!! This story started as a subplot, small thread in Dawn of Vengeance. When I realized while writing DAWN that I was going to be massively over my word count, I pulled all the scenes between these characters and saved them to an alternate file. Then, we tucked those pieces into the first two books of the Dorseran Saga as they released, but then I had the bright idea to make that story it’s own book! My publisher thought it was a great idea, and we agreed …
Havoc Cover Reveal!!
A soldier, a Malinois, and a stuntwoman walk onto a set . . . Can’t you tell by that tagline alone that you’re going to love this story?? Well, HERE IT IS, Y’ALL!! The wonderfully epic cover for HAVOC, Book 1 of the A Breed Apart: Legacy spinoff series. I can’t even tell you how much fun I had writing this this story. Crew and Vienna have sparks flying—and Havoc does his best to keep them in line. Look for heavy doses of wit, sarcasm, banter (romantic and otherwise), right along with my trademark Rapid-Fire Fiction action and adventure. For eagle-eyed readers, you could probably guess a notorious someone who makes an appearance when they travel to Turkey. …
