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. …
WILLOW Now Available!
HOOAH!! I am so excited for you to read and journey with Willow Metcalfe in her story, WILLOW, which is NOW AVAILABLE across online retail sites. When you dive in, you’ll recognize larger-than-life character, Chijioke Okorie, who is best friends with Cole “Tox” Russell of The Tox Files. BUY WILLOW NOW!!! . Each book in The Metcalfes confronts human trafficking, and I readily admit that they are not easy reads. In my fiction, I have never shied from the raw, but I do my best to also not glorify said rawness. Never do I want to tame or romanticize, in effect, the pain and horrible situations thousands across our globe face or are ensnared in. However, I know some readers …

What’s Next for Rapid-Fire Fiction? A Leif in the wind…
Whoa. *cough*sneeze* It sure is dusty up in here. I am officially mortified that I haven’t made a post since . . . forever. Granted, we moved from a 4,000SF home in Northern Virginia to a nearly 90-year-old 1700 SF home in New Jersey in the last month, so I’ve been a little busy (okay, crazy-busy). For those following me on Facebook and Instagram, you will remember that last summer, I signed another contract with Bethany House Publishers for a new series . . . and I cruelly withheld the details. But guess what? The wait is over (well, mostly . . . somewhat). I can promise one thing: no more wandering despair because the Tox Files only has one …
