Blog postFor something a little different, I’m actually making effort to force myself to have fun reading, etc, etc. So, I’m going to share my reading list with you.
I will put a * beside the books I’ve read and loved and have included in the lists so I know I’ll have SOMETHING I’ll love during the month. The Something New category was, admittedly, all books I found on Amazon that were being given away by the author. One is a reverse harem, and I will list it as (RH) next to it.

Blog postI already gave you a tasty treat of a teaser from my contribution to Dirty Deeds 2, but to start your weekend with some fun… the starters to the other stories in the set. (Spoiler alert: they’re all good and fun!!)

Blog postHey, folks! We’ve made it! It’s finally here! The next installment of the Magical Romantic Comedy series (a short novel skirting novel territory, because I was bad and the book turned out longer than the novella planned for…) is here! Hooray! My contribution to the Dirty Deeds 2 anthology is entitled 101 Ways to Die, and it takes place shortly after the events of Plaidypus. Here is a snippet for your enjoyment!

Blog postYou can grab a copy now over at Amazon. Other vendors are coming soon with the same discount. (At last check, they hadn’t processed the sale yet, but it should be within the next 24-48 hours, roughly.)
Also, on June 10, Playing with Fire (book 1 in series) will be discounted on Amazon.com only as a Kindle Daily Deal, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Happy reading, y’all.

Blog postI phoned a friend. The friend was google and FAQs. Google and the FAQs guided me to the appropriate place to figure out additional shipping profiles. The USPS helped me with pricing for shipping.
So drop cards will be a thing.
Currently, there are drop cards for witch & wolf, mag rom com world, royal states, and bernadette franklin.

Blog postI am not doing drop cards as add-ons for the kickstarter. The shipping issues are difficult enough. I will likely wait until all dropcards have been claimed (they are one use codes) before removing the original ebooks associated with the dropcards and distributing the leftover cards with random giveaways / crossing out the codes. (Or distributing them with random letters I send out.)

Blog postHere is the definitive list in the order I will be working on the books x3 times per week (x2 times per week will be dedicated to play projects or whatever I want to work on.)
If the book you are looking on is not on this list, it is either in the “play project” category, which has no set order or it is scheduled to be a continuation only after this list is completed in its set order. Basically, don’t ask about it because I’ll just tell you “When I get there???” I don’t know. This is4 weeks ago Read more -

Blog postUnlike 101 Ways to Die, which is coming out in the Dirty Deeds 2 anthology next week, Doggone Mess was only the first completed arc of a much longer story. Think of it as a book one in what will become a longer-than-normal Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count.)
At current estimate, I will be adding an entire novel worth of new material. (I was not going to charge $6.99 for what was released in Dirty Deeds 1. I’m mad, but I’m not that mad.)

Blog postBecause I’ve gotten many, many, many messages from those who really, really believe the author note in Plaidypus was a lie… no, no, I promise you Lucifer is the Lord of Lies, I’m just the poor author saddled with tracking his truths and falsehoods.
The author note in Plaidypus IS correct. The above flowchart explains how the precursor portion of Client (the nasty cancer part) fits in with Plaidypus/101 Ways to Die. It also partially explains why I did it in the order I did.

Matia Evans has it all, except for one thing: she can’t see color. With an adopted family who loves her, a company she helps her father run, and more prospects than she knows what to do with, she’s in no place to complain that her world is limited to shades of gray, black, and white.
Her inability to perceive color isn't the only strange thing about her: all souls have shadows, and she can see them. Unfortunately, there are humans who are worse than monsters. Worse, there are real monsters in the world, and they view humans as prey or as mates.
If Matia doesn’t want to become a victim, a pawn, or a trophy bride of the supernatural, she must use every bit of her strength and cunning. Her freedom and survival depend on embracing the darkest parts of her soul, but if she does, she risks becoming the newest—and most dangerous—monster of all.

The Hunted Wizard
When Nicole dabbled in the occult, she lost it all: Her voice, her family, and her name. Now on the run from the Inquisition, she must prove to herself—and the world—that not all wizards are too dangerous to let live.
The savage murder of a bookstore employee throws Nicole into the middle of Inquisition business, like it or not. Driven by her inability to save the young man’s life, she decides to hunt the killer on her own. Using forbidden magic to investigate the past, she learns that the murderer is in fact a disease that could kill the entire werewolf race.
Forced to choose between saving lives and preserving her own, Nicole embraces the magic that sent her into exile. Without werewolves, the power of the Inquisition would dwindle, and she could live without being hunted.
Nicole’s only hope for success lies in the hands of the werewolves she hates and the Inquisition she fears, but finding someone to trust is only the beginning of her problems. There are those who want to ensure that the werewolves go extinct and that the Inquisition falls.
But, if she fails to find a cure, her family—including her twin sister—will perish…

Sean’s guardian angel is a feline, but his spirit cheetah prefers rival attorney, Andrea Morgan, over him. Trapped in a failing, dangerous marriage and stalked by an accomplice of one of the most dangerous criminals he’s ever prosecuted, Sean’s troubles are just beginning.
A vacation should have offered him a chance to save his relationship with his wife, Idette. Instead, Sean learns he isn’t the only one with a secret, and his discovery of his wife’s true nature should have killed him.
To ensure Sean’s survival, his cheetah strikes a bargain with a wolf. Faced with life-long enslavement to his wife, becoming an instrument of pack justice seems like the far better alternative.
Unfortunately, pack justice is as brutal as it is swift, and should Sean fail to put an end to Idette’s machinations, everything he values will be targeted and destroyed, including his chance to be with the one woman who might be able to help him salvage the ruins of his life.
