I'm on time!

And there is so much happening.

Apr 16, 2023

Hello Kittens!

Okay, so I always say there’s a bunch going on, but this time there really is. Between all my co-writes, my solos and still being a stay at home mom and full time author—honestly I’m kinda ready to be working again—we also just spent the evening tonight in our guest bathroom—which we use as a tornado shelter, since we don’t have a basement—because of strong storms and tornado warnings all around our area. The rain is still pounding the house as I type this.

So, I’m in month two of being at home, and as much as I like the extra time, I’m ready to have more structure to my day. I’ve tried to implement it myself, but its much easier said than done. Currently, my biggest distraction for getting shit done is the Sims. Why I enjoy telling a tiny AI what to do, and watch them do normal crap like eat and sleep, I have no idea, but boy does it suck me in. To be fair, watching someone else do the dishes in double speed is far more pleasurable than doing the dishes myself. Probably why I like baking shows, too.

The upside of being home more, is that I have more time to write, and with the calendar that I’ve set for myself this year, that’s a huge boon. With that being said, Ember has gone off to our editor, Fitzgerald has two more chapters before he joins her, and Miri and I are gearing up to get to writing. I can’t tell you how excited I am to dive back into the writing cave with my kiwi bestie. The Interstellar Dragon Mates series—which you will have been introduced to if you read the I Am The Fire Anthology that was out in the fall—is one not to be missed.

With the weather warming up, I’m getting to spend more time outside with the kids, who are always up for a run around the Missouri Botanical Gardens—we’re members and go as often as possible—the backyard with our play set, or even the local parks to fly planes—they’re made out of Styrofoam and the kids love them and mom loves them because they don’t break when they hit the ground a little extra hard—its really nice to get some real time with my kids, something that was severely lacking with my healthcare job.

What’s in this Edition:

Ember - Will be out before the end of the month, and after launch will be available on all your favorite platforms.
Fitzgerald - Just weeks away from hitting Kindles.

Welcome to Peach Licker Georgia

Ember and her cousins scattered to the winds after college, but a mysterious letter from their aunt pulls them back home.

Being a baker in New York isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ridiculous hours, bare minimum pay, and a tiny efficiency apartment with her cat wasn't exactly what Ember was expecting when she left Culinary School with top marks. But going home to Peach Licker, Georgia, and admitting defeat was not what she had planned. Then the letter came. An urgent call to come home to her ailing aunt and take over the family shop with her cousins may just change the course of Ember's life.

Thor, president of the Barbarian Kings Motorcycle club, never felt a tie to anywhere. Along with his brothers, Loki and Tyr, he had been traveling the country for as long as he could remember. Other members came and went, but their bond was absolute. And all because they had been on the run from (Who? Again?). But one foot, or wheel, into Peach Licker, and he instantly knows its time to put down roots and stage his last stand. Definitely has nothing to do with the pretty new bakery owner in town.

Ember is the first book in the Southern Bell Coven by Shelly Ferguson and K.O. Newman. Set in a tiny coastal town near Savannah where things are far from normal. Preorder your copy now so you don't miss this hot new series!

Ember will be out soon!

The Lords of Khaos are riding again!

Being a grizzly means you're on the top of the food chain but in the world where shifters are experimenting on their own even apex predators are fair game.

Rebekah O’Mahony has found herself an orphan without a den and running for her life. Alone and on the run from enemies who want her back in their clutches, she turns to the one man who she thinks can help her find her brother and keep her safe. A man she's never been able to forget, no matter how much time has passed. With evil nipping at her heels, the Lords of Khaos are more than willing to bring a lost sister back into the fold.

Fitzgerald Kavanaugh doesn't see himself as the hero in anyone's story, not even his own. But when a childhood friend reaches out to him desperate for help, he does the only thing he can, and steps up. When he realizes that Bex has only barely escaped Longshot–the same cutthroat club that LOKI has been looking for–and their fearsome allies, he's more determined than ever to protect her. Getting one step closer to unraveling the mystery he and his brothers have been chasing.

Only thing is, seeing one another for the first time in two decades yields an unexpected twist. On the verge of war Fitz has found the fated mate he didn't know he'd lost, and wasn’t aware that he needed, only to find that Longshot poses a threat to his future on a much more personal level. As the Lords of Khaos prepare to go to battle, will the promise of love and a happily ever after be enough to see Bex and Fitz through? Or will the danger that is lurking just outside of Ironwood’s gates be more than they can handle?

Don’t forget to pre-order!

The Nomads are on the move.

Magic and Mayhem are in the air as the Blood Moon Riders MC series that I write with Mariah Thayer is moving from KU to the wide world of publishing.

If you love magic, mayhem and biker romance, then you’ll love BMR. It’s all the usual gritty and steamy storytelling that you would expect with my books, with a little bit of dark magic, and spice that Mariah writes so masterfully.

The Blood Moon Coven spans from one side of the country to the other, creating order for the hidden magic world. But when things start to go sideways, it's the Nomad Chapter who take the forefront of a war that could change the face of the supernatural world forever.

Start with Crow Moon, which is FREE everywhere (or will be very very soon!) And dive right into the fast paced world of Crow, Hex, Justice and many more.

Aliens on Earth

Real quick I’m going to give you four amazing reasons that you should grab a copy of Aliens on Earth.

It’s only 99 cents! There are nearly 100 authors signed on to write stories (yeah that’s less than a single penny per story) and boy are there some awesome authors signed on.
It’s a charity anthology with it’s proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
I have two stories in this anthology! One with the amazing Miri Stone and one with my bestie Mariah Thayer. Both are part of current series we are writing!

If that’s not enough to entice you, then how about this? There are two stories coming from myself and two of my book wives!

Mariah Thayer and I are writing an installment of the Blood Moon Riders MC series, with all the magic and mayhem that you’re used to, along with a little alien spice (and some special alien anatomy action that you can’t miss).

Dragons are the name of the game for my collaboration with book wife Miri Stone. We have been dreaming up a series of Why-Choose Dragon Shifter Aliens for a while, and this just seemed like the perfect place to drop a series novella.
