Lots of News!

Mostly cause didn't send a June 1st Newsletter

Jun 16, 2023

Hello Kittens!

So… I missed a newsletter. I would say I’m sorry, but I’m kind of not. Why? Cause the reason I didn’t send one out was because I was exhausted, training and starting my new job!

That’s right. After three months of looking under every single rock and stone from here to infinity, I have found myself a dream job. What am I doing? I’m working for a construction company, as their Business Office Manager. I love it. It’s such a departer from my last job where I had to wear skirts or dresses, makeup was compulsory, and I had to hide my tattoos and piercings every single day. Now? My hair is purple, my tattoos are on point, and I could wear my Loki riding a unicorn over the rainbow shirt if I wanted, and no one would give a shit. They pay check helps a lot too.

The new job isn’t my only big news. I kinda released two books. But if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you will have seen that news.

Mostly what I’m doing (other than writing another book with one of my favorite humans and doing everything I can to avoid the sun) is getting ready for the signing I’m going to with Mariah Thayer. Getting Witchy With It in Salem Massachusetts. Mariah and I are planning on driving from St. Louis all the way up into New England, and I can’t tell you how excited I am.

So, if you’re going to be in New England in September, and plan on attending GWWI, come find us! We’re sharing a table, so its a one stop shop for both of our books. I have been having far too much fun designing stickers and swag for the event. But if you have any requests or suggestions, reach out. I love making new things.

What’s in this Edition:

Ember - Has hit the ground running. Have you grabbed it yet?
LOKI - Fitz is available in KU, and Whisper is now up for preorder everywhere!
Wing Witch - The end of this month brings Mariah and my next book baby.
Poll - What do you look forward to most about author signings?

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!

The Lords of Khaos are knee deep in war!

Fitz’s happily ever after is secure, but what of the rest of the Lords of Khaos? And Whisper?

You can't shove shifters back into their little box once a woman turns into a raging grizzly in the middle of downtown. The human world was about to be turned upside-down.

Whisper never thought her life would be so good. Living with LOKI, safe and sound from the horrors of her childhood and working as a tattoo artist with her best friend and savior Les was a dream come true. But that dream quickly turns into a nightmare when Paradigm stampedes into Ironwood on the back of dragons and monsters. Kidnapped and thrown into a cage in the depths of an underground facility, Whisper has lost hope. With each passing moment she slips further into her mind, letting her animal–Frigga–take charge to keep the fragile human from falling apart.

Theron (Scar) Aetos has been hiding in plain sight his entire life. There wasn’t ever much choice, when you’re the last of your kind. His animal–Scar–was his only companion. He thought all was lost when he was captured by Paradigm, but that all changed as he was tossed into a cell with his fated mate. Except something is very wrong with the mercurial eyed Whisper, and Theron just can’t work it out. Putting his trust in her may just be his complete undoing as they are both shoved into the limelight when her grizzly comes tearing out of her skin.

Will they be able to escape the sudden celebrity and make space for their mating? Can Whisper come out of her shell and accept the man who claims to love her above all others? And what happens once the lights fade? Can humanity handle the knowledge that their myths and legends have really been lurking in the shadows the entire time?

If you haven’t ready Fitzgerald, you can find it here.

And please jump on the LOKI ride, and preorder Whisper before she’s out in the world.

Mariah and I are at it again, this time with a new series!

Sookie was a goddess in the kitchen, but a mediocre witch at best. Her spells seemed to take on a life of their own, to often hilarious–usually harmless–results. She just wanted her wings to be tastier. It was only a little spell, a few herbs and spices added to the sauce, a little rhyme to bind it together, and just a taste of razzle dazzle. Instead of bringing customers back for more finger-licking goodness, she found herself with a shifter problem. Specifically, a sexy, horny and tad bit geeky soul mate, who just wants to love her (and, ahem, love her). Worst part? The spice seemed to have settled in her girly bits, which sets them and her soul on fire every time she sees him.

Roman, a maine coon shifter, was without a cluster or a place in the world. When the mating call hit him between the eyes, he heeded it instantly. His body was burning for his one true mate. If only he could convince her to give him a chance.

Something is disrupting the careful balance holding the spells in place that keep the town safe. Eyes are pointed at Roman and the other supernatural beings who have begun settling in Winter Haven, and the call to kick them to the curb comes all too soon. Can Sookie learn to accept her mate's claim and heed the call of their bond? Will Roman lose the one connection he has left? Can love win the day and set about righting the wrongs, or are they destined to be star-crossed lovers? And what will happen to Witchy Wings, stuck in the middle of all of the chaos? Cause all Sookie wanted to do was show people nerdy girls can make hot sauce too.

If your answer is swag, what kind? Are you a sticker collector, is it the bookmarks, pens, something else? Leave me a comment on this post, and tell me all about it. And while you’re at it, I want your best “Meet the Author” stories.

One final thing before you go!

I have a secret little project that I’ve been toiling with for quite some time now, and very soon, I’m going to be releasing it, chapter by chapter, to my paid subscribers.

Yes, this novella will be just for those of you who have crossed the pay wall, but not to fear, it will eventually come to stores, but you will have to wait still a while yet.
