Hello Kittens!
So much has happened in the last few weeks. First, I wanted to say how excited I am that the change over from MailChimp to Substack went so well. I can’t tell you how amazing it is that at least one thing has gone right lately! Cause boy things have turned upside down in so many other areas. Second, I’m so excited to have Stupid Cupid come out as its own solo novella. Some of you will have noticed that its not in Kindle Unlimited. There are several reasons for that. The first of which being that it’s not eligible. Since Stupid Cupid is still up as part of the Booktober 2022 anthology, it can’t be in KU. By the end of the week it should be available wide, and the paperbacks will be up for order on Amazon.
Now to the personal stuff. I’ve been on the hunt for a new job for quite some time. Those of you who have been around for awhile, or follow me on other social media will know that I have been working in healthcare (specifically at a retirement community) for more than a decade. Things have changed drastically since COVID, which has added so much stress to our jobs, that I was searching for a way out. So, yesterday, after a lot of thought, deliberation, discussions with my friends and family, I quit my job. Yep. I am currently a full time writer, which sadly wont pay the bills for long, so I’m on the hunt for something.
Other than the job news, things are fantastic. My kids are thriving. My house is getting a deep clean it desperately needed (cause dude, I can’t write all day, I gotta do other shit). And I’m getting to projects that I have been putting off for years.
I finally got my cork board up over my computer, I cleaned off all the kid stuff that was crowding my desk (which is in the living room, not ideal), and I’m working my way through the house one project at a time.
On to book news!

Alien Why Choose—What do you got to lose?
Evangeline borrows her roommate and best friend’s bow and quiver of arrows for her sexy Cupid Halloween costume. She doesn't realize is that her smoking hot bestie is, in fact, the real deal--and so are the arrows. When she accidentally trips and falls at a Halloween party, spilling arrows everywhere, she finds herself dangerously attracted to three fearsome looking bikers, who have a secret of their own.
With the Akuns alerted to the use of Cupid's arrows, Evangeline and her new mates have only one choice: Make it to free space before they are taken in to intergalactic jail. Will they break free of the aliens hot on their heels in time? And what other secrets is Caleb--Cupid--still keeping close to his chest?
STUPID CUPID is live on Amazon. If you’re not an Amazon reader, keep your eyes peeled, it’ll be up everywhere so soon! Also, paperbacks are coming, WOOHOO!
Fitz and Bex will steam up your Kindle!
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?
Fitzgerald should hit Kindle at the end of March! Like all LOKI novels, it will be in KU, but if you want your very own forever copy please think about pre-ordering it. The thrill of my pre-order numbers going up definitely makes me write faster.
SO MANY BOOKS! - But seriously, so many.
Ember is coming in early April is my first co-write with my lovely bestie Shelly Ferguson. Come join us in our new series, combining Shelly’s sweet southern charm with my rough and ready bikers. Don’t miss the first in the series, because Peach Licker Georgia is a town you can’t pass up!
Bartender Mate is the first in a series that you might have seen us talking about before. Miri and I have been busy writing some novellas for this new and exciting world, one of which was in the I AM THE FIRE anthology, and the next will be in ALIENS ON EARTH. But Bartender Mate is a full sized novel filled with aliens, why choose, and motorcycles (it is me after all!).
Wing Witch came from a meme. I’m dead serious. Sadly, I didn’t have the foresight to save the meme itself (and boy and I kicking myself for that), but the jist of it was, if they can have sports themed wing restaurants, why not a nerd themed? And thus Wing Witch was born, along with an entire series coming along behind. My bestie, editor and soul sister Mariah and I are so excited to share this new series (don’t worry, Blood Moon Riders isn’t finished! The next book is coming soon).
All of these books are up for pre-order, so go secure your copy today.
(Wing Witch is available wide!)
ALIENS ON EARTH
Real quick I’m going to give you two 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. (plus I’m writing 2 of those stories!)
It’s a charity anthology with it’s proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
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.
