Techromancy Scrolls: Masquerade

The third volume of the epic Techromancy Scrolls series, Masquerade, is published!

On December 16, 2016 my eBook, Techromancy Scrolls: Masquerade, was added at Amazon.com! And as I always do, I have print on demand paperbacks available there as well!

This wound up being the longest and I think deepest book I have written to date. When I started the first Techromancy Scrolls book, Adept as a secret side project, I never imagined it would become the most popular book I have written. I loved the epic adventures of Laney and Celeste so much I cwrote the sequel, Soras, to share more of their world and delve deeper into the world of the Mountain Gypsies aw well. It turned the Techromancy Scrolls into a phenomena, as fans went wild for the post apocalyptic world and the Knights of Wexbury. So I shifted my labor of love side project and moved the Techromancy Scrolls books into my rotation of standard releases. In book three, Masquerade, I delve deeper into the characters of Laney, Celeste, and Bexington to give them more depth and character development. And of course introducing a whole cast of new and returning characters.

Like the prior book, I had quite a bit of anxiety over the book, thinking I couldn't keep the magic of the series alive to the same degree and feed my ravenous fans. But again, you super platypus awesome people showed me my fears were baseless, as Masquerade is currently the number three bestseller and climbing.

---

The book continues to follow follow the adventures of s a simple commoner who became a noble and Knight in Wexbury Keep, Laney Herder, almost three thousand years after a natural disaster wiped out most life on Earth.

Laney Herder finds herself thrust into an adventure not of her choosing as Prince George asks for her assistance, in her role as a Sora of the Mountain Gypsies. She is tasked to uncover a plot to sow unrest between Highland Reach and the Lower Ten realms.

As the shadow of a civil war looms over the lands of Sparo, Laney and Celeste must navigate the twists and turns of a sedition that runs deep through all the realms, orchestrated by a familiar foe.

Can Laney stop the treasonous plan from coming to fruition as she attends the Capitol for the Royal Masquerade?

---

The next book in the series, Westlands, will be out in mid to late 2017.

I have the the best fans that any author could hope to have! Within a few hours of its release, Masquerade has become the number 3 bestseller in its category and climbing! It is impossible for me to convey just how much I love my readers! I appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. I also accept platypus shaped crackers and milk.
I'd love to hear feedback and discussion from YOU about the characters in Masquerade. I'd love to discuss the story with you!

Flotilla: Making Waves

Making Waves, the first book in the Flotilla spinoff series has been published!

On October 19, 2016 my eBook, Flotilla: Making Waves, was added at Amazon.com! And as I always do without fail, I also have print on demand paperbacks available for your reading pleasure as well!

Flotilla is a a spinoff series of both Music of the Soul and London Harmony. It follows the ever enchanting Paya Doshi and the crew of the Flotilla Project, as they give all of themselves to help out those less fortunate in the London core. Their efforts help those individuals and families to get back on their feet and into flats of their own.

As I always do with my romances, each story is part of the overall series but can be read as standalone books.

---

Lenore Statham, the runner for the Flotilla Project, had been at her lowest when she was found by Angie Wells and Paya Doshi and brought into the fold.

She learned how to be strong again and break the shackles her old life had hobbled her with.

While Paya is out making waves in London, Lenore is assigned as the driver for the contractor, McGrath, who is renovating a building for the Flotilla, which will allow people who had fallen upon hard times to have a place to call their own.

The problem? Lenore finds McGrath to be the most infuriating, cocky, and egotistical woman on the planet. They mix like oil and water and Lenore wants nothing more than to throw a match on the mixture and be done with the woman.

She just can’t figure out what it is that boils her blood around McGrath, though apparently all of her smug and smiling friends have an inkling…

---

There are two messages behind this book is that even the most confident person can not know how to convey their true intentions when emotions get involved. So McGrath's awkward flirting was interpreted completely different by our feisty and speedy Flotilla runner.

The other is that emotional scars can dictate the outcome of any event more drastically than any other factor. When a person has experienced abuse... whether physical or emotional, it can sometimes almost break them and not allow them to see things clearly. We may believe that nobody would react a particular way in a given situation, but until we have lived in their shoes, we can't presume to know how profoundly even the littlest thing can affect them.

Once again I am shown just how blessed I am to have such a wonderful group of readers... In only a few hours Making Waves catapulted to the top of the bestseller list in its categories. I gotta say, you are all tops on my list.
As is my custom, I'd like to send a great big thank you to all of you. And that I love and appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. I also accept feathered unicorns.
I'd love to hear feedback from YOU about the story and characters of Flotilla: Making Waves. I'd be stoked to discuss the story with you!

Like the prior book, we hear the story of Goldilocks by proxy, as Parker reads the journal of Katiana (Goldilocks) to the group of Avatars. So we hear the story in Katiana's own words. She is a strong and dangerous woman who's personal motto is "Face my blades... or face my bears!"

This book starts a few months after the events in Let Down Your Hair after the Avatars track Stythe the Trickster down to Alberta Canada. Parker reads from the satchel full of journals from prior Avatars that the Grimm Brothers accidentally left behind. They all sat around Parker in rapt fascination of the amazing tale of Goldilocks and her three bears.

---

The world has not been kind to Katiana, Goldilocks, as the werewolves robbed her of her family when she was young. She was spared a similar fate by three bears who came to her aid and fought off the wolves.

Kat finds herself in a strange new world after the loss of her family, but finds happiness again with her new family… her new brothers. They raise her to be a strong, independent woman with dangerous fighting skills and the strength of any two men.

A chance meeting with a young woman and her brother finds the one thing her heart had been missing.

Infused with power she never desired, Goldilocks and her companions take on a dark witch and her druid son. The cost of victory may be more than Katiana was willing to pay.

---

I love how each of the women of this series are strong independent individuals and Katiana is a prime example of that as her strength rivals that of Ella-Marie's. She is balanced by the compassion and snark of a surprising individual who was introduced in the prior book.

Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event 2016

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be part of the Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event 2016!

KT Grant asked me to talk a little about self-publishing and why I chose it over other publishing venues. I added in a quick overview of the self-publishing process for aspiring authors.

You can read my post here.

Let Down Your Hair

On January 20, 2016 my eBook, Let Down Your Hair, was added at Amazon.com! And as always, print on demand paperbacks are also available there!

This was a new concept in the Urban Fairytales series since it follows a past Avatar instead of being in modern times with Parker reading the journal of Rapunzel. This is Rapunzel in her own words. She's not a damsel in distress, instead she is one of the deadliest witch hunters in all the realms.

This book starts a year after the events in Rose: Briar's Thorn and the Avatars find a satchel full of journals from prior Avatars that the Grimm Brothers accidentally left behind. They all settle in at Parker's apartment in Seattle to listen to the tale of Rapunzel.

---

Rapunzel had spent her first sixteen years of her life, being held in captivity by the black witch, Dame Gothel, in order for the witch to discover why the girl was immune to all black magic.

When she finally escapes, she finds herself in a world she didn't understand because of her captivity. But the one thing Rapunzel knows is that she will hunt down Dame Gothel and make sure she can never harm another innocent ever again.

The game of cat and mouse goes on for years, and Rapunzel's fighting prowess only grows as she battles all dark magic users that would do innocents harm.

Her life is turned inside out after a chance meeting with a brash and headstrong house maid, Evelyn, who tackles over her tower and her heart. Rapunzel never stood a chance.

Together they take on the most vile witch of their time.

---

Each of the women of this series are amazing individuals and Rapunzel is no exception. She is balanced by the compassion of Evelyn, and her ability to remind Rapunzel that there is more to life than hunting witches.

I have the most platypus awesome fans, there are no words to demonstrate how great they really are! As always, I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. I also accept trays of chocolate eclairs.
