Royal Magic Available Now!

May the celebration begin, Champions–Royal magic is finally available to purchase and read! (You can find it in the USA store by clicking HERE, or in the UK store by clicking HERE!)

A big thank you to everyone for their patience in waiting for this story. The Elves of Lessa is a series that is near and dear to my heart, and it was so amazing to return to their world and revisit old friends. (As you can tell by the quote, Tari and Arion still play an important role in this sequel!)

I hope the story of Gwendafyn and Benjimir entertains you and makes you laugh. I can’t wait to hear what you think of it! Speaking of which…

As usual I’m holding my review special for Royal Magic! As I say with every book release, reviews are really important for authors. They help open up new doors for advertising as some places have a review requirement, and they also provide useful feedback for me and for possible/interested readers. So as a thank you for reviewing, I’ll release Royal Magic extras when we hit big review landmarks! (I count reviews from Amazon.com, the UK Amazon site, the Australian Amazon site, and Goodreads! And please leave honest reviews!)

45 Reviews: Locked: Alternate Point-of-view Scene: Unleashed–from Benji’s perspective: PDF 80 Reviews: Locked: Short Story: Welcome Home: PDF 110 Reviews: Locked: Character Interview with Gwendafyn, and Benjimir, and an appearance from Tari and Arion: PDF

Thanks for reading, Champions, and enjoy the story!

Royal Magic on Preorder

Wonderful news, Champions! Royal Magic–the long awaited stand alone sequel story to Red Rope of Fate–is now available for preorder. (Click here for the American store and here for the UK store!) It’s launching July 27th!

Gwendafyn is slowly suffocating.

As the second princess of the elves of Lessa she is the acting regent of her people and is expected to behave with the serene grace and poise of a model elf. But that is not who she is.  Instead, her very character is constantly criticized as being too passionate, too fiery, and overall “too much”.

The former Crown Prince of the human country of Calnor, Benjimir’s disinheritance has permanently altered his future and place in court. It gets worse. He is forced to watch as the woman he has secretly loved his whole life narrows down her marriage prospects. He may ordinarily revel in his own ruthlessness, but this feels like his heart is dying.

Gwendafyn is given a chance to flee the role that has ensnared her when she realizes there is one escape that not even her family traditions can prevent: marriage to a human from Calnor. But with most humans and elves unable to speak the same language, her options are limited. She starts to lose hope when the human translators only see her title and treat her with fear and awe.

Yet there is one other human who can speak the language of the elves: the scorned Prince Benjimir.

But Gwendafyn isn’t that desperate.

At least not yet.

It starts as a marriage of convenience and an opportunity to strengthen the bond between their two peoples. But what if it could become something more?

I can’t wait for this story to launch! I hope you guys enjoy it–it’s been a long time in coming. Until next time, thanks for reading!

New Cover Art: Elves of Lessa

Greetings, Champions! I’ve been busy working on the still unnamed Red Rope of Fate sequel. I’m in the editing stage, so everything is looking good for that mid to late July release.

But I have some fun news! With the launch of the sequel, both books will be getting illustrated covers. This was a tough decision. I like the current Red Rope of Fate cover a lot, but in the end it had to be a marketing decision. The current cover is more of a fairy tale style, and I’d like to make it a bit more clear that Red Rope is more of a fantasy-romance story.

So I asked Nibleart–my illustrator for my Second Age of Retha series–to create the covers! (I felt so bad for him though, because Solus from Second Age of Retha and Arion are the only two male protagonists in all my books who have the dark hair/blue eyes combo and wear armor! So this was a testament to his styling skills.)

But, without further ado…here is the new cover for Red Rope of Fate!

In addition to the character art, I have to say he really  NAILED the background. I asked him to put them inside a castle since they spend the whole book in Haven, and wowza did Nibleart deliver! (Also, Tari’s dress brings me such joy since it’s very reminiscent of her practice uniform. Loveitloveitloveit!)

He’s still working on the cover for the sequel, but it is in a similar style. I can’t wait to show you all the final product, though! This cover will be going up this weekend, so if the photo covers are more your style, you might want to snag this book now.

That’s all for today, Champions. Stay tuned later this week, though, as I have an exciting announcement I’ll soon be sharing!
