New Sci-Fi RH, Shifter Omegaverse, and a HUGE Thank You!
Greetings from the Multiverse!
Before I say anything else, I have to say a HUGE thank you to all who bought Wolves & Warriors! Thanks to you, I’m now a USA Today Bestselling author…which means more visibility, more books, more success, and a shiny tag to put on all my novels!
The first book out with my USAT tag? Radiant Rites!
The final installment in Fiona’s adventure is now complete, along with a shiny re-cover. If you’ve been waiting to read the Falling Star trilogy until it was finished, now’s the time! You can find every single book on Kindle Unlimited, starting with Celestial Sins.
Now for a little peek into my life and where we’re going from here…
If you’ve read my author bio, you know I joke about getting a PhD in alien eggplant…and that’s actually kind of true? For the past four years, I’ve been working toward a PhD in Cultural History, and I’ve reached a point where all I have left is to write my dissertation. When I started doing this a year ago, I never expected writing to become a full-time gig—but thanks to you, it has!
Which is why I’m going on leave as I write my dissertation and ramp up my writing career.
Effective this month, writing is my full-time job as I crank out a novel a month and a dissertation. This means a few changes are coming to the way I release novels, but you’ll still be getting plenty of smutty goodness from me!
After churning out a space opera a month for the past year, I realize now that this is fairly unsustainable in terms of making sure I provide a quality product. I know a lot of you are anxious for a sequel to Alien Rogue—and I’m just as excited to write Taraven’s story!—but I realize now that I need about six months to write a story on the scale that I want for the Cosmic Mates series. That being said, you can expect Alien Soldier in November, and the preorder is available now!
I promised you a book a month though, and I’ve got something a little sweeter and easier to write in the works: my first foray into omegaverse, Fated Mates of the Riftwolves. If you’ve read my entry in Wolves & Warriors, you’ve already been introduced to this world, but the first full-length novel is coming in July!
Read on to the end of this newsletter for a snippet of Reyes & Tilda’s story.
TLDR: I’ll be writing a Cosmic Mates book about every six months so I can do the story justice. Meanwhile, I’ll be hitting y’all monthly with my Texas werewolf omegaverse!
A Snippet from Taken by the Lycanthrope…
I should let this woman die—I know I should. She came here with a gun and a knife to hurt my pack. If her friend hadn’t shot her, chances are she would have come back for one of my people eventually. If she was awake right now, she would probably be screaming at me to get the fuck off her. If I want to keep my vow of celibacy, I can’t take a mate anyway, and having her here will just make the full moon that much harder for me.
But those are a lot of if’s. And all I can think about right now is the fact that, despite the odds, I somehow found this woman that smells like the most delicious thing I’ve ever scented.
She sucks in a harsh, cracked breath. She’s dying.
She’s going to die if I don’t do something.
Bite her, my wolf urges.
My choices are limited. If I don’t bite her, she’ll almost certainly die. If I do, she’ll heal…but she’ll be forever bound to me. I’ll always know where she is, what she’s feeling. She’ll feel as mad with lust for me as I do with her, as the venom in my bite will infect her with just a touch of lycanthropy…
Her full moon will never be the same.
But I can’t bear the thought of letting her go when she’s right here in my arms.
I run my nose over the wound, hoping if I bite closer to the gunshot, it will help weave her flesh together faster. Her chest rises and falls in light, fading breaths.
I have to do this now.
I sink my teeth into the flesh of her hip.
The woman—my mate—jerks at the pain, so she must have enough life in her to at least fight back. I bite down hard enough to leave a mark, my four sharp fangs puncturing the flesh while my other teeth leave a line. It’ll scar over like that; she’ll notice it when she’s lucid again. I haven’t actually spoken to her, but I have the sinking suspicion she’s going to be pissed when she sees what I’ve done.
But I don’t much care, not when my mate’s flesh is clamped in my jaws.
I release her and begin to lap at the bite, running my tongue over it and then back up to the gunshot wound. The lycanthropy is already taking effect; the bleeding slows, and she takes a deep breath. She isn’t conscious yet, but her hand comes up to tangle in my hair as I lick her, tasting the blackberries in her blood, smelling that touch of leather which I now realize must be the saddle so frequently between her thighs.
The moon hasn’t set yet, and I’m acutely aware of how she feels beneath me. Lithe and muscular in the torso, with wide, round hips and thick thighs. She’s tall for a woman—has to be about 5’11, maybe six feet, with long brown hair bound into a braid. She already feels like someone I’ve known for years, even
I settle myself between those lush thighs as I continue to soothe the pain of the bite, my tongue navigating the curve of her hip despite myself.
I can’t go any farther. She’s wounded.
I shove my wolf back into his cage.
Taken by the Lycanthrope is available for preorder now and will hit your kindle on July 26th!
