Witches and Werewolves and Demons, Oh My!

Tis the season, and a perfect time to check out my Demons Gate Chronicles. I have recently repackaged the series, returning to its original titles and updating the covers, so if you already have Awakening, Alliance, and Annihilation, you have the series. The new (older) titles are There’s No Such Thing as Werewolves, The Forsaken Templar, and Seeds of Immortality. And they have some beautiful new covers.

Demon’s Gate Update.

I’m the first to admit when I make a mistake…well, maybe not the first...but eventually I concede…most of the time.

Anyway, I thought the reboot of my Demons Gate series would be on track, but I realize now that it probably wasn’t. the covers were too ‘artsy’ and the names too obscure…and sales fell flat.

So, we’re going back to the original titles for the books and I’ve commissioned some new covers.

So, Awakening, Alliance, and Annihilation are now all out-of-print. The new books are the same stories, just repackaged.

And if you haven’t read these stories yet, you can find them here:

And they’re out!

Legacy of Lightning and Dance of Revelation are now live in both Kindle and paperback formats. And coming soon in Audio featuring the golden tones of Larry Gorman.

Legacy of Lightning

Can the new King of Olympus defend his shattered realm against overwhelming forces?

Stavros, the son of Zeus and Hera, inherited the throne of Olympus, but does that really matter? Mount Olympus lays in ruins, and the Greek gods are few and scattered. Still, Stavros has pledged to help end the war that took everything from his people.

Working with the Asgaardian gods, Stavros meets the powerful sorceress, Hilde. When the alliance of evil gods kidnaps Odin in an attempt to steal the Odin Force, Stavros and Hilde are thrown into the midst of a conflict that threatens to bring the mortal realm to the edge of Armageddon.

Dance of Revelation

Can a magical dance reveal the next Queen of Asgaard?

When the fertility goddess, Astrid, performs the Dance of Revelation for King Magni, he encounters something he doesn’t understand and refuses to accept. Now haunted by the vision and feelings that overpower him, he fights an internal battle while dark elves threaten the gates of Asgaard.

By the time Astrid understands what happened during the dance, the King’s wrath has already rained down on her. How can she explain what happened to him, if he won’t let her near?

Daughter of Darkness Is Live!

Yes, the Kindle and paperback versions of Daughter of Darkness are live and available as well as the Audio version in select stores (coming soon too all the rest, including Audible.) The new, updated edition expands the Heavenly Wars universe and sets the stage for book 3, Legacy of Lightning (coming next year from lake Scrawls Publishing.)

Daughter of Darkness

“It wouldn’t be the first time I’d been kicked out of heaven.”

After a thousand years in exile, the goddess Nott learned to live without interaction with the other Norse Gods. Hidden away amidst the devastation of a dead heaven, and working to aid the besieged mortals of Midgaard, Nott found peace. The night is her realm, and darkness her best friend. But war finds her. And her grandfather, Loki, wants her at his side when he conquers Asgaard.

Visions of the Night Goddess have haunted Tyr’s dreams for a millennium. Unjustly accused, she’d fled Asgaard before he could stop her. Now, circumstances offer him an opportunity to reconnect with the woman who’d walked away from the Golden Realm—the woman who’d eluded him for a thousand years, yet always haunted his dreams. But Nott’s family ties threaten to put the goddess on the other side, in a war that’s blazing across the heavens.

I also would like to share a new release from a good friend. It’s a wonderful children’s book, just in time for holiday gift giving:

~ A new whimsical fantasy to give to that special child this holiday! ~

Available in ebook AND PRINT!

Frederick Fly-Catcher, Children’s Fantasy

“A fun adventure that was a hit with my nine-year-old!”

What happens when Frederick, a champion fly-catcher, is confronted with a human? After all, humans are dangerous! And worse, this human is carrying a thing of troublesome, powerful magic. What if Frederick can’t get it to stop?

This fast-paced chapter book will entice young readers to keep turning pages to find out what happens next. Connecting with Frederick’s frog’s-eye-view reminds children to treat all creatures with respect and to be open to friendships with new or different people.

Parents can use the story events as jumping-off points to talk with children about problem-solving and teamwork strategies as well as simply being kind.

Also a great book to read to children at bedtime!

The best thing I could do was to relax and enjoy the ride, so that’s exactly what I did.”

Daughter of Darkness – cover reveal and pre-sale

The release of Son of Thunder is only days away…woot!

And today I am happy to announce that Book 2, Daughter of Darkness will be coming out November 3rd in Kindle and (hopefully) paperback editions with audio books for the entire series in the works by the amazingly talented Larry Gorman.

Here’s the new cover and blurb for Daughter of Darkness:

“It wouldn’t be the first time I’d been kicked out of heaven.”


After a thousand years in exile, the goddess Nott learned to live without interaction with the other Norse Gods. Hidden away amidst the devastation of a dead heaven, and working to aid the besieged mortals of Midgaard, Nott found peace. The night is her realm, and darkness her best friend. But war finds her. And her grandfather, Loki, wants her at his side when he conquers Asgaard.

And then there’s Tyr…

Visions of the Night Goddess have haunted Tyr’s dreams for a millennium. Unjustly accused, she’d fled Asgaard before he could stop her. Now, circumstances offer him an opportunity to reconnect with the woman who’d walked away from the Golden Realm—the woman who’d eluded him for a thousand years, yet always haunted his dreams. But Nott’s family ties threaten to put the goddess on the other side, in a war that’s blazing across the heavens.

Daughter of Darkness is now available for pre-sale in Kindle format at: https://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Darkness-Heavenly-War-Book-ebook/dp/B08K7NCQ78/

Ignore the paperback link, as this is still the first edition (now out of print), thought eventually the 2nd edition paperback will be linked there.

Last chance to get Heavenly War books in their original forms.

Today I received my rights back for Son of Thunder and Daughter of Darkness. Very soon, Soul mate publishing will be taking these books off Amazon, but you still have time to pick them up in their original published versions if you’d like.

But the war is far from over…

In the next few months I will be editing these two books, bringing them more in line with my new writing style – more urban fantasy, less romance. And there will be more books coming out in the series.

Stay Tuned.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…

So, it’s been a while since I posted. This is by design. Things are changing and I needed a break to retool and recharge. But, I am alive and working on some big changes.

1. The End of Romance.

I’ve never gotten the traction I was looking for in the romance genre and now, with the implosion of the Romance Writers of America, it feels like the right time to go back to my Science Fiction and Fantasy roots. The lackluster release of Triptych had me thinking this way anyway, so for right now, Xi Force and all my other Romance series are on hold.

2. The Demon Gate Chronicles.

3 books.jpg

Okay, everything old is new again. This is my transition series. Three Romance novellas I wrote years ago as the Demons Rising Series (Currently out of print forever). The stories have been tweaked, the explicit sex scenes have been shoved behind closed doors, and the Romance elements toned down. Instead I’ve opted for a somewhat darker toned urban fantasy feel to the series. New titles, new covers, and new genres. And there will be new books coming out in the series to extend the story. If you’re interested, links to these books are in the sidebar. —>

3. Reinventing myself.

Did you note the new graphic at the top of the page? That’s the new me. A little darker, a little more mysterious. We will still be adventuring in fantastic realms, but with a little less romance and a little more adventure. You’ll also see the new look on my Facebook and Twitter pages. And over the next few weeks I will also be updating my web site.

4. A hint toward the future.

Very soon I will be announcing a new release, the first brand new novel to kick off my transition to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre. Can you say Epic Fantasy?

 

Adventure on!

Alliance is live

Alliance, the 2nd book in the Demon Gate Chronicles is now available in Kindle ebook and paperback:

Demon Gate Chronicles: Book 2

A demon invasion…

Templar Knight Geoffrey le Court has been stuck in purgatory for over seven hundred years. Forsaken and forgotten until the sorcerer, Nathan Gray, releases him into the modern world. Now he must adjust to modern technology, as he continues the quest he started so many centuries before.

Kelly Grant is a powerful Arcanist sorceress. She has vital information Geoffrey needs to complete his quest and liberate his soul. There’s only one slight problem. The Arcanists and the Templars hate each other. They’ve been at war for thousands of years. There is no way Kelly would ever work with Geoffrey.

At the center of their war is the Demon Gate. Created in Atlantis at the dawn of recorded time, this portal to another dimension is at the heart of humanity’s worst problems. Only by working together can Geoffrey and Kelly hope to destroy the Demon Gate. But can they put aside their differences in time to stop a flood of demons poised to invade our world?

*This book is a re-edit of a previously published book by the name The Forsaken Templar. The book has been updated and some elements changed, but the story is essentially the same.
