Pour Another Round

Happy New Year, everyone! 2025 has been a trip. But I am beyond grateful for all the love and support I’ve received this year. 2025 saw three new novel releases, paperback releases, and I finally joined BookTok. I cannot express how grateful I am for every sale and every page read. Thank you all for being a part of my world.

And we’ll keep right on rolling into 2026.

2026 will bring us the explosive end of the Raven Rossi trilogy. The hotel burned, the staff is scattered, and there is a corpse missing from its grave. And honestly, those are only the start of Raven’s problems. Our favorite decomposer gives a normal life one last shot in Ravaged Dreams, out March 2nd, 2006.

Also out in 2026 will be Mage Manticore. This is the fifth novel in the Mage Blood Series, a dark contemporary fantasy series where each book follows one woman’s journey through the dark and violent North American mage world. In this novel, we meet Aurora Bossley. Born to a dragon shifter family hiding from a ruthless dragon king, her family did what they needed to do to survive. Including arranging Aurora’s marriage as part of a trade agreement when she was only 12 years old. But Aurora isn’t upset to be leaving home for her impending wedding on her 20th birthday. She’s a manticore. One of the most feared mage types in existence. Even if her marriage doesn’t work out, she’ll have a whole new world to explore. What could possibly go wrong?

Grown from Ashes and Dust

Raven Rossi book two, the sequel to Ravager, is almost here. Pre-order starts tomorrow (Monday 11th) and the release date is September 2nd. Links will be posted soon.

Being raised in captivity by a psychopath didn’t exactly set Raven Rossi up for success in the job market. But, oddly enough, being one of the last members of a species of notorious monsters did.

Raven set out last fall to build a life for herself. And she did. She got a job at a secluded hotel for all things supernatural, made some friends, fumbled through a few failed relationships, got marked as the eternal property of the vampires, and nearly got executed.

It may have been a dark winter, but summer has arrived on the mountain. The surviving staff are dedicated to moving forward with their lives. But the fragile peace is shattered by the sudden disappearance of one of the hotel’s inhabitants and the unexpected return of the hotel’s owner. As if finding her missing friend and dealing with the man who thinks he owns her weren’t enough, both the vampires and the sorcerers have sent people to the mountain to investigate the massacre last winter.

One group sent an inquisitorial squad. The other sent assassins. 

Trying something new

Hi! Welcome to my experimental blog post. As this is the first and I’m not confident about the mechanics of this site yet, I’m not going to write much today. But here, look at the cute cover for Don’t Pay the Piper.

What is Don’t Pay the Piper, you ask? It is the second book in the Patience Red series. I wrote the first book several years ago. And although I published it in 2023, I didn’t market it hardly at all. It’s a very niche, lighter (compared to my normal darker fantasy content) new adult contemporary fantasy adventure about a young immortal woman named Patience and her attempts to survive the hand she’s been dealt in life long enough to get her life debt marked as paid. It’s got some action, some unknown magic abilities, more than a little accidental trampling of supernatural bureaucracy, and a main cast of found family characters who are near and dear to my heart. So near and dear, in fact, that when I need a break from main projects, I will work on this series.

And through the power of procrastination, the second book is now done. So I’ve decided to put it out into the world for the people who want to know what happens to the crew next. The second story picks up several months after the first leaves off. The crew is back to working odd jobs and attempting to lay low. But laying low is taken off the table when a prison bounty hunter arrives at their door and threatens the group to find Stence’s biological father by the end of the month or else he’ll open an investigation into their adventure last year. So the crew is going back onto the road once again.

Don’t Pay the Piper will be out on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited after Christmas.

If this doesn’t sound like your jam, don’t worry. Our regularly scheduled control issues content is all right on schedule. Mage Healer and Mage Manticore are both well into edits, and the second Ravager book is slated to be out in the second half of 2025.

And… that’s it. That’s the end of my first blog post. Later!
