Hi all! It's been a minute, hasn't it?
How has life been treating you? I know it has been rough. There is fear all around us, and it is hard to fight. But don't let it best you, friend. Look UP, don't look down, because we have hope. Our King is fighting for us.
I don't have a writing update at this time, but you can always follow me on Facebook or Instagram for little updates, or sign up for my newsletter for special inside peeks *flips sunglasses down*.
The reason I decided to pop in for a blog post is because there's been a flurry of fun book releases that I wanted to share with you. EEE MORE BOOKS YAY. I mean, how can I pass up an op to talk ink and paper?
There's quite a variety here, ranging from sci-fi or an ocean adventure, to fairytales or winter magic, so I hope you find something to suit your fancy.
So, in release order, I present to you many pretty books. 😀
Out now! - Ronnie Akkard and the Brotherhood of Blades, by AC Williams
I never wanted to leave the Bronx, but a weird alien guy in a funny hat gave me a magic samurai armor and told me to save the world. Who could argue with that? I didn’t count on having to work with a bunch of misfits more likely to fight each other than an interdimensional dictator. But here I am.
The four of us are supposed to work together, but we don’t even like each other. Except for Stan, but he’s British, so he don’t count. Fighting alone is against the rules, but it’s easier than asking for help and not getting any.
I didn’t sign up for this. None of us did, and no matter how hard we try, we can’t be a family. We’re barely even a team. So when my old buddy shows up with a job—ok, a questionably legal job—and a way out of this freak show circus, well—I guess I’ll have to decide if the world really needs me after all.

Out now! - The Magician Series: Macario's Scepter, by MJ McGriff
Samara is a ship wrecked at sea. She can’t seem to get anything right, especially her love life. Her former pirate captain, the famous Baz Blackwater, broke her heart and stranded her on an island of religious hypocrites. Samara wants nothing more than to escape to the freedom of the sea, so when her ex-lover shows up offering a chance at a magical treasure—and secret revenge—she jumps at the chance.
Seraphina prays every day for her wayward twin sister to stop chasing the pirate life and find the peace she’s discovered in her own quiet life at the convent. But Samara has nothing but contempt for her sister’s beliefs and religious rituals. Yet when Seraphina uncovers an ancient prophecy revealing the horrifying curse of the treasure Samara and Baz seek, she must leave her convent—risking the wrath of her Order—and search for the truth about Macario’s scepter.
In a world of friendship and betrayal, monsters and magic, seedy pubs and adventure on the high seas, will Samara’s magical powers, Baz’s cunning plans, and Seraphina’s unshakable faith be enough to slay a cursed sea serpent destroying everything they love?
