Stranded With the Alien King #newrelease #sfr #sciencefictionromance
It has been too long since I’ve released a book, but that changes today! Meet Maxx, the purple alien king, and Nera, captain of a spaceship that can’t land and who can’t help but fall for him…on a reality dating show!
I got the idea for this book during lockdown of the pandemic, and it ReFuSeD to leave me alone! I had such a rediculously fun time writing this one. 🙂
Here’s the blurb:
On Alien Love Island, the days are hot, but the nights are scorching…
It’s not every day I tie up an alien warrior king. It’s because, in part, he put his hands down my pants to retrieve a top-secret package. Hey, where else was I going to put it? For some reason he’s not telling me, he wants this mysterious package. My orders are to deliver it and not to him.
But when we’re both kidnapped and dropped onto a deserted island, my plans for ringing his neck and then day-drinking shoot out the window.
Only the island’s not so deserted. The alien king and I have just stumbled onto the set of the first season of Alien Love Island, an intergalactic reality TV dating show.
Big, sarcastic yay.
One of the many, many problems with this? We never agreed to appear on the show. The producers make it clear that we have no choice though.
To stay alive, we play our parts. But when the cameras aren’t rolling, the alien king and I must work together to find out what’s really going on.
Is this mysterious package the reason we’re here? What’s the alien king hiding? Who invented sizzling-hot alien kings I can’t take my mind–or my hands–off of anyway?
The answers just might change us both forever.

A Killer Stalks Necromancer Academy #newrelease #darkfantasy
I’m so excited about this book! One of my favorite types of stories to write are revenge books, and I love this one so much. Here’s the delicious cover and what the book’s about!
A killer stalks the halls of Necromancer Academy…and I hope I won’t get caught.
Last spring, Dawn found her older brother dead in a pool of his blood. His killer stood over him, wearing a smile as sharp and ghastly as his knife.
Last summer, she tracked the killer down. He’s a student at Necromancer Academy and part of a secret fraternity known as the Diabolicals.
This fall, Dawn will scrap her admission to the prestigious White Magic Academy. She’ll trade sparkly healing charms and bright dresses for death charms and black cloaks. She’ll melt into the shadowy halls of Necromancer Academy.
And she will have her revenge.
Necromancer Academy is the first book in a four-book series. Each book ends in a cliffhanger.

First and Ten by @erinhayes5399 and @MargoBondCollin #rh #whychoose
When Madison Harte inherits a football team with three hot players who all want her, there’s one problem: when it comes to America’s favorite sport, she’s clueless.
I have the worst luck. Failed tech startup? Check. Cheating ex-boyfriend? Check. No idea what to do next? Check.
Then my Uncle Dusty passes away and leaves a whole football team to me. Never mind that I’ve never even seen a game. Who has time for that, right?
But I can sell the team and turn my life around, so I fly from San Francisco to Birmingham, Alabama, where I find a whole new level of football obsession—and start to develop a fascination of my own. Mostly with the three players who are very, very interested in me.
I never expected to find a team of my own. Or that there would be so many obstacles in our way.
Luckily, Madison won’t have to choose just one man in this contemporary reverse harem where Friday Night Lights and Bridget Jones collide and where—hallelujah—it’s still raining men.
Excerpt:
I was strong and capable and would get through this just fine.
And if that had to be my mantra for the next few weeks while I worked out how to sell the team, so be it.
I can do this. I can make it work.
I ignored the voice in the back of my head that said, “And if you can’t, maybe you can just find someone else to help you out.”
As I approached the rental car desk, the man working greeted me with a deep, soft, Southern accent, his vowels elongated and the A’s and I’s almost reversed. He checked the length of time I had arranged to rent the car
“One of our long-term rentals,” he noted. “What are you in town for?”
“Business,” I replied. “For a long time—maybe longer than I have the car rented for.” However long it took me to get the team ready to sell.
He nodded. “If you need to extend the rental, you can do that online.”
“Thanks.”
“Roll Tide or War Eagle?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.
Did that have something to do with extending the rental, too? “Pardon me?”
He repeated himself, and I stared back at him blankly.
“Alabama or Auburn?” he clarified, which wasn’t clarifying anything.
“I don’t know what that means.”
He rattled a plastic cup full of burgundy and orange flags. “I’m asking which team you go for. For a flag. For your car.”
I had no idea what I would do with a flag for my car, or how I was supposed to answer. “I am so sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I said.
He spoke very slowly, as if to someone who had a serious mental deficiency. “Your flag shows your support for the football team of your choice.”
Great. I was in one of the only states in the country where everyone had an opinion about football. Except maybe Texas. I had some vague idea that they might be as knowledgeable about football as people from Alabama. Then again, that might just have been because I knew Friday Night Lights was set there. Which I had never watched because it was about football.
It suddenly occurred to me that I did have a football team that I could go for. “I go for the Birmingham Yellowhammers,” I said brightly.
The rental agent shook his head sadly. But he reached under the counter and pulled out his small bucket of yellow flags. “Don’t get much call for these around here.”
“But this is Birmingham.”
“The Hammers suck.”

Crystal Casters: Awakening by @jennnixon #bookbirthday #ku
When Cyndra Raine inherits her grandmother’s crystal, she inadvertently awakens a lethal elemental force she doesn’t understand. Panicked and desperate, she flees the safety of her village, determined to find answers only to run into a man named Rune with the same abilities and questions.
Zorin has spent twenty-five years soaring over his island waiting for something, anything, to change. After sensing caster power he can’t ignore, he leaves the island and finds two casters under attack on the mainland. He’s shocked to learn Cyndra and Rune are ignorant of their lineage and the war that destroyed the world.
Intrigued by Cyndra and the immense power she possesses, Zorin promises her the truth about the past in exchange for her help. Inexplicably drawn to the winged man, Cyndra agrees to his terms and together they begin a journey that tests everything she knows about her world and discovers a connection to Zorin more profound than any she’s ever imagined.
Excerpt:
Long after sunset, the last straggler of the day walked up to the vegetable/fruit shelf and pulled two bananas off the pile. Cyndra readied a paper bag as she covertly eyed the older man, noticing the new pair of shoes hiding underneath his pristine jeans. She normally charged everyone the same, some lower if she knew they were in dire straits, but never more, regardless of what they wore or how clean they appeared.
“Pleasant evening,” he said, speaking softly and lifting his dark eyes to meet hers.
“New to Virginialand?”
“Passing through.” He paused at the counter offering no more and setting the fruit down. “Do you take the Zonecoins?”
“As a matter of fact I do,” she replied, smiling casually, hoping to make the sale, “but one is already too much for bananas.”
The man jerked his chin to her left. “How many for the bogwood box?”
“What’s bogwood?” Cyndra glanced over, furrowing her brow.
“Wood that’s cured in peat bogs, very rare these days and the carvings are…Six Zonecoins.”
“I’m sorry, it’s not for sale,” she said, motioning to the canned food section and trying to hide her disappointment. Zonecoins were like cowmeat to Southzoners. “I have a jewelry chest on the home goods cart.”
“Eight,” he said sharper, narrowing his eyes and moving closer to the box.
“Not for sale,” she reiterated and stretched to her full height, a couple inches taller than the old man.
His lip curled and his eyes flashed with anger. “You don’t even know what this is, what you have in your possession, do you?”
“The box?” Cyndra dropped her hand to her side, ready to grab her weapon, when the zone’s curfew warning alarm blared through the air.
“Your ignorance will destroy you,” he snapped, glancing back to the door. He had half an hour to get to wherever he needed to go. Everyone knew the penalty for traveling after curfew.
