October Reads Abound!
October 17, 2020
Warm-You-Up Reads
October is my fave time of year, as y'all know! For the last few I've been doing Witchy Boys installments... and now, at last, they're all together, available at Amazon, on KU, and in print! All six sexy, spooky tales in one place, for your enjoyment. check it out!
Cover by Natasha Snow
But wait, there's more! A fabulous shifter collection is also on KU and Amazon for an absolute steal right now. It contains a story of mine about a very confused West Virginian coyote shifter, Open Season. This is a limited edition collection, so grab it while it's hot!
Including JS Bright, Melissa E Costa, Nicole Dennis, Kelly Fox, Jessie G, Miski Harris, Katey Hawthorne, Kris Jacen, Jacki James, Kim Katil, K-Lee Klein, Lynn Michaels, Megs Prichard, Victoria Sue, TL Travis, Sara York--and for one more day only on sale for 2.99. Price goes up to 5.99 tomorrow! (Unless you have KU, but hey!)
Coming Soon...
Remember to check the coming soon page and my Facebook Group for all the news about what's happening next! Now that the flurry of October releases is calming down, I'm really looking forward to my first release with JMS books--and my second (or third, if you count The Mistell!) contemporary novel--Poor Little Rich Boy. Look for it in December, wooo~
Also coming soon, my first ever audio book: Alchemiya, read by Jill Smith!
Alchemiya is back! + Update~
October 7, 2018
When I began plotting the second book to take place in the fantasy country of Chrysopoeia a few weeks ago, I realized I'd better work on getting the first book, Alchemiya, up and running again! Since Loose Id closed earlier in the year it's been languishing on my hard drive! But now it's back and better than ever, with a new edition. If you own the first edition, don't worry, it's only cosmetic changes to the text in this new one, so you're good to go. If you don't, hey, now's a great time for some cute fantasy/regency "marriage of convenience" wlw fun!
Eugenia was born to privilege in the Ratna clan, nobility famed for their alchemical jewel production. Eugenia’s a talented alchemist herself—but the patriarchy insists her less able brother is the heir to the family secrets and property. As if that weren’t insult enough, an accidentally public tryst with another woman means Genie is shunned by polite society altogether.
Enter the gorgeous Lord Oliver Plumtree, scion of one of the oldest alchemical families in Chrysopoeia and master of the foreboding Waldgrave Abbey. But Lord Oliver is actually Olivia, and on the lookout for a wife—one who requires an escape from the same crushing social mores that have forced Olivia to masquerade as her own long-dead brother to keep her family’s estate intact.
Genie and Liv seem a perfect match from the get-go, and things heat up quickly between them. But before they can carry off their marriage of convenience, Waldgrave Abbey reveals more secrets. Jealous Plumtree relatives and Liv’s association with the Secret Society of Alchemiya, rumored to be a dark and sinister arm of the patriarchy, might just ruin Genie and Liv’s chance at their unlikely happily ever after.
Ever since Alchemiya first appeared, I've known there would be at least two books, if not three. The second book will return to familiar characters--it's told by Charlotte "Cherry" Plumtree, Liv's younger sister, in fact. I can't wait to make it happen, so I'm super glad Alchemiya is back!
Check out some excerpts and reviews at the book's page, or jump straight to the good part and order yourself a copy!
In other news, Touch Up is still up for pre-order this week! It comes out next week, so be sure and snag your copy--and one of Vanessa North's Off Limits, the first book in the Rose & Thorns world! As far as wlw romance goes, Touch Up, is in some ways the opposite of Alchemiya. It's intense, with deeply flawed characters and real world, immediate issues tearing that the relationship. I'm super proud of it and the work J.A. Rock and I did on it, so check it out if that's your cup of tea!
Warnings for body issues, eating disorders, racism, drug use, body shaming, sexism... the stuff you'd expect from Hollywood, but it comes out right in the end.
Also, if you know any reviewers that do WLW books, please send them my way! I'd love to get these books into the hands of people who are into either fluffy or angsty WLW action. (I mean, I say it's angsty, but Touch Up features a wyvern dildo, so it has some laughs in it too.)
It's October, yay! If you're looking for some creepy-yet-sexy reads for these fabulous Autumn nights, have I got the thing for you. My Witchy Boys are here and ready to go!
Unfortunately, there's no new edition for 2018, but the last two years' are still kicking and ready to light up the dark nights. (More next year, I promise!) Each book contains two stories chock full of magic, zombies, and witchcraft of all kinds. For the month of October, the first Witchy Boys is available FOR FREE via Fangs, Fur, and Immortals, a giveaway at BookFunnel with loads of great Paranormal Romances up for grabs! What's the catch? You have the option to sign up for the authors' mailing lists. That's it, really!
I'll have free copies of Witchy Boys with me at GRL too, plus some epic swag, but more on that later. See you in Virginia ♥

Alchemiya Tour Wrap Up + Halloweeeeeeeen Stories
October 13, 2016
Thanks so much to everyone who dropped in and checked out the ALCHEMIYA blog tour. It was so much fun--and I'm so excited about this whole new world to explore. Because, yeah. There will be more. Two more... that I know of! ♥
While I was hopping around the internet, Some great reviews came in!
Kym Palmer at Rainbow Reviews says (rather enthusiastically): A very enjoyable read and I already wish book two was available.
Dee at Love Bytes says (with slightly more reservations): People who enjoy historical settings, with scientific lingo, engaging heroines, and a side of spice, will more than likely enjoy ‘Alchemiya ‘.
Holly at The Lesbrary says (so sweetly, I thought): The author knows how to spin a good yarn, and gives us a protagonist that is sometimes delightful, sometimes petulant, and sometimes both of these things at once.
I love all these sites, so this is amazing, for me. Yay!
Interest in who won the giveaway? Check out the tour starter day party and scroll down!
But as they say, there's no rest for the... well, you know. In honor of my favorite holiday, I've got something special cooking up. It's two novelettes tied up with an neat bow, and it's called Witchy Boys: Sexy Stories for Dark Nights. Blood Magic and the Mini Zombie Apocalypse is brand new, never before seen material! And Præsidium is an updated reprint about two of my faves. More about the upcoming book tour this weekend, but for now...
Check it out:
Just in time for Halloween! Two novelettes about men with magic—and the occasional demon.
Blood Magic and the Mini Zombie Apocalypse
Griff has a bad habit of getting talked into black magic he shouldn’t be using—but this time it’s even worse. His ex is bent on revenge in the form of a mini zombie apocalypse, and the only person who can help Griff is a hottie white magic practitioner named Blythe. The catch: one of Griff’s spells gone wrong left Blythe with a haunted apartment a year ago, and Blythe isn’t over it.
Still, Blythe agrees to work with Griff. As they unravel the ugly blood, sex, and death magic, they also discover surprising things about each other. Hopefully, it’s enough for the ultimate trust they’ll need to defeat a lot of zombies and a crazed witch, or their town will end up covered in corpses.
Præsidium
Six years ago, Thackeray agreed to let a demon haunt him in exchange for help hunting other demons. It's a lonely life, but worth it to be the best demon hunter possible -- to save families from the kind of evil that ruined his own childhood.
This Hallowe'en, Thackeray's dealing with an upstart coven. A powerful, pretty witch named Matt defects to help Thackeray stop their scheme to invite god-knows-what from the other side.
Demons are much easier to fight than the urges Matt's flirting inspires. But Thackeray can't hook up with a demon watching over his shoulder... can he?
Coming October 18, 2016. Pre-order now at Amazon.com, All Romance eBooks, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, or Smashwords.
Bloggy Alchemy
September 26, 2016
So the Alchemiya Blog Tour is out in full force now, and there's still lots of time to enter the giveaway for gift cards! Drop by any of the posts and check it out. And may I recommend yesterday's stop at Love in a Time of Feminism (a site both Eugenia and Olivia would love, tyvm), where they posed an excellent question for my guest post:
Great stuff, huh?
While I still haunt tumblr daily--and twitter most days--I'm still pretty facebook-shy. The circle of friends on there is great, but the site has always rubbed me the wrong way with a lot of its policies. I get most of my blogging out here or at tumblr, but there's something slightly stand-offish about both. That's why I decided to start an Imzy community--which is really just a personal blog. There, I'm going to be blogging a lot more as-I-write kind of stuff, slightly more personal than what happens here. Imzy will be the place for tl;dr stuff, basically, which I tend not to post here because... well, tbh it's the stuff I doubt is of interest to most.
But if you are someone who enjoys talking about the process of writing, seeing how others write, participating in random fandom stuff, or if you just feel like keeping up with me on a slightly more personal (read: seeing me fangirl) level, check it out and friend me!

Alchemiya Extras and Giveaways!

Still a few days left on those giveaways, so hop in and let me know what you think.

Alchemiya is here, and jam packed with all the fun things mentioned in that subject line, I assure you. Check out the page here at the Superpowered Love site, or hit it up at Loose Id for more excerpts. There will be more fun later in the week, and then in the month. But for now, check it out!
~~ALCHEMIYA~~
Eugenia was born to privilege in the Ratna clan, nobility famed for their alchemical jewel production. Eugenia’s a talented alchemist herself--but the patriarchy insists her less able brother is the heir to the family secrets and property. As if that weren’t insult enough, an accidentally public tryst with another woman means Genie is shunned by polite society altogether.
Enter the gorgeous Lord Oliver Plumtree, scion of one of the oldest alchemical families in Chrysopoeia and master of the foreboding Waldgrave Abbey. But Lord Oliver is actually Olivia, and on the lookout for a wife--one who requires an escape from the same crushing social mores that have forced Olivia to masquerade as her own long-dead brother to keep her family’s estate intact.
Genie and Liv seem a perfect match from the get-go, and things heat up quickly between them. But before they can carry off their marriage of convenience, Waldgrave Abbey reveals more secrets. Jealous Plumtree relatives and Liv’s association with the Secret Society of Alchemiya, rumored to be a dark and sinister arm of the patriarchy, might just ruin Genie and Liv’s chance at their unlikely happily ever after.

Coming this week: Alchemiya!
September 4, 2016
It's time, it's time! I've been keeping quiet about this one so I could announce it as a fait accompli. Now all that all the pieces are in place, let me tell you just how excited I am about my new f/f novella, the beginning of a new multi-ship series: Alchemiya.
Isn't she gorgeous? :D Here are the details:

Jealous Plumtree relatives and Liv’s association with the Secret Society of Alchemiya, rumored to be a dark and sinister arm of the patriarchy, might just ruin Genie and Liv’s chance at their unlikely happily ever after.
Alchemiya is based in a universe where, rather than nobility being indicated by land and title, it's indicated by a family's alchemical knowledge. But there are layers to peel back on how and why it's that way, and how just the set up really is. Leave it to Eugenia Ratna to discover the truth--while in the middle of arrangements for a marriage of convenience.
I hope you'll give it a try, and I hope you enjoy Genie. She's a lil ball of sass. And Livvie isn't too shabby, either. It's all happening this Tuesday, September 6th, at Loose Id. For more info and excerpts, check out the Alchemiya page right here at Superpowered Love. ♥
