Happy Book Birthday, Fae! 🎉

The ebook is here! *Happy dance* 🥳

Stephanie holds up a coffee cup from a local coffee shop.

To celebrate, I hopped over to my favorite toy/coffee shop and grabbed my usual banana bread latte…

Which I might have alluded to in the story (even though the location is technically different).

Here’s a tiny snippet from one of the later chapters, where Verdi is working through one of the Fae judges’ impossible trials:

(I redacted the name of one of the characters since that might be a bit of a spoiler).

Gray morning light filters through the bedroom window, tinted red by the bricks of the building next door. There’s not room for more than a narrow alley, but it’s better than nothing.

I pace beside the bed, my hands wrapped around the paper sleeve of the banana bread latte Mr. Jacob bought for me from a local toymaker’s coffee shop. The latte is sweet, but not overly so, with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg… and with extra espresso since my augments filter out part of the caffeine before it can provide any focus.

((REDACTED))’s map overlays my vision as I commit it to memory, but there’s something… off… about it I can’t place. I twist my lips. Normally I’d check in with one of the other huntresses to get their opinions, but I’m not sure if they’re being watched. ((REDACTED)) didn’t say anything about me needing to keep this deal discreet, but I’d still prefer not to tell anyone I don’t trust completely.

Interested in knowing who she’s working with?

Wondering what happens once she follows that questionable map?

Choose one of these retailers to buy the ebook!

(Note: If your library has Libby, you can request for them to get a copy for you to read that way!)

✨ Fae ✨

Anyway, I’m off to enjoy my coffee! But if you’ve been waiting to find out what happens next to Verdi, that wait is over!

🪈Pre-order Fae! (Huntress 3 is almost here!)

Ahh! After seven years, book three is finally here! 😃 (Or will be in a couple days – July 28th!)

And the ebook is now available for pre-order!

✨ Fae ✨

(Huntress #3)

✨

✨

Stripped of her toxins and on trial for a crime she regrets, Verdi is no longer a huntress.

Maria, the woman she loves, bears the scar Verdi gave her. She has forgiven Verdi, but Verdi hasn’t forgiven herself. Determined to set things right, Verdi now stands before two capricious, nanite-enhanced Fae judges who deal in impossible tasks. Their first task? Spin a corrupt company’s data into marketing gold.

Something a huntress was never trained to do.

But the judges have enemies, and a broken bargain provides Verdi with unlikely allies: a silver-tongued dealmaker seeking a name the Fae erased, and a rogue hacker with a grudge, whose augmented theatrics lure his victims exactly where he wants them.

If Verdi fails the trials, the judges won’t just rob Maria of justice. They’ll reprogram Verdi’s mind and make her their perfect, beautiful weapon, incapable of being anything but a huntress.

Can Verdi assert her own voice before the Fae make her dance to their song?

✨

Continue Verdi’s tale in this Rumpelstiltskin/Pied Piper retelling…

Order your copy today and get it July 28th!

Happy reading! 📚

🍎 Huntress is 99 cents!

With the upcoming release of Fae, book three in the Huntress series, (July 28th! less than a week away!) I’ve decided to temporarily drop the ebook price of Huntress from $3.99 to 99 cents! 😄

Which means if you haven’t read Huntress yet, now is the perfect time to grab a copy!

✨ Huntress ✨

Her touch is poison.

Verdi is a huntress for Koenigin Corp. She’s augmented. Perfect.

Determined to earn her dear president’s favor and finally have her voice heard, Verdi agrees to target Maria Snow, the favored candidate of the Society for Natural Progression, in an acid attack.

After all, once Maria is no longer so lovely, surely she’ll accept the nanite-based technology that can remove her scar—thus branding her as a traitor to her cause.

But when Maria Snow refuses treatment and Verdi catches her secretly meeting with an enhanced, sapient bird, she realizes Snow might be the one woman who can forge an alliance between the technology-loving corporations and the nature-oriented Progressionists.

Forced to choose between loyalty to the corporation who raised her, and falling in love with the woman who could finally unite the two factions, Verdi’s decision will change the face of the city.

Will Verdi choose loyalty or love?

Grab the ebook for only 99 cents!

Happy reading! 📚

As part of the launch, you can grab your copy of book one, Deceived, for free! 🌊

Now… for Betrayed…

Here’s what’s coming:

🤫 – Secrets… (like… let’s not tell the suspiciously enthusiastic leader about Erin’s reality bending powers)
🌄 – An isolated desert community… (post-apocalyptic vibes, anyone?)
🌊 – Superpowers! (More water manipulation, and now powers are in the open! Well, mostly. See above about Erin’s powers)
And… a cute, sort-of-but-not-actually-a-goat, goat! 🐐

Pre-order the ebook at your favorite retailer:

“Welcome to the Kariz! A new Communuity. Safe, secure, and above all, transparent!”

In the Community, every citizen has a purpose. Unfortunately for Galina, that purpose involved secret plans for turning her into a monster. Now, after a harrowing escape from a treacherous transformation facility, Galina’s only hope for safety lies in the Kariz, a nearby desert settlement surrounded by towering fences, barbed wire, and impassable mountains.

But it’s not her own safety she’s worried about. Her sister still lives in the Community, and one of her fellow escapees has a dangerous, untrained reality-bending power that the facility’s agents tried to kill her for.

So, when the settlement’s suspiciously enthusiastic leader promises Galina a chance to build a new life at the Kariz—while her reality-bending friend insists she senses something… off… about this place—Galina refuses to settle in. She needs to warn her sister about the transformation facility and protect her newfound friends.

But Galina has only just begun to understand this strange, different world. Will her friend’s untamed power reveal them before Galina can befriend the allies they need to uncover the truth about this settlement?

Investigate what secrets the Kariz hides… pre-order Betrayed today!

Happy reading! 📚
