Blog postThe e-book retailer Smashwords has organized a special sale, called “Authors Give Back.” According to their website: “This sale is the direct result of several Smashwords authors requesting that Smashwords run a special sale. These authors wanted to show their support to readers who now face unprecedented social isolation, anxiety and economic hardship as a result of the world response to the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Blog postSeveral years ago, I published this fantasy romance with Loose Id. Sadly, the publishing company shut down, but I have the rights back on this story and have been eager to get it ready to share with everyone once more. I did some light revisions, especially to the ending, and of course, I had to get a new cover.
I know I shouldn’t have favorites, but I have a special place in my heart for the hero of this story, Madoc. I hope you all enjoy meeting him as much as I enjoyed writing abou11 months ago Read more -

Blog postI wasn’t entirely happy with the cover I had created earlier, especially after how I saw how it looked on a print version. So I commissioned a new cover for Rebel Run from Bookable Covers.

Blog postFirst, I’ve taken “Time After Time” down from Amazon. I’ve decided that I’m going to focus strictly on romance from here on out, so there’s no point in having that as my lone erotica title available under this pen name. I still love the characters and story however, and may revisit them at a later time, with a more proper romance plot-line.
Second, I will be doing a cover reveal for my science fiction romance, “Rebel Run” in a couple of days. It will be available for order later this4 years ago Read more -

Blog postI apologize for dropping off the face of the internet again for the last month and a half. My wrist was flaring really badly and I had to further limit the time I spent on the computer.
The nerve conduction test found that I have cubital tunnel syndrome, rather than carpal tunnel syndrome. Similar sort of problem, but the compression point on the nerve is in the elbow and the symptoms appear on the opposite side of the wrist from carpal tunnel. That doesn’t explain all of the pain I’m5 years ago Read more

The Queen's Assassin

$2.99
Killing was his life. Then he met the one woman he could not destroy…
It was supposed to be an easy job. Get in, assassinate the queen, and get out. Things didn’t go as planned and now Madoc is chained in the royal dungeon, fighting his unwelcome attraction to the woman who defeated him: the queen’s bodyguard, Raine. When she interrogates him, he propositions her: He’ll tell her what he knows if she’ll spend one night of passion with him.
Deception and deceit have kept her alive. Yet one man tempts her to lower her guard…
Raine isn’t just a bodyguard, she’s the queen hiding behind an enchanted disguise. Turmoil over the succession has threatened her country for years. Her priorities should be to find herself a proper consort and ensure the continuation of her line. She shouldn’t be charmed by a deadly assassin with a sharp tongue and a sharper wit, no matter how her body burns for his…
One night will never be enough for either of them, but the shadowy conspiracy that looms over Raine’s throne hasn’t ended. She’ll need magic—and all the power of her unlikely connection with her would-be killer—to keep what is hers.
(Author’s Note: This book was previously published. It has been lightly revised and updated from the last version.)

He broke her heart. Now his life is in her hands…
Project Phoenix. Secret. Illegal. Crossing the line between life and death.
If Dr. Elisa Nakano refuses to join, she’ll lose her job. If the truth about the project becomes public, she’ll lose her career. But if the experiment fails, she’ll have to watch the man she loves die again. And if it succeeds, she has no reason to believe that he’ll stay…
Asteroid racing was a young man’s game. A single man’s game. Falling in love was a distraction, one Dante Goshawk knew he couldn’t afford. So when his relationship with a brilliant scientist grew too intense, he broke it off. And ended up dying anyway. Now that he's back from the dead, he realizes the woman he pushed away is the only one he’s ever loved. But Elisa isn't so eager to give him another chance.
The clock is ticking on Dante’s recovery. A new experiment, an android pilot designed for the asteroid racing circuit, needs his memories and his consciousness to make it complete. And some are willing to kill--again--to make the technological leap a reality.
Though Phoenix Rising is the second book in the series, it follows a different set of characters from the first book and can be read as a stand-alone.

When duty and passion collide, they could lose everything...
No one knows that Malkyn is a princess, and that’s just the way she wants it. Unwilling to be a pawn in her family’s deadly power struggles, she fled across the galaxy. But now Keitera is under siege by a mysterious alien force, and the tall, muscular soldier with whom she shared an unforgettable night of forbidden passion has arrived to escort her home.
As a commoner and a member of the Royal Guard, Ty never should have touched a princess. After she left, he threw himself into his duties. His responsibilities. And tried to forget her. But when ordered to bring her back to their planet, he jumps at the chance. Even though he knows the risks to her safety and to his heart…
Leaving him behind the first time nearly destroyed her. Making a permanent return means possibly forfeiting Ty’s life. But as deception and violence flare up all around her, there is no one else that Malkyn can trust. Will their bond be enough to save their world and their love? Or will the fires of war burn them both to ashes?

Jaren wants just one last thing from the Ranvara system: to finalize his divorce from the woman who tried to kill him. When he discovers that the young woman who saved him—his former wife’s personal slave—is about to be auctioned off, he knows he can’t leave her behind. His only intention is to buy her freedom, but the position she is being offered up for means that things aren’t quite as simple as he had hoped.
Taimi thought she had made peace with her fate, willing to pay any personal price as long as she knows Jaren is alive and safe. When he buys her contract, she thinks it’s a dream come true. But after the one night together required by the slave market, he makes it clear that she has no place in his life as a lover. She can either join the crew of his spaceship as an employee or say good-bye to him forever.
Then Jaren’s ex-wife breaks out of prison. Suspecting that Jaren and Taimi might have assisted her in her escape, Ranvaran officials impound Jaren’s ship, leaving them stranded. Vulnerable to a mad sorceress’ revenge—and their own growing feelings.
