Guess what? I have finally finished ‘Temple of Magic and Bone’! It was meant to be a novella and it ended up being about 60 k words lol. Why am I like this? I don’t know either. It’s been a weird couple of months but writing this story has been such a joy. I’ve decided to release the whole thing on my Ream Stories in one go because I just can’t wait for people to read it. If you want early access to it, go and check it out here.
Okay! Because TOMAB is done, I’m going to do a sneaky Amazon release of ‘Dancing with Daggers’ this coming month. Hurray!
Here is a blurb:
She was hired to find the perfect heir for a powerful vampire house. It’s a pity that the most eligible candidate is also the sexiest, most infuriating man she’s ever met.
All Zia wants is to use her truth magic to get ahead in life and maybe own her dream apartment in Florence. When a lucrative contract lands in her lap that’s going to give her both, how can she refuse?
She’s going to have to convince the most ruthless vampire heirs that she’s one of them and not get taken out as competition in the process. It should be easy, except Ares Volso isn’t as gullible as the rest of his family, and he’s going to make her job as hard as possible.
Zia isn’t about to let an arrogant alpha hole stand in her way, no matter how smoldering he is. Ares is about to teach her that there’s so much more to him than what he has let the whole world see…and that he isn’t above playing just as dirty as her to get exactly what he wants.
This stand-alone novella is based in the Inferno world, featuring a scorching hate-at-first-sight romance, loads of banter, and two MCs that can’t stand to lose. Please note that it does contain violence, swearing, and spicy scenes.

Hehehe this story is so damn FUN.
I’m feeling really refreshed and about to jump head-first into writing ‘Laverna.’ I have a feeling she and Rom are going to give me a real run for my money. They are both terrors, and I love them, as well as the chaos they are going to bring to the Gods’ family.
Thank you to everyone who has also reached out to check in on me. I’m doing a lot better since my last email. My family life has settled a bit, and finishing off writing a book has helped me feel steadier and more normal.
Because the world in general seems terrifying again I’m going to have the “The Wrath of the Fae” boxset free on the 31st (tomorrow/ today) and 1st of June. Giving away free shit is how I cope with stress so if you have any friends that are in need of some comfort reading and escapism, please let them know about the sale. They can grab it here!
Also, if you dearest darling readers need something fresh for your Kindles, two of my besties have just had some books drop, and both are all myth-based goodness.
The always awesome Molly Tullis has released ‘The Dread Queens Bargain’, which is a Hades and Persephone novella in her Asphodel series. It’s more ancient world romance retellings of a bunch of Greek myths and all are deliciously smutty.
And Amy Kuivalainen (who just got her rights back off her trad overlords, hurray!) has released ‘The Immortal City‘ into KU! It is an urban fantasy series with sexy romance that is based in Venice and goes into all the very cool Atlantis mythology we know and love. Found family vibes are perfection (I want to make out with every character in it) and the magic is awesome.
I hope you will check them both out. They are great fun if you need some time away from reality.
Make sure you’re taking care of yourselves out there. I’ll be back as soon as ‘Dancing with Daggers’ drops.
