Ravenfall

Two Down, One to Go…

Two Down, One to Go…

Past Me was insane. That’s all there is to it. To schedule three shows in three weeks? Bonkers. Two down, one to go. We got home from Necronomicon Tampa last night, and we have four days to reset before we reload the car for the Page and Pen Festival at the Oviedo Mall.

In the meantime, I’ve spent the day getting my end of quarter admin work done. Q3 taxes are in, and the kanban board is reset for Q4.

How the heck is it Q4 already?

The most brain-draining thing I have to do this week, other than working on Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas, is that I have to choose a new headshot. My old one (the one currently in my media kit and on my about the author page) is ten years old and approaching “if you’re in publishing long enough, your headshot will be your greatest work of fiction” territory. Time for a new one. But WHICH ONE? I have four potentials, and that’s about as far as I got in narrowing it down.

If any of you have strong feelings about the matter, let me know! Once I have it narrowed down to one (or two), I’ll update the media kit and the website.

The new covers for Blood of the Raven are live, and they are GORGEOUS! Remember, if you have read Princes of Air or Raven’s Fall, you’ve read books one and two already. But if you want your books to match, you want these. Book three comes out October 18th.

But for now… back to work!

Preorder Now!

A hero. A son of Eire. A reckoning long overdue.

Lorcan never asked for glory. Crowned a noble and hailed as a savior after crushing rebellion, he walks the marble halls adored by all—except himself. Haunted by prophetic visions, he sees not triumph, but torment: his family caged, his homeland threatened, and his cousin’s dark ambitions on the rise.

He knows where he must go.

Leaving behind the splendor of Empire, Lorcan returns to the emerald wilds of Eire, where ancient magic stirs and old loyalties are tested. Beside him stand his mates and his chosen kin—fierce, loyal, and willing to follow him into the heart of danger. But the blood that binds can also betray, and the most dangerous enemy may not be on the battlefield… but seated at his own family’s table.

Let’s Do It Again!!!

Let’s Do It Again!!!

Smut Lovers Conference was amazingly fun. How much fun? Enough to say let’s do it again! We’ll be back for 2026!

I think this might be the furthest out I’ve ever scheduled an event.

I am… so incredibly fuzzy today. More than just the usual “It’s Monday and I had PT this morning” fuzziness. I’m still recovering from Smut Lovers and that incredible signing. I have never felt so appreciated as an author than I did at Smut Lovers — I had readers saying “Thank you for writing these books! Here, have a present!” (We were given candy, bookmarks, jewelry, and the cutest tiny little ducks!) That was so completely unexpected, and so very sweet!

All of the new covers for the Blood of the Raven books are now live — you can buy ebooks of Ravenborn and Ravenfall, and the ebook for Ravenflight is up for preorder. I’m not sure when the paperbacks will be available, but I’ll let you all know when they are!

On to the next show! Time to repack the book boxes, LABEL the book boxes, and get ready for Necronomicon!

Tomorrow. I’ll do that tomorrow.

Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3…2…1!

Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3…2…1!

It’s Monday the 15th. Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3… 2… 1…

I’m mostly ready. The books are packed. The scooter is ready to load. I got my hair trimmed today and I’m doing my color tomorrow (my hair will be purple when you see me at Smut Lovers.) I still have to pick an outfit for my headshot appointment and for the signing, and I might stop and see about buying shoes tomorrow, if I have time.

Yes, that headshot will soon be going away. I forget who it was who said that if you keep writing long enough, eventually your headshot will be your greatest work of fiction. I’m not there yet, but it’s getting close (I’m not sure how long it’s been since that photo was taken, but I think we’re approaching double digits.)

I won’t have copies of the new covers of Ravenborn and Ravenfall on the table yet, nor will I have them for any of the three shows I’m doing in September and October. They will be in by Maker Faire, I hope (or, even better, by the Ravenflight new release signing at Spellbound on November 1st!).

It’s strange to think that the series that started with my first book is going to be officially complete in a month. I never thought Princes of Air/Ravenborn was going to be more than a standalone. Shows what I know, I guess. You never really can guess where your characters will take you, and mine seem especially willful. I had no idea Lorcan even existed for something like five years after Princes of Air/Ravenborn came out, and I didn’t know his story for a few years after that. (Otherwise known as why it was so long between book one and book two.)

I can’t wait to see what you all think about how this series wraps up!
