Beyond Romance - News from Author L. Shannon View in browser  Shannon's website Shannon on Amazon Shannon on Facebook Beyond Romance March 3, 2025 Hello all my peeps and pups. The weather has been improving a bit here in Western PA. It gets me  excited about all the upcoming farm projects. With the birds, ponds and garden, it's bound to be wonderfully busy. Oh, and this will be year four with the orchard too. We might get our first harvest. Here it is the third of March and I'm already thinking about harvest. Writing is coming along after a short bumpy patch. I was hoping to be finishing the Amethyst Unveiled edits around now but I'm still in the drafting stage. My characters decided to be a bit naughty which led to a delay. But the good news is their naughtiness will likely lead to a couple short side stories which I will share with you all first. Read more and enjoy some sunshine! ~ Shannon Upcoming Events 3/9: Vendor Fair (book signing) - Indiana PA in the mall. 4/6: Spring Bazaar - Indiana PA. 4/25: Amethyst Unveiled TBA: Bound by Amethyst - The Amethyst Collection Amethyst Update. Amethyst Bound Now available  $0.99 Amethyst Reborn  Now available. $0.99 Amethyst Unveiled Releases April 25th PRE-ORDER This month I will be featuring the three novellas in the ACACIA trilogy. Read more about them below. I was all prepared to share how they were an outlier in my book universe because they are currently my only futuristic sci-fi stories. But then I realized that isn't true. I also have Forever Eden and a few more outlined for future projects. I guess my book universe covers everything from my Origin stories set in mythic pre-history all the way to ACACIA set 1000 years from now. Though most are set in modern and recent historic times. Shifter Romance My werewolf stories tend to be action based male/female committed love stories. They will often involve strong family bonds and show characters overcoming painful pasts in order to find love. Vampires and Demons My demon and vampire stories tend to be spicy and sexy, full of passion and danger. These could be male/female, male/male, or and variety of pairings that the characters enjoy.  Sweet Paranormal Yes, I do write some sweet stories too. These are often short stories and can showcase a more innocent kind of romance that will usually still result in a sweeter kind of passion. Featured this Week ACACIA I: Abducting Aeron He'd risk everything for the mission. She'd do the same for his heart. Aeron To protect my people, I went undercover among the humans. One of our most respected doctors had gone missing. Finding him might lead to the dangerous group that had been endangering the fragile truce between the humans on the planet and the vampires on the moon colony. Failure was not an option. I know exactly how important the mission is. So why do I keep allowing myself to be distracted by my planet-side contact? My success is just as important to her. So why does she insist on being so damn irresistible? Helia He's a vampire and I'm human. Our people fought a long blood war over our planet and barely manage to maintain any sort of peace. But I need him and he needs me. It should be about that simple give and take. I keep him hidden and safe while he finds my missing father. But there is nothing simple about what I feel for him. I yearn for his touch just as much as he hungers for my blood. Being together is a crime but I can't help to imagine staying by his side. Leaving my family and planet behind. Following him to the vampire colony and becoming his... nothing more than a slave...? Abducting Aeron is a fast paced futuristic sci-fi m/f vampire romance novella, the first in the ACACIA trilogy.

Beyond Romance - News from Author L. Shannon View in browser  Shannon's website Shannon on Amazon Shannon on Facebook Beyond Romance February 17, 2025 Hello all my peeps. We had a glimpse of hope (spring) and then back into the fray (of winter). Yep, its still winter here in Western PA. Just like that dang groundhog (and the calendar) said it would be. So it's back to carrying water and breaking ice and shoveling snow. Still hubby has the maple buckets set up so I'm looking forward to pancakes with homemade syrup in a month or so. The writing is coming along nicely but I've been struggling with an old bad habit. I keep getting distracted by other stories that I'd love to chase after for a while. Some of you longtime reader peeps might remember my early days when I would start several different series and not focus on what at a time. Yep, those were some lovely joyful dark days. For four years I've been good. So don't get worried just because I'm yearning for the good ol' days of naughty ADHD writing. Amethyst Reborn is releasing this Friday, February 21st. If you haven't grabbed that pre-order yet, what are you waiting for? Read book two while I finish up book three. Read more and dream of something warm! ~ Shannon Upcoming Events 2/21: Amethyst Reborn 3/9: Producers & Makers Market - Indiana, PA 4/6: Spring Bazaar - Indiana PA. 4/25: Amethyst Unveiled TBA: Bound by Amethyst - The Amethyst Collection July: EC4: Guardian August: EC5: Song of Sorrow September:  EC6: Hunted Amethyst Update. After giving it some thought I've decided to reduce the price on the Amethyst stories to make up for the slight delay in the release. All three books will be reduced to just $0.99 each for order and pre-order until I finish releasing all three and the Collection. After that all three will go to $2.99 and be enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.  Amethyst Bound Now available  $0.99 Amethyst Reborn  Releases February 21st. PRE-ORDER Amethyst Unveiled Releases April 25th PRE-ORDER Book 1:  Blood and Blessings She was one temptation he didn't know how to resist. $0.99 Book 2: Blood Reign He let her escape once. This time he'd hold her forever. $0.99 Book 3: Blood Justice Bound by blood, destiny and a love darker than death. Free Today! Featured this Week Blood Royals: book three Blood Justice He was ready for death if he couldn't have redemption. After Sadaen tires of seeking vengeance, all that remains is his longing for justice and the slim possibility of redemption. He finds both in the arms of an angel determined to execute him. Lyna is convinced he deserves to die, and she’ll do anything to bring him to that final justice, even if it means betraying everything she holds dear. Despite their long history of combat, he’s sure that only Lyna can offer him a future worthy of his past. He’ll either burn as the rogue demon he’s become or redeem himself through the flames of her passion. His only hope is to bind them together with a deal that could destroy them both. Blood Justice is the third and final novella in the Blood Royals trilogy. "Overall, *Blood Justice* is a gripping, emotional ride that I’d recommend to fans of dark paranormal romance or anyone who enjoys morally complex characters and high-stakes drama." *mentalhealthpulp Triggers and warnings: violence, vivid emotional battle scenes, discussions of loss and suicide, enemy to lover. Six Sentence Sunday (opening) Dead. Raylina, his wife and mate of countless centuries, was dead and gone. Sadaen’s demon heart cried out at the unexpected cruelty. How could she be taken? Why? Questions swirled through him, but each was a knife slashing through his soul. Free Today! If you have time, please leave a review or rating for Blood Justice. After its release in 2022, this story has had lots of readers but very few ratings and no reviews. I'd love to see what you think of this dark paranormal romance.
