Beyond Romance - News from Author L. Shannon View in browser  Shannon's website Shannon on Amazon Shannon on Facebook Beyond Romance March 10, 2025 Hello all my peeps and pups. Wow, yesterday was one heck of a great day. I went into it feeling fairly anxious about trying to do too much. It was the first of the monthly farm swap meet of the year. And I had some juvenile turkeys that have been eating their weight in feed weekly. They needed new homes and couldn't miss out on the chance to meet their new owners. But of course I was also invited to a craft and vendor event in the nearby mall. How could I make it work? Simple -- pack everything in the van, go to the swap from 8 am until noon and then head to the craft fair from noon until 5 pm. Somehow it all worked out. Sold out at the swap early. All the bratty turkey babies found wonderful new homes. And met some wonderful new readers at the mall. Tammy, the book lover! And Norman, it was fun talking about local authors. Chatting with readers is always so much fun. Hopefully I'll get to meet more of you at upcoming events. I can't wait. Read more and meet someone new! ~ Shannon Upcoming Events Spring Bazaar - Indiana PA.

From desperation to lover. Med. Blake With our people driven to the brink of survival, all that can keep us alive is the blood supply grudgingly provided by the planet-side humans. I'm the one responsible for the care of people and supplies coming through the port of the Acacia moon colony. It's my duty to keep my vampire brethren safe and healthy. Not just the vampires but the humans among us too. Every life is precious. What if the worst-case scenario comes to pass? What if the blood supply is tampered with, driving the rational vampires to the edge of blood starved madness?  Dash He's my master, my owner and the only family I've ever known. Med. Blake holds every drop of my respect, and affection, but he's never once taken my blood. Or my body. Instead he's raised me like his child, treated me like his friend and respected me like a comrade. And I want more.  None of my willful desires matter, until the day he consumes poisoned blood. Then there is only one truth. He has to live, even if it costs me everything. Blindsided is the second story in the Acacia trilogy. This series has mixed pairing romances. Blindside is boylove, male/male.

Beyond Romance 3/3/25

 

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. If you love action based enemies to lovers with paranormal intrigue and plenty of spice, you'll love Abducting Aeron. Free today. New Author Shares!
