Mowing, mischief, and 99¢ wolves!

 












Beyond Romance


Mowing, mischief, and 99¢ wolves!
October 12, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

This week has been warm, windy outside and a strange mix of calm and crazy busy. I'm still doing my best to take  care of hubby, but fortunately he's recovering well. I am reminded once more that I'm not great at the housewife gig. Capable enough to keep us alive, but not much more than that.

Fall always gives me a sense of urgency. Every sunny day means working outside as much as possible. I mowed, mowed and mowed some more. So much mowing. But the only part still in serious need is the field that is supposed to be grazed down by the pony and goats. They are not holding up their job, but one good mow should make it more manageable until spring.

Yesterday I sent out an ARC invitation for Vali's Curse. If you missed it and are interested you can still sign up HERE. There are still a few spots open. 

Vali's Curse releases on Friday on Amazon. You can grab it at the pre-order sale price of just 99c. I will probably leave the sale price for a while. Maybe until after A Spirit United releases on October 30th. For a little bit of extra celebration, I've put the Chronicles of the Lynx Clan on sale for 99c this week as well.  

This week I'll be working on the audiobook for Vali's Curse and the revision for A Spirit United. Hopefully it will go smoothly. I'd better get started...


Read more and stay healthy!

down is enough.

Spooky season, a pre-order, and a questionable dinner plan.

Spooky season, a pre-order, and a questionable dinner plan.
October 5, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

Happy October! It's officially my favorite season. I don't mean fall, although I do love the pretty leaves and the sense of urgency to prep for winter. No, what I mean is spooky season! I just love the vibes of the month and enjoy  every minute of it.

That said... The season is starting off a little rough. Hubby is recovering at home and that leaves a lot of extra chores on my plate. Including taking charge of meal prep. I might not have mentioned, but I'm a terrible cook. I've been relying on hubby's kitchen skills for my survival for a very long time. Only time will tell if I can keep us both alive long enough for him to get back on his feet. 

In book news... The Books Books Books event in Lancaster was amazing. So many wonderful readers and a chance to hang out with some writer buddies. If you can join us next year, take the plunge, it makes for a great day.

And Vali's Curse is up for pre-order. I'll be sending out ARC invites in the next few days. If you're wondering what an ARC reader does - it's all about early access to a new release with the intention to give an honest review to help the right readers find the book. If you're interested in giving it a try, watch for the next email. I'll open up space for the first 50 ARC readers.  If it's not for you, don't worry. Just ignore the invite. 

Time to go out and get busy. 

Read more and enjoy the hustle!

Shannon

Blood Royals: side story

Misplaced Fate

Angel and Killian fell in love as teenagers and they grew up
together, believing that nothing could destroy their passionate
devotion. 

But fear of losing her drives Killian to take a dangerous risk. Now they stand on opposite sides of the thin line where good and evil meet, and only one will walk away from this last chance at redemption.









A Chance Collection

Is their love hot enough to last forever?
A Chance Collection includes the ten short stories from the Chances series. It is written in third person, past tense and features an intense love story between three men. It’s emotional, angsty and sexy as hell. Chance might be the fire demon, but Josh and Brandon know how to bring the heat. If you want your boy love stories packed with naughtiness, give Chance a try. He won’t disappoint!
