Happy September, peeps and pups 🍂

 

Beyond Romance Happy September, peeps and pups 🍂 September 7, 2026 Hello all my peeps and pups. Happy September! I've been watching the nearby hills for all the fall foliage to spread. I do love all the bright colors, like the land is feeling a cozy flush of excitement.  Of course it always makes me a little bit sad too since it means we're that much closer to the end of another year. I do feel like I've been fighting the calendar this year too much. Seems like all my goals just came harder and had far too many set backs. But "Momma Said (There'd Be Days Like This)" song by The Shirelles. It's okay to have times when things are hard. I firmly believe those happen to help us notice when times are kinder and to be grateful for those moments. Enough about that. Seems Autumn is making me too introspective. A few days ago, I released the novella, Lost Soul of the Wolf. Thank you everyone for the many purchases and kindle reads on it. This story isn't my usual but is connected to my Eagle Clan series. Hope you enjoy it as the little side story it was always meant to be. The next project I'm digging through now is a hardcover edition of Bound by Amethyst. I had so much fun designing and pairing the interior images with the story  and I think it turned out pretty well. Unlike the paperback version this hardcover will be in the bigger 6x9 size and will have pretty styled edges as well. As soon as that one goes live and I can order some copies in for upcoming events, I'll be turning my attention to a couple of other novellas that have been patiently waiting their turn. Already written, I'll be expanding and editing those titles before I release them. Stay tuned for more details. (last minute update: the Bound by Amethyst hardcover is now available!) And for all my state-side Peeps, Happy Labor Day! Read more and be proud of your hard work! ~ Shannon UPCOMING EVENTS 9/4: New release: Lost Soul of the Wolf. 9/26: BooksBooksBooks Lancaster, PA 10/24: Spooky Adult Book Fair at Vellum Fermentation 10/31: West Kittanning Craft Fair 11/1: Penn Run Craft Fair 11/7: Elderton Craft Fair TBA: "Squirrel...!"
