New Release: Origins: Vali's Curse

 












Beyond Romance: New Release!

October 16,  2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

It's release day for a new Origins story: Vali's Curse! Now available in ebook and paperback and coming soon in audio book. For now, I kept the price for the ebook at just $0.99. 

If you'd like to celebrate with me, stop by my FB Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/beyondromance for an hour long Q&A.  Tonight, I'll be on there from 8-9 PM EST. 

CONTEST
Everyone who joins the Beyond Romance Facebook group and takes a moment to comment will be entered for a signed copy of the print book. (or free ebook of choice for anyone not in the continental US). That one hour window might be tough to schedule so the contest will run a bit longer. Be sure to visit and comment before Sunday at 9 PM. I will announce the winner on the group and in the next newsletter. 

Read more and don't forget to celebrate!

VALI'S CURSE

Was it a chance meeting or just another plot of the gods?

Vali was a cursed man, forced to surrender his body to the spirit of a wolf for all but 3 nights a month. How could he let himself fall in love when he knew just how impossible it was.

Meeting Vali let Deltinica dream of a beautiful new future. Was she strong enough to break his curse? Or is there another option?





A SPIRIT UNITED

Was it a chance meeting or just another plot of the gods?

Vulf's quest was to break the wolf curse. But he considered his wolf spirit a partner that could use its strength to protect him and their family. Was it right to sacrifice that power?

Morna fought back her fears to join his quest. But being by his side made her question everything she'd been taught. 

What kind of future could they have if the succeed? Or worse, if they fail?









Their reunion is inevitable — like the tides, the sunset
and maybe like a miracle.

As Christmas morning approaches, Logan finds himself unraveling. Memories surfacing, truths stirring, and a connection that feels older than this life. When the past finally catches him, he’ll be forced to face who he truly is... And why loving Sherry has always come with a terrible cost.

My Immortal is a wistful, magical paranormal romance about inevitable love, forgotten lives, and the quiet miracle of finding each other again, and again.




Thank you for reading. Hope you have a great week!

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!

FARM UPDATE

This week I'll be mowing down the big field. I wish we were able to make hay or do something more useful with it, but for now mowing the weeds 
down is enough.
