Beyond Romance

November 11, 2024

Hello all my peeps. Feeling a bit more fall the last few days, but I suppose that's fair since summer has left us already. Winter prep at the farm continues. We made some progress on the new pens but took Sunday off to head out to the local farm swap meet. Sold 10 turkey poults. Letting them go was part of the "tighten our belts" for winter plan. Turkey babies eat a lot and letting those ten go to new homes will allow me to spoil the others a bit more.

Here in the US, November 11 is Veteran's Day. A day to focus on the men and women in the military and how much they do to support our freedoms. As a nod to all our veterans and their families... This week it's all about my soldier boys.

The Lynx Clan features three brothers who are forced to fight for the bad guy. If and when they finally get free I wonder if they will decide to put their skills to work for the good guys? I can really see them taking that route.

This time next year I hope I'll be able to share about a different military group. Eagle Clan 4: guardian features the formation of a paramilitary group working to protect the world from paranormal threats. 

Thank you to all the vets out there. Keep up being the heroes in the stories that never get told.


Read more and protect what you love.

Lynx Clan 1: Forgiven

About the series...

Three young werewolves, captured, tortured and brainwashed are forced to become the killing tools for a racist group left over from World War Two. Finally the youngest is given an opportunity to escape that might save their broken clan and lead to freedom for all three. The Lynx clan is only three strong but their story is filled with action, suspense and passion.


Reviews for LC1: Forgiven

"The good guys are shape shifters, vampires, and demons; while the bad guys are Nazi ex-patriots heading up a group of assassins." Thank you Lainey!

"Lynx Clan: Forgiven is an involved, satisfying read which will have readers looking for other stories in this series. " FIVE ANGELS! Thanks Amanda!! Fallen Angel Reviews.


Excerpt from LC1: Forgiven

He finally looked at her, met her gaze. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t.” The reassurance was out before her brain caught it as the lie the words might yet prove to be.

Still, in this one moment, Saxxon was the one to offer rational clarity. “You can’t know that. I didn’t mean to do what just happened. I can’t be sure what will happen when...”

His cut off words sent a shiver of fear down her back. “When what?” What on earth could be worse than all they already had to face? When they came for him? When they both turned into monkeys? When she raped him in a moment of sexual desperation? WHAT?

“When the craving comes.”

“The craving?” she prompted him. Cravings sounded bad, really bad. The way he said it implied something terrible and out of control.

“For the Silvertide. I’ve never gone so long without it before.”

Well, at least it wasn’t cravings for blood or sex. “It’s addictive?” Actually, cravings for sex didn’t sound so awful. She definitely needed to get some sleep before any of her silly thoughts slipped past her lips. This wasn’t a good time to be thinking about sex. Bigger, scarier things took precedence.

“Yes.” He walked to the bed and got out a vial and syringe from the pocket of the jacket. “I want you to use this if you need to.”

“No.” She recognized that huge needle and could guess what was in the vial.

“Do you know how to fill the syringe?”

“Yes, but I won’t use it.” Despite her answer, he set the vial and needle on the bedside table.

“Use it to stay safe. You’ve seen how quickly it works. It’s the only dose I have.”

“I won’t use it. I felt what it did to Dain.” She couldn’t do that to Saxxon.

“Please.” He ran his fingers through his short blond hair in agitation.

“Saxxon...”

He advanced on her. His lean hands caught her shoulders in a gentle grip. “Please say you will.” His expression hardened, but his dark eyes pleaded with her to give in.

“No.” Still she refused while aching to comfort him.

His fingers caressed her cheek. “I am only asking this, so you’ll have some defense if you need to save yourself. It won’t kill me. It paralyzes the body, making it impossible to fight.”

“Saxxon...” She wouldn’t use it, no matter what happened. But she could stretch the truth this once to give him peace of mind. “Thank you for giving me an alternative to stop you if I have to.” Not exactly a lie, anyway.


Question from a reader...

At a recent books signing, Julie asked what I liked best about this series?

I was thinking a little about it and there would be a whole long list of all the little things I love about the Lynx Clan. But the Best of the Best... might be how Caspian and his mate are so very perfect for each other. While I was in the discovery stage of writing this story, I honestly wasn't sure how they could possibly make it work. But those two are quite simply to stubborn to end with anything less than a happy ever after. A close second is how the ladies keep it all together and help their boys heal and stand strong... and have hope.









Book 1:  Forgiven

Her love could save him, if it doesn’t cost them both everything.




Book 2: Forgotten

Because you can only run so long before it's time to fight back.




Book 3: Forever

He will burn everything to the ground, if she lets him.








Demons Gone Wild

Surviving Synn

Forever Eden

She crashed into his temple like an angel with broken wings…

Life on the planet Raxis was a calm haven, filled with peace and balance, until one day the fiery crash of an alien space ship destroyed Adam’s temple and threatened all that he held dear. Little did he know, the galactic wars had finally come to their territory.
