Beyond Romance

March 24, 2025

Hello all my peeps and pups.

The saying "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb" has been crossing my mind lately. I'm not sure what the weather may be like where you are, but here it's been a bit like a roller coaster. Maybe the lion and lamb both went drinking together and this is them, staggering their way home. No matter. Either tornado high winds, 75 degrees and gorgeous, or a smidge more snow, whatever comes, comes.

Funny thing about the weather. At least it makes my hubby laugh at me. Since my books take place in an altered reality, I actually check weather history and try to reflect it accurately in my books about werewolves and demons. Go ahead and chuckle.

On the writer side of things, this week I invested a bit in a marketing course. Learned some good nuggets and churned out some things to use so it was probably a good value. But the part I did flinch a bit about was the time I had to commit to it. I've got a few personal deadlines that are pushing me into crunch time. And those two days will be tough to catch up on. Wish me luck.

I did have an idea a few weeks back about trying to make my weekly news a little more connected. With that in mine, I'm going to start sharing a portion of them on Facebook. And I will continue to try and load them to the blog when I get a chance to.

Until next time...

Read more and play outside when you can!

I love saying that all my stories take place in the same universe, but that still includes a lot of variety, Most of my work takes place between 1970 and present. But ACACIA is 1000 years in the future, Blood Royals happens in the 1600's and the Origin stories come from a mythic age. Since many of my characters are immortal or close, there is still a chance they could slip from one series to another.

Acacia for sci-fi erotic paranormal romance.

Blood Royals for dark emotional paranormal romance.

Chance for naughty erotic m/m, and m/m/m paranormal romance.

Featured this Week

ACACIA: the Collection

If you enjoyed the shares about the three ACACIA novella, why not grab yourself a copy of collection and read all three!

A thousand years in the future, man in all his forms has spread
out across the universe. Some races have chosen to live apart and others have attempted to live together, building diversity colonies. One of those is the Planet Rahla and its moon Acacia. But not long after the colony began, it erupted with violence and fell into a civil war between humans, vampires and werewolves. The massive bloodshed was ended with the Acacia Treaty which divided the two surviving races. Humans held Rahla and the vampires were exiled to the domed moon colony of Acacia. The treaty is resented by extremists on both sides and war may return at any moment.

Despite the threat of war, love and lust brings the people together and creates bonds that may be able to overcome the approaching danger.
