In the first version of #UnderTheWolfMoon, I gave a character some growth. When I rewrote it, I took that growth away...because she is an amalgamation of the most horrible girls I ever knew in school, and I don't think it's realistic that she would become a better person.

I'm excited to announce the first two books in THE OUTCROSSED SERIES—INTO THE FORGOTTEN FOREST and UNDER THE WOLF MOON—will be FREE for the first time ever as part of a special sale on @Smashwords to celebrate 2025 Read an Ebook Week from March 2 - March 8. Be sure to follow me for more updates and links to the promotion for my books and many more!

A promo image for Smashwords' Read an Ebook Week Sale.

The image shows a cartoon person laying on their stomach, reading an ebook. There are little hearts floating in between their smiling face and the screen.

The image also advertises the link for the sale, which isn't active yet. I'll post a clickable link when it is. And it says that my books are one hundred percent off.

"'Breathe!' someone said beside her. Their voice was distorted like it was full of bubbles. Warbly. But who else was down there with her and the kelpie? She’d been the only one at the Spot that day.

Then, another familiar voice sang out, 'Athayl cahveh gah olai!'”

In a previous version of #UnderTheWolfMoon, Ash and Oli sort of become...friends? I have no idea why I tried to do that, so I rewrote that bit. Their hatred for each other is still going strong in book three, and that's the way it should be. 😂

Thinking about doing a thing. Would anyone want one if I took pre-orders?

A t-shirt design with a drawing I did of Mab where the Shadow has already started taking over. Horns are growing from her head, and the inky-black Shadow-sickness spreads across her face and neck. There is faded writing that lists the various names she has gone by until, at the bottom, in bright white, reads, "The Shadow."

The Outcrossed Prophecy from the beginning of Under the Wolf Moon. It reads: When Wolf Moon crests the winter sky,
The Outcrossed tale unfolds.
As the crystal snowflakes fall,
Inside and out; they grow.
And somewhere in the distance,
They’ll hear the feral call.
The pain of all existence,
Is seeded through it all.
The Knight of Twelve, the ringing bells,
The destined sword and spear;
The stone and cauldron, dragon’s fire,
And death to one held dear.
If both remaining Three of Three,
Choose the path of fear;
On the horizon, Shadow will fall,
With no one left to hear.

A drawing of a being who has been known as Blodeuwedd, Mab, the Unseelie Queen, the Shadow Queen, and now the Shadow. She has wildly curly hair, once a moonlit white, now stained with darkness. The Shadow sickness that infects her has also spread to her skin, and a pair of horns have begun to grow from her forehead. No matter where you move, she's looking out from the image at you.

#UnderTheWolfMoon is now finally available in paperback! If you already own a digital copy, it should have updated around midnight with the new content and changes.

I'll be part of the #FediBookFair this weekend, so keep an eye out for my posts about it!

#IntoTheForgottenForest, is on sale in eBook form for $1.99 until 11/4, as well! Snag a copy cheap while you can. 🎉

It's really bugging me that there are potentially still typos lurking in #UnderTheWolfMoon that I can't find.

If y'all find one after the paperback release/rerelease, will you please let me know?? 😭

Me holding a paperback copy of my book Under the Wolf Moon.

Just three weeks and a day until Halloween and the paperback release of UNDER THE WOLF MOON!! 🥳

I'm really excited for it, and I hope other people are, too.

Sometimes I make music based on my books and characters, so this is a song that's actually an Arcane (magic) spell from Chapter 21 - The Morrigan.

Enjoy! 🧙

After Oli goes through a portal into the Forgotten Forest, her brother is left behind to answer to the Steward of the Limmikin Throne. And as she makes her way through the strange new world and beyond, she discovers new truths about her family—including the existence of a long lost sibling. Once reunited in their own realm, the Locklears make a pact to find out what their parents have been hiding from them.

Meanwhile, other players are moving across the board. Evienne and Merys worry what it means that they can't divine any possible futures in their realm. Beth, an Ageless vigilante is in town seeking answers. An Unseelie spy has infiltrated the Pack. Then there's the return of an old friend—or enemy, depending on your point of view. In secret, Veda practices with her powers with varying results, and Harper begins to see things she shouldn't.

With new allies and foes on both sides, it's a race to find the Four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann. If Oli and the Pack can get their hands on all of them, they may just have a chance at stopping the walls between realities from breaking down. And as the Outcrossed untangle their own pasts, the Shadow Queen is readying her forces for an invasion, enlisting the help of a very old enemy who has no other choice but to take up her quest. But when the wolf moon rises over Birch Hollow, they'll all find out who is truly in control of the fate of the multiverse.

Checking again if anyone is interested in a signed copy of UNDER THE WOLF MOON!

I'll be placing a bulk order next week, and they might even arrive before the release date on Halloween. I have some copies of INTO THE FORGOTTEN FOREST on hand, as well, if you'd like one of each.

Willing to ship anywhere in the world, as long as you cover shipping costs. 🖤
