Baby's first trade review! I'm so happy with this review for A Dagger of Lightning with Publishers Weekly that I'm tossing it into the bluesky void.

I was supposed to meet Julian for coffee this morning. We had to reschedule to next week due to the storm. The last time we met for coffee, it was warm, we sat outside, and I gave him a copy of Dagger. If you like YA SciFi that makes you think, check out Julian's Memory Index duology.

⚡COVER REVEAL⚡ Let's get one thing straight: I am not your chosen one. A DAGGER OF LIGHTNING is a fantasy romance with a spaceship on top, with fated mates, forbidden love, plenty of swashbuckling, and a bantery middle-aged protagonist. Cover design by Maryann Appel

Thanks @yumewrites for checking out Dagger and giving it some love! I love the comparison to a glass of sparkling rose. 🗡️⚡🥂 If you like high stakes adventures in space and engaging characters, check out Yume's books! #ADaggerOfLightning #fantasyromancebooks #scififantasy #MiddleAgedChosenOne

2024 was a rough year. Struggled in writing, got laid off, publisher was sold months before my next book release, cat medical issues, husband medical debt, etc. On the Solstice an idea struck & I have written over 40,000 words. So I'm taking that as a sign. Things are turning around. Happy New Year!

Thanks to @matthewhubbard for tossing an awesome blurb my way! Dagger is available for preorder via the link in my bio. If you enjoy glitter, gays, & vengence, you NEED to read Matthew's book The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge. There's even a friendship romance tucked inside.

Popping in to say hello and a big thanks to Alisha for some early love for A Dagger of Lightning! April 1st can't come fast enough! (If you haven't checked out Alisha's books, only do it if you like dragons, romance, fun, and magic in your life.) Check out the link in my bio for more info. 🗡️⚡

It's been awhile since I've Bluesky'd... and somehow Ghost Tamer managed to win not just one, but two awards since I've last posted! An IBPA Benjamin Franklin gold award for Best SciFi Fantasy, and an IPPY gold for Best First Book. To say that I'm thrilled would be an understatement!

My husband, Dean @forte801.bsky.social, volunteers at Nashville Humane Association where we got Aang and Cloud. His last shift was reading to the kittens so I sent a book along with him. There is a cat in Ghost Tamer after all! Fun fact: I used Cloud’s shelter name when I named Blitz in Ghost Tamer.
