Within the sultry streets of New Orleans, a world of mystical magic lies hidden in plain sight. Detective Callum LeBlanc’s life takes a turn into the extraordinary when he meets Aeris, a captivating Fae from the mystical realm of Laric. With her unique abilities and ethereal beauty, she’s unlike anyone he’s ever known. But when Callum sees through Aeris’s Glamor, it’s not just her secrets that are unveiled.

Definitely a one click buy FIVE STARS!!!
You can add it to your collection just as easily by clicking here!
After years in the grueling California dating scene, Maggie Kelley has finally agreed to marry her Mr. Right Now. But there’s just one teensy problem…the county clerk lets her know that she’s technically still married to her Vegas fling: the best three days she ever had…and can’t actually remember. The moment she sees her very hot husband after eight years, with his works-well-with-his-hands attitude, she’s sure their wedding night must have been explosive.
The absolute last person Finnegan Garrity expected at his door is Maggie—his ultimate “one who got away.” Yet here she is in his small-town boat shop, looking just as adorable as ever…and wanting a divorce. Yeah, he has no intention of letting that happen. Now he’s got one week to convince Maggie that they’re still perfect for each other.
But he’s going to need more than just a do-over: he’s going to need a miracle.

My sweet boy Severus needs help
Severus is the sweetest cat ever. Pay no attention to his name. I pulled him out of a Walmart dumpster in 2018 and he’s been by my side ever since.
He got me through a deep depression. He never left my side when I had cancer. He had my back with his healing purr box.
On Monday he had emergency surgery to repair a torn urethra. His kidneys were failing so he’s been sedated to give his body time to heal.
I have no idea how I’m going to pay for this but I owe it to him to try. I’ve always been active with helping when I can in the writing community and now I’m reaching out in hopes that those who can help my sweet boy can donate to his fund or even just share this blog post. Everything helps.
A friend started a gofundme for him. Donations can also be made directly to the vet at Bardstown Veterinary Clinic at 502-233-8111.
Thank you all for even just reading this post, passing it along, or giving his link a share on Facebook. It all helps. Thank you!!!!!

This is my last chance – can you help?
The Zon lost 1000+ of my preorders, but I won’t let them take this away from me. I was so close to making the best sellers list when 25% of my preorders poofed on release day. I’ve been working my butt off trying to get those back. If you’ve already preordered, can you check to see if yours went through?
If every single one of my readers can spare .99 cents, I can make my goal! I am behind on Barnes & Noble sales, and am still behind with Amazon.
I only have a few hours left to achieve my goal and I am so close! Be a part of this author’s dream to be a best selling author!
*This is me begging you to throw me a solid here, and help a girl out. I know I can do this if everyone pulls together.*

This author needs your help
I’m sitting here chatting with you having just gone through breast cancer surgery, if that proves my dedication to you, readers.
Rituals & Runes is HERE!
After a very long year of writing, collaborating, and working hard to get the word out, our long awaited anthology has finally released BUT did you know…
As seems to happen more often than not, one of our platforms lost a huge chunk of our preorders (about 1/3)…
This is a giant setback and truly disheartening. Several readers have contacted me personally after seeing my post to let me know they had not received their preorder, which coincides with so many orders not going through. 
If you preordered Rituals & Runes on Zon, please check to make sure you got it. This collection is available for #99pennies for a very limited time (through Saturday). We appreciate every order.
I just wanted to personally thank you for helping us achieve our goal. If you’re feeling extra helpful, go ahead and grab it on another platform to get me that one step closer to best seller!
If you have not yet, grab it here today for under a buck >>>>
Rituals & Runes anthology – 30 PNR & UF books on one set for just $0.99 RIGHT NOW!
THANK YOU for your support! xoxo
