THE END IS COMING...

Image
Yes, it took FOREVER. But The End is finally coming. Just in time for Xmas! I'm going to keep this short because there's so much to do to make sure this release goes well, but I want to start with how sorry I am that it's taken this long. Honestly, I'd started to lose hope myself. Everything seemed stacked against this book ever being done. Deadly Captive was one of those nightmare books, haunting me day and night until I got the words on the page. And even then, there's something about the book that messes with me. But when it was published and got such intense reactions, I felt like there were others out there that needed to slip into the darkness as much as I did.  Collateral Damage came out awhile after. These weren't stories I could dive into whenever I wanted to. They were like...like welcoming the nightmare. Facing the demons in your mind, knowing the journey will be worth it, but needing to overcome your fears before you can take that first...

Can love conquer all? Release day and what this book means to me...

There's something one of the heroes, Balthazar, says in his narrative in Inversion that really speaks to me. Some of you might be thinking "Umm, YOU wrote that." Yeah...kinda. Not with my brain, with his. Which probably doesn't make any sense unless you get how real the characters are to me. Either way, it's this: Love didn’t conquer all, not on its own. Like any conqueror, love needed soldiers, ready to fight. Those soldiers were compassion, respect, trust, and devotion. With faith taking up the rearguard when the others faltered.  And maybe that’s all he was missing. The one thing no one else could give him. The one thing he had to find for himself. Faith. Which he would find once he’d figured out how to improve the odds. As nice as it was to believe things would work out for the best, he wasn’t one to sit back and let the cards fall where they may. He always made sure his soldiers were prepared for battle. Inversion has a chara...

You're gonna love me! Or hate me... Probably hate me, but in the best way!

DAMN! It's been the FOREVER since I got a book out, hasn't it? So naturally I just pumped out another book in my most popular series to make my life easy and soak up all the loving from the fans! Yeah, y'all know me better than that. Since I know it will be asked, YES, there will be another Cobra book soon. Soon being book world soon, not normal world soon. Which means I'll have it to you when the muse allows it. Thankfully, he's been pretty chatty, so it's looking good. For now, he's given us something else. Something I'm glad I trusted him with because... OMG, this book. This fucking book! Inversion (Winter's Wrath Book 3) was meant to be a lighter book. Sexy funtime with our favourite band as we get to know them a little better.  But my muse laughed at me when I told him that's what I expected. What I got was a few rounds of heartbreak, a lot of crying, and new characters that feel like family. I can't really express how much eve...

ALL THINGS CANADA! And an INSANE COBRA SALE!

Image
That day is coming! You know what day I mean, right? Did you say Canada Day? That too, but that's not what I'm talking about! lol Still, gotta give some love to my country. And give some of you the only thing you're looking for when Canada is mentioned. Anyway, the day I mean is KALLYPSOCON!  This year, for the first time, I will be a featured author at her event in Ontario and I couldn't be more excited! I've been to a lot of events, but this one is unique. Sure, events in Canada are always fun, and I plan to do more, but I've never experienced this kind of enthusiasm before. Not only was the event sold out in minutes, but there was so much interest Kallypso added a special meet & greet for readers who couldn't get tickets! If you're interested, I'll post on Facebook later today and over the coming weeks about the time and place for the Q&A. You can hook up with me HERE if you haven't already. I accept all friend ...

How to do the WORD THING while the HOUSE IS ON FIRE?

Image
The 'word thing' being writing books. The house being the world. The fire being...well, not usually an actual fire, but sometimes it is. Also, there's a reason for the question mark at the end. I'm not sure I have the answer. That is all. You may go. You still here? lol You know me well! Can I be real a second, for just a millisecond? I'll be weird and funny in a bit, but I have to say, I'm worried about some of my favorite authors. The ones who have the experience to handle the industry, but haven't let themselves go cold and hard. The ones that feel too much. Those feelings, that empathy, makes them incredible story tellers. When they pull you between the pages of a book you forget all you're looking at is little black markings. The words disappear and you're taken away to a new reality. For a reader that is the best feeling in the world. That escape is precious. But the ability to bring emotions to the page, ...

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! Book recs galor and me being artsy!

Image
All right, Montreal may not have their Pride Parade until August, but I take that as an opportunity to extend the celebrations! I'm also inspired, so I made a few cool new designs and I'll have more coming soon. Before we get to that, I wanna give a shout out to two books I grabbed recently that I absolutely LOVE! First up is one I just finished. If you're into enemies to lovers, you MUST read this one. All the books in the series have been awesome, but this is my favorite. Blurb: My life plan is to be brutally honest all the way to the bank. Don't believe me? I run a popular YouTube channel called TrashyZane, and my claim to fame is oversharing about every aspect of my personal life. Sometimes while tipsy. Not everyone loves my style, but I have a long history of icing out people who can't handle me. I have no time for judgmental foolishness. Except, apparently, when it comes to Beau Starr. His channel is the polar opposite of mine, and so is ...
