Heart of a Centaur is here!

I did promise I would have a new release this month. I'm proud I managed to publish this book on time, since lately I feel like I've been failing.

I've delayed pre-orders, and soon, I'll have to admit defeat and cancel Viridescent. I hate it, and I feel so guilty. In my entire eight years of career as a self-published author, I have never canceled a pre-order. Until this year, I'd never delayed a pre-order, and here I am, doing it every month now...

I don't care what anyone says, 2022 has been a hard year. I've had some pretty bad years before, but this one... this year... it should get a damn trophy for how bad it is.

I'm afraid to cancel Viridescent. I have to, because it's not ready, and no matter how much I've tried to fool myself that it's all fine and I'll be able to write this month, it's not happening. I'm at my parents', and I went to see a doctor today. He looked at my MRI, and fortunately, he said I don't need surgery. I did manage to tear my meniscus, but it's a small tear that can heal on its own with physiotherapy. Now I have to make an appointment and pray that when I take my knee brace off and try to flex my leg, nothing will pop painfully again. The brace is killing me, the fact that I can't walk properly is killing me... And I've just realized how much of an active person I am.

I feel so frustrated about this whole thing that I can't do anything. I can barely read or sit still to watch Netflix. Work wise, I've only managed to do some takeovers in a few Facebook groups, what with the release of Rituals & Runes, and with celebrating ORCtober this month... I should be getting ready for NaNo, but that's not happening either.

Anyway. In short, the current verdict is that I don't need surgery. I'll see how recovery goes, and God willing, the verdict will remain the same. Forever.

Thank you so much for putting up with me these past few weeks. And thank you for all your emails! It meant a lot that you wrote to me, wishing me well and telling me your stories. I felt less alone, and less sad. I felt seen. Thank you so, so much. I love you, and I will keep writing books for you, even if I'll have to take a bit of a break.

So, this month... Heart of a Centaur. It is here, it is live on Amazon, and free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

And next month... Alien's Redemption. Just a novella, but I'm afraid that's the best I can do right now.

And after that... I don't know. I just don't know. I will keep you updated, and you can be sure that the moment I get a clear vision of what's next, you will hear from me.

Thank you again, and... I'm leaving you with your new centaur boyfriend, and a couple of other recommendations.

Happy reading!

Heart of a Centaur (Monster Hearts)

Read it now!

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

I thought I was doing the right thing. Hunting down alien monsters for IMRA, stopping them from hurting people. I’m a hunter, and my job is done once they’re captured and caged.

But then the tables turn, and I end up the prisoner of a centaur. He calls himself Athos and says he’s a scholar from planet Yacheron. He’s been living on Earth for years, isolated in the mountains, never hurting anyone. I don’t know if I should believe him. He tells me I’m his guest, not his prisoner, and as time passes and we’re forced to live in his hut until I heal, he reveals to me that I’m his… mate.

How can it be possible? This attraction I feel… All-consuming, almost obsessive… It’s madness. Because I’m human, and he’s only half man. We weren’t made to fit together.

Alien's Redemption

Coming in November, for sure!

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

Caroline

I was going home when I was abducted by aliens. Then the ship crashed, and I found myself lost and alone on an alien planet. I’ve been running for two days. It seems that aliens of all shapes and sizes are after me simply because I’m... human. And a woman. They say human females are universal breeders, and that we’re extremely valuable. I won’t let them catch me. I won’t let them sell me.

When I think I’ve finally found shelter, I fall into the worst trap. Then a brute of a man with sharp tusks and skin like ice shows up and saves me. His name is Ko’nar Eisvir, and he’s not who I think he is. He’s not my rescuer. He’s my new captor.

Ko’nar

If I bring my king one of the universal breeders that have just crashed all over the outlaw planet known as Reazus Prime, I might be allowed to return home. It’s been three years since I’ve been banished, and I want to see my parents and my little sister. But I first have to prove to the king that I’m still useful to him. Maybe he’ll forgive me when he sees the human female Caroline, who can give him what the old queen cannot anymore – children.

But Caroline is tempting. Curvy, feisty, and oh-so-delicious... I feel the urge to have a taste, and then keep her all to myself. I thought the reason I haven’t found my mate was because I couldn’t find her away from home. Now I look into her sparkling green eyes, and I find myself questioning that theory.

A Monster's Treasure

CLARA

Unfairly convicted of a crime, I’m sent to serve the Kadrixan males for their rutting season.

The Kadrixans. Even their name inspires terror. Fiery-skinned and devil-like, they stand head and shoulders taller than any human man. Our colony made a terrible bargain with these monsters. The Kadrixans give us precious ore in exchange for the one thing they need.

Women. Like me.

When we meet our Kadrixan captors, I come face to face with a massive, brawny beast who claims I belong to him.

And not just for the rutting season. He wants me forever.

KRXARE

I never expected to claim a human mate, but one look at the curvy female and I know she’s mine.

Hunger claws at my mind and that of every other warrior in my regiment. All of us are on the brink of the rut which makes us more belligerent with each passing day. Without females, we’ll tear each other apart with rage.

We depend upon our bargain. Human females for Kadrixan ore.

The females arrive and there is one who stirs my primitive desire: Clara. She thinks I’m a monster; I see it in her eyes and scent it in her fear. She vows to return to her people after the rut is over, but I vow to claim my mate, to woo her and prove she’s mine.

Captured by the Centaur

She just wanted out of her cage, even if it meant being captured by the dangerous Centaur lurking in the shadows. Tricked into servitude, Erica only dreams of two things. Escaping the one eyed ogre who keeps her prisoner and finding love. Safely locked in her master's traveling slave wagon, Erica knows her chances of freedom are slim, especially after a terrible accident that takes half her leg and leaves her crippled. Even if she could even break the lock trapping her in, there's no possible way she could ever make it far enough to ensure her freedom, or could she?

Hetak only planned to take back the stolen goods belonging to his tribe, but when he spots a wayward female limping to freedom, he chases after her, capturing her instead. His kind has never taken a human before, but the feisty female in his arms soon melts and the heated passion in her eyes dares him to take her. The only question is, will he?
