Orc Art Inside + Freebie
Aug 15, 2025 6:02 pm
Hello, my Wylde-lings!
Missed me? I hope so, because I keep getting distracted by work, and then I'm like, "Wait, I haven't sent a newsletter in ages and my readers will forget I exist!"
Have you? Forgotten? That I exist?
The drama!
No, but for real, when has being an author turned into a dozen full-time jobs? Oh, maybe when I decided to get back on TikTok. As if it does anything for my books, seeing how it's regionally targeted, and I live in Norway, and my TikToks don't even reach the US.
I know I sound upbeat, but I'm actually having a really sucky week. I got a nasty allergy around my eyes from a cream that was perfectly fine for two years now, and all of a sudden... BOOM! Red, itchy, swollen eyes. This is day three, and it's starting to drive me crazy.
Because I can't focus on writing, I decided to sit my butt down and give you an update.
Okay, SO:
All my Orc Mates books have been updated. All of them! That's right. Nine books plus one prequel - they all have brand new covers designed by my husband, and incredible art inside, also designed by my husband. I won't lie to you, this has been a massive undertaking. Hubby started working on these in February, and he just finished them last month. And then it took multiple sacrifices of blood and tears to format all ebooks and paperbacks with all the fancy art and make sure everything looks as it should. We both might need therapy after this.
Starting today, I will send you regular newsletters to show you the amazing art, because I promise you, it's so amazing that you NEED to see it, and I haven't yet found a solution for hosting it somewhere. Each email will also contain a freebie or something cool, so hopefully, you won't hate me too much for suddenly landing in your Inbox every week after going MIA for six months or whatever.
These being said, before I show you the new Kelraz and Vorgak (with their ladies, too!), check out this FREE read written by my friend, Eva Brandt.
A golden apple. A single fruit, stolen from Gaia’s treasured garden. In Arcadia, among the Titans of the floating city of Aether, it’s a crime punishable by death.
Prince Hyperion, son of King Kronos, burns everything he touches. When he hunts down the thief, he expects blood and execution. Instead, as the scythe falls and the embers fade, he uncovers a buried secret, the location of his dead mother’s birthplace.
There, hidden in the mountains, lives Thea. A silver-haired girl who tends secret memorials to forgotten queens, she whispers prayers to a name the world has tried to erase.
She doesn’t know a fire prince now hunts for her village. She thinks honoring the dead is the boldest thing she’s ever done. She’s wrong.
Because when Hyperion learns what was stolen from him, he won’t stop at uncovering the past. He’ll claim it. And she will become the titan’s prey.
