Free orc novella!

Hello, my Wylde-lings! How are you doing? Enjoying your summer vacation? I hope so!
I visited my parents last weekend. It wasn't planned, but I had to go to my hometown to solve some really, really old fiscal issues generated by my former accountant. And I found out that she'd made even more mistakes than I'd suspected. It was a mess, and I am truly lucky that the accountant I work with now is a wonderful lady and a real problem solver. So, for the first time in years, I can breathe easy knowing that everything is in order tax-wise.
I also visited my grandparents, and I decided I should try to visit them more often. For the past few years, I only went to see my family once a year. My grandparents raised me, and now they're in their eighties. I should really make an effort and go see them twice or three times a year. They're still young, though! I told them they have twenty more years to live!
Meanwhile, I've been trying to keep up with work. It's no secret that I'm behind, and unfortunately, I'm also burned out.
I will push through this month, and the first half of August, but then... I don't know. I might need to take a break. I will keep you posted, and I promise I'll try to manage my current book projects as best as I can.
So... book news!
The orc novella that was previously published in a monster anthology (that is no longer live) is up on Amazon, and it's FREE! It's free everywhere, really!
Kelraz the Vicious can be read as a prequel to my Orc Mates series. As in, the action takes place before the novels you've already read (hopefully, haha). So, right after the end of the war between humans and orcs, when the institutes for orc tributes weren't that popular.
When the orcs invaded the human dimension, no one could stop them. War raged for years, and now the monstrous beasts have agreed to peace on two conditions: one, the human scientists must rebuild the machine that brought them to this world; and two, they must be provided with fertile brides to bear them orc babies.
Silvie has always believed in the saying, “be the change you want to see in the world”. That’s why she volunteers to become a tribute and goes to one of the first institutes for orc brides to open in North America. Then the institute is attacked, and an orc horde saves the young women from a terrible fate. The orc captain must be rewarded, and Silvie ends up being his prize. She’s always known she would be mated to an orc. She just thought she’d have more time…
Kelraz the Vicious is a monster on the battlefield. He spills his enemies’ blood without remorse, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a code of honor. There’s one thing he won’t stand for – innocent females and children being hurt. On his way to the mountains, he hears the screams of the human females, and swoops in to save them. As a reward, he can pick one of them. He picks Silvie, the curvy, green-eyed beauty who doesn’t flinch at the sight of blood.

I hope you enjoy the free novella!
I've also managed to set up the pre-order for my next book in the Monster Hearts series. It will come out in August, in just four weeks from now.
The hero is a minotaur, so... I hope you're into that. lol

Being a technician on the Belua Space Station is a dream job! I get to be a part of something extraordinary, and also top secret. But when I find out that building spaceships isn’t the only purpose of the ring station, things change.
When the Director makes contact with an alien ship and his men capture it, we get our hands on the aliens’ most prized possession – a star portal. Now I’m tasked with pulling it apart and figuring out how it works. But I can’t do it alone. I need answers from the ship’s Captain.
Travak Khator. He looks like a minotaur from the Greek myths, but of course, he doesn’t identify as one. He and his crew have been imprisoned, tortured, and experimented on. The moment I meet him, I know… The star portal doesn’t matter. What we’re doing on the station doesn’t matter. All that matters is to help this hot-as-sin alien escape, and hope he takes me with him.

This year, I've joined a few anthologies. I don't know if I regret it or not. lol I mean, now I have to write the stories for them.
No, I'm kidding. I don't regret a thing! I was feeling isolated, and I really wanted to collaborate with other authors and feel like I'm a part of something.
So, here they are! They are each only $0.99, and they're available on all online book stores. It would help us tremendously if you pre-ordered a copy (or two, or three), especially from Barnes & Noble and Apple Books. We're aiming for the USA Today bestsellers list, and it's really hard to get the numbers on Barnes & Noble and Apple Books.
Anyway, check them out!
