😍 Greetings, ARC team! 😍

Yep, I'm a little late getting you guys your links to the second book in my His Name Was Augustin series. Have to admit the business stuff has been muddling my brain of late. 🤯 But since I've got a new paranormal romance series in the works, it's time we finish perusing all the books in Swanie's saga!

I'd like to offer a special thanks to Tony, who kindly reviewed Arcane Gateway on Amazon & Goodreads. If anyone else finds the time to leave a few words for my debut novel, I'd greatly appreciate it! You are freaking awesome! 💖

Now We're Really Moving Backwards

If you've finished reading Arcane Gateway, you know that Swanie, Beth, and Joel have leaped into the 11th century to find out exactly why the Teuton kingdom of Bavaria fell to the Saxons in 1066. You might also have noticed that things went awry from the instant they stepped into the past.

Now it's time to move on to Mystic Passage.

If you happened to read Prince Otto's newsletter from last month, you've gotten a [rather skewed] view of what's to come in that book. The Prince has a proverbial bean up his nose regarding his oldest brother—and he's horrified that the "Lady Swanhilde" has taken an interest in him. 😉

Mystic Passage should enchant the romance lovers among you. It's chock full of magical secrets, budding friendship, and sultry love.

That being said, there is a scene of rape & human sacrifice in this book. If that sort of thing would be triggering for you, no judgment if you decide not to read. That scene takes place in Chapter 13, titled "A Blood Sacrifice."

Mystic Passage Blurb

Can’t say I expected this. All I wanted was to take a quick trip to medieval Europe to witness the fall of the Teutons, but a band of warriors attacked me and my travel buddies minutes after we got here. One of them murdered my cousin, and now her boyfriend Joel is heartbroken. And if that wasn’t bad enough, we’ve lost the power to open time’s gateway. That means we’re trapped here, a thousand years in the past.

Now Joel and I have to assimilate with people who sneer at outsiders. They’re suspicious of me, too. Well, most of them are. The city archivist, Augustin von Bayern, has offered to teach me the darker side of magic. Of course he’s the handsomest man in town—and his intelligence tantalizes me in ways I’ve never known. I guess if I’m stuck in the past, I might as well go all in, right?

But it just so happens that Augustin worships a demon in his spare time . . . .

Mystic Passage Needs YOUR Help

As is standard for pretty much every book series, Mystic Passage has garnered far fewer reviews & ratings than its predecessor. It's currently sitting at 12 ratings on Amazon, and thanks to our friendly neighborhood trolls, its rating is below 4 stars. 😢 The trolls also hit Mystic Passage on BookBub, so it'd be nice to get a couple positive reviews to balance the rating out there, too!

[I'm pretty sure the troll rating is why BookBub hasn't accepted Mystic Passage for a Featured Deal yet. Argle Bargle.]

I'm counting on YOU to give Swanie & Augustin a much needed boost. If you read Numinous Fortune, you know they're our OTP (one true pairing), and this is the book where their decades-long relationship begins.

Let's help the icy witch and her fiery priest gain the recognition they deserve!
