🌟 Claimed by the Undead Is Out Now! 🪨
Elemental light unites with stone today as Helena's romantic adventure with the Black Priest Konstantin hits the retailers! I don't know about you, but I'm super excited to finally give you a peek into the most complex and magical saga I've crafted in...how long has it been...three years. 👀
If you've been following my weirdo author life since 2022, you're probably used to reading my standalone paranormal/fantasy romances like what you find in the Elemental Bloodlines series or the Elemental Gifts series. What you might not realize is that deep down, I yearn to compile LENGTHY sagas that follow the same characters as they discover their destinies together.
That's exactly what Helena and Konstantin are doing in Claimed by the Undead. With Book 1 out in the wild, I'll confess their adventures might very well last for around 9 books total. 😲 And if you've started thinking maybe it's not all that big of a deal to fall in love with a Black Priest—considering we've met at least one such pair in Elemental Bloodlines—well...heh...why not try telling Helena that after you've finished reading the first part of her saga? 🙃

As always, you can read Claimed by the Undead with a Kobo Plus subscription, or find it on a variety of library apps. It's already available to order from Libby through your local library, but Hoopla (as always) is waiting for the cyber gremlins to approve it. 🤖
If you pre-ordered Claimed by the Undead, check your e-reader to make sure your payment went through. Sometimes cards get declined on pre-orders once the book actually comes out, so if that happened to you, you might have to order again. Luckily, Claimed by the Undead is just 99¢ for a little longer!
If you pre-ordered Claimed by the Undead from my shop, be sure to check whichever email you entered on the check-out page for a BookFunnel delivery of your eBook. I know some of us use separate emails to buy things than to download eBooks, so now you know where to hunt for your next read!
This Month's Book Fairs
Here's the batch of book fairs I'm part of throughout the month of May. You can find a variety of Teuton stories within, some free and some paid. Along with loads of other opportunities to escape from our messed up world. Don't forget to browse all the options before the end of the month!
That's about it from my neck of the woods. Still hunting feral kittens and mama kitty over here, which is obviously going to be a long process. They've found the dry food I've left out for them, so now I just have to convince them I'm not the wicked witch of the west.
I'm just a boring old indie author who wishes she was a Teuton witch. 🤣
Have a wonderfully weird week, and happy reading!
Talk to you soon,
