Exciting news about my assassin series!
Jun 15, 2023 5:47 am
Hello !
Well, now that summer has started, at least on this side of the planet, I hope everyone is enjoying it. I am with kids out of school. But just because it's summer doesn't mean I stop working, like most of us. And that's okay with me. I love what I do!
We are saying goodbye to Ohana Surfing Club, at least for me. I'm still up in the air about Keo (from Impact Zone) and giving him his redemption arc. Maybe a novella next year. Maybe not lol.
I've already introduced you to His Death Bringer, the first book in my assassin series, but I have a little taste of it, which you can read right here! I added a cool graphic to go with it. I love creating graphics, and I may or may not be addicted to grunge and texture lol.
Also, at the end of this email, if you keep reading, I posted some of those short stories from my books down below to download and read. They aren't long, but if you've subscribed to my newsletter already, those stories at the backs of my books require subscribing, so I have listed them below if you didn't get a chance to download them and read them.
I'm going to try and do these more. In fact, I just finished a short story for His Death Bringer.
🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

His Death Bringer - The District Book 1
Coming July 31, 2023
He calls me his dark angel, but I’m merely a killer. A bringer of death.
Luca Davenport
He is my angel, sent to be my death bringer to save me from my tormentors and betrayers—those who sold me into slavery when I was only eight years old. Angel came in with guns blazing and black wings that were made to crush his enemies and envelope me in love. He belongs to me and I belong to him. We are destined. After he saves me from my captors, we hunt down the remaining men who had abused me for eleven years to make them pay in blood.
Dante Varga
He is a broken boy of no more than nineteen. He sees me as an angel, but I’m simply a killer. An assassin for hire. I can’t save him. I can’t take care of him. There’s no room left in my dying soul to care about someone. Not anymore. But I can’t turn him away either. I should kill him. He’s a witness. But I feel compelled to protect him at all costs. Saving him will either shatter the ice around my heart or destroy me. Either way, Luca is dangerous.
Tropes:
Assassins
Alpha Hero
Anti Hero
Suspense
Emotional Scars
Broken Boys
Hurt/Comfort
Age Gap

This is from His Death Bringer, the beginning of Chapter 4.
Warning: Dante swears a lot 😁
Dante:
I stared at the ceiling fan swirling round and round with my hand tucked under my head, trying to will my mind to shut off and sleep. Usually, on nights when I killed, my adrenaline pumped for far too long, despite my efforts at calming myself, so I’d take a sleeping pill before bed, but I couldn’t tonight. Not with Luca in the next room. I didn’t want to be dead to the world if he needed me.
Needed me?
Sh*t. I was torn between tossing him out of my f**king house or bundling him up and taking care of him, and I had never wanted to take care of anyone. I had men here or there in my life for quick f**ks, not snuggles or relationships. Not that this cluster f**k of a situation had anything to do with relationships.
This young man didn’t know anything about taking care of himself. He didn’t know anything beyond being a slave. A s*x slave. I wasn’t equipped to handle this or him. My life was simple, and just the way I liked it. No one in it to complicate things with feelings and needs, and Luca was beyond needy. God, the way he curled up next to me on the floor like some beaten puppy desperate for love. And he made me pet him for f**k’s sake.
I may be many things—bad things—but being an owner of a s*x slave wasn’t one of them. I didn’t f**king traffick little humans and f**k them. Sh*t like this was why I did what I did. Kill the f**khat who made this world darker. It took a dark person to kill the dark. Not the light. The light was too gentle. The light was about law and order. The darkness masked chaos and evil. It took darkness to know darkness. My father taught me that after he killed the men who murdered my mother. I’d only been five years old at the time, and it was something he drilled into me over and over so I never forgot it.
