Currently, I'm working on a new series, an urban fantasy.
Here's the tagline: When the Magic Surge unleashes chaos into an unprepared world, modern technology collapses, paving the way for magic, mayhem—and a fight for survival.
That's the idea behind my new series.
Unfortunately, I plan on shopping it around to a publisher instead of self-publishing this one, so I can't tell you more than that.
Wish me luck. :)
It may be time to say goodbye to the Arcons.
Sadly, I'm just not making the sales I wanted with my Romance Sci-Fi series Chronicles of Arcon.
I plan to wrap things up with one last book and call it done.
It may be out next year, I'm not sure yet.
The next one will be called Alien Awakening.
If you've enjoyed the Chronicles of Arcons and wish for the stories to continue, now is your chance. Please buy the books, post a review, and tell your friends.
Until the next book, please buy my newest release:
The night before he’s to be sold in a slave auction, the Arcon, Saber Daystar, is rescued by the human, Mouse, an independent scrappy thief.
Zinnia Field, a.k.a. Mouse, needs the hunky Arcon’s remarkable night-sight to help her steal information on where her mentor is being held prisoner.
As they race to the rescue, will the sparks that fly between them get in the way of the rescue attempt?

Saber Daystar had an itchy, creepy sensation crawling up his spine. His attention swung to a pair of piercing blue eyes, watching him intently through a small hole in the window. He gave a start then scrambled to his feet. Someone’s outside my window? “How did you...? That window is constructed from thick, escape-proof plas-glass.”
“Never mind how,” said a female in a soft voice. “Is it true Arcons can run fast, make excellent bodyguards, and see well in the ultraviolet range?”
“Who are you?” He approached the window with tentative steps. “What are you up to?”
“Answer my question then I’ll answer yours,” she shot back.
“Seems an odd way to inspect the slaves for tomorrow’s auction. So, you checked the auction catalogue and found me. The last Arcon in the galaxy.” He peered through the opening, observing the female’s button nose and fringe of brown hair.
“Hell no. I hate slavery.” She moved so she could stare at him with one eye then arched an eyebrow. “You’re wasting time.”
“An exchange of information then?” He paused. What do I have to lose? “My people can see in the dark and well into the ultraviolet. We are known for our speed and fierce in our duty. Your turn. Now start talking.”
“Awesome sauce, that’s exactly what I need.” She bounced up and down. “I’ve got a laser cutting tool that burns through all this shit. So, do you want to get out of here or what?”
I published Alien Rescuers on Christmas Eve.
Yay me!
I also went a little overboard making book trailers.
I'm on the final edits and the cleanup.
It'll be publishing soon.
Now I just got to figure out which day. I'm leaning towards Christmas Eve.
When this posts, you should see Alien Rescuers on Amazon.

I just sent back the first professional edits on Alien Rescuers. I have to say "professional edits" since a lot of writers are calling revision editing or self-editing. I always hire an editor for my books before I self-publish.
I'm not sure when I will be publishing Alien Rescuers, but it might be in December. I never set a deadline since something unexpected can and does happen.
So hopefully, the next edits will go just as well as the first and I can get my next baby out there.
Autumn is the best season. Why? For numerous reasons. So what are those reasons?
What about Autumn do you like? Did I list your favorite aspect of the season or do you have something to add?
I've been revising the next book in the Chronicles of Arcon series.
Yesterday, I went through and changed all the "shrugs". Not as many as I was afraid it was.
Then I looked up all the "looked" and it was a lot. I changed them to glanced, gaze, stare, and only kept like ten "look" that was in sentences like, "look, I'm only going to..."
Lastly, I looked for felt and feel. Sadly, I used more than I thought I did. And I know better!
Next, I'm working on "and"...and it's a lot, too. :(
Keep an eye out for the next book in the Chronicles of Arcon series. Coming soon.

Tagline: Someone
needs rescuing—but who’s rescuing who?

is rescued by the human, Mouse, an
independent scrappy thief.

There always comes a time when you have to put your book down so how do you mark your spot? There are different ways of doing so that reflect the different type of readers in the world and each with their own personality.
Type 1: Traditionalist:
These readers use the classic tool— a bookmark. Nothing in the book accessory category can ever beat a bookmark and tucking it between the pages before closing the book and seeing the colorful, fringed string hanging. If this is choice, you have more than a dozen of different bookmarks and each one reflect some aspect of your personality or the book’s tone. If you are like me, you purchase a new bookmark every time you get a new book.
Type 2: Modern:
This type of reader is the one who uses those plastic arrows, these bookmarks are the newfangled cousin to the paperclip, which also falls under this reader type. You probably have a those things scattered about. Me personally, I don’t like them. They slip off the page so they’re useless.
Type 3: Wild Card:
This reader type will use anything handy to mark their place. Pieces of paper, a sticky note, a picture, anything. Maybe, you tell yourself you’ll purchase a bookmark and most likely you have but it’s lost or stuck in a DNF book that you shoved onto your bookshelf. But you don’t have time or the want to search it out and when you’re at the bookstore, you never pick up a new one for various reasons.
Type 4: The Animal
The animal is the one with the dog-eared pages. The upper right-hand corners of every dozen or so pages are creased. Book lovers are irritated by you but you don’t care. You do things your way.
Which one are you?
