Basil

2020

When I was young, I used to dream of finding my viramore—my soulmate—in all these crazy and amazing scenarios. But then my ex-girlfriend hired a mind-bender to mess with my memories, and well, it’s no surprise that romantic notions flew out of the window for me. I guess it’s fitting that the first time I meet my viramore, he points a crossbow at my head and threatens to kill me if I don’t get out of his way. Thing is, I’ve always liked a good challenge, and Hiro is nothing if not challenging. He’s kind of a jerk, but I guess I’m glutton for punishment because I can’t seem to stay away. When dark forces threaten to take away everything Hiro and Basil care about, will they be able to work together or will they let anger, speculations, and fear hold them back? Basil is the third book in The Brinnswick Chronicles and takes place in the same world as The Ellwood Chronicles, but can be read as a standalone novel. This MM romance contains explicit material and is intended for mature adults 18 years old and older.

Check. Step Three: Try not to strangle him. Uh… do I really have to check this one? Because I really want to wrap my fingers around his—ugh.

Seb & Ailin

Case of the Murderous Mistletoe

2024

What in the world has my soulmate gotten us into this time? All I want to do is get ready to have our family over for Winter Solstice, but like all things involving Ailin Ellwood, we get pulled into another wild BCA case. The Brinnswick Central Agency tends to pull us in for the really… let’s say difficult—and weird, let’s not forget weird—magical cases, so I have no doubt this one will be a doozy. Even knowing that, I never really expected to be attacked by kids’ toys and Christmas decorations. But when my viramore—soulmate—is involved, well, things get all kinds of whacky. Join Seb and Ailin as they try to figure out who’s behind the murderous mistletoe while they get ready for the Ellwood family holiday celebrations. \*This story takes place in the Ellwood/Brinnswick world. Reading the other books might enhance your reading experience, but it's not necessary to read them first. If you want to, you can find the Brinnswick/Ellwood reading order on the author's website.

The Vampire's Delicious Fae

2025

If I never had to see that vampire again, it would be too soon. But then why do I like the way his eyes follow me whenever he’s around? Anton is beyond frustrating. He was such a massive jerk the first time we met, even more so because I’d thought we had a connection. But then he had to ruin everything with his big mouth and jerky face. Ugh. And I haven’t stopped thinking about him since. It’s driving me mad. The Vampire’s Delicious Fae is Book 2 of the new MM urban fantasy series, Tales From Gauhala. It follows a new couple in each book with a guaranteed HEA. It takes place in the Brinnswick world in the far away country of Gauhala and brings a whole new cast of characters, so you don’t need to read the other series first. But don't worry, there will absolutely be some cameos along the way.

Michele is married to an awesome guy that puts up with her and all the burnt dinners she makes—hey, sometimes characters are a bit distracting, and who doesn’t plot when they’re supposed to be cooking? They live together in Baltimore, Maryland with two little monsters, a three-legged princess, a four-legged goofball, and a cutie with giant ears (aka their two kids, their two cats, and their dog). She hopes to rescue another cat soon, and if her hubby wouldn’t kill her, she’d get more than one… and maybe a few more dogs as well. She loves creating worlds filled with lots of love, chosen family, and of course, magic, but she also likes making the characters fight for that happy ending. She hopes to one day write all the stories in her head—even if there are too many to count!
