Krammin' With A Kraken

2023

Ever been tickled by a tentacle? Neither had he…I’m a kraken, but that’s a secret between you and me, okay? Don’t go betraying me or I might blame you for slaying me. Well, you and whichever trophy hunter thinks they can take me down.I’m just on land to graduate from Slaymore Academy with honors—how hard can it be?Turns out… really, really hard. \wink wink\Regardless, I’m determined to stay focused. I’m going to learn from the best so I can return to the Bering Sea and make it safer for all the species who call it home.It’s important that I closely guard my secret, so that when I reveal myself, I can prove the point that krakens aren’t the mindless monsters we’ve been made out to be.And finally, I’m determined to not fall in love. Who needs that distraction—especially with so much on the line? Contrary to what my parents believe, I’m not just a baby-maker or a pawn to marry off in exchange for an alliance. I’m going to make a change for the krakens.But Fate’s an evil son-of-a-you-know-what who’s been meddling in my business. Now, I’ve caught the eye of the campus’ golden boy… and he’s determined to find a way past my barriers and into my heart.Poor guy has no idea what he’s getting into. Will he accept me when he learns the truth?And most importantly… I wonder how he feels about tentacles?Krammin’ With A Kraken is the first book in the Slaymore Academy series. The steam builds a little slower than some of my other books, but when it kicks in, there is plenty of heat in the bedroom… and other places.Each book in the Slaymore Academy series is a standalone, featuring a different girl struggling to fit in with the rest of her species, who finds herself at Slaymore. Every book in this series will end with a HEA… so no cliffhangers! Also, some of the girls may pop up in each other’s books. Since these books feature various paranormals who possess a variety of abilities, the steamy parts of the books will definitely take advantage of those skills.

Grading with a Gargoyle

2024

Gargoyles aren’t supposed to have pesky things like emotions. If I don’t get mine under control, I’ll be forced to spend the next hundred years stoned—and not in the way you are thinking! I’ve spent my life being told I’m a failure, thanks to my inability to become the emotionless, logic-driven gargoyle I’m supposed to be. Despite my years of effort, I can’t figure out how my species manages to teach themselves to be emotionless, and it seems the harder I try, the more I suck at controlling my feels. The fix, according to my parents, is sending me to Slaymore Academy instead of a gargoyle college. That way, I can get my degree without drawing too much attention from the Gargoyle Council until I’ve conquered my emotions and can stand before them as a proper gargoyle. At least, that’s the plan. But things start shaking up—literally, with repeated earthquakes—and my mentor collapses from a mystery illness. I agree to team up with Thane, a sexy hellhound who can feed on my emotions, to get to the bottom of things. It doesn’t take long for me to realize that being around Thane is stirring feelings inside me I’ve never experienced, and it’s unraveling the progress I’ve made over the past three years. Before coming to Slaymore, I’d never questioned my future. I just accepted that being a proper gargoyle meant protecting my own city, being assigned a partner to reproduce with, and a life spent watching the world pass by on the streets far below my rooftop perch with few interactions outside of my corvid companions. Now I’m wondering if there could be a different life for me—one where I don’t have to give up my emotions, my boisterous friends, or the sexy hellhound who claims I belong to him. I’m starting to wonder if my future truly is set in stone… or if I can carve out my own destiny. Grading with a Gargoyle is the second book in the Slaymore Academy series. The steam builds a little slower than some of my other books, but when it kicks in, there is plenty of heat in the bedroom… and other places. Each book in the Slaymore Academy series is a standalone, featuring a different girl struggling to fit in with the rest of her species, who finds herself at Slaymore. Every book in this series will end with a HEA… so no cliffhangers! Since these books feature various paranormals who possess a variety of abilities, the steamy parts of the books will definitely take advantage of those skills.

She and her husband share their home with their three children, adorable pup, five cats, pet arctic fox, chickens, and over a hundred other reptiles.
