Magic, Romance, and Shifters – OH MY! This is a zany, wacky story about a guy named Lockwood King. There’s magic. There’s humor. There’s chaos. There’s meddling by outside forces (but it’s for their own good – really, it is). There’s sort of fated mates (fate gets a little push – okay, a big shove, but everyone deserves an HEA, right)? There’s a bit of cursing (the magic and the swearing kind). There’s inconvenient tentacle wrestling. (Don’t ask me, I just write what the characters tell me to). And speaking of tentacles, did I mention the cigar-smoking octopus named Clyde? If you don’t like absurdly unbelievable tales and magical mishaps, this probably isn’t the book for you. You’ve been warned.

Join my newsletter to stay up-to-date on upcoming book releases! www.naomivalkyrie.com Naomi Valkyrie, often called a Firebrand Provocateur, brings her unique Autistic perspectives and curiosities to life by weaving tales of deep connection, mystery, and romance. She is inspired by being able to spontaneously create a thought that takes on a life of its own, opening up new adventures for her readers. The Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy realms are particular areas of interest for Naomi as they allow for the vast exploration of magic, adventure, and the impossible while creating diverse characters that her readers connect with on an emotional level. When she isn’t attending to familial connections, Naomi loves a dark, comfy reading space surrounded by the symbolism of her spiritual archetypes and her daemon/familiars, while she sips her Starbucks tea and immerses herself in imagination.
