“I think there might be something very wrong with you.”
Draven, Lord of Shadows
“I think you might be right.”
Lyric, Kicker of Asses
It’s finally finished, y’all! It took over a year. Normally, I can finish a rough draft in less than two months. Yeah, yeah, that was before I went back to work full time, but I never said I was a rational human. Just ask my mom.
This is the longest novel I’ve written–100k freakin’ words! Half of them are f-bombs and borrowed from the urban thesaurus. Okay, not half, but enough that I thought about taking some of them out. Then I quickly recovered from that insanity and left ’em in. You’re welcome.
Shadow’s Lyric releases June 1st. You can pre-order for only 99cents. I’m thinking I’ll keep it at that price through the first week of June (regular price is $2.99). Below is the blurb and links so you can check it out, if so inclined. Stay safe, my friends!
It began with a blood oath.
It ended in bloodshed.
When twenty-one-year-old Lyric is told by her father, Gabrian, she will be crossing into the Otherland as payment for a favor he owes the Shadow Lord, she thinks her life is over. In truth, it is just beginning. Years of training as a soldier and an uncanny ability to learn pretty much anything give Lyric the tools she needs to survive her new reality—and it totally helps that her new lord and master is sex incarnate.
Draven has long awaited Lyric’s arrival, and not just because he needs her to track a powerful weapon stolen by an unknown adversary. He believes he has everything firmly in hand, despite the subterfuge he foolishly agreed to some twenty years back. When Draven’s enemies and lies of omission both threaten the fragile bond he and Lyric are forming, he refuses to allow anything to stand in the way, not even the razor-sharp blade of Lyric’s favorite sword.
WARNING: This novel contains tons of bad language, the occasional smackdown, and a good deal of inappropriate humor–sometimes all at once.

Apologies, Saira! This fall has been super hectic and I’ve been working full time on top of trying to help my kids with remote learning, which means my plans for the writing, creating the paperback, etc. got pushed off to the side. I hope to start the paperback process this week. Fingers crossed I find the time! Thanks for reaching out!

I’m working on it! I’m super behind schedule–it’s never taken this long to write before, but I also have never had to do school at home with my kiddos. Thanks for reaching out and I’ll post when I have news. I appreciate you, Saira! Hope you have a very Happy New Year!
