Pre-order Alert! Whispering Waves - Salt & Sea #1!

 Pre-Order Now! Available Oct. 1st, 2026!

https://a.co/d/05UyuRq7

NOTE: Whispering Waves, the first book of the Salt & Sea Series is available for pre-order, BUT I have to warn you!! This series is a bit darker of a romance than I usually write, because--I mean, duh!--it's pirates. They're brutes. The mermen are also bossy, mostly grumpy, and there IS mer/mer spicy *cough* in this book and mer/human in book 2+. So just beware... you've been warned, scallywags!


For centuries, the mers have lived beneath the Everealm seas, hidden from the surface world. But now something ancient has risen from The Deep—and the sea is no longer safe. Merfolk must make a decision: stay hidden or reveal themselves to fight the creatures threatening their kingdoms.

Maren is a mer princess with a plan to reunite the four pieces of the Tideheart--an ancient shellstone that gives all mers the ability to walk on land. Using her piece and gaining legs, she finds herself aboard a pirate ship and attempting to pass as human. It's too bad she's not the only person on the surface who knows about the Tideheart and wants her piece for themselves.

Pirate captain, Raff, has taken over the ship after his father is murdered on the main deck and the killer is still unknown. Upon finding a mysterious journal that speaks of a powerful shellstone, he wonders if this is what led to his father's death. Determined to finish what the late captain started, he begins his hunt while trying to keep his crew--and family--safe from the beasts lurking below.

Torrent, a warrior merman, wants nothing more than to continue the search for his missing brother after a fight with sea monsters goes wrong. But when he's forced into a betrothal with a princess from a neighboring sea, he may have to choose between duty to his kingdom or his brother. The princess in question is no wilting waterlily and the more he gets to know the pink-haired beauty, the less he wants to abandon her, even though his brother's life hangs in the balance.

A rival pirate, Captain Maddex, who has gained a fearsome reputation on the four seas, is about to meet his ultimate match--a female pirate who is allergic to commitment and avoids emotional entanglements like they're sea serpents. What will it take to convince a woman like her that even pirates deserve a happily ever after?

The Deep is awakening. The mers are returning. And beneath the whispering waves, love may be the most dangerous thing of all.

Whispering Waves is Book One of the Salt & Sea Series, a spicey interconnected fantasy romance series set in the world of Everealm. It is intended for mature audiences and to be read in order.

NEW RELEASE - Book One of the Lost Dragonites Trilogy: PRINCESS STOLEN!

“Stuck.” Manny replied, nodding with a frown. “Can’t shift. Gnomes help.”

“Yes, you said that. You wanted to help the dragonites, so you abducted a princess—me—and you want me to what, exactly?”

“Break curse.”

“Sure. And how am I supposed to do that?”

“Meet dragonite.”

“Alright. And just for clarity’s sake… what the hell is a dragonite?”



COVER REVEALS:

Books 2 & 3 of the Lost Dragonites Trilogy are now available to pre-order on Amazon. Here are the covers:

Cover Reveal - Everealm Books 2-5


 



Here are the covers for Wildfire, Blood Moon, Aurora, & Dynasty!

Writing Update: Books 1 & 2 of the new Salt & Sea Series, set in Everealm and featuring mermaids and pirates are written. Book 3 is almost finished and there will be 2 more books, totaling 5 in that series! It will be a slightly darker series in some ways, as pirates are not exactly gentlemen and even mermen are the bossy sort. Reader beware... or rejoice. Depending on how you think about it.

The Lost Dragonites Trilogy is done and being edited for publishing. Covers are underway and that series may be released prior to the rest of the remastered Everealm Series books. I see no reason to delay it, for those who have already read Everealm. It will introduce dragonites (dragons) and leave lasting changes in the northern half of the realm. 

Everealm remastered is done and proof is in my hands as of yesterday. I will go through it and make sure everything is good before publishing the ebook and paperback to Amazon this week. Hardcover is coming soon also. Beginning the remastered version of Wildfire now!

Cover Reveal - Everealm!

 


It's COVER REVEAL WEEK! 

I am releasing 1 cover each day this week for the 5 books in the Everealm Series. Today is book #1, Everealm! 

I also received a printed proof yesterday, which looks awesome. Printed copies will include a few images throughout and a refurbished map, which is another new addition. 

Writing update: I have finished writing the first 2 books of the Salt & Sea Series, a pirate/mermaid series set in Everealm. Already a third of the way through the 3rd book. 

And my cover designer has just gotten me the first draft of the Lost Dragonites Series, book #1, so once those 3 covers are ready, I can release them and that book series (dragon shifters, set it Everealm) for the first time. Eeeeek!

There’s something about the hours between dusk and dawn. It seduces us to give in to temptation—to let all our inhibitions go.

It’s liberating to allow your fantasies take control, even if it’s only for one night. To know that when dawn breaks, the sinful hours spent in the dark will be hidden forever.

But everything isn’t always quite so simple. Ask the guy who spent a few hours between the sheets with a woman who turns out to be someone he didn’t expect. Or the woman who signs up for cooking classes, but ends up getting an entirely different lesson in the kitchen.

At that moment, it may not seem too dangerous…or too risky. 

But be careful.

In hindsight, you might realize that a lot can happen in just…

One Night
