​The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.

I'm sharing snippets from the first chapter of To Love the Dragon King, the first book in my Dragons of Ivria series (I promise I'm working on book 2 and will have it out as soon as possible!). To Love the Dragon King is a dragon shifter fantasy romance in which Lysander, the king of Ivria, discovers the existence of a plot against him and his country. While searching for the conspirators, he encounters Sascha, a young man whose family has been using him as a bargaining chip in that same plot. Lysander is immediately fascinated by Sascha, but can he trust him? Can they trust each other, even as they become closer and danger closes in? This snippet follows directly after last week's.

Happy Bi Day of Visibility! I'm sharing some recommendations of books with bisexual main characters to mark the day. I always try to share different books than I have in the past, but there absolutely might be some repeats (which probably means I really liked the book since it keeps coming to mind...?).

Let's try this again! The Passaic County Book Festival was originally scheduled for a Saturday in June, but the weather didn't cooperate and the outdoor event had to be canceled. I'm excited to say that it has been rescheduled for Saturday September 27th (and we're all keeping our fingers crossed for good weather this time!).

​I love this event. It's organized by the local library system, and so many local authors will be there signing and selling their books. There are always great discussions and readings and activities for all ages and food trucks, all in a really pretty park. I'll have some of each of my books with me for sale, and I'm so looking forward to spending time with readers. I hope to see you there!

I'm taking a little break from To Love the Dragon King snippets to share from The Dragon's Devotion, which has been out in the world eight years this past week. The Dragon's Devotion is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, but like the others in the series, it stands alone. It's also the first dragon shifter book in the series (and the first dragon shifter book I wrote!). In it, Corentin is a scholar trying to ensure that no one learns he's a dragon shifter or that others exist when he meets Bastien, an earl who has just learned that his parents' death years ago might have been murder and not an accident. Neither should fall in love with the other, but they can't help themselves and when Bastien's inquiries into his parents' death put him in danger, Corentin is left to decide if he can reveal the greatest secret of his people to save the man he loves. This snippet comes from the beginning.

So, August was not the best reading month for me. My brain did not want to focus on reading, especially new books, but I did read a few I enjoyed:
