Pride Month Sale!

6/1/2026

Happy Pride Month, everyone! To celebrate, I'm putting the Chronicles of Tournai series on sale for the whole month of June. These are fantasy romances full of magic, secrets, swoony romance, and sometimes dragons, and are perfect to escape into for a break. It's a great time to grab the series to binge (all eight books for under $20!) or pick one up to try or complete your collection while they're cheap. 

​The Prince's Consort
 99c
The Artist's Masquerade 99c
The Scholar's Heart $1.99
The Sorcerer's Guardian $1.99
The Dragon's Devotion $2.99
The Merchant's Love $2.99
The Spymaster's Secret $2.99
The Envoy's Honor $2.99

Backlist Update!

All right, my darlings, the Chronicles of Tournai and Elemental Magicae books are reappearing on retailers' sites as we speak! Some retailers have been really quick, others slower (including libraries), so if you don't see a book at your retailer of choice, please be patient and check back again a little later. 

For now, they are only available in ebook. There will be paperbacks again, but probably not for a couple of months—the cover artist is really busy and can't fit me in until later to revise the paperback covers. I am so grateful to her that she was able to squeeze the ebook covers so quickly!

If you've already read these, no need to buy them again—absolutely nothing has changed from the previous versions. (It's so tempting to start revising, but if I did, I knew I wouldn't be able to stop, especially with my earlier books—I love the stories and characters, but my writing has changed so much in the years since I wrote them!) But I would so appreciate it if you could leave a review wherever you purchased the book. All of the prior reviews disappeared when the books were taken down, and reviews help so very much.

And if you haven't read it yet, I've put The Prince's Consort on sale for 99c (or equivalent) through March at all retailers, so now is a great time to grab it.

Read An Ebook Week Sale (and a backlist update)

The Smashwords Read an Ebook Week sale starts today! To Love the Dragon King is 50% off there through this week. Grab it cheap while you can and read it before To Know a Dragon Spy comes out!

I was hoping to have at least some of my backlist available again by now so they would be part of the sale too, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm just waiting on the cover artist to revise the covers to take off the publisher's logo—but she's busy and doing her best to fit me in, and I hope I'll have them soon. I won't be doing preorders for these backlist books, so as soon as I have the covers, I'll start listing them and let you know. Ebooks will be out first with paperbacks to follow later (since those covers will take longer). If I get any of them for sale this week, I'll try to add them to the Smashwords sale and let you know. *fingers crossed*

Edited to add: The Chronicles of Tournai and Elemental Magicae ebooks are slowly making their back to retailers, and some of them are back on Smashwords and included in the sale. You can find my books on Smashwords here.

Some Backlist News

I announced this in my newsletter, but I wanted to explain here as well in case you're not subscribed (if you'd like to be, you can do that here—I don't send tons of emails, I promise!). Some people have noticed that my Chronicles of Tournai and Elemental Magicae books have disappeared from retailers lately. These are the books that were published by NineStar Press, and I have just gotten my rights back to them. It all happened much more quickly than I expected, and I didn't manage to warn you all before they were taken down.

But, I will be self-publishing all ten books. If you've already purchased them, you won't need to do so again. Nothing will be changing, even Natasha Snow's gorgeous covers. If you haven't read them yet and you were hoping to buy them, please be patient. I will have them back out as soon as I possibly can.

As soon as they're available again, I'll let you know here, on social media, and in my newsletter. The little dragons and I thank you for your patience.

​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 another snippet this weekend from The Merchant's Love. It's as close as I have to a holiday book at this point, and I often describe it as a warm hug in book form. In it, Faelen, a bookish royal, and Maxen, a merchant, fall in love over books and baked goods as fall turns to winter. In this snippet, Faelen and Maxen have been at a family Midwinter holiday dinner.

In this snippet, Maxen is shopping for a Midwinter gift for Faelen and has decided to buy him hair combs, since Faelen uses them in his long hair. Maxen's younger brother is with him and has some insights too. The Selene they mention is their sister. (The snippet is a bit long—sorry!)

Last weekend I shared a snippet from The Envoy's Honor because it had been out in the world five years last Sunday, and I thought I would share another today. This book is the eighth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, though it stands alone just fine (it also pairs well with The Dragon's Devotion, the other dragon shifter book in the Tournai series, since Bastien from that book is the brother of Griffen from The Envoy's Honor). The Envoy's Honor is an adversaries to lovers romance—Griffen and Kirill are put at odds in diplomatic negotiations, one trying to protect his family, the other his people. But when someone is murdered, they can only trust each other to find the killer (because they were kissing each other in the garden when it happened, so they know they didn't do it!) and they may save everyone they care about in the process. This snippet follows directly after last weekend's.
