Modified, Volume 1 is Live

By

I don’t think I posted an official notice when Modified went live, so here it is! It’s been slowly gaining momentum due to its provocative cover and reasonable price point of .99 cents. 🙂 The cover shown above is the PG-13 variation, so I don’t offend the sensibilities of any YA readers who may be reading this post. If you want to see the actual book cover, or get some more information on it, check out the book page for it:

Modified, Volume 1

Purchase Modified, Volume 1

Blurb:

Kate has enough problems – a boss that’s a little too friendly, a sex life that’s non-existent, and a cat with zero tolerance for late meals. The last thing she needs is to be kidnapped, even if it is by a hot Brit.

Afterwards, she’s mysteriously returned and has no memory of what happened. She learns, with the help of an eccentric sexy woman, that she’s been modified – given a power unique to her talents. Sounds cool, right? It would be if she knew how to use it without killing everyone around her…

Modified is a funny, sexy, geeky romp about the trouble of acquiring an unexpected and inherently evil super power. With offbeat characters, profanity, and a healthy dose of salacious thoughts, it’s an entertaining short read, volume one of a serial type series.

Reader Discretion is Advised: If you are offended by strong language or sexual situations, for the love of God don’t buy this book.

Why I’m writing the Modified Series

I know some of you may be wondering why I’ve ventured into adult paranormal, after focusing on YA initially. The truth is, adult fiction was my first love to read, and it was downright freeing to be able to curse and write about more adult topics, without worrying about unspoken YA restrictions. Is this novelette filled with super powers? Yes. I still love those–it’s so much fun to write about what it would be like to fry someone’s brain with a mere thought. Is this series much darker than the Connected series? Absolutely. I actually got the idea for Modified when I thought about taking the villain’s power from Connected and giving it to the protagonist. I wouldn’t call Kate an anti-hero exactly, but she certainly leans towards it. Are there more installments planned? Yep, one per month, if the talented cover artist Jasper Yu can keep up with that pace. He’s a good two thirds of the way through the cover for Volume 2, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

So what do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the cover art, the series premise, or any other thoughts you have about Modified.

Imminence is Live!

By

Happy Book Birthday for Imminence, finally released to the world! It’s been a little over 2 years since the first book in the series, Connected, but I’m hoping you’ll find it was well worth the wait. 🙂 Imminence is a young adult paranormal romance novel, and it picks up where Connected left off, after Em receives the mysterious phone call from her father. Filled with super powers, a new villain, and a new romance, you’ll love this second exciting installment in the Connected series!

I really love how this book turned out – it was a long writing and editing journey, but as they say, with practice everything gets easier. That is to say, it won’t be another two years before book three, the final installment in the Connected series. Hoping to write most of it during Nanowrimo this year.

Here’s the Amazon URL, it’s on sale for $2.99 for the first week of release, then it’ll be normally priced at $3.99.

Special shout outs to Leslie Lutz, my editor, and Taria Reed, my cover designer. Without the two of them, Imminence wouldn’t have seen the light of day, and I very much appreciate all the hard work they put it into it.

In other news…

I don’t think I made a formal release post for Modified, but it’s also out now and it can use some reviews. It’s a fun, sexy, geeky paranormal novelette, priced at 99 cents. Here’s the URL to go to, it has all the links to the various stores you can purchase it at:

Get Modified Volume 1 Now

I know I mentioned in the cover art post that it’s regular unleaded adult paranormal, but I just want to remind you of that again, since I’m more known as a YA author. Should be pretty obvious from the cover art that it’s not YA, but hey, you never know what people are thinking (which is why I wrote a disclaimer on the product page ><). I’m working with the cover artist, Jasper Yu, on the next installment, which I plan to release next month, aptly named Modified Volume 2.

I’m also working on a YA sci-fi short story that I hope will be included in an anthology AAYAA (the most awesome young adult Facebook group ever) is doing, like the previous one I did for That Moment When. That anthology is still free on Amazon, and in it you can read my horror short, “More Than a Crush.” Click here to check it out.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy Imminence! Please let me know what you think, comments are always welcome. 🙂
