Bears are supposed to live in the woods. Just not one who sends you to the moon.

I promised my friend on his deathbed that I would find the place I was destined for. Neither of us had a clue what that meant, but searching for it after he’s gone helps me cope with my grief, and I pack up my art supplies and hit the highway. When I stop for gas in Quincy, Thomas is waiting for me—in spirit. So, I stay—and find my dream cottage with a studio and hiking trails out the back door, and a quaint old tavern called the Starlight with a cozy booth in the corner. I set out my sketchbook and pencils and get busy drawing faces—my way of getting to know people while I enjoy a beer.
It works. I’m making friends and filling my journal with the kind of diverse characters typical of a crossroads pub. But diversity doesn’t explain why the people coming to life on my pages are the stuff of fairytales. The most fascinating is Andras Johns, and I’m wondering more often whether the towering man who sets me on fire with one look is the prince in the story or the beast lurking in the woods.
Andras Johns
I’ve been the alpha of the North Star Pack for a long time. My policy? Never mix it up with a human. I can’t stand the idea of exposing a vulnerable species to the hazards of my job, and the hazards recently ramped up. But there’s a new face in town. A beautiful, human face. The first time Selena Aires gives me her smile, I smile back. It’s a mistake—and I know I’m done for, which is a problem because an alpha can’t break his own rules.
Meet a giant, smoking-hot cinnamon roll hero and a diminutive lovable kickass heroine in this paranormal romance with heart, medium spice, and a little bit of danger. *This is not a standalone.* The hazards and thrills ramp up in Book Two, Drago Incendium.

Three Novellas… Three enchanting settings and adventures… Three unlikely lovers finding each other along the way…
Experience sailing the Caribbean Ocean with a pirate captain and his mythical lovers in The Salty Pearl’s Reluctant Commander. How will Bastien Verdon deal with his superstitious crew and a vengeful god who wants what’s his? Next is Captured By the Hunted, a vampire hunter story that asks who is the hunted? Gedeon Kadar, a Scythian warrior turned vampire or a pair of mated dhampirs hunting vampires for the Oltalom Order?
Fate Sent Her Two immerses you in a contemporary farmhouse setting in coastal California. Maggie McConklin, a widow and well-known figurative painter, launches an ad for housemates to save her home. Adam and Greg answer the ad. Sparks fly the moment the gorgeous men step out of their classic Charger to find Maggie and her Blue Heeler, Sorcha, waiting on the porch.
As a bonus to this diverse collection of sweeping, deeply romantic ménage à trois fantasy stories, enjoy Pinpricks: An Adult Fairy Tale. In its anthology appearance in Magick & Mystery by Dragon Soul Press, one reviewer said: “Superfast start. Very interesting premise. An unexpected joy.” Find out where a prince and three witches end up in a tale about choices, discovery, and questionable happy-ever-afters.
The weeklong sale is over and I can’t thank everyone enough for shining some love on my short story collection. You helped Priss Starwillow rise to No. 4 on the Amazon Best Sellers list in Short Stories and Anthologies, and it stayed in that spot all week!
The price is back to $1.99 (there are a few hours left if you hurry), but it’s also available on Kindle Unlimited, and other than the two feature stories, the rest are available right here should you wish to read them individually.
What you get all in one place… an eclectic bag of tales that offer sweet romance, a variety of fantasy and contemporary worlds, a dragon story involving a toddler guardian, an eternally tortured, bored Greek god, a cannibal comedy, finding your way to a lost world on a giant pineapple, a honeybee whodunit, a little historical fiction (you get the idea).
The birthday kid, Ursus Borealis, also made it to the No. 4 slot in magic romance ebooks, No. 12 in romance fantasy, and No. 25 in paranormal shifter romance! Drago Incendium was right behind it. While Tigris Vetus’s downloads didn’t rise to the same levels because it was discounted rather than free, it reached its best sales ever, and I was thrilled. Thanks to all of you who downloaded the entire series!
And a big thanks goes to our host Jessica Foerschler and all the participants in this quarter’s #RomanceBookBlast. Jessica even connected with Apple and BookBub and they featured the event in their marketplaces! BookBub also included it in their newsletter and posted it on TikTok. I was super thrilled and impressed. Thousands of new members joined the website to stay posted on upcoming events.
