Are You Ready for Jólabókaflóð

Image
If you aren't sure what Jólabókaflóð is, you are in for a treat. It is the greatest holiday tradition you never knew about, and will want to work into your holiday from now on~if you're a book lover, that is. And I'm guessing, since you're here, you are! Jólabókaflóð is the Icelandic tradition of giving books as gifts on the eve of the holiday, then spending the day/evening reading them while enjoying a hot beverage of your choice, often jólabland (orange soda and malt/beer). Myself, I go for hot cocoa, but you do you.  Jólabókaflóð (pronounced yo-la-bok-a-flot) originated circa world war II when many things were rationed, but paper wasn't one of them. Couple that with Icelanders deeply ingrained love for books, and it swiftly became a tradition embraced and beloved by the entire country.  In mid-November, a catalogue of new book releases is created, everyone puts in their orders, and then the books are given as gifts on the eve of the holiday and everyone nestles i

Bared & Betrayed Cover Reveal

The cover for Bared & Betrayed, book four (but the third full-length novel) in my Children of Fenrir series is here! The novel releases this October 12th (pre-order available in September!). I am so excited to share it with you, so without further ado... In this Montana town of Viking descended werewolves, there are secrets upon secrets. In the name of protecting his family and his kind, Raul Anderson has made some horrible decisions, and even worse mistakes. Mistakes that got him bumped from First Verndari, to the bottom of the pack. Being blackmailed is no excuse, especially when he can't prove it. Unless he can work his way back up to the top of the pack, he'll never be able to challenge the werewolf he suspects is plotting to throw them into a war with humans.  But that isn't his only problem. As punishment for his mistakes, he is sentenced to be a kennari—a teacher to newly bitten werewolves. His first charge is not only hotter than Helheimr, she's also the new

Tempered & Turned's Origins

Image
Tempered & Turned started it's life under a different title, with a different publisher. Originally it was published as Twice Turned with the cover on the left.  When my original publisher first started developing the cover, they asked me to pick out models and images I liked. When I did, I bought the images myself to use as promotional material later, and I put my design skills to work to come up with my own images. When I got my rights back and it was acquired by another publisher, they loved the design I had created. We decided to use my design for the new cover with a few tweaks. That's why, if you look closely at the two covers, you'll notice the tattoos on Vidar for the cover of Tempered & Turned are slightly different.  I feel as though the new cover portrays the mood and elements of the story a bit better, but that could just be because I had a direct hand in it and am biased. ;) Which cover draws you in more?  Look for Ayra and Vidar's novel in it's

Tempered & Turned Cover Reveal

  New Cover, Updated Material, Same Great Story! For those of you who are new to the Children of Fenrir series , it started out with another publisher as the Hemlock Hollow series. I had two books out in the series, Once Bitten which is now Bitten & Betrayed, and Twice Turned which is now Tempered & Turned. My new publisher has edited them, allowed me to add a bit of new material, and has given them new covers, titles, and new life! So if you read Twice Turned, you don't have to read Tempered & Turned, it is in essence the same story. However, I hope you'll buy it for a friend or grab it for that beautiful cover. And please leave a review if you enjoyed it because reviews sadly don't transfer from the old version the new one. The new incarnation releases this April! The novella, Clawed & Cornered, is all new, never been published before, so grab that if you haven't yet. Also, stay turned for the release of the next all new full length novel later this su
