Three Cover Reveals

3/17/2017

If you follow me on Facebook, you've probably noticed the three new covers I got this week. For those of you who don't check Facebook, here they are!

Dragon Adventure

May 17, 2017

Aqua and Rios are bored, which is always a recipe for disaster. They decide that taking a trip to visit Nickel would be a ton of fun, so they hop on a boat and go sailing down the river. Niagara Falls separates the two kits from their destination, not that they're aware of that fact, and their fun adventure quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival.

Dragon Home

June or July 2017 (Tentative Date)

With Rios happily mated and planning an entire future, Aqua can't help but feeling left out. The brother that had always been his chief playmate and best friend was planning to leave him behind, which isn't at all acceptable. The obvious answer is to leave first, so Aqua packs a bag to go on an adventure. Yet this adventure isn't anything like his last one and the chances of him surviving to return home alive dwindle every moment.

Justified

More Information Coming Soon

The world of vampires and werewolves is in upheaval. The magical community is under attack by a great evil power trying to destroy them all and their strongest fighter is oblivious with his nose glued in a spell book. Yani has given up hope in getting Aaron back on track. He knows he instead has to focus on his own future and the lives of those he loves, even if it means losing Aaron, the love of his life, forever.
Yani's life isn't the only one in flux. As the battle heats up and lines are drawn, the rest of his friends must fight for their own survival in a world with no answers to the terrible magic attacking them.

Cover Reveal: Ge-Mi: Part One

12/9/2016

Ge-Mi was one of the rare stories that I actually knew what I wanted on the cover. Most of the time I have absolutely zero idea and I hem and haw and generally drive LT3 and the artist crazy. Ge-Mi was the exact opposite. The image of Nevada, the main character, naked with his back to the viewer and his tail curled to hide his modesty was one that stuck with me from the first moment I started writing this story. Of course, I probably drove everyone equally crazy by being too precise in what I wanted, but I'm really happy with how the cover turned out.

A hundred years ago evil scientists spliced human genes with those of animals, creating a genetic mutation passed on through the generations. Hated because of their differences, these Ge-Mis live on the fringes of society where they scrounge and scrape to get by.
Nevada is half Ge-Mi, and hides that fact behind baggy clothes and by keeping distance between himself and everyone around him. One day his peaceful life is shattered by an explosion and the arrival of a pack of wolves to sniff out the culprit. Wolves have excellent noses and as Alpha, Taylor can sniff out every one of Nevada's secrets- and the harder Nevada tries to resist, the more difficult staying away from Taylor becomes.

Cover Reveal: The Case of the Wandering Wolves

12/2/2016

The Case of the Wandering Wolves is one of my older stories. I started writing it about the same time as my Dragon's Hoard series (this was late 2011), but I hit a roadblock and wasn't able to finish it. Luckily, that road block recently cleared up and Wandering Wolves was completed. It's the start of what I'm hoping will be a fun series that's more lighthearted romance than what I usually write. The cover definitely reflects that, in my opinion.

The Case of the Wandering Wolves comes out on January 11, 2017, but is already available for pre-order from LT3 for a 15% discount. Get your copy today: https://lessthanthreepress.com/books/...

Six years ago Latrans found his mate—and had to let him go. Now York has returned pleading for Latrans' help. His daughter has been kidnapped and Latrans is the only person York trusts to get her back. But a simple matter of rescue proves to be far more complicated than anticipated, and even having his mate at his side may not be enough to win the day.

Cover Reveal: Dragon Soldier

11/26/2016

Dragon Soldier is the second half of Nickel's story that began in Dragon Detective and it also concludes the first arc of the series. I had some second thoughts when I was thinking about what to do for the cover for Dragon Soldier. The story is about Nickel and Platinum, yet every time I reread the book one of my favorite scenes was one where Chrome and 'Ron knock down a tree in Dane's backyard. I liked the scene and the idea for the cover so much--and I know I won't be writing a book with Chrome and 'Ron as the main characters--that highlighting them here just worked for me. Let me know what you think!

Dragon Soldier comes out on April 5, 2017. I'll let you know when it becomes available for pre-order. Be sure to read Dragon Detective first, which is available right now.

The aftermath of the last battle has left Nickel weak in bed and grounded for the next decade. Despite being in trouble, Nickel wants to return to the battle against the enemy as soon as he can, but thoughts of Platinum, the dragon helping to nurse him back to health, keep distracting him.

Platinum can't believe how much his life has changed. He went from being a lonely fugitive on the run to part of a family in only hours. The last few days have been his happiest, especially now that he's met Nickel. He knows it's only temporary, though. The enemy that kept him captive for most of his life isn't finished with him yet, but even Platinum and Nickel's combined powers might not be enough to save them all.

Cover Reveals: Elemental Ride and Ner Li

10/23/2016

The covers for Elemental Ride and Ner Li, two of my upcoming books, arrived a few weeks ago. Since those books will be coming out soon, I thought I should actually share the covers. They're both absolutely beautiful!

Elemental Ride is part of the Roughhouse Raiders collection at LT3. It is an urban fantasy M/M, Poly story that comes out on November 9th, but is available for pre-order right now.

Ner Li (I Have A Candle) is part of the Sharing the Season collection at LT3. It is a contemporary M/M story that comes out on December 14th, but is available for pre-order right now.

Cover Reveals: Dragon Detective & Print, Vol. 1

5/23/2016

I have two beautiful covers to share from my Supernatural Consultant series and a potential release date for Dragon Detective. Scroll down to read all the information.

Supernatural Consultant: Volume One

Print Compilation of Dragon Consultant, Dragon Deception, and Dragon Dilemma.

Will be released approximately June 1, 2016.

Dragon Detective
Supernatural Consultant Book Four
October 19, 2016

Nickel might be a water elemental dragon, but even he has to draw the line somewhere. The sudden rain storms, hail, and even snow in mid-summer are going to drive him mad. Luckily, he works for Dane's Supernatural Consulting firm and can use those resources to figure out who keeps mucking with the weather and get them to stop.
It doesn't take long for Nickel to realize he isn't the only one searching for the weather worker. The enemy he has been hunting for ten years has finally reappeared. Nickel isn't certain he can win the race to find the weather worker or if he'll even survive the attempt, but in order to save the dragons he knows he has to try.

Cover Reveal: Dragon Dilemma

2/12/2016

Dragon Dilemma is book three of my Supernatural Consultant Series. This is probably my favorite cover yet for the series. It's so bright and vibrant, which echoes the kits perfectly, yet doesn't hide the destruction they are so capable of. Dilemma comes out on June 1, 2016. It should be available for preorder soon. I will keep my blog and twitter feed updated with news as this story comes closer to being published.

Cover Reveal: Dragon Dilemma

11/13/2015

Dragon Deception

February 10, 2016

A life full of children and mysteries to solve doesn't leave much time for relaxation or each other, something Lumie wants to help fix for Dane and Mercury by way of arranging a picnic. But good intentions and life rarely cooperate, and Dane knows it's only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.
Hell turns out to be someone using Quicksilver's name to destroy buildings, but there's no way to tell whether the enemy is an impostor or a trap—and only way to find out. Hopefully it won't mean missing the picnic.
