It’s cold and white outside. Our wood stove is raging. The cats are lazing. The perfect time for a book! It felt a little decadent, though, to start my evening reading right after lunch. So, instead, I dug through my notes and pulled out some must-read recommendations for you. I adore Maria Vale’s The Legend…
Has it really been nine months since I posted a list of book recommendations? If you’re lucky enough to be able to ride out the COVID-19 outbreak at home and need something to keep you occupied, here’s the cream of what I’ve read in the last three seasons arranged from most-like-my-books to least-like-my-books. The only…
Two months ago, the conversation in my head went like this: Me: Well, that’s great! I nailed down all of the main characters for my new book…except for one. Luke, where are you? Luke: Here. Me: Yikes! What? Luke: Um, you called me. But I can fade back into your subconscious if you want me…
There’s something about the tight story structure of a great novella that snags my interest even though short stories often aren’t my cup of tea. Which is a long way of saying — two-thirds of my recommendations this time around are novellas. I hope you like the format as much as I do! Romancing the…
Once again, it’s been a full season since I perused recently read books and wrote up my favorite fantasy reads. Which means this post skims the creamiest of the cream — hopefully you’ll love every title I mention! Black Dog by Rachel Neumeier is perhaps the most memorable of the books I enjoyed in the…
Are you ready for a treat? I got together with six other authors to create a free anthology, full of werewolves and witches and necromancers and goblins. My inclusion slides into the middle of the Wolf Rampant Trilogy (but contains no spoilers, so you can safely read it whenever), answering that burning question — what…
Having trouble waiting for Huntress Unleashed? I promise to regale you with the first few chapters next week. But in the interim, perhaps you’d like to learn a bit more about Sebastien? Spoiler alert! This is set between books three and four, so probably best to read the first three books in the series first….
A huge thank you to everyone who’s made Rogue Huntress‘s release such a great success! Since I can’t send you real cupcakes in exchange for your assistance, here are some virtual ones created through a partnership between the Endangered Wolf Center and Sweetology. I think Ember would have loved them. Obviously, she would have chosen the…
With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I thought you might enjoy skimming the cream off my recent reading list. All of the books below are quality fantasies, most with a strong romantic thread. I read them and loved them — maybe you will too? C.J. Archer dependably delivers strong, young heroines living in a vivid historical…
Did you miss Incendiary Magic when the novella was in the limited-edition Fire Kissed box set? If so, you’re in luck! Fire Kissed is no longer available, but this intro to my Dragon Mage universe is now free on all retailers: Happy reading! And if you enjoy what you read, I hope you’ll…
