It's out there!!

I'm so excited to announce that I actually have a new book released!!! This has been a long time coming LoL

It's literally been years since I released something new. My writing brain was buried under a mountain of stress, writer's block and a Mr. Hyde like case of imposter syndrome. But I somehow managed to dig my way out and TADA!! 

Inspired by my new home by the ocean in Nova Scotia, I loved writing this book about an unknown world under the water's surface.

Beneath the Surface 

* Bisexual Menage

* 61,000 words

* SciFi Romance

It's every biologist's dream to discover new ecosystems, but when Alnilam found life on a planet reported to be uninhabited, her superior officer rewarded her discovery by dumping her overboard. Plucked from the surface, she realizes she's been captured by people she can help. Now she has to convince them she can find the cure to the mystery bacterium infesting their city.

Alnilam came equipped with translators, but even she can't comprehend why her sexy captors are the ones who are protecting her from the government that doesn't want her there. These two men have every reason not to trust her, but she has to trust them if she has any hope for surviving in a culture that views Earthlings as an invasive alien force.

As they share their world with her, her feelings for them force her to decide if she wants to stay on a plant that will never accept her, or find her way back to the Black Arrow and leave her beneath the surface.

                                              I took this picture at the end of my street one morning.

Working under pressure...

 I'm very excited!!

I have finished another round of edits on Beneath the Surface. All it needs is a solid beta read and then it should be ready to be published. I'm so freaking excited about this!! It's been a long haul back from crippling imposter syndrome and writer's block. But this summer I'll have a full length novel coming out and a short story in the the Ignite Your Soul anthology!

This anthology is a charity compilation put together to benefit Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. I'll be at Ignite Your Soul in August, my first book signing since the world went crazy a few years ago.

Things I wish I was better at #48027r5908234-09

 Yup, were closing in on 2 years since I updated this page.... I'd promised that I'm going to make this more if a habit but...yeah. We all know how that will go. LoL

I'm much more active on FB and Insta than on my own little corner of the Internet. 

It's been a busy couple years. I won NaNoWriMo in 2022 and 2024 which I think it pretty awesome. I've been working on books but the imposter syndrome has been LOUD and STUBBORN!

But, I'm working on it. I'll be attending Ignite Your Soul Author Event this August and it's helped keep me focused. I want to have at least 1 book out before I go.

I'm going to be writing a prequel of sorts for a charity anthology they are creating for the event. I'll be a short story in the world of the Black Arrow.

The Black Arrow series is an idea I've been toying with for the last couple years. A Robin Hood type group of deadly mercenaries that roam their part of the universe trying to right wrongs. 

Certainly darker than the original Robin Hood books but I couldn't help but put a bit of dark humour in there 

One of my favourite characters in all the Robin Hood franchises was Alan Rickman's Sherriff of Nottingham. I love all the silly quips and campiness of this particular portrayal. 


As is normal when my brain works on a book, as I'm going through it I start thinking of side projects, follow up books and characters. But, often as is the case I can't fit is all in the 1st book. So my short story will be a bit of an introduction into the crew and the acquisition of new crew member who will be a large part of book 3. :)  It will take place concurrently to Book 1 which focuses on a single crew member who is working undercover and ends up in a dangerous predicament. 

I'm posting my new cover below! I haven't shared this anywhere else and won't until I get closer to release day. But for the few that still meander to my small corner of the vast internet, this is for you.

I love this cover so bloody much! And I love that I'm getting back to my original love of writing bisexual menages! 
Please let me know in the comments what you think of this one!!!
