Anubis is coming!

I don't have the exact date yet, but it will be in the next week and a half. I am finishing up the formatting.

 

This is a monster of a book clocking in close to 200K!

My Patreons will get an ecopy a week before it goes for sale on Amazon. I should have an exact date for the Amazon release in the next day or two. It will be announced on my social media, website, and here. There will be no pre-orders this time. It will be on Kindle Unlimited like all my books.

I made some slight changes to the Anubis cover so the black ichor looks more realistic.

Cover Reveal: The Others Project gets a make-over

When I released The Others Project books sci-fi romance wasn't popular like it is now. If you enjoyed my sci-fi romance Nox, you might want to give The Others Project a try while you wait for Nox 2.

I've updated the covers and hope you enjoy the series.

**I'm balls-deep in finishing the last two Bound Gods books. I want to release them at the same time since its fans have been waiting for the conclusion.

Excerpt

Each year, hundreds of writers send in stories for the Queer Sci Fi flash fiction anthology. Here are the opening lines from some of the stories chosen for the 2019 edition – Migration:

“Darkness has substance. It is tangible; different shades within the black, sounds, a taste. It is accompanied by self-awareness of time and thoughts, even when other senses fail.” —Hope for Charity, by Robyn Walker

“The sky has been screaming for five straight days when the shrimps come to take us away. They’ve been boxing up the others and hauling them off. Now they’re here for us, soaking wet, dragging cords and crates behind them.” —Shrimpanzee, Sionnain Bailey

“Allister always had faultless hair. He’d comb and gel it to perfection while gazing in the mirror. One day a pair of eyes stared back.” —Zulu Finds a Home, by Kevin Klehr

“On her sister’s wedding day Ari noticed that one of her ears had migrated to her hand. It was right after her high school crush, Emily, arrived with Cousin Matt.” —Playing It By Ear, Aidee Ladnier

“The wound was fatal. Their vessel wouldn't live much longer. This is what came from leaving loose ends. Frantically they sought out a new vessel to migrate to. “ —The Essence, by L.M. Brown

“That night, we were sitting in the bed of her daddy’s old pickup truck and the radio was playing the best song. We had a pack of cigarettes between us and her hand was almost touching mine. The wheat field was silver in the moonlight. When they came, we weren’t surprised, just disappointed that our time was up already.” —Our Song, by Lauren Ring

“Willow said she was my wife, but I knew it wasn’t her, not the right her, anyway. Sure she looked like her with olive skin and bright pink hair. She even smelled of mango flowers, just like I remembered, but there was something about her smile that was slightly off, something about when she said she loved me that didn’t sit well in my old heart.” — They Said It Would Be Her, by Elizabeth Andre

“Agnes is eight when she first sees the river. Cutting its way through town, the only thing she knows not coated in coal dust. She sticks her toes in, comes home with wet socks and a secret. See, the river hadn’t been there yesterday.” —Stream of Consciousness, by Ziggy Schutz

“Terry twirled in her green synthsilk dress, looked at her reflection, liked what she saw. She felt good in her own skin, for maybe the first time.” —Altball, by RE Andeen

“The thing was in the corner. It had come through the window and had slid down the wall. Scratch went the sound. The noise of a hundred nails clawing at the wood. Nails of white bone. Alex pulled the sheets up quickly, covering every inch of skin and hair in a warm darkness.” —Whose Nightmare, by Jamie Bonomi

NoX has a blurb now and is on Goodreads

NoX

by Adrienne Wilder
One is a dying man.
The other is a man who died to live.

A nude man invades Luca Suarez's home and protects him from creatures who cannot exist. Creatures hunting him. 

The stranger can't tell Luca why. He can't even tell Luca his name. 

He remembers nothing until the moment he sees Luca.

The only hint Luca has to the stranger's identity is a tattoo on his wrist: N o X

Nox doesn't know who he is, but he's sure of three things, his memory loss is temporary, the monsters chasing Luca are called Anubis, and his Alpha, Koda, sent Nox to protect him.
There's just one problem… Koda is Luca's brother who was murdered five years ago.
With each passing hour, Nox fills in the pieces painting an impossible truth. And with each passing hour, both men find themselves unexplainably attracted to each other.

Something Luca is willing to embrace because he has nothing left to lose.
And one Nox can't let happen because it could get Luca killed.

*Nox is a HEA m/m paranormal, science-fiction romance.
But be warned, these are NOT the shifters you are used to reading about.

Thirteen part II is coming soon!

Hello, it's been a while since I've had any news for you, but Thirteen part II is with the editor. Once I get it back I will have more details on the release. I am hoping by the end of May.

I have been feeling better and have made a lot of progress on many stories. I hope to publish more this year. I will post more about those books soon!

Thanks for all your patience with Thirteen part II. The Others stories are complex and at times, exhausting to write. I think you will be happy with the results. Yes, Thirteen will rip your heart out and put it back together again. It's what I do best ;)

If you haven't read Thirteen part I, you can grab it here.

Thank you for all your support!
