Serpentine Academy Book Two and Content Warnings

Wicked Chains is now available to read! Find it on Amazon in paperback and e-book format, and it's also free to read with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPDMD9HV

I've also added a new section to my website with content warnings listed. Wicked Chains is quite spicier than Wicked Bonds, and a few trigger warnings were in order, just so there are no surprises for anyone. Please review them before reading the books.

In other news, the third book in the series will be ready shortly, and you can expect it in November, perhaps even sooner than the planned release date of Nov 25th! It is still a trilogy, and book 3 will wrap everything up nicely... though there is still some room for another book or two in the same world, at a later date. I may have to say goodbye to Rose, Soren, Lucien, Ash and Drake, but I'm not quite ready to leave Serpentine Academy. I think it still has a few more stories to tell.

Speaking of stories to tell. Dark Gifts is back on track. As some of you know, I've struggled with this one, and had to put it on hold. I was worried that it was a little too slow of a burn, and the spice was being pretty freaking elusive. I've been working on the story here and there, in my 'down time' (what's that? haha), and finally like where it's going! It's still slow burn, but damn, when it hits... it's everyyyyythingggg. And I couldn't be happier about that, because this duet, the Vampires of London duet, has had my heart for a while. It's up for pre-order now with a date that's quite far in the future, but it will most definitely be releasing much sooner, likely early next year.
