Hi all! I’m resting easy this weekend because final edits for BETWEEN FLOORS are done, and now it’s just typo fixing before release date.

Well, I’m supposed to be resting.

So of course I’ve ended up working on book stuff, anyway. Most of the really hard work wasn’t mine, fortunately–it was done by the amazing Francesca at MerryBookRound, who rejigged a couple of premade covers and did up a third from scratch to recover my entire Shards of a Broken Sword trilogy!

They are gorgeous and I’m very happy with them. In addition to the fact that they now look great, I can now very shortly get around to making paperbacks of each of the single books. You guys can look forward to that in the next six months…

In the meantime, feast your eyes!

Twelve Days of Faery

King Markon of Montalier is at the end of his tether. His son, Prince Parrin, is afflicted with a nasty curse that slaughters, maims, or brutally attacks any woman with whom he so much as flirts. After the rumour that sweeps around the kingdom, promising that any woman breaking the curse will be eligible to marry the prince, there is no shortage of willing volunteers.

Unfortunately, there is also no shortage of bodies piling up.

Markon needs to do something, but what? Can a visiting enchantress from Avernse help, or is she simply another accident waiting to happen? And will Markon be able to give her up to his son if she does break the curse?

Fire in the Blood

A princess in a dragon-guarded tower. The prince who is to rescue her. The prince’s ensorcelled dragon. And one enchanted keep that might just be enough to kill them all…

It’s widely known that Princess Kayami Koto is held captive in the Enchanted Keep by a dragon of great ferocity and skill. So when the bold, daring and crafty Prince Akish attempts to rescue her, it seems only sensible to bring his own dragon, Rafiq.

But the Keep’s dragon is only the first Circle in the Keep’s Seven Circles of Challenge, and both Rafiq and the prince will have to keep their wits about them if they’re to survive and rescue the princess.

There to help them is the princess’ serving maid, Kako. But why does Kako seem so familiar to Rafiq? Will she really help them, or does she have her own agenda? Rafiq isn’t sure, but he knows one thing: Kako may be the only person who can free him from his bondage to the prince, and that’s worth any amount of risk.

The First Chill of Autumn

Llassar is an occupied country—but nobody seems to know it.

Fae began to drift slowly into the land shortly after the birth of the crown princess, Dion ferch Alawn, fleeing a dark threat known only as the Guardians. But that was fifteen years ago, and now there isn’t a town in Llassar that isn’t populated by or under the control of the fae.

Smaller, weaker, and less talented at magic, Llassarians are quickly finding out that there’s no fighting the invasion that crept in so quietly and politely. Even the castle isn’t free of fae: Those closest to the king and queen are faery advisors.

As Dion ferch Alawn returns from a carefully sanitised tour of Outer Llassar, her carriage breaks down and she gets a taste of what the real Llassar has become: Desperate, enslaved, and ripe for rebellion. Getting home safely is just the first problem she faces; the real struggle begins when Dion returns to the castle. Her new knowledge is inconvenient and unwelcome—to declare it, treason.

Includes the short story, A TALE OF CARMINE & FANCY!
