Don’t you enjoy slow weeks? I know for a lot of you, next week will start off slow, but probably go quickly with the shorter work week. At least tI hope it goes by quickly. This week is a slower week for me, at least, because we have no releases until mid-week. Crazy, right? 

How many of you are counting down until the weekend and a three-day weekend?
​​
I have 4 wonderful books launching this week, but none of them release until Wednesday, so you have a couple days to catch up on your reading! 

• Failure of Diplomacy(Not on preorder)
• Spellbound
• Saving The Sands
• Last Stop

This Week’s New Releases

Title: Failure of Diplomacy
Series: Diplomat’s Apprentice Book 10
Release Date: 05/21/2025

Space pirates, a missing ship, a galaxy in turmoil.

Anwyn Owens just wants to be a great mercenary under the legendary Veraz. No more, no less.

Her world shatters when her uncle Owen, President of the League of Free Planets, is kidnapped during a secret meeting with notorious pirate captain Shan. Anwyn rushes into the unknown aboard an experimental cloaked ship with a ragtag crew, intent on rescue.

Their only advantage? The element of surprise.

Standing in her way is a Malvore general with a vendetta, the mysterious disappearance of another experimental ship, and evidence of the Malvore building massive weapons facilities in supposedly uninhabited systems—preparations for a war that could engulf the entire galaxy.

Time is running out.

The Malvore will stop at nothing to keep their secrets, including destroying anyone who discovers them.

Anwyn must navigate shifting political allegiances, deadly space battles, and her own fears to rescue her uncle before it’s too late.

With war on the horizon, the mission becomes far more than a simple rescue. The intelligence Anwyn discovers could determine the fate of entire civilizations.

Will Anwyn and her team manage to rescue her uncle and expose the hidden Malvore plot? Or will they become casualties in a brewing interstellar conflict that threatens to engulf the galaxy?

Title: Spellbound
Series: The Charmed City Book 1
Release Date: 05/21/2025

Her Magic Awakens. Her normal life just burst into flames.

Lila Matthews is just a barista trying to make rent in Manhattan, balancing coffee orders and dreaming of owning her café one day.

When mysterious green sparks erupt from her fingertips during her shift, her ordinary world shatters. Something magical has awakened inside her – something wild and unpredictable that she can’t control.

Enter Caleb Blackwood, a stern warlock from the secretive Council of Magical Guardians. He claims Lila’s newfound powers make her a witch with a dangerous legacy – one that needs training before she hurts herself or exposes their hidden world.

Now Lila must navigate Council politics, master her unstable abilities, and unravel the truth about her heritage. The situation grows more dire when a rogue warlock named Sebastian steals the powerful Nexus Prism, threatening to tear open the veil between worlds with illusions that can warp reality itself.

With Manhattan becoming a battleground of swirling magic, Lila’s connection with Caleb deepens beyond mentor and student. Together, they race to find an ancient amulet that might stop Sebastian’s devastating plans.

Will Lila embrace her magical destiny and save the city she loves? Or will Sebastian’s illusions consume everything, including the forbidden feelings she’s developing for Caleb?

Pick up SPELLBOUND, the first book of The Charmed City series, where magic lurks around every Manhattan corner and romance brews stronger than any espresso.

Alex and company returned to Miner’s Hook as conquering heroes.

But their job wasn’t done.

There was the matter of the dark mark on their hands and the leader of the Salt Flat Bandits to deal with.

Once Miner’s Hook was free, they would move on to Night City. Reaching the city before school started was all Alex wanted to achieve. After the final weekend of summer, their free time would evaporate like water on hot pavement.

If they wanted bright futures, gaming would have to take a back burner to life. Excelling in school was their priority. When summer ended, everything would be different.

Change wasn’t always a bad thing.

Sometimes, an opportunity arises that is too good to refuse—a chance to influence their own destinies in ways they never thought possible.

The golden ticket winners were about to discover that all it took for their lives to change was the interest of one reclusive trillionaire. Mr. Tannenbaum’s flair for the dramatic was well known, and he had one final surprise prepared for all the golden ticket winners.

A contest that could determine the course of their lives.
