Today kicks off the last few days of the month – four days to be precise! Where did July go? From what I’ve heard, summer has been quite hot this year! I hope you’re getting to enjoy a lot of pool time and time in the shade if you’re doing stuff outdoors!
I have 4 superb books launching this week and there’s not one, but TWO, books already out and both of them launch new series. I think that makes for a fantastic Monday!
This Week’s New Releases
Title: Dragon of Water
Series: Dragon Legacy Book 1
Release Date: 07/28/2025
The universe needs Penthia.
For Penthia, being an opal dragon has always been about peace and serenity.
When the secretive Dragon Protectorate assigns her to a new command and introduces her to Scarlet and Artemisia, she discovers a terrifying truth: a corrupting force is devouring planets across the universe, and the Protectorate has been hiding it for centuries.
Penthia must step out of her comfort zone and into battle.
With her unique magical abilities and her unlikely companion—a mysterious blue cat-like creature named Felidae—she must lead armies into corrupted planets, fighting enemies that transform living creatures into mindless minions.
Penthia has never led a force of this magnitude before on a mission this ambitious. They’re not only fighting for humanity, but all life, everywhere. Struggling to adapt to combat and command, she questions if she has what it takes to fill the shoes of the legendary warriors who came before her.
Her power to cast illusions and manipulate minds could turn the tide of a war that’s been losing ground for generations. But now it’s time to work together, bringing all the technology of humanity, all the magic of the mythical races, and all the cunning of the enemy into one strategy.
Can she master her abilities in time to save the Protectorate from annihilation? Or will the universe fall to the corruption that has already claimed countless planets and races?
Dive into the first book of the DRAGON LEGACY series and join Penthia’s battle against the corruption that threatens all life in the universe.
Title: The Love Knot
Series: The Glimmer Thread Book 1
Release Date: 07/28/2025
A Romantasy Urban Fantasy of Magic, Love, and Danger
Running a magical pawn shop in Austin was supposed to be the easy part.
Alice Landers is a fifth-generation thread-witch who can mend emotions, patch old memories, and bind magic with glimmer threads. But all that balance unravels the moment a cursed engagement ring lands on her counter—one that hums with forgotten power and latches onto her soul-thread like it’s been waiting for her.
Before she can figure out what it wants, a rogue mage named Ronan steps into her life—brash, unpredictable, and connected to her by a half-knot of wild, untested magic neither of them meant to create.
Too bad she’s already engaged to Matt, a calm, steady glimmer-mender whose magic resonates with hers in all the right ways… and who doesn’t know she’s suddenly tethered to someone else.
Now the threads of Austin’s magical grid are fraying, spell-eating scarabs are crawling out of the cracks, and Alice’s love life is turning into a magical event strong enough to destabilize the city itself.
Three hearts. One weave. And a bond that refuses to be untied.
Some magic doesn’t want to be chosen—it wants to choose you.
If you love magical tension, tangled loyalties, and emotionally rich romantasy with a sharp edge, dive into The Love Knot, Book One of The Glimmer Threads today.
Title: The Priestess’ Wish
Series: She Made a Mistake Book 1
Release Date: 07/30/2025
Two worlds. One destiny.
Lord Dickus Kahn is unbeatable in the online gaming world, but in real life, Laith Kelso is a pushover—allowing his ex-girlfriend to walk all over him while she dates other men in their shared apartment.
His life changes forever when a mysterious portal sucks him into another world called Krish.
The humans of Krish believe he is the prophesied Lion of Ascension, destined to save them from the brutal Arzoch horde that threatens to exterminate their species.
There’s just one problem: Laith is no hero.
Laith must transform from a gaming chair strategist into a real battlefield commander. With the help of Polid, a nomadic chieftain; Lyra, a powerful magic wielder; and Ishak, a fierce warrior who questions his every move, Laith applies his gaming tactics to actual warfare.
As Laith begins to earn respect and even discovers a sense of belonging he never felt on Earth, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The entire human population of Krish will perish if he fails.
Will Laith embrace his destiny and become the legendary Lion of Ascension? Or will his insecurities doom two worlds to destruction?
Pick up The Priestess’ Wish today and journey between worlds where online gaming skills might just save humanity.
Title: WitchPrey
Series: Quantum Sorcery Book 4
Release Date: 08/01/2025
It Started With a Simple Question: Why was Her Pillow Covered in Snow?
Thus began Aisling’s fight for survival, for she had been volunteered as a quarry in a savage game of Witch Safari.
That would be bad enough. But the organizer of the hunt was not content merely to unleash an expedition of hunters on her. Oh, no. He forced her to team up with her worst enemy.
Sapphire.
To survive, they will first have to not kill each other.
Then they will have to go back to basics. Stripped of wands, jewels, and runes, they will have to relearn how to leverage the simplest magic into something powerful.
It will not be enough against the merciless men and women who hunt them.
Sooner rather than later, they’ll need a wizard’s world of upgrades.
Fortunately, in the vast region whose population has been evicted to give the hunt its flavor, Aisling hopes to find the ordinary and odd items she needs to craft a festival of pain for those who track her.
Hoped-for acquisitions include:
An old-fashioned dentist office.
A microwave oven.
Fresh grapes.
And of course, an electrical power substation.
The predators better hurry to catch their prey, because if they don’t, and Aisling assembles her assorted trinkets.
Alas poor hunters, for they shall become the hunted.
