As we look at the week ahead, it’s fun to note that the groundhog will either see it’s shadow or not to determine if we will have six more weeks of winter or an early spring. I’m not entirely sure what people would want this year. I guess it would depend on how much snow you got (especially if you don’t normally get snow, right?).

We’ve got a new series launching this week and it’s a romantasy! If that’s your jam, be sure to check it out!​​

I have 3 stunning books launching this week, and the first release of the week is already here! That’s pretty sweet for a Monday!

This Week’s New Releases

Title: Forged in Flame
Series: The Firebound Chronicles Book 1
Release Date: 01/27/2025

Fire never lies.

In the kingdom of Sarindiel, Celina wields fire with vengeance in her heart, determined to avenge her mother’s death. She wields powerful flames and has become the realm’s most hunted witch.

When a sabotage goes wrong, Celina is tethered by magic to Prince Aremus, the commanding heir of his father’s corrupt kingdom whose runic blade extinguishes witches’ fires.

Yet, every brush of his skin sets her blood ablaze.

As they confront the growing darkness, Celina discovers an unexpected warmth within Aremus that ignites feelings she never thought possible.

Time is running out. Celina faces a harrowing choice: cling to her hatred or surrender to the very man she’s sworn to destroy.

Forged in Flame launches The Flamebound Chronicles, a captivating romantasy filled with magic, passion and a thrilling journey where every touch could mean salvation or destruction.

For readers who loved the enemies-to-lovers tension of FROM BLOOD AND ASH and the
magical intrigue of 
A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES comes a searing tale of secrets,
revenge, and a passion that burns hotter than any witch-fire.

And the people Abel comes in contact with? His curse becomes theirs. Sometimes, creatures from other realms reach out to those he loves… and snatch them up.

FBI Agent Emi Laurens once knew Abel, though she hasn’t thought of him for years. At the moment, all she’s concerned with is catching a serial killer performing Satanic rituals on his victims.
