It is, officially, the first day of Fall! For those of us in the U.S., we have a little more than a month before the time change, and we gain an hour of sleep (Or reading time). And, most importantly, all the outdoor bugs disappear. No more mosquitoes or spiders! Downside: it means leaves are going to start falling. Can’t win them all, unless you are talking about books!
I have 4 amazing books launching this week and the first two books arrived this morning! That’s pretty sweet for a Monday!
This Week’s New Releases
Title: No Deposits, No Return
Series: She Made A Mistake Book 3
Release Date: 9/22/2025
From gamer to hero. The final battle awaits.
Laith Kelso was once just a guy playing video games in his apartment. Now, he’s the Lion of Ascension—a prophesied hero tasked with saving an entire world.
As the war against the corrupted Arzoch horde intensifies, Laith must unite nomads, sea princes, and magic-wielders into a fighting force capable of defeating an ancient evil.
The Ghullar—malevolent spirits that corrupt all they touch—stand in his way. Their dark influence spreads like poison through the land of Krish, turning the once-peaceful Arzoch into bloodthirsty monsters.
With his loyal honor guard Ihsak at his side, Laith must lead the Coalition Army to the Wastes where the Ghullar first corrupted the Arzoch. There, an uncorrupted Arzoch must blow a magical horn and sacrifice himself to banish the evil spirits forever.
The stakes couldn’t be higher.
If Laith fails, humanity on Krish will be extinguished. Yet even if he succeeds, he must face his greatest challenge yet: deciding whether to return to Earth or remain in Krish with Ihsak, the fierce warrior woman who has captured his heart.
Will Laith fulfill his destiny as the Lion of Ascension and save Krish from destruction? Or will the Ghullar consume everything, including the man who never wanted to be a hero?

Series: House of the SpiderKing Book 9
Release Date: 09/24/2025
Haven’s walls have never been breached. Until now.
The war has taken a terrifying turn.
Elana thought she understood the enemy: vampires drunk on power, territories falling to ancient feuds. She was wrong. When Valissanen’s entire population storms the alliance lines in a single night, she realizes someone has changed the rules of warfare itself.
A sinister transformation spreads through the fallen territories, turning vampire and human alike into something else. Something controlled. The alliance scrambles for answers while their enemies multiply with each passing day. Whispers speak of disappeared populations and cities that vanish overnight.
Elana and her team face horrors that defy everything they know about vampire nature. The temple survivors speak of visions through the Nexus, glimpses of a conspiracy that reaches into Haven’s highest towers. Someone they trust is working with the enemy, feeding them secrets that could destroy the last free city-states.
With her Emissary powers growing stronger and more unpredictable, Elana walks a razor’s edge between salvation and catastrophe. The final battle approaches, yet the greatest threat may not come from outside Haven’s walls. It may already be inside.
Discover a world where every ally could be an enemy and every victory might be a trap. Can Elana expose the traitor before Haven falls from within? Or will the price of victory demand sacrifices too terrible to imagine?
Title: The Waif Forward
Series: Merlin’s Waif Book 7
Release Date: 09/26/2025
Without the thread, all portals fall. Without portals, worlds collapse.
Merritt Vale thought her biggest challenge was raising two magically-grown children while guarding New York’s hidden paranormal community. Then the impossible happened: someone escaped the inescapable dragon prison, and now every dimension holds its breath.
The Saci once wove the thread that holds portals together. Now they’re missing, and without their magic, the barriers between worlds are failing.
As Merritt races through Ruin Guard’s jade palaces and into the untamed jungle, she discovers the truth is worse than anyone imagined. Someone stole more than thread from the Saci. They stole their very essence. The same someone now hunting her community.
Giant poison dart frogs, pyramid-dwelling monsters, and a conspiracy that spans realms stand between Merritt and the one thing that could save them all: a simple red cap that holds the power of an entire civilization.
In the depths of the rainforest, Merritt must make an impossible choice: retrieve what was stolen and risk unleashing something darker or watch the pathways between worlds crumble forever.
Can she restore the thread that binds all paranormal realms? Or will her quest to save one people doom them all?
Journey from NYC’s hidden streets to the Amazon’s ancient pyramids. Will you discover why a single red cap holds the power to save or destroy every portal between worlds?
