Dauntless, yay!

 Hi darlins!

Never fear, Rivalries is still coming today, but I've also got a new release out--Dauntless! Dragons, their riders, the monsters they fight and the challenges they face, all packed into 130 exciting pages--and there's going to be a sequel too, probably in January, so heads-up on that ;) The prequel, Luckless, is still free on Amazon right now, so...lots going on!

Evan Luck is a dragon rider who, after years of thinking he'd never bond  with another one, now has a dragon again. His empathic connection with  the powerful silver dragon Ladon, known in his human form as Lee  Caldwell, has made them the most valuable defenders of the city of Forge  against monstrous invaders. The fact that they love each other and dote  on Lee's ten-year-old son, Jason? Those are blessings Evan never saw  coming. He knows life is good...even as he realizes that the world is  becoming more dangerous by the day.

With monsters leaving the  mountains of the Front Range to roam the plains for food and the influx  of refugees to Forge increasing by the day, Evan has his hands more than  full defending the city and training new recruits to fight. When Jason,  desperate to bond with a dragon of his own but continually refused by  the dragons of Forge, begins to lose control of himself, Evan and Lee  make plans to do the unthinkable: leave Forge to fend for itself and  take their son to Chicago, the nearest human and dragon stronghold to  their own city.

But Chicago has its own terrors to deal with, and their last hope for Jason's future might be lost before they can save it.

New Release: Luckless!

Hi darlins!

I have a new release today that I'm really excited about. This one has been a whirlwind--I wrote it over two years ago for Riptide, then pulled it from them for reasons which many of you know, then sent it in to Tor.com and almost--almost!--got accepted by them. Seriously, it was the most flattering rejection letter I've ever gotten before or since, but it was still a no. I was starting to think I should change the title.

Eventually I decided to self-publish, and today's the day! Luckless is a story about monsters and dragons and a city under siege, but it's also about second chances, new love, and family. It's one of my favorites, and I hope you enjoy it too.

Luckless on Amazon

Evan Luck is a dragon rider with no dragon. Five years ago, his dragon gave her life defending the monster-ridden remnants of Marble, and ever since, his ability to connect empathically to another dragon had been as broken as his heart. Now he spends his days dodging his disappointed mayor, crafting arrows, fighting off the not-as-legendary-as-they-should-be beasts that’ve overrun America, and just trying to get by in the city of Forge.

But when he meets newcomer Lee Caldwell, Evan thinks his lonely luck might be changing. Lee is the only person in the city who doesn’t blame Evan for his dragon’s death, and he welcomes Evan into his own little family. There’s more to Lee than meets the eye, though, and between his refusal to talk about himself, pressure from the mayor to split them up, and a monster attacking the city’s foundations, Evan isn’t sure he’ll live long enough to learn the truth.

But not learning the truth will almost certainly be fatal, both to Evan and Lee’s budding relationship, and to the entire city.

Luckless

Hey darlins,

The kidlet is clearly asleep, since I'm getting so much done right now ;)

I've got a free story up on Wattpad called Luckless. As of today, it's completed. If you're interested in reading about a future dystopia where monsters have overrun the world and humanity has allied itself with dragons to hold them at bay, plus a sweet and awkward romance, this is the story for you! It could use some more love, so if you're interested, please follow the link and check it out.

*mwah*
