My next release is coming on 4th of October! Common Cause Kiran Grace and Andrelis Rossen meet as cadets at the Officer Training Academy of the Union of Independent Worlds and despite the rivalries and suspicion between their home planets, Akna and Parabellum, they can’t deny the attraction they feel. Kiran’s competence and flair impresses Andrelis and challenges his assumptions about Kiran’s people. For his part Kiran is attracted to the martial society Andrelis comes from, but not their stiff-necked attitude and cultural conservatism. After they graduate and go back to serve their home planets, they know they will probably never see each other again. They can only hold on to the happy memories of that intense academy affair. But several years later both are serving as officers aboard starships which are the first to reach the scene of a devastating explosion at a remote Akna mining colony. The two crews work together for days to help the victims of the disaster and the connection bet...

My newest release is available now - Chasing Ghosts is the latest in the Ghosts series, which are loosely related stories, so you don't have to have read the others to enjoy this one. But please, feel free to do so. 😁 This is the first time I've mixed in an F/F pairing with M/M pairings in the same series, so it will be interesting to see how that goes. How many readers are there out there who enjoy both M/M and F/F, as I do? Petra got her intro to the series as a guest character in Memory's Ghosts, now she gets her own story in... Chasing Ghosts Bad choices by overconfident maverick, Dani Novak, left a fellow marine dead and Dani cooling her heels in jail for five years. Now she’s out, with few prospects and fewer friends. Dani’s ex-commanding officer, Petra Hawkins, leader of the military contractor the Hawkins Free Company, offers Dani a job on her ship, the Persephone, after a chance meeting on the Red Palace space station. Petra still believes Dani has the potential ...

 My next release comes out next weekend! It's another story in the same series as Palace Ghosts and Memory's Ghosts. If you read Memory's Ghosts you already met Captain Petra Hawkins, and this book is hers.  Chasing Ghosts Bad choices by overconfident maverick, Dani Novak, left a fellow marine dead and Dani cooling her heels in jail for five years. Now she’s out, with few prospects and fewer friends. Dani’s ex-commanding officer, Petra Hawkins, leader of the military contractor the Hawkins Free Company, offers Dani a job on her ship, the Persephone, after a chance meeting on the Red Palace space station. Petra still believes Dani has the potential to regain some of what she lost, still believes she let Dani down before, and now believes she has a duty to help her. As the lowest ranking crewperson on the Persephone, with her history of a court-martial and jail, Dani faces distrust and suspicion from the company’s squad of marines and the ship’s officers. But after seeing the...

 The latest re-release in the Backlist Bonanza is here! Assumed Dead The zombie apocalypse left twelve people trapped, but safe, at a scientific research base on an Arctic island. Three years later, with supplies critically low, they know they can’t survive another harsh winter. But all of them fear what awaits them on the mainland. Former grad student, Matt Warner, has retrained as a nurse under the group’s doctor, Peter Lane. Training is not the only thing Matt wants to be under Peter for, but Peter has always resisted responding to Matt’s interest in him. Before all this started Peter had a husband, Harrison, back home. A husband he desperately hopes is still alive. Despair finally weakens Peter’s resolve and he and Matt begin sharing a bed. It’s Matt’s dream come true, even if he knows Peter’s feelings for him aren’t as strong as his for Peter. But everything changes, when the group learns of the existence of a vaccine against the zombie virus and they escape the island to sear...

It's new book day again. Something a bit different for me, a historical, set in the Old West. See there was a writing prompt, and I got an idea and here we are. It's a short novella, about 20,000 words long.  Three Times Elspeth Harris Rode to Town Three summer weddings bring Elspeth to town, kindling an urge in Rose to learn more about her. Rose learns they have many ideas in common, and hopes she can learn Elspeth’s secrets before summer ends. There had never been as much excitement in the town of Ghostbrook as there was the day Elspeth Harris faced trial for shooting a man. But it’s a clear case of self-defense, and she’s soon free to attend a wedding, where she meets Rose O’Sullivan, the town’s only seamstress, and engages her to make some unusual alterations. Rose knows Elspeth has a secret she is protecting, one Rose has only seen hints of. As a lover of dime novels and tales of adventure, Rose’s imagination runs wild. Could Elspeth be a government agent? An undercover la...

My latest release is out now. A historical/paranormal F/F novel, set in the 1920s, called The Haunted Diamond. The Haunted Diamond Carrying a stolen diamond across the Atlantic to New York is already a stressful job for jewel thief Bobbie. She didn’t reckon on also dealing with Iandara, the temporarily-corporeal ghost bound to the cursed stone and determined to destroy it. Or with her double-crossing ex-partner, Frances, out to steal it. What’s a girl to do? Not fall in love. That would be a terribly silly thing to do.

I feel like this is a very transitional time. Like everything is new.  New king here in the UK, which is a very odd thing to get used to New PM (closely followed by another new PM.) New owner for Twitter (I have  Thoughts  about Twitter, but that will be its own post eventually) who's apparently doing his best to kill it off, so that means...  Now new social media to try out. Find me on Mastodon . Other things, like the pandemic, like menopause and other personal stuff going on have me feeling that it's time for a fresh start. But one old thing is new again - I'm publishing once more! Woohoo!
