Alien post-apocalyptic mf omegaverse romance short prequel story!

CLAIMED is available for purchase on Amazon or Free when you sign up for my newsletter!

A post-apocalyptic Earth. A woman who welcomes the alien invasion. An alien determined to claim her.

Willow

I would rather die at the hands of the aliens who land in my cornfield than suffer another day in this post-apocalyptic wasteland.

When the eight-foot wall of purple muscle drags me into my house and marks me as his mate, I discover he’s offering me something better than death, the opportunity to be his omega.

Should I take his offer or jump into the alien dating pool feet first to find a better match?

Strykr

As agreed upon many years ago, when Earth called for help, Thro answered.

While it was a tragedy for the people of Earth, the devastating virus that prompted their distress call could not have come too soon.

The Throkyn nearly extinct, we gathered what was left of our pack and traveled across space and time to the only planet we knew housed compatible omegas to save our kind.

I never dreamed I’d find my omega the moment we arrived.

Willow does not know what it means to be the pack leader’s omega. After all, she only learned of alien life a moment ago.

There is fear in her eyes but also an abundance of love in her heart.

I can only hope she will set aside her fear and allow our hearts and souls to become one.

Claimed is a short story (5500 words) and a prequel to the Knot My Earth series. Intended for adult readers. Implied HEA. This couple will appear in future books.

Writing: Monthly update for February 2021

Happy March!

Hello friends!

February was great! My husband and son made my birthday, on the 27th, amazing! 
On Friday, our 16-year-old made seafood pizza with homemade crust and homemade kitty biscuits for biscuits and gravy the next morning!

Hubby made breakfast on Saturday! Biscuits and gravy, scramble, French toast, and burnt bacon (my favorite!) And my cake. OMG! My cake! I love unicorns. So, yeah. This cake was everything! Even the sprinkles!! It was a great day of binge watching most of season 5 of Gilmore Girls and eating way too much sugar.

BULLET JOURNAL SPREADS!
This month's theme is kind of obvious but also goes with an announcement I'll make later in the newsletter. Keep reading for some exciting book news! Also, I used washi tape for the first time. But only because I made a mistake too big to fix with whiteout lol

I started using MeWe this month. Mostly because Facebook has threatened to delete my group by way of policy changes. They are going to show you posts from groups less often and start deleting groups that post pics of shirtless men aka my book covers.

MeWe lets me post whatever I want! PLUS, they have the group chat function. This has opened up a new line of communication with my readers that I am in LOVE with! Live writing updates!!

The image below is an example of what we get up to during my writing sessions. We also just chat about books and life and whatever. It's fantastic! I would love to see you there!

RUNNING INTO TROUBLE

Available on amazon.com on paperback and in Kindle Unlimited March 16th!

Pre-order the ebook today! - https://books2read.com/u/4jLk1Z

Paperback will be available soon!

So proud of my book baby reaching the number 3 spot on the featured page of the ENTIRE Amazon store when you search for "age gap romance"!! Apparently, I'm on Amazon's good side! Hope it can stay there a while!

BLURB:

RUNNING INTO TROUBLE is an age gap romance about a girl just starting life as a sous chef after college and the early 40’s, stubborn, but super sexy potter she runs into at the supermarket. After offering to help him cook dinner for his teenage daughter, they try to keep their distance but no matter how hard they try, they just can’t stay away from each other.

BLURB:
Daniel
When I run into Riley, who does not look old enough to buy the wine in her grocery cart without a fake ID, the only thing I should exchange with her is an apology. After I tell her about the gumbo dinner I’m sure to ruin, we end up exchanging phone numbers. And boy, am I glad to have the hot little sous chef in my contact list when my roux goes up in smoke.

Riley expected my call but I didn’t expect it to go so well. To be taken in by her and not want to let her go.

She’s half my age. Better off being friends with my eighteen-year-old daughter or out hiking with her college-age friends than dating me. Riley has her whole life ahead of her. Between my age, my college football injury, and my addiction to my pottery wheel, I’d only hold her back.

I have to let her go. Don’t I?

This is a steamy, 18+ read with a happily ever after!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT FREE, EXCLUSIVE CONTENT! (Link to sign up is at the bottom of this post!)

======================

MEET CUTE MONTHLY

If you've been in my reading group, already sub to my newsletter, or follow my blog, you have already seen a couple of these in my Monthly Updates. As a refresher, a meet cute is a single scene showing the moment our couple meets for the first time. Usually, in an unusual or sudden way. For example, they both grab for the last box of their favorite cereal and instead of either of them having to give it up, they go to the park and share it. SUPER CUTE, RIGHT?!

The heat level for these scenes will vary. (See the end of this post for how I will label the heat levels.)

Going forward, the Meet Cute Monthly will be sent exclusively to my newsletter subscribers on the third Monday of every month!

====================

SATURDAY MORNING SERIAL

This is the BIG ONE!

Starting October 17, 2020 I will be sending, exclusively to my newsletter subscribers, a chapter a week of a brand new story! These stories will contain steamy scenes, just like my published books. Each week, I will include a heat level rating to let you know what to expect. Keep in mind, if you opt not to read the higher heat level chapters, you may miss out on plot and character development. Though the sex scenes I write are open door, they are not without substance.

The Saturday Morning Serial goes out every Saturday morning, 8:00 am (Chicago time.)

Note: These stories will eventually be published to Amazon but you can get them first and completely free by signing up!

================

STILL INTERESTED?

If you've been with me a while, you might remember me talking about an age gap romance called Running Into Trouble. This will be the first Saturday Morning Serial!

Here's a little blurb: I'm trying so hard not to get involved with a woman half my age but when all she wants to do is help make my father-daughter dinner the best it can be, how can I say no?!

===================

TOO HOT TO HANDLE!

Look for the flaming hearts! I'll be using them to indicate the heat level of each chapter of the Saturday Morning Serial and the Meet Cute Monthly.

I think the easiest way to explain them is to use the baseball analogy. The bases do not directly relate to the number of flames but hopefully, it still makes sense. lol

1 flame = Up to bat. No physical contact beyond holding hands or face touching. Maybe a dirty thought or comment on physical appearance.

2 flames = First base. They've started kissing and are hinting at stealing second. Partial nudity, no touching.

3 flames = Second base. Touching has progressed to above the waist, maybe under the shirt but they still have their clothes on.

4 flames = Third base. They've moved below the waist. Probably in their underwear by now or are partially nude.

5 flames = Home run. Full nudity and/or intercourse/penetration.

===================================
