Memorial Day sale
Now is the time to try Vesta’s Clockwork Companions! It is on sale for 99cents for the Memorial Day holiday at Amazon!
Here’s the synopsis:
VESTA’S CLOCKWORK COMPANIONS
Gears, Cogs, and Puppy Dogs, Book 1)
Synopsis:
When Vesta Bartlett, a wealthy alchemist and inventor, arrives in England to finalize an arranged marriage and help overhaul a family friend’s outdated ironworks, she never expects to find the family so secretive, nor to develop feelings for her fiancé’s younger brother, Henry.
But the growing attraction between Vesta and Henry is just the beginning of their troubles. Things really heat up when they’re drawn into a secret project for Queen Victoria’s military, one that requires Vesta’s knowledge of clockwork and Henry’s iron.
An epidemic has wiped out all the dogs in Britain, and beyond. If the military fail in their effort to restore the species, a clockwork creation may be all that stands in the way of a world without canine companionship.
Are Vesta and Henry up to the challenge?

Book prices going up soon
Hi, everyone,
I hope you’re having a good day so far. I woke up to some irritating news.
Amazon will be raising printing costs soon, so the prices of my paperback books will be rising–after June 20, 2023. If you want to snag some at the old prices. I’ll keep a few lower for the next week. Those whose prices have to be adjusted will be:
Romance (historical and fantasy romance respectively)
Watchmaker’s Heart (A light, fun Victorian steampunk #romance with a spunky heroine!)
Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter
and for you urban fantasy/UF Romance lovers:
and The Artist’s Inheritance will also be rising.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Simply, Big Business. The printers have raised their prices and unfortunately, Amazon passes that off to me, in the form of… cutting my royalties. As the printing rate hike cuts into my royalties, I have to raise the price to, you know, not make $0 every time y’all want a paperback. If you’ve bought books from any other marketplace lately, you’ll likely have noticed this.
From what I’ve been reading, Amazon is one of the last hold-outs as far as raising their prices go.* I don’t often say this, but good for Amazon!
Right?
I suppose it had to happen. Like you, I had hoped things would finally go back to normal, post pandemic, but like you, I’m still waiting for that fabled day.
Anyway, I hope you’ll find something you like, here. And, meanwhile, if you’re an ebook reader, those prices are staying the same (except for the occasional sale, of course).
(*Things are looking a bit crazy over there, anyway. If you noticed my post from three days ago, two of my paperbacks were going for less than $5; today Amazon’s got them priced at $7.27 and $7.91 respectively. Weird! Still a bargain since their normal list price is $11.99 and $12.99, FYI, but still.)
Now for a bit of good news. I’m back to writing! I’ve only just started a new manuscript, so it may be sometime before I have more news to share on that front. Since Christmas, I’ve been starting and abandoning several projects (hence, why I haven’t even made a Youtube video lately), but I feel confident this one is finally going to stick, as it were. We shall see. Stay tuned and hopefully, I’ll have something new to share with you all by or even before Fall. (Ye gods, how is it May, already???)
In the meantime, thanks for reading! I hope you are doing well, and find something there you’ll love, and don’t forget to leave a review, if you do.
best magical witches–er, wishes,

Paperback sale thanks Amazon.
Hey all,
I noticed there seems to be a mysterious sale going on several of my paperbacks. Miss Camden Kissed the Duke and Druid Defiance are now $3.98 and 3.68 respectively. Murder Upon a Midnight Clear is $4.99. Snag them now before Amazon realizes its mistake!
Miss Camden Kissed the Duke:
Fresh on the heels of romantic heartbreak, Isabelle Camden’s spirits are lifted when she befriends a mischievous hoyden who also happens to be the sister of an irascible duke.
Although Isabelle takes the young girl under her wing, an unexpected dare sets propriety at naught…and sends her into the duke’s arms.
It is the third in the series, but can stand alone.
As Steward, Stacy travels to her ancestral home in Ireland to wed. When she is granted access to the family’s sacred site, her presence opens a magical portal that brings her into a new version of the world. Does this mean the gods approve and her wedding can move forward or will the evil Balor object and end the world once and for all?
‘Tis the season … for death.
Murder reminds Detective Helene Collias of Holly PD that crime doesn’t have any Christmas Spirit. And the last victim she ever expected to find in her case files this holiday season is the sister of her old flame, Sean Grant. Ordinarily, Helene’s psychic gifts give her an edge but this time, that gift has short-circuited. Could her lingering attraction to Sean be blurring her abilities, or is something more sinister at work?

Wow. Update
It’s March? How?? And how is it that I haven’t checked in since the release of Clockwork and Courtship?
Well, I’ll tell you. I’ve been busy editing and writing. Shocked, aren’t you? Unfortunately, I ended up hurting my shoulder, too. So sitting down to write–or blog–on my normal schedule hasn’t been in the cards. Luckily, the editing wasn’t as intensive as it had been before the injury. Even now, I’m suffering a bit, so I’ll keep this short. Just wanted to say hi, and let you all know, no. I’ve not gone anywhere. I’m still here, writing as I can. I’d hoped to be back to normal by this week, but I just tried a normal writing session and then this post, and … ouch! So, I guess I’m not yet up to Nanowrimo standards, yet. In the meantime, I’ve spent a lot of the time reading or listening to audiobooks, and youtube, to be honest.
Favorite youtubers? Oh, a few. I’m currently listening to a podcast by Bethany Atazadeh. Also, Emma Bennet, and Alyssa Matesic. And lots and lots (and lots!) of Taylor Swift. 😀
On the reading side, I’ve read almost all the Wizard of Oz books, 🙂 and finished Suzanne G. Rogers’ latest, The Glass Heart. (Which took me much longer to get to than I expected, but I enjoyed as much as all her historical romances).
Until we speak again (hopefully soon!) have a good one and enjoy the books! And if you’ve read Clockwork and Courtship, (or any of the books in the series) please remember to leave a review. It’s greatly appreciated!
