Hello! How’s summer treating you? There has been some difficult weather to deal with, that’s certain. I’m off to see the Blue Jays this week. Hope the weather is seasonal. A nice 26 05 27 C would be perfect.
This week, the authors at Tuesday Tales are writing to the word prompt SCARLET. I’m continuing with my fantasy, The Bonds of Time.
Meg pocketed the syringe the nurse had intended for Sam and would dispose of it later. Astrid had arrived in time to prevent the local doctors from carrying out their invasive tests. She’d clouded their minds enough to convince them that it was a simple case of appendectomy. After planting the suggestion that she was allowed to perform surgery in this hospital and that her own O R staff would assist her, the staff rushed to secure an operating room for her. The surgery would take place in an hour. Given her attention to detail, Astrid would conjure up gauze pads drenched in scarlet blood and the remnants of a burst appendix to give proof to the lie while the real culprit would be removed and hidden by one of her staff until it could be explored in Sanctuary.
Sam yawned, no longer able to fight off the sleeping potion.
“I’ll just close my eyes for a minute until it’s time to go,” she slurred, and then fell into a deep slumber’
After Astrid finished, the nurses would interpret Sam’s sleep as the aftereffects of the anesthetic—not that she would administer any. It wouldn’t be necessary for cleansing Sam’s body of the toxins Galen had added to her soup. How he’d been able to get so close to them without any of the fairies sensing it was another mystery, one none of them could explain in their current state.
Thanks to Astrid’s preventative medicine, a series of vaccine against all human illnesses and antidotes to known magic toxins, Sam’s body had reacted to the poison faster than he’d expected, expelling a large portion of it quickly, and she’d been whisked out of danger before her body could succumb to the venom. With her heart still beating, Bryanna, Naomi, and Elaine, erecting a magical field around her, he’d been unable to pull her spirit from her body and deliver her to Rogan, no doubt the reason the demon-wizard had destroyed their earthly bodies the way he had. Sam would be fine, but for how long? And if Rogan was prepared to act openly like this, how long before he went after the others charged with protecting her until the transformation?
Meg paced the room. It was rare for one of her age and standing within the Council to be assigned to the field, but caring for the princess was a great honor. She yawned. She might be immortal, but in this form, she was vulnerable and without sleep…
Sometimes when the Past is unresolved… Danger follows. Secrets surface. Love becomes the only way out.

Rena Black – The Last Countess of Caerhaven Four governesses have already fled Caerhaven Keep, but disgraced Sophie Lane has nowhere else to go. Hired to care for a grieving earl’s silent daughter, Sophie discovers that the dead countess may not be the only secret haunting the crumbling house above the Cornish sea.
A Case of the Missing Prince is the second book in the Evie Chambers Mysteries series and available exclusively in this box set.
The case may be cold, but what if the prince isn’t? It’s up to Evie and Al to find him.
Crown Prince Stanislav Drulivic is missing. The thirty-five-year old heir to the Kingdom of Zobora, located in the Carpathian Mountains on the border of Poland and Slovakia, an area rich in mineral deposits, vanished four months ago on a hiking/mountain climbing trip to Alberta. There was a rockslide at his last known locale, and two climbers were killed while many others were injured, including four of his friends traveling with him, but no one has seen hide nor hair of the missing royal since that day.
People disappear for a number of reasons, but when the missing person is next in line for the throne, foul play can’t be ignored. The authorities claim they’ve recovered all the bodies, but if he walked away from the slide, where is he now? With the family offering a huge financial incentive for answers, the job seems to be right up Evie’s alley, but there’s a catch—there’s always a catch.
In order to get the job, she has to include two Zoborans on her team: Viktor Opole, a security guard, and Baron Petrov Bukowski, a close friend of the missing prince. There’s something about the two men that doesn’t sit well with her. Al Binette, the former Navy Seal and Parks Canada employee who saved her life on her last case and brought love back into it, agrees to join her and watch her back once more.
While this new case is filled with intrigue and contradictions, it’s a cold one that defies explanation and will take every ounce of the savvy detective’s reasoning and investigative skills to solve.
Accidents can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere, but how many times can Evie cheat death?
Grab this latest book in the series and enjoy it along with four other fantastic mysteries. A great way to spend your vacation! This e-book is available from many retalers including Apple, Kobo, and others, as well as all online Amazon stores.
Here we are again,still enjoying an overabundance of heat, but it’s better than snow. This week, the Tuesday Tales’ authors are writing to the prompt ANGRY. I’m continuing with The Bonds of Time, my fantasy.
“You’re right, sprite,” Meg answered, reverting to the pet name she’d given her years ago. “The Samantha Simms I know wouldn’t waste her time worrying about scars anyway.” She forced a laugh. “She would far prefer to concern herself with the mysteries of the past and the ruins of civilizations long gone.” Patting her free hand, her touch filled with pain-relieving magic, she continued. “I’ve called them, but cell service is erratic at best. I’ve left a message. At this time of day, they would be at the dig, but I’m sure they’ll call as soon as they can.”
When she’d contacted Garth at Keltoi Manor about Sam’s collapse and the subsequent accident, he’d told her about the guardian assigned to Sam’s human parents. The angel, as the humans called those of their kind, had been tortured, and his earthly body damaged beyond repair. Enoch was a good friend, and she couldn’t blame him for revealing secrets. Even an angel had his limits, and the magical torture used would’ve been excruciating. Once his spirit healed in Sanctuary, he would be given another body and a new assignment, but the torture inflicted on him would leave scars that would never disappear. As angry as she was about the attack, there was nothing she could do for her friend, and she had enough trouble of her own right now. Garth had sent one of the archangels, the fighters among her kind to watch her parents. It would take a master demon to destroy him.
She glanced at her charge, fighting the medication and trying to stay awake, and smiled.
“Now, close your eyes, sweetie, and let what the nurse has given you help you rest. You’ll need your strength before this is over.”
Samantha would be devastated when she learned that Bryanna, Naomi, and Elaine were gone. Since the princess knew nothing about the magic and mystery that surrounded her, Meg wouldn’t even be able to comfort her charge by telling her that they would return in time. The woman shrugged to ease the tight muscles in her neck and watched as the potion slowly took effect, not the drug that the nurse thought she’d given her but a remedy that would help her more than any sedative the humans had.
It had been many years since she’d used her abilities, but desperate times called for desperate actions. It had been a simple matter to use her abilities to exchange the syringe the nurse carried for one that would help. Sadly, she wasn’t one of the ophanim, the healers, like Astrid, and could only do so much.
Well, it’s still hotter than the hobs of hell here, but it beats the miserable cold we endured last winter. Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales. Our writing prompt is FEATHER. I’m continuing with my Fantasy, The Bonds of Time .Enjoy.
Margaret McCoy ignored the varied sounds of the hospital around her and glared at the tape on Samantha’s arm, the one that hid the needle piercing her skin to allow the liquid running down the clear tube to feed her body. The woman who appeared to be in her mid-fifties, had black hair, streaked with silver, green eyes that usually sparkled with energy, and a peaches and cream complexion that belied her age. She was short and stout, as were most of her kind when they were forced to manifest for long periods of time, a fondness for sugar and chocolate not helping matters.
She stared down at her charge, her face almost as pale as the sheet covering her. She brushed back a lock of dark auburn hair, her touch as light as a feather and sent more healing energy into Sam’s body. How could this have happened? For twenty-four years, in the guise of an aunt, she’d watched over the changeling princess, protected her and kept her hidden in the bosom of another land’s capital, far from home and what she’d thought were the dangers. She’d lived a solitary existence away from others of her kind, with only the three young fey aware of their true purpose. With the magical world’s future at stake as well as this one, it was a heavy responsibility, but now … She was certain that she hadn’t let down her guard, and yet, Rogan, the Merciless, had found her. How had he managed to attack her as he did? But the attack had failed and in his rage, he’d gone after the other three, the fairies who’d stood beside her all these years. That they were immortal and would return after time spent in Sanctuary wasn’t the issue, it was this place and the very real danger it represented. Astrid claimed to have it all in hand, but surgery…
“Aunt Meg.” Sam’s eyes drifted open. “Don’t feel so badly; it isn’t your fault that this happened. People get sick all the time.” Even in her agony, the young changeling sought to soothe her. “It’s not like I’m dying. The doctor thinks it’s a ruptured appendix, and Doctor Astrid agrees. In a little while, they’ll open me up, take it out, and I’ll be fine. In fact, I’ll be able to go home in a couple of days. The doctor even promised that I wouldn’t have much of a scar.”
Halo as Jerome would say. I’ve finished revising and editing The Homecoming and put the book on audio, thanks to Amazon’s virtual voices, the one form of AI for which I’m grateful. I hope to have the paperback ready soon. I know that many think it’s wrong to bypass voice actors, but in all honesty, I can’t afford the cost. This is the only way I can do it. Sadly, virtual voice isn’t available in the UK, at least not yet, and I’m not sure where else, but for those who can listen to the book, I hope you’ll enjoy it. I’m currently working on The Bonding, Book Three in the series and hope to have it out in e-Book soon.
Here’s the blurb for The Homecoming:
Marina Fraser continues her journey of self-discovery as she returns to her place of birth, the Isle of Lewis and Harris. Now that she’s accepted that her body contains two souls, her own, born of the land, and that of Merrow, daughter of the merking and born of the sea, she inches ever closer to fulfilling her destiny as the Chosen One. All she needs to do is find true love—something that has eluded her time and time again. At her lawyer’s urging, she takes a vacation on the way to the island, visiting London, Edinburgh, and Inverness, the cities Anna Frost mentioned when she delivered the news of her inheritance, news someone tried to prevent her from getting. An encounter at the airport in London serves as a reminder that the Dark Lord isn’t the only one after her. But she has another problem. Merrow is silent and the psychic abilities Marina was just beginning to appreciate start malfunctioning. How will she identify her enemies without the benefit of her ESP? She arrives on the island during a vicious storm. A gorgeous man meets her at the airport and takes her to Fraser Hall. He reminds her of her phantom lover, and she’s deeply attracted to him. At the Hall, she rescues a black kitten and has another surprise, a second man appears, one who attracts her as strongly as the first. Is one of these her true love? The one she has to choose? She must choose of her own freewill to fulfill the prophecy. This isn’t the homecoming she anticipated, and when someone leaves a threatening note, Marina realizes that Fraser Hall could well be the death of her. Jerome Morrison continues his search for his mystery woman, and heads home to the Isle of Lewis and Harris, determined to learn more about his adoption and speaking to the stones—that is if they’ll speak to him. Desperate to protect the stones and his future, he will do everything he can to find his mystery woman. Discovering that she is none other than Lady Fraser comes as a shock, especially when not only does she not recognize him, she doesn’t trust him. Convincing her to do so may be harder than he expects, especially when he has competition for her affections. Teine, the Dark Lord, grows stronger every day. With the vessel housing the daughter of the merking and he who should never have existed on their way to him and the Sacred Place, he awaits his liberation. This time, she will be his and no one, not even the gods can stop him.

Good morning. Happy Canada Day to all Canadians. In my corner of the country, we are under the heat dome now, too, so it’s time to choose between a spot in the shade, lots of water to drink, and the great outdoors or to cuddle up with a good book in a cool dark room, with air conditioning, a fan, or maybe both. However you chose to spend the day, have a great one!
Well, we are officially in the second half of the year. So far this year, I have a lot for which to be grateful. My vision is great, I’m walking without assistance, and I’m working, doing something I love. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
July 1 question – Is there anything you’d like to see changed, added, and/or rearranged about the book publishing industry?
Honestly, I don’t know. I know that as an Indie writer, one with limited funds, I’m at the mercy of independent platforms like Draft 2 Digital and Amazon to publish my books and distribute them. I’ve tried the traditional publishers, and things weren’t any better and perhaps even a lot worse, at least not for me.
My problem isn’t necessarily with the publishing industry but with the retailing industry. I’ve tried to get my paperbacks into book stores and it’s almost impossible–the chains have so many restrictions and complicated forms to fill out. As weel, the costs of becoming a supplier as well as a seller can be crippling. But that’s my problem.
I will say that were it not for Amazon, I wouldn’t be writing now. It is my primary publishing platform. Are they perfect? No, without them, I would have nothing.
Welcome to the last post for the month of June. This week, our authors are writing to the word prompt COMPLICATED. I’m continuing with my paranormal fantasy, The Bonds of Time.
“The Maker help us all,” breathed Lorna. “We aren’t ready! We haven’t found the consort. Alone, she won’t be strong enough to withstand your brother’s advances and trickery.” She sighed. “We expected too much of you, my love, relying on you to keep him in check while he was feeding on the evil surrounding him. You warned us not to be foolish and complacent, and yet we thought the less she knew about the path she must walk, the safer she would be. We’d expected a smooth ascension to the throne and now … Why must everything be so complicated?”
“Lorna,” Garth reached out to her and grasped one shoulder with his free hand. “We can’t give up. The Maker chose to hide the prince from us all for his own protection. When the time is right, he’ll reveal him. We can’t lose faith. Return to Sanctuary, inform the Council, while I return to Keltoi Manor, see to Lord William’s needs, and prepare him for her arrival. That sycophant Nathan Vickers, Lady Mary’s nephew, is still there. The man has a black soul. I’m convinced he’s up to something more than trying to get money out of the old man this time, maybe even fancies himself the heir although we both know that’s impossible. I’ll do my best to get rid of him before her arrival. I’ll contact you as soon as I hear from Meg and Astrid.”
He stretched and kissed her cheek. “I’ll be glad when I can shed this disguise and come home to you, my love. While it’s true that no one notices an old groom tending to the horses, this guise does have its limitations.”
“The Maker go with you, Garth. Watch your back; I don’t trust Lady Mary’s nephew. You’re right about the darkness within him. I’ll call the Council together this afternoon. We have no time to waste. Take care, husband. It’ll be good to have you with me once again.”
She looked around, and seeing no one, shimmered, and assumed the form of a sleek black cat.
Garth patted her head. “Aye, but you are lovely no matter in any form.”
He turned toward the road and walked off towards the manor house a few miles away. Once he was out of sight, the cat shimmered again and melted into the stone.
Good morning. One of the things I decided to do when I can is to spend more time on promotion, not just for myself, but for others who’ve helped me along my writing journey. I suck at tooting my own horn, but I’m happy to do so for others and enjoy helping out friends when I can.
This morning, I finished reading Mona Risk’s newest release, Her Cozy House. Mona and I have been part of several box sets from Chill Out Books and Tammy’s Dragonfly Publishing, and I’ve always been thrilled to see my name listed with hers and that of so many talented authors. Today, I’m spotlighting three of them, starting with Mona Risk.
Mona is a talented author with several book series to her credit. This one is the 20th book in her LOVE PLANS SERIES: A collection of stories centered on the Winston family, each featuring a Winston relative and/or taking place in a Winston Clinic. I’ve read many of the books in the series and enjoyed them all. This one was no exception. here’s the blurb. Grab your copy. It’ll brighten your day.
Friends to lovers. Romantic Comedy. Medical Romance by NYT and USA Bestselling author Mona Risk. He told her to grow up. Now she’s back—and he’s not ready to let go. Friends? Benefits? Or something real… he’ll fight for forever. Jessica was only eighteen when she fell for Niles Wolf—the dashing resident renting a room in her grandmother’s cozy house. But when her Nanna passed, Niles shattered the magic with two cutting words: Grow up. Six years later, Jessica isn’t the heartbroken girl he left behind. She’s a confident doctor with her own voice—and she’s not afraid to use it. “Your turn to mature, Niles. Friends? Friends with benefits? Or something real?” Niles wants the real thing with Jessica. But ghosts from his past—and the women who still haunt it—threaten their chance at something lasting. Can they rewrite their story, or will old wounds and lingering doubts pull them apart again?
Mimi Barbour, a fellow Canadian, helped me enormously by inviting me to join the Author’s Billboard a few years ago. Through her, I became involved in being part of box sets with Dani at Chill Out, and Tammy at Tammy’s Dragonfly Publishing. Mimi is a prolific writer with several series to her name. Again, seeing my name next to mimi’s in a published set is an incredible feeling!
Her latest release, Special Agent Nathaniel builds on a fantatic series. Here’s the blurb:
Agent Nathaniel’s Aunt Connie, now a retired police detective with a sassy attitude and a broken leg, brought him up to be principled, hardworking, and kind. All attributes that are often pushed to the limits as an undercover FBI agent working for the Minnesota governor’s office. His mandate is to join with ICE but be on the lookout for any law breaking activities displayed by federal law enforcement in their city. When Connie sees a young girl brutally taken into custody by these untrained men in uniform, she insists that Nathaniel has to help that poor girl any way he can.
Known today as a Tracker by her clients, Bella Rose considers herself a private investigator—one who seeks out those who have gone missing. Because she was trained in Quantico but left the bureau to go off on her own, she has abundant abilities that help in these investigations, and her successes escalate. When a beloved neighbor – the woman who takes care of Dirty Harry, her dead mother’s crazy, oversized grumpy cat – comes crying to her about the daughter of a friend who was picked up by ICE agents, Bella Rose finds herself agreeing to track the poor girl and bring her home.
When these two character’s cross paths, sparks fly, chaos follows, and both are tested to their breaking points.
Imagine at fifteen years old, lugging a bagful of groceries for neighbors too terrified to leave their homes & suddenly being surrounded by ICE agents. No matter how much you beg, they refuse to listen. There’s no one to help you… or is there?
I just downloaded my copy and can’t wait to read it!
My last shout-out today goes to another prolific author I ment through the Author’s Billboard and with whom I’ve shared a box set or more. Josie Riviera has written over 150 books romance novels, a truly amazing feet. She has several series to her credit. Her latest release, Hearts and Horsehoes, is the second book in her Montana Sweethearts collection.
For everyone who’s ever wondered if their heart has room to love again.
Grace Hallowell didn’t come back to Hallowell Heritage Ranch to stay. She came to say goodbye — to the land, to the memories, and to the life she and Mark had built before grief swallowed everything whole. One last chance to stop the bank from taking four generations of legacy. Then she’d leave it all behind for good.
What she didn’t count on was Cole Morrison.
Mark’s best friend had made a promise: Protect the ranch, protect Grace. He’d kept the first one. The second one is proving far more dangerous. Because somewhere between late-night calving sessions, mended fences, and shared grief, the line between keeping a promise and wanting her for himself has blurred past the point of reason.
A crumbling ranch. A promise he can’t break. And a woman he was never supposed to want.
Because loving someone new doesn’t mean forgetting the one you lost. Sometimes it means honoring them.
Finally, let me tickle your interest in two new box sets: Unforgettable Flirts and Love With a Single Dad
Six romances where love arrives late, loud, and wildly inconvenient.
A fake boyfriend at a wedding. A hockey fling that shouldn’t happen. A sabotaged island salon. A rescue mission gone delightfully off the rails. A stormy seaside inheritance with a captain who’s too tempting to ignore. And a kidnapped social worker in a nun’s habit who walks into a bar and turns everything upside down.
Filled with humor, heart, mystery, and irresistible chemistry, this collection brings you small‑town charm, romantic suspense, road‑trip chaos, and second‑chance magic—all in one binge‑worthy set. Featuring:
All My Loving Cynthia Cooke One wedding. One pretend boyfriend. One love that refuses to stay fake.
The Groupie Stephanie Queen A no-strings fling between intense, ambitious Rylee and easygoing hockey lover Zak turns into a complicated tangle of hidden identities, broken rules, and secrets neither can outrun. Their expiration-date romance was supposed to stay simple, but Zak is falling first, falling hard, and falling straight into trouble.
Della Denise Devine An ambitious hairstylist arrives on Enchanted Island to open her dream salon, only to face sabotage, small-town politics, and a distracting artist who may be exactly what her heart needs. Sunshine, scissors, scandal, and romance collide in this breezy island love story.
The Wizard of Odds Dani Haviland An oddball rescue mission sends insurance-company coworkers and a self-employed massage therapist on a wild road trip from Minnesota to Arizona to save exotic animals from a black-market gambler. Along the way, mismatched couples, desert danger, and a menagerie of second chances make falling in love almost as risky as the rescue itself.
Sea Breeze Susanne Matthews A guarded woman inherits a seaside resort and returns to the town where she was born, hoping to claim her freedom and uncover answers about her past. But a mysterious, blue-eyed boat captain with promises of his own may tempt her into risking her heart, especially when a storm threatens everything she’s just begun to build.
A Whole Lot of Loving Susan Jean Ricci A kidnapped social worker in a nun’s outfit walks into a bar. For a bartender still on parole, that should be the beginning of a very bad joke. Instead, it’s the start of a chase, a cover-up, and the kind of chemistry neither of them has time for. She needs protection. He needs to stay out of trouble. But trouble – and flirting – have other plans
Let the chaos—and the chemistry—begin.
Maybe he’s become an unintended guardian following the loss of a family member, or he’s facing parenthood alone, gaining custody through a divorce or the death of his significant other.
