Hello, everyone! Just popping in to let everyone know that my good friend Jaye L. Knight, writing under the pen name Jaye Elliot, has released another Christian contemporary romance!

I read this book in a single night, and I don’t normally read contemporary. But this one was that good! If you like Christian fiction (especially if you like clean contemporary romance), then you won’t want to miss this one!

About the book:

Katie has spent the last decade doing everything in her power to avoid contact with her immediate family. However, attending her beloved grandma’s funeral leaves her no choice but to confront both the trauma of the past as well as a future she doesn’t know how she’ll face without her grandma’s love and support. What she doesn’t expect is to run into her childhood best friend, one of the few people who has ever made her feel truly safe.

Fifteen years ago, Ethan had to watch his best friend leave, taking a chunk of his heart with her. Now that Katie is back in town, he is determined to do everything he can to help her, especially when it comes to protecting her from her family. As they make up for lost time, Ethan finds his long-held feelings for Katie quick to resurface. The problem is, she already has a boyfriend, and the last thing he wants is to ruin the friendship that means so much to both of them.

As Katie’s family becomes more insistent that she sell the lake cottage her grandma left her and split the estate, feelings also grow more complicated between her and Ethan. With the uncertainty and threats mounting, can they learn to let go and trust God’s guidance and protection?

Trigger Warning: Contains references to and discussions of past child abuse.

As for my books, I’m hoping to have an update on Beyond the Tales Book Four in the next few months!

I realized I haven’t posted on this blog in a while, and most of my recent updates have been sent only to my newsletter. So it is time I posted a few updates here.

The Blades of Acktar

The Blades of Acktar is officially a completed series. A few years ago, I announced that there would be a books 6 & 7. In the past few years, I’ve tried to write book 6. And…it wasn’t working. It was flat. The characters had no growth. And I realized that it was time to let these characters go and leave the happy ending of Decree as it is.

I know this is disappointing, but I’d rather leave the series as it is than write books that aren’t worthy sequels to it.

So right now, there will be no more The Blades of Acktar books. The series is finished.

Since it is now a completed series, I’ve released an ebook boxed set of the whole series. If you prefer reading as a boxed set, it is now available on Amazon on Kindle and in Kindle Unlimited.

Another fun update on the series is that it is now available in hardcover! I designed these hardcovers myself, going for a classic hardcover look, and I really love how they turned out! They are a case laminate only (no dust jacket).

Beyond the Tales

I’ve also designed hardcovers for Beyond the Tales as well! Once again, I went for a more classic hardcover look for these. Like the Blades hardcovers, they are case laminate only (no dust jacket).

And, yes, I know I REALLY need to write Beyond the Tales #4 and finally complete this series and Alex’s romance. Keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to find time between other projects so that I can finally declare this series finished as well.

Etsy Shop

For those of you who don’t know, I have an Etsy shop that sells Blades of Acktar fandom t-shirts and mugs.

I just updated the shop with signed copies of both paperbacks and the new hardcovers of all of my books. Due to the difficulties of getting more books around Christmas time, I put the books up now so that everyone can get their shopping in before things get too crazy for me to buy more copies.

I have also created a permanent promo code for the shop. Buy 5 items (any 5 items in the shop, including mugs, clothing, and signed books), use promo code SAVE15, and get a 15% off discount.

Book prices

Ingram Spark (one of the two companies I use to print my book) just announced a change that will mean my book prices will have to go up (sadly). This will effect prices on the books anywhere but on Amazon. The prices on Amazon should stay the same. I’m hoping it won’t have to go up too much, but I’ll see once I start updating them.

That’s all the updates I have! Thanks for sticking with my blog and my books, even though there hasn’t been a release in a while. The reasons for that is that I’ve become a full time author…under a pen name and writing general market fantasy (contact me or PM me if you want to know what that pen name is). Since the books I’m publishing under that pen name are what pays the bills, those are the books that get written first. I’m also really enjoying writing those books and bringing light to a dark world in a different way than I did with Blades or Beyond the Tales.

I’m hopeful that I’ll someday find some time to write another book for all of you again. I’m not sure when it will be or how long of a wait it will be. But, Lord willing, someday.

Today I have a cover reveal for an author friend, E.E. Rawls!

Book Blurb:

Teenage Madnes Hatter wants more to life than what his island hometown has to offer—and he definitely doesn’t want a boring future in hat-making, like his parents. But he sure doesn’t expect a well-dressed cat named Cheshire to suddenly pop into his life and make everything worse—giving him the power of the Madness Solver and making him the guardian and peacekeeper between Wonderland and Earth.

What the heck? When he said he wanted more to life, this wasn’t what he meant! Now, he’s the only one who can see Wonderland creatures as they walk the streets, and when there’s trouble, it’s his job to solve it. His friends, Alice and Harrey, think he’s going crazy.

But when a problem arises with the portals linking Wonderland to Earth, an old mystery is brought to light—the case of the death of the previous Madness Solver. Will Madnes meet the same fate, with the guardian power sapping away at his life? Wonderland’s ruler, the Red King, has cast a dangerous spell, and an ancient evil is rising. Madnes may not have long to save his friends and both worlds before it’s too late…

I’m late on posting this, but Angela R. Watts has revealed the cover for her upcoming Christian fantasy Golgotha!

Four unlikely companions must band together to escape the Realm of Bones and save their kingdom from a reign of darkness.

Prince Moray will lead his empire to glory, even if it means dabbling with forbidden black magic. But when their parents are murdered, Moray and his brother, Finnigan, are cast into Golgotha—a realm where hope is dead. Finnigan fiercely believes his god, Elohai, will rescue them, but Moray will never trust again.

Princess Ama, promised in marriage to Moray to ensure her clan’s safety from rival tribes, arrives just before a coup and becomes trapped in Golgotha with the smart-mouthed mercenary, Gunnar. Surrounded by strange monsters and ravenous demons, Ama must fight to hold on to her faith—or lose everything.

Despite Ama’s Gift of prophetic dreams, Finnigan’s Gift of energy, Moray’s magic, and Gunnar’s blades, nothing can rescue them from themselves. If they fail to escape, darkness will devour the entire kingdom.

Shadow and Bone meets Mark of the Raven in this epic for fans of faith-based young adult fantasy.
