Blurb: Desiderata needed a drink. After a long day of dodging darts and heckling tourists from her balloon game booth on the Wildwood boardwalk, she just wanted to forget her looming housing angst for an hour. When heavy flirtation and a cocktail from a suave substitute bartender shakes up her evening, things are looking up.

Until, of course, she catches him making out with a hot college guy not five minutes later.

In an attempt to forget the sinfully sexy stranger from the night before, Desi agrees to a dinner date with the eyeful of tall, dark and handsome that shows up at her job the next day. There’s just one little catch: he’s apparently already dating the two guys from the bar.

For JD, a shift behind a Jersey shore dive bar was always the same: predictable, boring, a little bit sticky. So what was it about this gorgeous brunette that instantly had him on the rocks? One look at her brought out the beast in him - and a desperate hope that she might be what he and Penn need to save Will for good. After over a century of struggle, they were due for a win - and someone who really believed in them.

One night.

That’s all they’ll need to get Desi to agree to.

But it’s going to be one hell of a night.

Regret and Redemption: A Carnal Cryptids Short

Pairing: MF

Standalone: No / Series Supplement (HFN)

Style: Monster Romance / No Explicit Sexual Scenes

Content: This novella offers additional background / alternate POVs for the storyline between Jess and Dov. It does NOT contain explicit "spice," though adult language and sexual attraction are present.

Contains explicit content including but not limited to: violence, gun violence, discussion of PTSD and trauma, kidnapping, bondage, and magical murder.

(If any content notes are missing that you feel should have been included, please reach out!)

Blurb: When the door to her rental place comes crashing in, Jess is ready to fight back and protect her best friend Desi’s whereabouts at any cost. Betrayed by her own phone, she’s violently pulled into a world full of monsters and mayhem, forced to fight back with the sharpest weapon she has. When one of her attackers emerges as an unexpected ally, Jess is forced to confront not only the existence of mythical Concepts, but some decidedly human emotions too.

Dov has existed for years under the thumb of a man he both despises and depends on, forced to act against his own interests to stay alive. When he’s pushed to cross a line, he finds something unexpected on the other side a black-haired beauty with an attitude that could take out a tank. Now it’s up to him to make the break he’s been longing for, and hopefully some amends while he’s at it.

Carnal Cryptids: Regret and Redemption is a short / alternate POV tale intended to be read between Carnal Cryptids: East Coast and Carnal Cryptids 2: Southeast.

This story primarily focuses on enhancing events that have already occurred in Carnal Cryptids: East Coast, and offers additional insight and backstory that will lead into Carnal Cryptids 2: Southeast. While adult language is used and attraction is definitely present, this tale is just for a bit of backstory and thus does not contain spice (e.g. there’s no kissing, no beast-with-two-backs, etc.) - sorry! There will be LOTS in Carnal Cryptids 2, though, so try not to worry too much.

Blurb: With another summer on the Jersey shore coming to a close, Jess was more than ready to hang up her water park vest until next year. Still recovering from the shock of being kidnapped and nearly killed, she's barely had time to process the fact that monsters are real.

The impulsive offer to let her repentant abductor-turned-protector crash on her couch is going better than anticipated. So well, in fact, that inviting him along on her annual road trip is a surprisingly easy choice. But when old acquaintances, unresolved desires, and ancient impulses enter the mix, their straight shot down I-95 is suddenly full of dangerous curves.

A threat from the past in their rearview mirror.

Raw hunger, hot and heavy as a swamp.

Sharp, vicious smiles, sinuous as a river.

1400 miles to go.

Info Coming Soon!

***EPILOGUE - CONTAINS SPOILERS!***

It brought Riva no small amount of amusement to see Ellis, the largest of the trio and arguably the most brave, struggling not to look absolutely terrified at the hives. The hulking blue dragon man gave them a level of side-eye that would have made Pamela proud, but thankfully Rev and Knox were less suspicious of the faintly-humming boxes back beside Riva’s cottage on Rouset.

Riva herself, stripes of golden scales and all, got almost as many gawking onlookers as her dragon companions as they moved through town. Because Riva had abruptly cleansed the island’s gene pool with the assistance of the Grimoire of Anti-Gravity - and, of course, killed a startling number of people by opening a book - most people were smart enough to show her respect, save for the gawking. The one tavern drunk that didn’t get the memo got his eyebrows singed off by Rev - a small price to pay for abject stupidity in the face of dragons, honestly.

While Jasper had been reluctant to surrender Snow-in-Summer back to Riva (the fluffy feline traitor also seemed similarly attached), the consolation prize was too tempting for a young boy to pass up. With a fresh coat of paint and a new launching point upwind of the keep’s remains, the sacrifice ship had been transformed into the Rouset ferry service. It even boasted a brand new ship’s captain, seeing as the last had been lost to a well-deserved run-in with Riva-assisted gravity. Riva packed up her belongings and gifted her cottage to a wonderfully sassy young woman that would have almost surely been the next sacrifice. Once the secured hives and trunks had been carefully loaded onto the new ferry, Riva grabbed a seat near the front of the bow, Snow in her lap and Rev, Ellis, and Knox following overhead. Little Jasper, grinning ear-to-ear, got to act as the special assistant captain for the Liberation’s maiden voyage, and waved his arm tired at his proud family back on shore.

Once back on the dragons’ isle - unimaginatively called precisely that, her flight informed her - Rev had helped her relocate the hives to the flower-filled fields above the cliffs, just beside Rowe’s resting place. Once they were in place, all four of them had spent a quiet moment honoring the first sacrifice. Knox even built a bench beside the hives for Riva, which she’d enjoy on sunny afternoons, talking softly to Rowe’s memory about all the positive changes on the Free Isle.

Snow, delighted to have virtually endless places to sun herself, was absolutely spoiled rotten by Rev and Knox. The two took great delight in crafting exquisite cat toys of tiny blown-glass bubbles and tinkling golden coins, competing to see who could make her chase the noisy cluster of baubles the longest. While neither Snow or the ladies attacked one another, the alliance was an uneasy one, mostly centered around mealtime. Snow seemed to innately understand the scrambled eggs she enjoyed came from the flock, and the flock seemed to understand Snow was responsible for chasing off the persistent mice that tried to take up residence in the rock-nests. While Ellis was a little hesitant around the “small, delicate little creature,” he proved to be a quick study in the belly scritches Snow gleefully demanded of him. Pamela was often visibly jealous.

While Riva’s wings hadn’t manifested yet - the men told her it was a very slow, intricate process for Dragonlets - she was more than comfortable traveling by net, at this point. Ellis, Rev, and Knox all accompanied her on the next visit to the port city of Mapleton, which news of Rouset had already reached, thanks to the Liberation’s expanded ferry service. Daisy had, in the interim, started a Rousetian sweetleaf import business as a side-gig. She was happily working with Maribel - after Riva had made some introductions - to make edibles that sold briskly at market.

Phy had gone into labor a bit sooner than anticipated, human-hybrid children still being something of a gestational mystery for aquatic shifters. Thankfully, he and Maribel still welcomed a very hale and hearty little boy with his father’s fins and his mother’s penchant for mischief. When they’d asked Riva and her flight to be little Codu’s aunt and uncles, there was a great deal of happy crying, some of which had to be relocated to the living room pool because of the flammable nature of dragon tears.

Plucked is an MF paranormal romance between Jax, a grief demon (luctus) and Cara Pierce, a grieving human woman who has just lost her sister. This story is the first step into a planned world called the Moriverse, which will deal with death-centric myths, creatures, and plots.

Content considerations: Plucked opens at the funeral of the main character’s sibling (passed on from an unnamed terminal disease.) Death, end-of-life care, and grief / mourning are discussed throughout. This story will also incorporate kink, including praise, percussive (flogging) play, attempted sexual assault, murder - both previously alluded as well as on-page - unsanctioned corpse disposal, choking, implied servitude, implied financial fraud, and general skeeviness from a bad guy.

Into the Woods: A Monster Anthology

NOTE: THIS LIMITED EDITION ANTHOLOGY IS NOW OUT OF PRINT / NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

There's a path that runs straight through the village,

But it stops at the edge of the wood.

It halts at the borders between worlds,

For beyond, there lies nothing of good.

Hushed whispers all speak of what haunts there,

In the brack, in the depths of the fen -

The creatures both monstrous and gaunt there,

Not the village's hale, hearty men.

But cradled in claws in the shadows -

Something kindles like flickering fire -

As hammering heart howls to run,

Something deeper stills, caught by desire.

Seventeen paranormal romance authors gathered together to bring you tales of people following their heart's monstrous desires...directly into the deep, dark woods.

Authors: Salem Sinclair, Maeve Black, L.V. Lane, C. Rochelle, Sienna Varrone, A.R. Breck, Elizabeth Austin, Lillian Lark, Clio Evans, Kassandra Cross, Mallory Fox writing as Lea Jade, Helena Novak & Natalia Prim, Beatrix Hollow, Vera Valentine, YD La Mar, and Ashley Bennett.
