Seriously, Thanatos is a good guy. It’s not like he’s come to hurt anyone, just take them where they’re going. Look at that beautiful face. (on that beautiful cover by Natasha Snow!) So yeah, today is the release of the third book in my Lords of the Underworld series with W.M.Fawkes.

While this is technically the last book in the series, that’s because the next series of characters don’t (generally) fit into the underworld theme. Next up is Sons of Olympus, starting with Hermes, as he gets to know everyone’s favorite insufferable professor, Wilder Pratt in Wildfire.

Patron of Mercy is not only my favorite book in the series, but possibly my favorite thing I’ve ever had a hand in writing. I hope you love it as much as Waverly and I do!

Wanted: Trash Pirate

Hey, all!
It’s been a while because I’m terrible at blogging, but since we have the cover for this, and it’s coming out next month, I thought I’d give you a first look at the next Lords of the Underworld book.

Gorgeous cover art by Natasha Snow!

Lach has spent the last few thousand years counting only on himself. What he needed, he took. What he wanted, he won with charm. All except a god he turned his back on an age ago, when he had a different name and didn’t know what he was giving up.

Thanatos, god of merciful death, is one of the gentlest gods in the pantheon—easing the transition between life and death for billions of mortals. But he has faced eternity alone. After breaking his heart on the sharp words of a fisherman’s son, he hasn’t been able to connect with anyone.

Now, Lach is crashing back into Thanatos’s life, dragging him into an adventure that could save the world . . . or kill them both.

Patron of Mercy is a stand alone, second-chance romance between a trash pirate and the ancient god who loves him.

Coming July 18th!

For anyone rolling their eyes and wondering when the next Rowan Harbor book is coming, post to come tomorrow. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The Prince of Death Lives

My co-written book with the awesome W.M. Fawkes, Prince of Death, is out in the wild as of today!

You can get your copy on Amazon, for purchase or KU borrow.

We’re both pretty excited about sharing Lysandros and Theo with everyone…

…and just as excited about sharing what’s next in this universe: Prisoner of Shadows

As fans of Greek and Roman myth, Fawkes and I have always loved Prometheus, and thought he got a lousy deal after putting himself on the line to help humanity. So we’re going to give him a happier ending.

The Prince & the Professor

If you met me at GRL, you probably also met W. M. Fawkes, whom I introduced as artist, writer, and all around great friend. For some time now, Waverly and I have been working on something new. We’ve created a new universe together that’s a mix of mythology, fantasy, and of course, love: Lords of the Underworld. It’s a series of standalone urban fantasy romances.

It starts with Prince of Death on March 7th, 2019, beneath the streets of Washington, DC, with a lonely prince and a sad professor, neither of whom has any idea how much they need each other…

Gifted power over life and death, Lysandros has spent millennia in the underworld, listless and alone. The youngest child of Hades and Persephone, he’s been sheltered from the threats in the world above.

Theo Ward hasn’t been so lucky. After watching his mother wither away, he’d do almost anything to have her back. When a messenger appears at the Banneker College of Magic and offers the young professor a chance to save her, Theo can’t pass it up, even if it means going straight into the underworld and dragging her home. But Theo gets more than he bargained for when he crosses paths with the prince of Hades.

Set against the king of Olympus, they must shed their past burdens and learn to trust in each other, so they can face down a storm that threatens to wipe the nation’s capital off the map.
