Want to be IN one of my stories?!

Have you been missing Grim? The god of the dead has been missing YOU. Enjoy this personalized little love note story where YOU are the heroine and object of the Grim Reaper’s attention.

Want to party with Grim?

Everyone needs a little self insert story right? What are you waiting for Daddy Death is waiting!

You’ve been in a funk lately. So your friends convince you to not only go to Vegas for the weekend, but also to try and get into the Wolf Town club on a Friday night.

You’re not even sure you can get in the club, it’s super exclusive and you’ve only heard about the Las Vegas hotel owner enforcing that law.

Even a picture of Grim Scarapelli make your insides quake and a heat flush through your body. With his sexy dark hair, and tailored suits, he has a refined edge to what you imagine a much darker, primal, dangerous side. In the bathroom, you slide that perfect shade of lipstick across your lips that makes you feel like the incredible woman you are – even if your outfit feels like it’s painted on as a second skin.

You hate to admit to yourself that you really need this. A boost. Something to break up the hum drum that has settled into your skin like a gray malaise.

You used to be vibrant dammit! And tonight, you absolutely will be, again.

The line is ridiculously long of people wearing glitz, seven inch stilettos’, and desperation. You almost join the back of the line but one of your most extroverted friends has an in with Wolf Town bouncer and you follow your group.

You are plunged into the pulsating beat of the club, violet neon lights crawl over your body and the crowd thrumming to the beat. While you’re friends sidle up to the bar, you stay back a few steps. Normally, a club like this would overwhelm you, grate against your ears, nerves, and brain. But everything feels like velvet brushing against you. A deep grounding sensation starts in your belly and pulls you into the floor, making you stand taller.

A prickling on your skin has you look up. Balconies float overhead, where partiers likely get their bottle service. And you meet the familiar golden brown eyes you’ve only seen on a screen.

Even at this distance you feel on the edge of oblivion, as he stares you down. Sleeves rolled up, you see the tendons flex in his forearms as he grasps the railing, still staring at you with a dark hunger.

You blink and he’s gone. You realize you haven’t been breathing and bouts of cold and heat wash through your body in tumultuous waves. Maybe you imagined it. Maybe it’s not Grim…You turn to check on your friends and smash straight into the broad, muscled chest. A blend of dark amber and something spicy wraps around you. The man, no, Grim Scarapelli is so much more than a man, backs you up against a wall, before blocking you in with two powerful arms.

You want him to touch you so bad, your shaking. Then dips down so his hot breath strokes your ear as he says,

“Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna turn around and desert you.”

Enjoy the turkey and a FREE book!

This book is PEACHY 🍑

You may have heard me mention this before, but it’s important I make a big deal out of it. 

Especially now that the book One Bad Knight has been released. 

I wrote butt stuff in this one. Let’s refer to it as 🍑(peach) stuff  going forward as it has a classier ring to it.

Holly, Why? Why do you need to draw so much attention to this? You are being a bit crass.

Okay okay okay well here’s the deal. 

I got fussy when Seduced by Death came out and I got two/three chili peppers out of five (this is how we rate steam/spicy level of books now)

Because IMO that last book was hottttt 🔥🔥🔥

So I took it is a personal offense. 

Why didn’t I get more?? 

What do I got to do to earn another chili pepper? 

*light bulb*

omg, it’s 🍑 stuff isn’t it. I bet it is!!!

And thus, I made a goal for myself. Seeking out the 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ rating.

Having never written such scenes before (but certainly reading it) I became all about this social experiment to see what rating I would get for spice. 

Basically, you could say I’m like a scientist. *adjusts goggles and labcoat*

ANNNND I’m also my own cover designer, so at the behest of my author “friends” I made an alternate cover. One that glorifies this experiment.

***friends is in quotes because apparently the assignment was a joke and they kept telling me to stop d!cking around making a peach cover when I started to actually do it. RUDE***

What do you think?

Do I need to make a special edition with this peachy cover available?

Gatsby has Arrived

Gatsby has ARRIVED!

This is the spiciest book I’ve written – complete with some uh peach scenes if you get what I mean *wink wink winkity wink wink*

oh you don’t know?

It’s butt stuff. There I said it. 

I tried my hand at writing butt stuff. And mouth and uhhh…okay I’ll stop.

Now if for nothing else, you will have to read this book out of curiosity.

Am I above cheap theatrics? Absolutely not. 

Though this may actually be the most serious book I’ve penned, and the angst and the smut are *chefs kiss*

Ooooor you might want to read it for the extremely dark, cynical bad boy Gatsby who comes back with ALL the damage for his first love who he met when they were but children – giving us those dark Peter Pan vibes.

Swooooon. Gatsby is bad to the bone and here he is – a hot mess – squatting in an abandoned building, ready for trouble. Or rather ready to make trouble.

Need a little more to sink your teeth into before committing to this bad boy?

This is the spiciest book I’ve written yet! Let’s see if this wets your whistle 😏 

Prickles of danger raced up my spine, as I sensed the presence of someone taller and broader coming up from behind. I shivered. When I tried to turn toward him, strong hands grabbed my hips, keeping me facing forward.

He immediately set me into a rhythm that was half time to the music. Time slowed down, as a muscled wall met my bare back. I could feel the ridges of his warm pectorals, and the contact felt pornographic for such a public place.

Whereas my previous partner made eye contact, getting nonverbal consent to dance with me, this guy had come up from behind and encroached on my space. No matter how titillating I found this man, I had standards. I jerked away, ready to head to the other side of the bar and away from the dangerous entity at my back. But his fingers dug into my hips, pulling me back against him again. He didn’t want me facing him or walking away.

The combination of the rough movement and the intoxicating scent of sex pheromones and virile man rolled over me. Despite myself, my knees turned to jelly and liquid heat gathered at my center. Visions of what else his rough hands could do ran through my imagination.

I was so used to being treated like a porcelain doll; I almost welcomed his brazen moves. But I still didn’t submit to anyone, no matter how hot.

I tilted my head to the side, so he could hear me when I shouted. “You chased my date away.”

I could only catch the wicked curve of his lips, and another ripple raced down my spine, informing my brain how screwed I was. Because a lower portion of my body was now in charge.

The man aligned his mouth to the side of my head, so he didn’t have to shout. His hot breath fanned against my ear and my nipples instantly tightened. “You were dancing with me before I came over.”

“Who says I want to dance with you?” Even as I said the words, an achy heat spread between my legs, and I squeezed them together as if I could keep the sudden wetness at bay. The bass of the music traveled up my feet, past my legs, penetrating my lower belly, only making it worse.

“Who says we ever stopped?” His voice rumbled through the column of my neck.

The good, the bad, and the Book Shop

FIRST the hard news, and SECOND the fun news!

Last week, try as we might, our tough little house rabbit, Pancake, didn’t make it.

 My willful little bun is now over the rainbow bridge.

We worked very hard for over a month to get him help, he was gasping for breath, and I would rush to him with an oxygen machine all hours of the day and night.

 In the end, he crossed the rainbow bridge while we were still trying to get answers. Thankfully we’d at least reached a specialty vet who finally got us some answers. There was a deep underlying cause to why he couldn’t breathe and we likely couldn’t put our boy through that anyway.

We’ve spent our time grieving but the hardest part is seeing our sweet housebun, Ginger, who remains and continually looks for her husbun. Ugh, breaks my heart. We might have to get another furbaby before too long…

But it is by no means all deep sadness!!! 

I’m still in shock how Vegas Immortals is popping off, and I’m utterly thrilled how many people are amused by Vivien’s antics, are now swooning for Grim, or petitioning for their own reaper dog!

And I have a received a mass of DMs asking about how readers can get their hands on signed copies of my books.

Instead of fielding these one by one, which whoah nelly I’m not organized enough for that shiz lol

I've decided to open the shop again for a limited time!

But to everyone who messaged me condolences or congratulations over the last couple weeks, thank you so very much. I saw them all even if I wasn’t able to respond. 

My heart has spent a lot of time receiving all this love. And I’m so so very grateful.

 


P.S. are we still waiting on the audiobook for Seduced by Death???

GAH! YES!

I’m updating Audible every couple minutes for days now to see if the powers that be have approved it. 

You can bet your buns I’ll be jumping in your inbox to let you know when we are a GO!

One Bad Knight Cover Reveal

I’m not the hero.

I’m the bad son they send to do the dirty work when the demons come out.


My brothers save lives, but I ruin them.

I ruined hers, years ago.

I should stay away from her.

But something might be coming for the girl I left in pieces all those years ago, and I might not be able to stay away.

The question is what’s more dangerous than me?
And can I for once, not ruin someone?

Gatsby’s standalone book is coming Fall of 2022

Did you know that Gatsby was first introduced in book 1 of Prophecy Girl. He definitely didn’t come off as the greatest guy, and to this day he claims he is no hero.

He is the bad son.

He has done bad things.

And he has continually popped up through each book in the Five Orders series, and through One Savage Knight claiming he won’t help anyone and yet…. he seems to show up and play a part in fighting back the forces of darkness.

I’ve known since book 1, Prophecy Girl, the dark secrets of Gatsby’s life, that not even his fellow Chevalier brothers can guess.

But it’s time we rip back the curtains to see if he is truly irredeemable and evil as he thinks. 

I slaaayed like Buffy!

The book signing at Romanticonn in Connecticut was a total success!

Granted, I didn’t breath for the 2 days and morning leading up to it, terrified about selling books IRL, but once the flood gates were opened and readers started milling about I fell right into my element.

Meaning, the first girl I saw wore a shirt that said “Vampires are sexy AF.” 

So I pointed at her and yelled, “You, yes you, you belong over here. Come to meeeeee!”
