After embracing her first romantic liaison with a mysterious stranger, she is left with far more than a confusing introduction to love. She is now a Beguiler, a “blood thirster” with exciting new abilities and a deeper lust for life. But her condition comes with a steep price. For the Beguiler lures its victims by forcing Emma to appear to them as the lost loves they desire most. Can Emma ever be seen as she truly is? Or is she doomed to survive only by being what others want her to be?

From her cunning role as a frontier town madam to her flawed redemption as a preacher’s wife, to her passionate yet tragic life among a fringe clan of the Lakota, Emma’s quest to find love is a distinctly American twist on vampire lore you won’t soon forget.

I am always up and willing to support fellow authors. The Lost Daughters Trilogy is a brand-new, never-released, Asian fantasy trilogy featured first on Kickstarter. Each book stars a different princess of the Jinu Kingdom, betrayed and thrown out by her very own father, the king of Jinu, just because she wasn’t born a son. But what happens when a son is finally born and becomes the king’s biggest nightmare?

This campaign features a stunning deluxe edition omnibus with all the trimmings!

The rules of China dictate that sons reign supreme…

The Forgotten Daughter

Born a daughter into the kingdom of Jinu, Xiuying knows nothing but rejection and betrayal, even as a young child.

She is left forgotten and raised by maids while her parents, disgraced by her gender, tells the rest of the kingdom that she’s dead, when the only thing she wants is love.

And eventually, her father and king, Qianfan, sends her away to an abandoned island… to die.

However, disappointment ensues when Qianfan realizes that Jinhai is nothing like him.

That he’s weak, emotional, and unfit to be a king.

A shame to the family name.

The only way for Jinhai to prevent his father from destroying the kingdom with his conniving mother is to fight and take down the king for good.

But he’ll need the help of his sisters.

With their combined powers and fury, are the siblings strong enough to take down the monster who made their lives a living hell? Or will the dictator of Jinu continue to reign supreme and destroy anyone else who comes in his way?

Cynosura 99 (The Altered Planes #1)
Publication Date: October 9, 2023
Genre: Dark Fantasy w/ Sci-Fi Horror Elements

“The night the moon bleeds is the night the world will end. There’s death in the moon. And the moon is you.”
Atra Hart has spent the last seven years locked away in Vanishing Plains Psychiatric Hospital. In that time, her shadow has transformed into its own entity and is growing stronger by the day, threatening to devour her mind. She calls that shadow Dread, and only her missing father knows what it is.
When a fire breaks out at the asylum, Atra makes her way to freedom just in time to see an electric-purple rift sunder the sky. Like Dread, the rift is only visible to her.
Atra’s already loose grip on reality unravels when she learns the rift is a gateway to the world of the dead. And the Queen, an ancient evil lurking on its fringes, wants Dread for her own.
Even worse, Atra can’t tell if any of this is really happening. She might have escaped one asylum, but the closer she gets to unearthing answers about Dread, why her father knows it’s there, and its role in the Queen’s plans, the more she risks getting trapped inside her own mind forever.
Maybe some truths are meant to stay buried.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sam was named after a dog, a fact her mother disputes to this day.

While she’s terrible at writing “About Me’s “, she’s been told she’s great at writing about what fictional people do. The more miserable she can make them, the better. Her love of horror films from the 80s, sci-fi shows from the 90s, and alternative music from the 00s have inspired her to write what she’s calling “Dark Science Fantasy” although she’s kind of making that up as she goes along.

When she’s not ready to pull her hair out after discovering another plot hole she’s created, she goes camping with her husband as far away from society as possible. So far, this tactic has been mostly successful, and she’s only had to physically converse with a grand total of nine people this year. Next year, she hopes to get that number down to six.

Life is tough when you’re an eldritch abomination.

Trillin isn’t technically a person. She’s a tiny breakaway piece of consciousness from the all-devouring Endless, doomed to eventually rejoin it. But when a human witch stumbles into her world, Trillin suddenly has a new reason to figure out individuality–one shape-shifting tentacle at a time.

Sian is sure important magical discoveries are just around the corner if she can just get her portals to work reliably. Reaching the dimension of the Endless without being eaten on sight is a dream come true, and Sian is determined to explore every bit of it. For science, of course, not for the strangely adorable life-form who keeps popping up and trying to… flirt?

But Trillin’s world can be a dangerous place, and keeping Sian safe might risk drawing the attention of the Endless itself–which will swallow Trillin up along with all her dreams of humanity. Together, can this unlikely duo escape the Endless, figure out the optimum number of appendages, and maybe even find love?
