 Tuesday Teaser 

 Here’s a snippet from my current WIP, The Condemned. It’s part of my unedited first draft 

“Alright. Go ahead—take it.” He offered the fishing rod to her.

Iselyn looked at it for a moment. “Take it?”

He grunted. “Aye, ye’ve obviously got tae hold the rod if ye want tae learn.”

Pursing her lips, Iselyn knelt. She grabbed the rod with both hands and settled down beside him. She lifted it high, the hook dangling dangerously close to her face before she attempted to throw it back out. It landed on the edge of the water.

Gharrus cringed. “Careful now. Ye nearly got it caught in yer hair then. And ye need tae cast it out further than tha’! Ye won’t catch fish on the rocks any time soon.”

 The Condemned – a stand-alone Romantic Fantasy novel, perfect for readers who enjoy dark and gritty fantasy tales with romance and explicit steam 

 Sunday Shout-out to Terry Davis for her review of The Resurgence of Light (The Light of Darkness, book #3) 

 “The plot thickens, as they say.

Just when you think you’ve figured out whats going on, a new twist hits! Now a band of mercenaries has been added to the mix and entire villages of Demons are mysteriously dying… and the Priesthood is being blamed.

Catrin Russell’s third installment of this series doesn’t disappoint. The action remains fast paced. Characters go from official duties to sexual encounters -not always expected either- and back at the turn of the page. Better yet, these stories aren’t filled with smut simply to titalate. The sexual encounters add to understanding characters choices and actions and help define who they are. We are given glimpses into the many ways good or evil operates even in these most intimate moments. Even so, those scenes don’t overpower the stories playing out within the larger story.” – Terry Davis

 Sunday Shout-out to Carrie Weston for her review of The Redeemed, a prequel of The Light of Darkness

 “Wow what an epic fantasy full of wonderful descriptions.

The Haunted Shadows are a group of mercenaries and Edric is the youngest of all the recruits. He has accepted his life and it’s worth until he sees Raven the leader sneaking out and discovers his secret.

Loved this – highly recommend.” – Carrie Weston

 Tuesday Teaser 

 Here’s a snippet from my current WIP, The Condemned. It’s part of my unedited first draft 

Iselyn squirmed beneath him. “Please! They could help us!”

Gharrus bared his teeth. “No! By the Makers, lass, trust me on this!”

Tears shone in Iselyn’s eyes, but she continued to shift, trying to get loose.
Gharrus didn’t know what to do. Any word from her now, and the hunters would find them. As her mouth opened and a breath entered her lungs, he knew he had no choice. Desperate to keep her quiet, he leaned in.

“But, Gharrus—” was all Iselyn managed to say before his lips connected with hers.

 New Author Logo! 

 Like previously stated, I’ve done a bit more art lately for various reasons, but while doing so, I’ve worked on updating my logo. This is the final version, and I’m pretty pleased with the results 

 QOTD: Do you like author logos? 

 AOTD: I love them! I think a well-designed logo can say a lot about an author’s style 

 Sunday Shout-out to Tuari for his review of my Light of Darkness box set (books 1-3)

 “I asked my author friend to recommend a fantasy book to me after I’ve watched a Netflix series and wanted something with magic that wasn’t too far out crazy otherworldly. So she recommended this, her favourite fantasy author. And I’ll be damned but I have to say, she was spot on in choosing the perfect read for me. It’s a great series and I’ll continue with the others as well. Great story, I like the concept of magic, it’s pretty science-based and logical, which appeals, the consistency and that there are limits to it and development in the characters’ abilities to harness it.

The story is really good and the characters are all so distinct and there is a development in their personalities and relationships as well that I appreciate. Really great boxset.” – Tuari Eagleswing, Goodreads Reviewer
