Read Excerpts of All Four Novels Directly on My Site

21/6/2016

Do you love getting sneak peeks into novels, but hate downloading files?

​Then I've got something special for you:

​Excerpts of all four of my novels can now be read directly on my site, without downloading anything!

​Two of the excerpts are funny, and the other two are more eerie, ominous and poetic. Scroll down to see the descriptions of each book, and to get links to the free excerpts:


Catgirl Roommate


​
In this humor novel for cat lovers, straight-arrow college student Sam accepts the offer of free rent in exchange for taking care of Nyla, a woman with the ears, tail and mindset of a cat.

If you own and/or love cats, this is your chance to watch someone else experience the same feline foibles and misadventures you've probably endured... and you get to laugh at it, because this time, you aren't the one who has to clean it up.

​I don't have cover art for this one yet, but you can read the excerpt by clicking the button below:
​

Note: The excerpt links all open in a new tab, so you can click on them without losing your place on this blog post. 'Cause I like to make things easy for you. ;)

Heroic Lies

Picture

​In this dark twist on the superhero genre, Alexandra deceives an alien supervillain into abducting her instead of her closest friend.

For the supervillain, the abduction was supposed to be a routine crime to lure his superpowered nemesis into combat. Instead, he finds himself in a battle of wits with a playfully snarky, insightful reporter who wants to know why he's kidnapping humans... and she won't stop teasing him and getting herself captured until she finds out.

In the excerpt, you'll watch her cheerfully sarcastic snark barrage collide with his stoic, solemn facade, and get a taste of the mysteries that Alexandra will unravel as she digs to the core of a web of lies far crueler than her own.

My Fugitive

Picture

Amid the ruins of a destroyed building, a young woman finds a fresh corpse, a tightly-bound prisoner of war with a bloody knife beside his one free hand... and a deadly choice to make.


She knows this man is dangerous, and yet she’s drawn to him. He needs her help, and for a person who’s spent a lifetime defining herself by being strong for those who need her, that is enough.

Read the excerpt to witness their first meeting, the beginning of a journey that will end with either her saving him, or the fugitive taking her down with him.

Voice of a Silent Fugitive

Picture

After enduring months of torment as a prisoner of war, a young warrior is confronted by a strange rescuer: a stubborn, wary homeless woman.

​There’s an instant connection between them, but he can also sense her fear – and she’s right to be afraid.


The town is filled with his enemies, and he carries a hidden danger within himself. Hiding him could get her killed... and their slowly deepening relationship is calling both people's inner demons to the surface.

​Read the excerpt to get a glimpse into the silent warrior's mind as he waits for a rescue that he doesn't think will come, and resists his tormentors in the only way he can.

I'm happy to announce that the first round of editing on Catgirl Roommate is complete! :) If things go according to schedule, the final round of editing should be done within two months.

If you want to get a sneak peek into the novel, you can download a free excerpt by clicking the button below:

Click here to download the excerpt
As I get near the end of the writing and editing stage, now I have to consider what kind of cover I want. I've been thinking of various funny scenarios the cover could portray - I want something that shows Sam's and Nyla's personalities, while giving an at-a-glance peek into the comical chaos that the Sam's life has become.

I'll probably upload some concept art in the near future, so hopefully I'll be able to get your feedback on which cover you like best.

In the meantime, enjoy your free excerpt! And if you want to pre-order your copy of Catgirl Roommate at half price, you can do so by clicking the link below:

I have something special for you today: a free excerpt from my upcoming book, Catgirl Roommate!

​In this excerpt, you'll see the bizarre and hilarious first meeting between Sam, a responsible straight-arrow college student, and Nyla, a woman with the ears, tail and mind of a cat.

She's innocent, eccentric, and entirely opposed to wearing clothes. He's persnickety, shocked, and entirely freaked out.

An Excerpt from Heroic Lies

24/11/2015

“Promise you won’t tell anyone?”

When those dangerous words left her friend's mouth, Alexandra had no idea that they'd result in her telling a lie that could get her killed.

But with her childhood friend's life on the line, and a front-row seat to a battle between aliens within her reach, it was a chance she wasn't about to miss.

In fact, it was something she'd wanted for a long time.

Ever since the extraterrestrial superhero and his nemesis entered the scene, she'd suspected that hers weren't the only lies being told. Something is off about this otherworldly rivalry, and she's going to find out what.

Today, in an excerpt from Heroic Lies, a friend's perilous secret throws a mischievous reporter, an enigmatic alien villain, and a shapeshifting superhero into a room together.

Free Excerpt of Heroic Lies

Great news! I'm over a quarter of the way through the second round of editing of Heroic Lies, and I expect to be done by the end of December.

In the meantime, if you're curious about the novel and you want to read an excerpt while you wait for it to come out, you can now download a free sample by clicking the button below:
Click here to download the excerpt
In the next few months, I'll be adding a lot of new Heroic Lies-themed stuff to the site, including concept art, the book cover, and of course, the novel itself, as soon as it's ready.

I also plan to make character profiles for all three of my novels, complete with images and a chance for you to ask questions and get to know them better.

I'm excited about all the great stuff I'll be sharing with you. In fact, I'm ready to start sharing right now! You see, when I first sat down to write the first draft of Heroic Lies, I actually got stuck for a while because I had no idea what Zorei looked like. I knew all about his backstory and personality, but I wasn't sure how to describe his physical appearance.

So before I even started to write, I took some time to let my pencil and my imagination work their magic, and after some confusion and a few discarded drafts, Zorei was born. I haven't fully colored him in yet, but if you're as curious as I was to see what the antagonist of Heroic Lies looks like, here he is, in all his not-yet-colored-in glory:
