Title: Resonate (The Avalon Series, #1)
Author: Erin Wilkerson
Genre: Dystopian, Science Fiction, Young Adult
Release Date: May 1st, 2023

Sixteen year old Tamar Linsky has had enough!

After surviving twenty-two devastating quakes on an increasingly unstable Earth, she leaves the slow destruction of her world behind for an internship as far away from tragedy as she can get—humanity’s first lunar colony.

Lunar Base One is a high-tech research facility brimming with the brightest young minds from all over the world, but through it all, she will beat her peers and make a name for herself as a groundbreaking scientist. Even if a good-looking prankster threatens to distract her—knowing relationships are forbidden—bringing more secrets and drama than Tamar can bear.

Just when she thought she was getting a grip on the pressure, a geological catastrophe wipes out civilization back home.

Now cut off from the Earth she was desperate to escape, Tamar and her crew must find a way to survive on their own.

WIP Update With Fearsome Flies

Oh, look, I missed WIP Wednesday again. If I’m on time, I got there because I didn’t know what day it was. I will still apologize for being late because I’ll be assuming it’s the wrong day. Alas, today is genuinely Thursday, and I missed yesterday doing proofreading, so here is yesterday’s WIP.

I had plans of focusing only on JUMPER when May 1 hit. I had every intention of putting It Feels Like Home aside and working on only one thing, but I can’t seem to do that. I have plugged both projects into my Pacemaker Planner. The idea is to finish JUMPER by the end of this month and IFLH by the end of July. I’m a little off-kilter, though, because I’m at 5% of JUMPER and 21% of IFLH. That’s backward.

Lizzy is celebrating the release of her new book Alien Shadow Market! I can’t wait to dig into it!

Author: Lizzy Bequin
Title: Alien Shadow Market (Sold to the Raksha #3)
Genre: Sci-fi Romance, Alien Romance
Release Date: April 28, 2023

Savannah thought she had a problem with authority. Then she met the Raksha.

Four purple-skinned warriors with faces like demons and bodies like gods. They rescued her from captivity and gave her a place to stay aboard their ship. There’s just one condition.

She has to play by their rules.

And the Raksha play for keeps.

The stern captain runs his ship with an iron fist—and a leather riding crop. Any female who gets on his bad side will find herself bent over and disciplined while the crew looks on.

But Savannah’s punishment isn’t even the most shameful part. It’s the way her body begs for more, even as her lips beg for mercy.

And when the discipline is finally over, that’s when the sharing begins.

Alien Shadow Market is the third book in the Sold to the Raksha series. Each book in the series is a complete, self-contained romance, but together the books form an overarching saga. This story contains intense scenes and situations that might trigger some readers—please see the Author’s Note at the beginning of the book. No cheating, HEA guaranteed.

It Was Beautiful!

I don’t have much to update about WIPs this week since I spent most of the past week in The Bahamas. I haven’t worked on It Feels Like Home or JUMPER since my last update, although I intend to write today. So let me share photos of my trip with you here—a few more than I shared in my newsletter or Facebook for good measure. I hope you enjoy my travels and travails.

Firstly, I should explain that my husband was invited to take this trip through work. It was something he earned at work as a top performer. I was a plus one because my husband would lose an eye and a testicle if he suggested taking anyone else. It was basically all-inclusive and so very Gucci that I wanted to steal the cappuccino cups in my room, and if I weren’t Honest Ali, I might have. They were so very cute.

WIP Wednesday, Writing

A WIP without WIP TYPOs.

I am still trying to determine how I work on two projects without any major boo-boos, but I’ll take it. It’s like I’m suddenly touched by the gods with my ability to type, and I’d like to keep going with this trend, but alas, I’m about to head out on adventures.

What am I working on?

She’s open to learning about all cultures- the good, the bad, and the ugly. And of course the wonderful, the mysterious, and the magical. Does she learn about the world? Does she learn about herself? Does Pam learn ANYTHING at all? Come adventuring with her…

Celebrating Shantel Tessier’s new book The Sacrifice.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
Holy Cow!

Title: The Sacrifice
Author: Shantel Tessier
Genre: Dark College Romance
Release Date: April 7, 2023

HIS LADY

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college
for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret
society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with.
But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or
I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived

a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more

ruthless Lord that my family hated.

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a
debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before
the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.
Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more
determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me

choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just
pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate

sacrifice … and even that may not be enough.
