The Smashwords #EoYSale25 is going very well for me this year.

On Smash alone, I've seen more sales than across all platforms last month. Most of those 'sales' are free books, but enough have been discounted books that I'll have a decent payout come January, which is more than I usually manage in these sales.

Tomorrow I'll get back to promoting my stuff, because there's still most of a week left to the sale.

Tonight I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me, boosted my posts, or bought my books. It's made a huge difference.

Thank you.

G'morning all.

If you missed it, it's the Smashwords End of Year sale #EoYSale25

My first novella, Bound by his Oath is on sale for $1.49.

Bound is an enemies-to-lovers culture clash in a pseudo medieval world. It's loosely based on a popular historical romance trope:

There are many historical romance novels where the feisty heroine is forced into marriage with the alpha male hero. Eventually she learns to love and submit to her new lord, and they live happily every after. In a distant future, this story is playing out again -- with one minor difference.

#WordWeavers 10/12: Who is your most chaotic character?

Not really sure, chaotic isn't something I feel like I write very often. But if I had to pick one, I'd say Karen from The Last Lady of Lună probably comes across as the most chaotic. She isn't actually chaotic, but her logic and reasoning follow different paths than most folks so she can seem chaotic if you aren't familiar with her.

And since I mentioned her, you can read about Karen, her team, and the lady vampire they swear themselves to in The Last Lady of Lună.

25% off on Smashwords until Jan 1st.

The Price of Survival

Assaulted on two fronts and looking down the abyss of total extinction, the Pack Father will offer full surrender to the lesser of two evils. Forced to serve their conquerors and ground down in humiliation and desperation, can they afford to pay the price of survival?

Jess Mahler

Jess' weird fish-out-of-water life has left them with an enduring love/hate affair with common tropes. The relationship counselor recommended they break it off, but they just keep coming back to play with tropes (and fuck them up) some more. In between their tropic indulgences, they write queer fantasy with queer, aromantic, neurodivergent, and generally 'weird' characters, take care of their family, argue halakha, and try to do a bit of educational activism on the side.
