Life Update as of Lately 😢

To all my readers and followers I want to be transparent with you all let you all know that I’ve not been doing well. I recently lost a family member and it has been really hard to deal with. I don’t deal with death very easily. Ive been trying to stay busy and pretend like nothing happened but it’s painful each day. I want to apologize to my book blitz teams that I work with for some of my late posts, I try to always post the following day. I don’t know …and now the holidays are coming up and my heart is not in it this year. So if I’m a little late with a post my apologies it’s definitely not done on purpose. I’m hoping soon I’ll start to feel better. 💜 Thank you

Date Published: 10-13-2026

Publisher: Atmosphere Press

While out for his walk old Mr. Mcbain finds two small pups on the side
of the road. He scoops up the two abandoned and dirty pups in two small cups.
The pups in cups are bathed and fed at the local shelter. Happy, clean and
well fed the two pups are in for a surprise when Mcbain brings his neighbor
Mary to see them. Read about their happy ending from a tough beginning in this
seventh PupTale adventure.

Excerpt
One day while out walking, old Mr. McBain,
Spotted a box on the side of the lane.
Brown with a cover and ten inches square,
He took off the lid with very great care.
Out popped two heads that gave a big yelp,
Two filthy pups who needed some help.
Their coats were all matted ,their puppy eyes sad,
They were thin as a rail, smelled like fish that went bad.
McBain couldn’t leave them of that he was sure,
They needed to go somewhere safe and secure.
He looked all around, spotted two paper cups,
They looked about right to hold the small pups.
He lifted them up, put each of them in,
A perfect pup fit because they were thin.
He carried the cups down to the dog pound,
A much better place then where they were found.
The puppies were bathed and rinsed more than twice,
Combed and brushed out , they even smelled nice.
The two little pups looked so much the same,
To tell them apart each needed a name.
“What shall we call you,” said pound worker Pat,
Cinder and Rella, maybe Kit and Kit Kat?”
The pups had a thought when it came to their name,
How about Mr. and Mrs. McBain?
Pat looked at the pups and as if reading their minds,
Said “I think we should honor the man that was kind.
You’re a boy and a girl yet look quite the same,
The name that works best is the puppies McBain.
The pups grew tired after having been fed,
So Pat tucked them away in a warm comfy bed.
Happy they weren’t still out on their own,
They dreamed of life in a new doggie home.

#blogtour Orianas Stallions by Silvia Violet

Oriana, Book 4

Sci-Fi Futuristic Offworld Romance

Date Published: November 13, 2026

Publisher: Changeling Press

Raya is what Orianians refer to as a techno snob. She thrives on her
fast-paced urban life on New Earth. At least she did until she met Calder
Brinkley, a horse shifter and regional governor on Oriana.

Calder likes wide-open spaces, the fresh air of early morning, and turning off
technology in favor of face-to-face conversation. He also likes Raya. He likes
her so much he’s willing to alter some of what he enjoys about his low-tech
planet.

Can Calder convince her that being together is more important than either of
them having their way, or will her stubbornness keep them forever apart?


Oriana’s Stallions includes the previously released novellas Stallion’s
Gambit, Stallion’s Summer, and Stallion’s Accord.


Excerpt from Stallion’s Gambit

Copyright ©2026 Silvia Violet

 

Calder Brinkley ignored the rain pelting down on him. He eased closer to the
glass doors that opened onto his guest’s balcony. Raya had left them open, and
the sheer curtains fluttered in the breeze. The moonless night allowed him to
stand less than a yard from her threshold without being detected.


He’d arrived home well after the household had retired for the night,
but his curiosity had gotten the better of him. Raya Varvara had intrigued him
on both a physical and intellectual level during their comm link
conversations. He wanted to know if she presented as attractive a package in
person as she had on screen.


He took another step. When his shoulder was inches from the door, he
leaned forward and looked in. Raya walked out of the en suite bathroom, and he
sucked in his breath. She was naked, and even more delicious than he’d
imagined. Her dark chin-length hair was tucked neatly behind her ears. Her
skin was creamy and smooth, contrasting beautifully with her large coral
nipples.


He longed to palm her small breasts and flick his tongue across her
flesh, watching her nipples peak. She was slender, but not lacking in curves.
He visualized himself gripping her waist and pulling her hips back against him
as he fucked her from behind.


Her pussy was shaved bare. He could see her clit peeking from the deep
cleft. His balls ached at the sight, and he had to reach down and tug his
pants to make room for his expanding cock.


He smiled. He would have her before she left. A week would elapse before
a transport arrived that could take her back to New Earth. Plenty of time to
seduce her and introduce her to the various ways he could curb her sharp
tongue and loosen her stiff manners.


A rich, earthy scent floated out through the doors. Calder inhaled
deeply. He could have guessed Raya wouldn’t go for flowery shower gels. She’d
used the soap his servants placed in the showers for male guests. It mixed
perfectly with her natural scent.


He cursed silently when she picked up a robe. The gauzy black garment
could hardly be considered a covering, but he’d hoped to watch her prance
around nude. She picked up a small comm unit from her nightstand and punched
at the buttons.


“Fuck!” The expletive carried easily onto the balcony. Calder pressed
his lips together to keep from laughing. He imagined what his uptight servants
or, God forbid, one of his other guests would think to hear a woman use such a
word.


Raya punched at the buttons again, making a low growl that sent heat
straight to his cock. “Fucking backwater planet. Can’t even get a decent
connection!”


Calder bristled. Techno-snob! Wait until he got his huge dick in her.
Then she’d learn there were satisfying things on this planet that she’d never
find back home. Who wanted to be tied to a comm unit twenty-four hours a day
anyway? New Earth was all concrete and steel and whizzing traffic. Oriana’s
untamed wilderness called to his very soul.

#blogtour One Fall Day by Rachel Matthews

 

Big-city critique meets small-town charm

—and it’s love at
first bite.

One Fall Day

River Valley Seasons Book 1

by Rachel Matthews

Genre: Slow-Burn Contemporary Small Town Romance

Manhattan food critic Valentina Aragon knows a good meal
when she tastes it, and she never expected small-town River Valley to fall onto
her plate. Her mentor insists it’s a working retreat to recharge her
creativity. But between the chilly days and the warmest people she’s ever met,
the town starts to feel less like a temporary stay and more like home. Too bad
the one man she clashes with is the one who knows this town best.

Brandon Scott doesn’t need love cluttering a life already full. But the inn’s
newest guest is impossible to ignore, even after he puts his foot in his mouth
when she first arrives. When an opportunity to make things right lands in his
lap, he takes it…and keeps taking it, one fall day at a time.

Acquaintances become friends, friends become something more, and when a figure
from Brandon’s past threatens the future he never saw coming, the whole town
rallies to protect what matters most.

Cozy comforts inside: slow-burn sweetness, community heart, and a fall romance
you’ll want to curl up with.

#blogtour Peanut Butter and Donner by Erin Rosenblum

 

Children’s Picture Book

Date Published: November 19, 2026

Peanut Butter the bunny isn’t sure he’s brave.

So when a magical wishing tree opens the door to a glowing forest, he must
decide whether to follow his friends—Donner the parakeet and Annie the
duck—into the unknown… or stay safely behind.

As Peanut Butter steps into the forest, everything feels new, exciting, and a
little bit scary. With wobbly paws and a worried heart, he wonders if he made
the right choice. But along the way, he meets a surprising new friend, Earl,
and begins to discover something important: bravery doesn’t mean feeling
fearless—it means taking small, steady steps forward, even when you feel
unsure.

With gentle encouragement, teamwork, and moments of humor, Peanut Butter
learns that courage can grow in quiet ways—and that being brave looks
different for everyone.

Perfect for children ages 3–8, Peanut Butter and Donner: The Wishing
Tree is a warm and reassuring story that helps young readers explore big
feelings, face fears, and build confidence—one small step at a time.

even when your knees feel a little wobbly.

 San Francisco, 1967. The Summer of Love promises radical freedom—but for

to escape her conventional family, Juliette shocks her parents by announcing
her engagement to David, a long-haired free spirit. When her father,

roll, independence carries a steep price. As David drifts into a haze of drugs
and broken promises, Juliette’s bohemian dream shatters. Back home, her
flight reopens old wounds. Her fiercely protective mother, Lorna, must help
Tristan confront the shadows of his past as they desperately try to pull their
daughter back from the edge before it’s too late.
