Excerpt


I yawned on my way to the living room, stretched out on the couch,
pulled a comforter over my body, and opened a book I’d been reading. I
was involved in the novel’s complex plot when my cell phone buzzed. I
reached over and plucked it from the coffee table. My best friend Alice
“Pinky” Nelson’s name appeared on the screen.

I smiled and pushed the accept button. “Hey, Pink—”

She cut me off. “Ahhhh. Cami, you need to come out here. Now.” She
spoke with a hushed intensity. Was she hurt, in trouble?

My heart sank as I dropped the book, threw back the comforter, and jumped off
the couch. “Come out where? Where are you, Pinky?”

“Kitchen . . . window. . . yours. . . look . . . out.” It took me
a second to process her words, comprehend what she meant. She was in my
backyard
? Had she tripped and fallen?

I crossed the ten feet in a flash, slid my feet into boots by the back entry,
cast all apprehension aside, and pushed open the door. The early evening sky
was cloaked in darkness, and with the help of an alley’s street lamp, I
spotted a vehicle I didn’t recognize parked by my garage. What in the
world?

Pinky’s car sat next to it. I flipped on the outside house light and saw
Pinky sitting in her car. When I went down the steps and moved toward her, she
jumped out from her driver’s seat and pointed at the other vehicle.
“I think he might be dead.”

My heart sank even lower as I glanced at a bulky form in the other
vehicle’s passenger seat. I was unable to move, frozen to my spot on the
snow-covered lawn. Pinky closed the gap between us and threw her arms around
me. We turned our heads in sync toward the vehicle occupied by an
unknown—dead or alive–person.

#blogtour Rowans Lovers by Mikala Ash

Action Adventure Romance, Capture Fantasy

Date Published: May 29, 2026

Publisher: Changeling Press

Rowan has a bounty on her head. Will her lovers get to her before a
bounty hunter can collect the reward?

 

Rebellious slave Rowan is heading for the walled city of Iseky to find her
lovers Ky and Chin Lau. She also need to discover who wiped her memories and
why. Soldier of fortune Kepel Dev is forced to hunt her by any means
necessary.

When Ky rushes to Iseky to try to find Rowan, he meets the flirtatious Hetta
along the way. Meanwhile Chin Lau has escaped the Skolls and their new leader,
Tamin Gutra, but on his way to find Rowan he falls into the hands of
cannibals.

Little do they know slave master Ganwe din Kopese holds the key to all their
futures.

 


EXCERPT

 

Ganwe din Kopese, known variously as Gan or Kop or Din the Slave Master,
surfaced from a pleasant dream soon after sunrise. He’d been led into
the desert by a troupe of naked slaves to an idyllic oasis where they
frolicked in the sparkling water, the sun gleaming off their flawless skin.
Under a swaying palm, strenuous digging uncovered a huge wooden chest of great
antiquity. They’d opened it, lifting the creaking lid to expose a
veritable king’s ransom. Excitedly they scooped up the glistening gems
— diamonds, rubies, sapphires — and gaily tossed them into the air so they
fell upon his head like the gentlest of summer rain.

Ganwe din Kopese awoke not only with a contented smile, but also a mighty
erection. He surveyed the prominent tent in the silk sheet and grunted in
self-admiration. “Seesee!” he bellowed.

A moment later his wife, third and youngest bearer of that majestic title, ran
full tilt into his room, the folds of her transparent nightdress flowing about
her petite body like a desert whirlwind.

“See to that, will you,” he said casually.

Seesee eagerly lifted the sheet, exposing his firm muscular body, and dove in.
For a few moments he luxuriated in her warm, wet mouth. “Litu,” he
then shouted. “I’m starving!”

From somewhere below — the kitchen he hoped — came an unintelligible reply
from the second bearer of that esteemed title of wife. Gan imagined she was
instructing the slaves in the preparation of some delicacy or other. Litu, he
knew, kept a diligent eye on the latest culinary fashions shed like confetti
by their betters up north. In the adjoining room a baby wailed, and was soon
comforted by Didoy, the first bearer of the revered title of wife, who hummed
a soothing rhyme from her childhood.

The house of Kopese had awakened.

Gan lay back, enjoying Seesee’s skills, noting that her technique had
improved since Didoy’s lesson in the Quad: the art of pleasing a man
with lips, tongue, throat, and fingers. She had finally mastered the timing of
the twist of the shaft as she withdrew her mouth from his swollen organ before
plunging downward so that her dainty nose was bent against his hard, muscular
stomach. She held there for a count of five before slowly withdrawing. As she
drew her mouth away, she wrapped her dainty fingers around his shaft to apply
the screwing action that gave him an inordinate amount of pleasure. He sighed
with satisfaction as the dream of buried jewels faded like a summer mist.

Litu, wearing a flimsy robe shaded in jade, entered with a tray. The smell of
freshly baked bread, melting ocyx butter, strips of seasoned meat, and her
sweet perfume caressed his nostrils. Balancing the tray expertly on one hand,
she used the other to put an extra pillow under Gan’s raised head and
shoulders. Then she swept off the sheet, positioned the tray on his flat
belly. Seesee adjusted her position so she could tongue his ball sac while
Litu knelt beside him to take on the shaft and head duties while he ate.

Gan watched appreciatively as his second wife opened her small, bow-shaped
mouth as wide as she could to take in the thick head of his cock. He thought
of it as the dome of a massive mushroom, and was secretly pleased that it
posed a constant challenge to Litu, who eagerly strove to fit it all in. He
took a generous bite of his bread, sending ocyx butter dribbling from the
corner of his mouth. He almost bit his tongue when Seesee suddenly sucked one
of his balls deep into her mouth.

“Easy, Seesee. Easy.”

“My apologies, husband,” she slurred after popping the delicate
egg from between her generous lips. A shiny thread of saliva hung between her
mouth and his tight scrotum, and with a giggle she slurped it up as she
resumed her wifely duty.

Gan smiled contentedly. What a perfect household I have built, he thought.
Three perfect gems, for that was how he often thought of his wives, to cater
to my every urge
.

He finished his breakfast with a cup of warm wine flavoured with huj, an
expensive spice he imported from the Northern Reach. The slaves from that
region carried the bales of the crushed seeds on their heads as they trudged
their way to the Auction House.

That reminded him of this day’s tasks: the bidding for docile but
intelligent slaves who could be taught. The House of Kopese was known across
the world for the quality of his bedroom and household slaves. “Only the
best from Kopese,” was his watchword, and all the prestigious houses of
the city came to him. He excelled in teaching the art of pleasing men and
women of refinement, and his slaves were keenly sought after, garnering top
prices.

“Enough, Seesee, Litu. Enough, I say. I need all my stamina
today.” He laughed at his unintended rhyme.

His two wives, however, pouted. Though they knew the demands of his day and
evening, they didn’t like being denied their morning coupling.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s not the end of the
world.”

“It is,” Seesee said. “It’s been a whole week.”

“Has it?”

“You know it has. My cunny is aching. It’s wet all the
time.” She screwed up her face. “You don’t love me as much
as Litu.”

“Now, don’t be like that. I love you all the same. Didoy, Litu,
and Seesee. All the same.”

“But you’ve had Litu three times in the last four nights.”

“I wish you wouldn’t keep count,” Litu said.
“It’s not my fault –”

“Litu. Stop it!” Gan snapped. “Just this minute I was
congratulating myself on such a harmonious household, and you go and spoil it
by bickering.”

“I’m sorry, husband.”

“Now, Seesee. Remind me when I come home that it is your turn.
Happy?” She smiled at Litu triumphantly. Shaking his head good-naturedly
he chucked his pretty wife under her chin. “Now, is my bath
ready?”

“I’d just ordered the heating of the water when you called,”
Seesee said.

“Then go. See that it is ready for me.”

She stuck out her tongue at Litu and launched herself off the bed. After
she’d skipped from the room, Gan took Litu’s hand and drew her to
him for a kiss. She licked the ocyx butter from his chin.

“How old is she? Remind me.”

“Twenty.”

“And how old are you?”

“Two and twenty.”

“Then don’t goad her. Act your age.”

She pouted again.

“Has it really been three times in four nights?”

She nodded, and a sly smile escaped her contrite expression.

“There must be a reason for that,” he said in a questioning voice.
“I wonder what the reason could be.”

“Because…”

He silenced her with a kiss. “I love you all the same. Remember
that.”

“Yes, husband.”

“Now take this tray to the kitchen, and then go help Didoy with the
children.”

“Yes, husband.”

“First, find my robe. It’s a bit chilly this morning. And my
slippers. Where are my slippers?”

An hour later, bathed, perfumed, and dressed in his finest, Gan was farewelled
by Didoy, who handed him his ebony staff as she did every day.

He kissed her, then stood back in silent admiration of her beauty, and his
luck.

“You do this every morning,” she chided.

Her face was colouring in a blush fit for a maiden, not of a wife of ten years
with three children and a household to manage. “I stop to thank the gods
for the blessing they have bestowed on me. Is that so grievous a crime?”

“Being late will be a very great one if you miss bidding on the best
prospects. The High Warden put in an order for six, no less: four cocks and
two cunts.”

“Where would I be without you, I wonder.” He kissed her again.
“Six, you say? What in the world does he do with them?”

#blogtour Lila’s Journey by  Jane Coletti Perry

Historical Fiction

Date Published: 05-19-2024

Publisher: Mustard Seed Press

It’s 1866 on the Santa Fe Trail. Sixteen-year-old Lila Bonner is
forced to make a life-changing decision that leaves her frightened and alone.
With help from a kindhearted stranger, Lila reaches Council Grove, Kansas,
where she hopes to build a new life. Fortified with determination, and tapping
into a strength she didn’t know she had, Lila deals with basic survival,
Indian unrest, and an epidemic. As she develops into a wise, capable young
woman, an unspeakably evil plot threatens her life as well as a blossoming
romance. Her fate hangs in the balance between the person who betrayed her,
the man she loves, and the woman she’s become.

Excerpt from Lila’s Journey

She kept up a brisk pace through the wooded path as the sun peaked in and out
of the clouds, shifting the shadows of the trees. Some of the trees had shed
their leaves, but the mighty oaks still clung to theirs, and they rattled in
the breeze. She kept her arms under her cloak for warmth but slowed
momentarily when the sound of the rattling changed. She did a quick turnaround
but saw nothing. “Must have been some critter scampering about,”
she said, and picked up her pace again.

It happened so fast it scarcely registered.

Large hands overpowered her and grabbed her from behind, one covered her
mouth, the other circled her waist. A surge of adrenaline triggered a painful
heartbeat in her chest. She screamed through the clamped hand, but the sound
was choked off. Lila struggled to free her arms from inside her cloak while
she wildly kicked backwards. The harder she fought, the fiercer the grip. Lila
raised her leg and shot it backwards again, this time hitting a shin. A rough
voice cursed in her ear.

She was lifted off her feet and shoved against a tree, snapping the side of
her head against the trunk. Pain shot through her head. Dazed, she made a
feeble attempt to grab the arms. A hand slapped hard against her face. Spots
danced before her eyes with the disappearing daylight, then nothing.

 

When Lila came out of the fog of unconsciousness, she found herself in
darkness. She was blindfolded. She was on a horse with someone sitting behind
her, someone with unspeakable body odor whose breath reeked of whiskey. What
was happening? Who has done this?
She had a throbbing headache, made worse
with each step of the horse over the uneven ground.

Reaching for her head, she realized her hands were bound together. Why am I
tied up? This makes no sense.
She was a captive and there was nothing she
could do to give herself any advantage. The realization sent her into a frenzy
of fear, and tears swelled under her blindfold. Dear God, what am I to do?

Now fully awake, her heart pounded as she tried to clear her head. She had no
idea how long she’d been unconscious, no idea where she was, no idea who
sat behind her in the saddle. She shuddered to think who her captor was and
what he had in mind.

#blogtour The Eternal Flame and the Childrenof Promise by PJ Patrick Flynn #bookblitz @rabtbooktours

Christian Non-Fiction

Date Published: December 23, 2025

The Eternal Flame and the Children of the Promise traces the thread of
God’s covenant promises through Scripture and history, showing how the
“eternal flame” of God’s purpose has been guarded, opposed, and carried
forward to our own generation. It is written for thoughtful lay believers and
seekers, pastors, and small group leaders who feel the weight of current
events and want to test every headline against the unshakeable promises of God
rather than speculation or fear.

Drawing on careful biblical exegesis, historical research, and engagement with
contemporary scholarship, it seeks to equip readers to recognize the patterns
of God’s dealings with His people, discern the times without sensationalism,
and anchor their hope where Scripture does: in the faithfulness of the One who
calls Himself “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

By the end, readers will better understand where we are in the story of
redemption—and what it means to live as children of the promise in an
age of upheaval.

About the Author

PJ Patrick Flynn is a retired public school administrator, teacher, and
environmental consultant. She lives in the Sierra Nevada mountains, surrounded
by animals and books, writing in the quiet of a high country retreat.

A seventh generation Californian, she descends from a family with more than
420 years on American soil, beginning with early arrivals to Massachusetts in
the early 1600s. From the Mayflower through the Revolutionary, Civil, and
World Wars, her ancestors fought for freedom, trekking across the continent
over generations of Manifest Destiny to the final frontier—California in
the 1800s.

Her great grandfathers helped shape the Los Angeles basin in the early 1900s
as it grew from a town of a few thousand into a major metropolis. One founded
an early auto parts enterprise that later folded into what became the NAPA
Auto Parts distribution system, and was a 33rd degree Freemason and 32nd
degree Scottish Rite Mason; the other built many of the public schools of Long
Beach—campuses she would encounter again a century later when her own
career in school business leadership ended amid the battle over their
reconstruction.

That civic legacy extended through her grandfathers and close kin. One
grandfather served in the U.S. Navy and spent three decades as an engineer in
Lockheed’s Skunk Works, contributing to the secretive aerospace projects
that defined the Cold War era. Another served in the Navy in the Second World
War and later became a Superior Court judge for Island and San Juan Counties
in Washington State. A maternal uncle spent ten years in the U.S. Coast Guard
before rising to vice president of foreign research and development for
Occidental Petroleum, and a maternal aunt served for twenty seven years as
director of research within the orbit of the United Nations and the
International Atomic Energy Agency.

Her father developed historic ranches in California and Nevada and worked in
Republican politics alongside Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and Richard
Nixon, later authoring two books about his time with Reagan. Until his death
in 2024, he remained active in local affairs, modeling a life of engagement at
the intersection of land, liberty, and public service.

It is against this backdrop of faith, sacrifice, and civic engagement that she
writes today. Politics, corporate development, international organizations,
Freemasonry, law, the military and its industrial complex, history, land use
development, and construction all appear in her extended family story,
providing a living case study of the very systems traced in this book. These
ancestral strands—crossing boardrooms, bases, courtrooms, campuses, and
covenants—form the soil from which her understanding of global forces
has grown, and the lens through which she explores genealogy, power, and
promise in The Eternal Flame and the Children of the Promise.

#blogtour Undisciplined Catallyst  by Gail Koger @sdbooktours #bookblitz

 

I was sixteen when I found out not only am I an alien

Guess who gets to stop them? Me.

Undisciplined
Catalyst

Coletti Warlord Series Book 19

by Gail Koger

Genre: SciFi Paranormal Romance

I was sixteen when I found out not only am I an alien
hybrid, but monsters called the Tai-Kok were getting ready to invade our world.
Guess who gets to stop them? Me. How?

My uncle, the mad scientist, created a machine called the portal that
instantaneously sends a test subject from one location to another by converting
them into energy. His idea is to port me onto a Tai-Kok ship. All I have to do
is leave a bomb, hit the retrieval button on my spiffy traveler’s belt and
poof! I’m back on Earth before the Tai-Kok ship goes kaboom. Sounds simple,
right?

Wrong. Uncle Ben doesn’t have a clue where I’ll actually appear on the ship. It
could be the engine room, the crew quarters, or even the bridge. It’s like
playing Russian roulette. The Tai-Kok don’t like surprises or uninvited guests.

To make things even more fun, I have an alien battle commander stuck in my head
and I’m related to a powerful Coletti warlord. Yippee. The chances of me living
to see eighteen aren’t good.

“Give ‘em hell.” A wild look in his eyes, Uncle Ben tapped
on the portal’s control console.
The circles of light surrounded me, but this time it felt like a zillion fire
ants were crawling over my body. Holy hell! Something had gone wrong! I
appeared in midair and dropped like a rock. Smack! I slammed into someone, and
my Glock went flying.
My eyes bugged. I was on the bridge of a futuristic warship, and the viewscreen
showed one hell of a space battle that was going on. To make things even more
fun, I was lying across the lap of a huge, muscle-bound male wearing black
battle armor. Since he was sitting in the captain’s chair, I was assuming he
was the boss.
A very angry-looking boss. I blinked. Holy cow was he good looking, if you were
into the whole merciless predator thing. Huh? The red chains woven into his
black warrior’s braids matched the communication device on his left wrist. Who
knew aliens accessorized and why did I care? I took a deep breath trying to
control the panic streaking through me.
A low growl rumbled in his chest
One look into his disturbingly hostile amber eyes and I knew I was in big
trouble. I reached for my retrieval button.
His arms clamped around me painfully and he spat a bunch of gobbledygook.
“Sorry, I don’t speak that language,” I replied mentally. Somehow, I knew he
was psychic.
A harsh voice sounded in my head, “How did you get through our shields.”
“Dunno. My uncle is the scientific genius, not me. I’m just the delivery girl.”
“What do you deliver?”
Did I look stupid? The minute I told him bombs; he’d kill me. I pasted a
friendly smile on my face. “Stuff. I’m Lexi and you are?”
“Battle Commander Kaelen. I serve Zarek the Coletti Overlord.”
I had no clue who Zarek was, nor did I want to meet him. “You must be so
proud.”
“Do you have a death wish, female?”
I grimaced. “Some people would think so.”

Howdy. My name is Gail Koger and once upon a time I was a
9-1-1 dispatcher. Too many years of wild requests, screwy questions, bizarre
behavior and outrageous demands have left me with a permanent twitch and an
uncontrollable craving for chocolate. I took up writing science fiction romance
to keep from killing people. So far, it has worked.

Never wanted to be a cop. Definitely didn’t want to work for an agency that
used to hunt monsters like me.

But when you’re a wolf shifter who doesn’t fit in your pack AND the daughter
of an archangel’s son? Your career options are… limited.

So I joined I.S.E.A. as one of their first supernatural agents. Figured I’d be
dealing with easy cases forever.

Then the murders started.

Ritualistic. Brutal. All victims from Fenrir’s bloodline…just like me.

Now my rookie partner Jada and I are racing to stop a cult that wants to
trigger Ragnarök. They’re sacrificing wolves to level up and take on the
gods themselves.

 

Oh, and did I mention:

✨ Fenrir might be calling in my ancestor’s debt

✨ My dad gave me his angelic war sword (she talks, it’s annoying)

✨ A gorgeous Valkyrie keeps saving my life

✨ The fate of the world might rest on two rookies

 

No pressure, right?


WINGS AND FANGS is book one of the Supernatural Legacies
trilogy—grittier, wittier, and more action-packed than ever. Meet
Roxanne Crowfoot: wolf shifter, nephilim, and the agent who’s about to save
(or doom) us all.
