Come see us at SC ComiCon this weekend!
Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer is out!
Hey, y’all! 😄 Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer is here!
And already, it’s reached #1 on two different Amazon Best-Seller lists! 😮 We couldn’t have had such an excellent launch week without the support of our readers, so a special thanks to everyone who pre-ordered, or just stumbled upon this hot cover and gave us a chance. ☺️

An insatiable succubus? A shy werewolf? A scatterbrained angel? This team needs a leader!
J.B. Clarke enrolled in college to earn his degree and find a steady job. What he got instead was an adventure in a secret underworld where vampires rule over all. Emma Rose, a friendly gamer who turns out to be a succubus, recruits him into Broken Fang, an overly ambitious team of monster girls. These lovely ladies know they’ll need help if they’re to stand a chance against the vampires, and they’re looking for a few good men.
Well, one man, actually. And that’s him.
Clarke is soon thrust into a hidden world full of magic, mystery, and mythical creatures. He’s in way over his head because Broken Fang is a dysfunctional mess, and his calculus professor is a sadistic vampire who snacks on pet animals. He’ll need more than his (considerable) experience with fantasy games to solve this problem!
Fortunately, he’s far from helpless. He’s a blood knight, descended from an ancient and powerful line of vampire hunters, and his magical abilities have finally begun to awaken. But will they be enough? Can he master his powers in time to face the coming storm? Can he grow into the leader Broken Fang so desperately needs?
Or will he end up as just one more meal for the vampires?
WARNING: Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer is a fun urban fantasy adventure with a healthy side of heat: voluptuous succubi, energetic werewolves, incorrigible slime girls, nubile witches, and saucy language to match. (So don’t read it and then complain about the spice. Y’all know exactly what you’re getting into.)

Lots of new stuff to read on the Patreon! 😄
Hey, y’all! If you like to read novels before their official release, then it’s a crazy-good time to be on the Apprentice Mage+ tiers of my Patreon.😄
Long story short, while I was drafting my latest, Monster Girl Tamer #1, my husband Jacob had a little break in his writing schedule and decided to fill it with … more writing. Which resulted in us collaborating on Blood Knight #1: Vampire Slayer.
And since a recent surgery* put me a little behind on posting Monster Girl Tamer, I opted to fill those days with the rejected draft of my next Titan Mage novel, Titan Mage Defender (along with commentary on why I rejected it 😮).
*No worries! It was a planned hysterectomy, and I’m well on my way to recovering.
All this to say, there’s now A TON of new stuff to be read over on the Patreon:
Per Patron request, I’ve also recently added some additional tiers, as well as some additional rewards like special coupon codes for select tiers, now that I have a direct shop! 😄
And don’t forget, everyone who signs up on the Arcane Index Mage Recruit+ tiers gets a Titan Mage sticker pack! 😃
If any of this makes you go HECK YEAH, just hop on over to my Patreon. 😊 We have a ton of fun over there!
Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer is up for Pre-Order!
Coming March 14th, 2024!

SOON
Mornin’, everyone, and Happy New Year!
I hope today finds you with the same number of fingers you had last year, and in general good spirits. 😄 Husband and I had a fun evening, which is to say he went to bed at 10pm, and I stayed up through the wee hours making a book cover for our next release. 😆
What’s that? But Monster Girl Tamer isn’t done, you say!
The short version of this story is that husband had some free time before his next traditional book contract is set to land, and he is A Chronic Author, which means he used the time to write a whole dang book. (And is currently halfway through the second dang book, cause why not. 😆)
It’s a collaborative piece, so my current project is going through and doing my part – editing, and generally pouring my sass all over it – but the first chapters will be coming to the Patreon starting THIS SATURDAY! 😄
That said, if you’re a fan of hot urban fantasy with monster girls and kick-ass vampire hunting action, look forward to Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer!
What’s Edie Reading? – Magic Steampunk Pirate Booty #1 by Grady Sparks
Hey, y’all!
One of my goals this year is to start sharing more books that I’m reading so this blog isn’t just me-me-me all the time. To that end, here’s the first in my newest feature, “What’s Edie Reading?” 😄
I knew I was going to enjoy Magic Steampunk Pirate Booty from the title alone, and its raucous blend of humor and adventure does not disappoint.
I’ve seen it receive lots of praise similar to that given to Titan Mage, and it’s definitely earned: The ladies are distinct and inseparable from the plot, the action is energetic (sometimes bonkers), and the sexy banter between the characters is top-notch. (Also, the spicy scenes are hot, and fans of Bexley will find another waifu to love in Bree.)
Also, in a genre where the writing is sometimes conspicuously rushed for a quick release schedule, this one takes the time to have some genuinely hilarious turns of phrase that had me pausing to read them aloud to my husband.
All in all, a super fun read (and it’s associated short story, “Idol Pleasures,” is worth checking out, too)!
The Hot Springs Episode is now out on Audible!
Y’all, Royal Guard Publishing, Daryl Mayfield, and Jess Trepanier are ON IT! 😄They got the audio version of The Hot Springs Episode out before I’d even finished laying out the final eBook/print versions! 😮
That said, go forth and listen! It’s a lil’ bite-sized thing at a bit over 3 hours, but it’s also the lovely snack-sized prize of $5. Enjoy! 🤤
What’s Edie up to these days?
It’s been some MONTHS, y’all. 😫
After releasing Titan Mage Apocalypse this past June, I took some time off to recharge my creative brain.
I’d intended to start writing again in late July, but then my grandma was hospitalized, my dad had surgery, I got sick, my cat got sick, my cat died, we got a new kitten who is chaos incarnate, and then we went to Disney World.
Somewhere in there I managed to write three chapters of the next Titan Mage series—but with all that madness affecting my writing, they ended up being pretty crap chapters, so I junked them.
All this to say, my life has finally sorta calmed down, and now I’m Officially Back to Writing! 😃
In the past month, I’ve finished two Titan Mage short stories for anthologies that are coming out early next year. (More on that when preorder links are up.)
The husband and I have also re-outlined the mess that was the next Titan Mage book—and completely outlined a brand-new monster girl trilogy in a new universe!
Well, new-ish. On my non-spicy H.P. Holo penname, I wrote Monster Punk Horizon, a GameLit series inspired by all things Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Digimon, and generally monster hunting/collecting/befriending.
I’ve had a lot of requests for a monster girl series, and it occurred to me that the world of that setting would be perfect for one.
Thus, I’d like to introduce you to Monster Girl Tamer! 😄
It’s already being posted on the Apprentice Mage+ tiers of my Patreon, with two new chapters coming each week!
When will it release on Amazon? I’m aiming for March or June of next year, but an official pre-order link won’t be posted until the novel is finished on Patreon.
This will be my publication process going forward, for two reasons:
1) The Titan Mage publication schedule was so demanding that, after writing five books nonstop for a year, I was nearly burned out by the end of the series. It also left next to no room for life stuff, con appearances, and the like, so while it was an immensely fun project, I was also immensely ded by the end of it. 💀
2) Readers have been asking for longer books, which naturally take longer to write than my previous schedule allowed (at least, if I’m to write similar quality). Posting to Patreon until the novel’s done thus allows me to write without burning myself out, and allows readers who really want to read early the ability to do so.
What about Titan Mage, then? Don’t worry! 😄 Subsequent series are still happening, one a companion series that follows the crew of the Indigo Gryphon, one a series that continues Locke’s story – but more on those when they’re closer to release.
All that said, between Monster Girl Tamer, Titan Mage, and more to be announced😉, 2024’s shaping up to be an exciting year.
Titan Mage Apocalypse (#5) is now out on Audible!
IT’S FINALLY HERE! 😄 From Royal Guard Publishing, narrated by Daryl Mayfield and Jess Trepanier.
Y’all have been waiting a long time for this one, and now I’m delighted to say that the Titan Mage series is officially complete! (For the moment, anyway. 😉)
It’s been a ride, both in terms of the writing and in the amazing reception from fans, and I hope you find this ending worthy of it. Enjoy! ☺️
Titan Mage Rising (#4) is now out on Audible!
THE BEAST IS UNLEASHED! 😀 From Royal Guard Publishing, narrated by Daryl Mayfield and Jess Trepanier.
Titan Mage Rising ended up being one of my favorites in the entire series, solely for the ways in which it surprised me as I was writing it, so I’m eager to see what y’all think of the audiobook version! Enjoy! 😄
