Games of Enemies and Allies: Available for Pre-Order

As I'm sure many of you know, The Games of Enemies and Allies is available for preorder, and is releasing in a few days on January 12th! What's even more exciting, though is we finally have a description! (IMPORTANT: This description contains SPOILERS for book 1, Lies of Vampires and Slayers! If you haven't read it yet, you'll want to skip reading this description!) What else is coming this week? A new Spot It! tracker for book 2 is coming the day before the release day so you can watch for new cameos when reading. I'll also be publishing a new Book Spoilers blog post so you can discuss the book and all your theories with other Champions right here on the website. And I am once again going to be offering a bonus short story when we get 100 honest reviews across Goodreads + Amazon for The Games of Enemies and Allies (the Drake vampires star in the new bonus short story - I had so much fun writing it, and I can't wait for you to read it!). Thank you in advance for every Champion who leaves a review on Goodreads or Amazon, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with other readers. 😍 And a quick reminder that the third and final book in this trilogy will be released at the beginning of April. I know that is a bit of a wait so I wanted to warn you in case you were planning to read all three books at the same time.

Amazon.com | All other Amazon Stores At night they’re enemies. During the day they’re friends. Only one of them is aware of this… My stress levels skyrocketed after I discovered the deadly vampire who has taken over downtown is Considine Maledictus, one of the most powerful vampires alive. Now I’m even more reluctant to tangle with him, but he’s started showing up in the middle of my investigations, even if they’re outside his territory. I never know if he’s there to fight or to lend me some unexpected help. I don’t have time to ponder his weird behavior, because a group of local wizards are up to some shady practices. They’ve never been fond of the non-magical, but suddenly they’re popping up all over the city, “helping” humans. At least I can count on my vampire friend and next-door neighbor, Connor, for some laughs. Except…he’s been acting strange and is even more touchy-feely than usual these days. Regardless, I’m going to stay focused on protecting my city. I’m just not sure if I should be more concerned about the wizards, or the chaotic vampire who swaps from friend to foe on a nightly basis. The Games of Enemies and Allies is the second book in the Magic on Main Street urban fantasy trilogy, and is part of the Magiford Supernatural City world. This series is packed with humor, magical fights, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a slayer who battles social anxiety and a vampire who is sick of his immortality.

Short Story: Family Bonding

Are you ready for a bonus short story? The Lies of Vampires and Slayers is now out, which means we have officially kicked off the next Magiford Supernatural City trilogy! Book # 2 will be out January 12th and book #3 will be out in early April. I'm really sorry for the delay between books 2 and 3 but my writing speed continues to be slow thanks to my pesky health problems and it takes me a lot longer to finish a book than it did in 2020 or earlier. But enough sad talk, time for some happy news! The reviews are in and I am so happy to see the Champions reaction to this book. I was sick with a cold for the whole week leading up to the book launch so I might be a bit more emotional than usual but my Champions are the best! Once again your honest, detailed, and oh so sweet reviews have let this author touched and humbled. So thank you. We hit the 100+ reviews between Goodreads and Amazon in record time-if I hadn't been sick for over 10+ days I would have posted this earlier! And now the moment we have all been waiting for! The bonus short story featuring Jade and her family of vampire slayers: Click here to read Family Bonding.

What did you think? I knew from the moment I started writing this series that I needed to do a short story starring Jade's family. It allows you to see how intense they are and I hope gives you a more detailed understanding as to why all her task force teammates are in awe of her. :) I'm also sharing the version of the Spot It tracker that includes the names for all the Places and People in The Lies of Vampires and Slayers. Click here or on the Spot It image below to get the "easy" version of the cameo tracker. And let me know what you thought of this fun activity - were you able to find all the cameos?

The Lies of Vampires and Slayers: Spoiler Post

Greetings, Champions! The Lies of Vampires and Slayers is officially released! Did you read it yet? I'm bringing back the tradition of a Spoiler Post because I want to give you blog-reading Champions a place to voice your reading thoughts during this initial book launch so please talk away! Warning: If you are waiting to read this series until all the books are out, or if you haven't gotten a chance to read The Lies of Vampires and Slayers yet, then I'd suggest waiting before you check out the rest of the post or read the comments, or you'll spoil the story for yourself!

As usual, I've will be writing short story as my "thank you" for the launch of this new book and for it reaching 100 reviews--that's 100 honest reviews pooling from Goodreads and all the Amazon stores!  Reviews and ratings are a big deal for authors. Honest reviews can help readers decide if a book is their thing or not, and I'm so thankful that you're willing to spend your time leaving a review--which is why I'm happy to write the shorts! And based on how quickly the reviews showed up for book 1, you can expect to see the short story....very soon. (Hahaha, thank you Champions, you are the best!) But until then, let's talk spoilers!

So, Champions, what was your favorite part? Was there anything unexpected? What are your theories for the rest of the series? This is the first time you have seen Vampire Slayers in depth - what did you think? Now that you've finally met Considine what is your impression of him? Anything you're looking forward to seeing in the next books?
