Update

Hi there! The writer formerly known as Emma here. I just wanted to provide a quick update to let everyone know that Family Matters (the main story and Halloween extra) will tentatively be re-published during Memorial Day weekend and The Rising Son will follow shortly after. Tentative because some factors like formatting will be at the mercy of the schedules of others. Both stories will have new covers and bonus content, and I’m incredibly excited to present them to you. Again. 🙂

(And after all of that, Two Princes.)

Write on,
C.

Tuck & Chuck (flash fiction)

A canon-adjacent Harborview Immortals flash fiction that picks up where the Tuck-centric bonus chapter 7.5 in Family Matters leaves off, but from another vampire’s POV. I originally wrote this while visiting my BFF in Texas, hence the vampire in this story being from Texas, too.

I finally did the thing.

Jacob returns to Georgia when a distant relative is in peril. Between seeing her and his first love/murderer/maker, he finds himself remembering all the heartaches and horrors of a human life that he would much rather forget.

The Final Countdown

I love that song. Hello there.

Barring some sort of extinction-level event, Scars from the Past will be available for download on Monday.

I’m also dusting off a flash fiction related to everyone’s favorite (okay, maybe just my favorite) gum-chewing vampire that will be posted sometime next week.

I’m also prepping the first novella in a three part *gasp* non-vampire series I wrote years ago to publish within the next month or two because I got tired of it judging me for ignoring it every time I opened my Drive.

I’m also hard at work on Two Princes. No ETA on that yet but it’s getting there.

I’m feeling productive AF. I like it.

Last Look (flash fiction)

A canon-adjacent Harborview Immortals flash fiction (and unintentional sort of prequel to Scars from the Past) about Jacob paying one last visit to the family member he’ll never know.

To Protect and Serve (flash fiction)

A canon-adjacent Harborview Immortals flash fiction about Officer Brian learning about his new job from his new boss and meeting the sexually generous son of the club’s owners.

Birth of a Monster (flash fiction)

A canon-adjacent Harborview Immortals flash fiction about a newly-turned Steven getting revenge for all the years of his father’s mistreatment. (TW: implied sexual abuse, outright violence)

Why…

… do writers do their best writing when they’re actually not writing? I practically finished a novel in my head while I was grocery shopping this morning.

I’m resuming Scars from the Past this week. I want to wrap that one up before jumping back into the series proper, especially since it’s the last Extra short story involving any of the main characters that I have planned for a while. I’m really looking forward to spending time with Jacob, just the two of us. As my longest-existing character, he deserves some special attention (even if it involves delving into his past and making him relive terrible things).

Happy writing.

The Rising Son now available!

The Rising Son Cover

Xan Dawson is finally growing up. Oh, he still loves his video games and comic books, but gone are the days when he would skip work for long stretches of time and screw as many guys as humanly possible. Two reasons for his newfound maturity are a new boyfriend and almost being killed by his vampire father’s maker. Although the latter has recently made the simple act of sleeping a frightening ordeal, he is determined to press forward and make his parents proud by excelling in the responsibilities of his new job. One of those responsibilities is welcoming an acquaintance to the Rising Sun for the weekend. All goes well after some initial flirtatious awkwardness… until the vampire makes a revelation that forces Xan to confront the pros and cons of a life choice that he would rather not contemplate at all.

This is Book #2 in the Harborview Immortals series.

Available at Smashwords, B&N, Apple, and Kobo.
