Genre: Historical Romantasy 

Outlander meets What the Wind Knows with a dash of The Tudors

Claudia, Alex, and Marie embark on a perilous journey back through the swirling mists of time, their hopes pinned on averting a looming tragedy. As they navigate the tangled web of history, vivid memories of Alex and Claudia’s enduring love flicker across the timelines, a testament to their unyielding bond. Their destination is the tumultuous Ireland of 1649, a land poised precariously on the brink of siege. It is a treacherous era to traverse, where danger lurks at every corner.

In their quest, they immerse themselves within the ancient covens, becoming an integral part of the tightly knit community of Drogheda. The air is thick with tension, the kind that crackles and hums, as they wrestle with the monumental task before them. Caught in the crossfire of history, they face the daunting challenge of halting the impending slaughter of the town while grappling with the complex emotions tied to saving the beloved of their sworn nemesis.

As the stakes grow ever higher, the question looms large: will the timeless love between Alex and Claudia endure the trials they face, or are there formidable forces at work beyond their control, threatening to unravel the very fabric of their shared destiny?

*Contains mature themes, open door sex scenes, and mature language.

 

Such a fun, quick, whimsical historical read. If you are a fan of outlander or the tudors this is a perfect combination of both! – ARC reviewer

Armored Hours

Reincarnated Souls Book 1

Cable Girls meets Peaky Blinders meets Titanic

The girls had forged a bond together like iron that could not be broken. Claudia, Kiersten, Lina, and Florian were on the brink of making history with their powerful feminist movement, but then they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Alexander was a desperate bootlegger who was willing to risk it all to search for them. Not only were they in cahoots with him to help smuggle feminist contraband and forbidden booze, but Claudia had also unknowingly captivated his heart. He vowed to find them at any cost, but little did he know that their disappearance was part of a much bigger and sinister plot from the upper echelons of society.

 

Set in 1920s Paris of the Plains, Armored Hours is a thrilling tale of love and mystery interwoven with hints of magical realism.

 

 "I adore Armored Hours so much as it delivered the action packed narration that came with a strong sense of urgency and the undercut of deep emotions. It is set in a world where survival demands resilience, the journey isn't just the physical but also the mental. The main characters must wrestle with their own personal demons as well as facing external threats. I adore how the chapters build on from the previous chapters as well as pulling you deeper into the conflict. Stephanie did a brilliant job of balancing out the action with a lot more quieter moments of introspection that just add layers to the characters. This book will keep you on the edge with twists as well as it will grips you into the story." ~Aussie

Read an Excerpt

In the back of the rental SUV, my stomach burned, and a sour taste flooded my mouth. One week into summer break and my family was dumping me at this strange academy. While I struggled to find my purpose, they would be in Aspen, Emma Claire enjoying a ballet workshop while my parents lounged at the pool.

I had planned to hold my ground and insist on the rec center job, but then Dad got the red-light ticket. As I heard him slam his way through the front door, I raced to intercept him before he could start yelling.

I had briefly debated telling the truth—my anger at the stricken look on Noah’s face as pee ran down his legs and puddled on the floor. I imagined Dad puffing up with pride that I had stood up for a boy being bullied. That fantasy was discarded because I knew Dad wouldn’t get it. He and Mom had never experienced classmates jeering at them and the way it made you curl up inside and want to die.

I then considered accepting the consequences he started listing—no screens, no permit or license until I was seventeen, no allowance, etc. I could handle those but DJ wouldn’t stop until she knew why I had taken the car out in the first place. And that couldn’t happen if I wanted to survive the rest of high school.

Instead of an explanation, I offered him a deal. If I agreed to go to Haverford Pines, he wouldn’t punish me, tell DJ, or ask any questions.

Review: SPOOKED IN LITTLE LEAF CREEK by Cindy Bell

 

The town of Little Leaf Creek was holding its Halloween festival. With all the fun activities, nobody expected for a real dead body to be found in the corn maze. Supposedly the dead guy wasn’t too well-liked in town. Do towns, even a nice one like Little Lead Creek, really hold grudges? It seemed there was a reason to suspect Tessa’s old friend, Mark, of the murder. But he would never do that. It was up to Cassie and Tessa to figure it out. I loved the mischievous goats. A good read!

Review: GOOSEBUMPS: WHY I QUIT ZOMBIE SCHOOL by R.L. Stine

 

Something was off about Matt’s new school. Kids jumping off of balconies without a scratch, the cafeteria serving raw meat and chicken bones, and kids asking you when you died. Died? That’s because Matt was in Zombie School. The only way to survive was to pretend to be a zombie. Can he pull it off…or will he be dead meat? A good story!

Review: GOOSEBUMPS: THE BLOB THAT ATE EVERYONE by R.L. Stine

 

Zack, the writer, had found a rare treasure: an old typewriter to write his scary stories. Something strange was happening though: everything he typed on it would come true. With a few key strokes, the typewriter brings the blob monster to life…and it was hungry. I remember this story from the old days. It was a fun read for a good scary night.
