Yep, I wrote a story about Rush, everyone’s least favorite SEAL. It’s a play on Beauty and the Beast and can be read as a standalone. I think everyone deserves a path to redemption, even him. Here’s a little excerpt:
“Why shouldn’t I kill him again?” Bohdi asks, turning back to his girlfriend.
Putting her hands on her hips, Lewis stamps her foot. “You shouldn’t hurt him because I can take care of myself.”
Maybe it is because Rush’s not in a cone of heat and he can feel Bohdi’s mood isn’t quite as murderous as before, maybe it’s because he likes to be cocky in the face of danger, maybe it’s because of adrenaline, but he lets out a long, “Pfft!”
Lewis and Bohdi both look at him.
Rolling his eyes, Rush says, “Come on, Lewis, you can’t hurt anybody.” It’s the truth. Lewis may have magic that rivals Patel’s and the mayor’s, but Lewis can’t hurt a fly. Literally, she cannot. If she fires a gun, it won’t hit a living target. If she tries to step on a roach, her foot will slip.
Lewis gets very still. Patel takes a step back from Rush and cocks his head.
“I’m just telling it like it is,” Rush says. Without Rush, Bohdi, and the team, her life would be a lot more difficult.
One of Lewis’s delicate little nostrils flare, and it’s kind of funny, like looking at an angry bunny. Rush smirks.
Lewis’s eyes narrow. “You’re right, Rush, I can’t hurt you.”
Rush smiles triumphantly. Lewis strolls toward him, and Bohdi coughs into his hand.
“But I can fix you,” she croons.
“I’m not injured, but thanks.” Rush grins.
Stopping three feet away from him, Lewis drawls, “Rush, you unrepentant misogynist, if you don’t develop a meaningful relationship with a woman in the next fourteen days, your penis will never work again.”
So yes, Rush has some fun times in this story. Okay, not really, he has dismal times in this story, but it’s also funny, moving, everyone who has read it has loved it, and there is a happy ending. (Hey, not that kind of “happy ending!”)
Besides my story, there are 16 other fantastic fairy tale retellings. So what are you waiting for?

I wanted to put together a 99¢ Kindle Unlimited box set for my readers–one with the type of books I want to read: adventurous sci-fi with believable characters. My fellow writer Audrey Faye was of the same mindset, so we worked to put together a 8 novels, bought a gorgeous cover, booked promos … and Amazon decided that they will no longer allow Kindle Unlimited box sets unless the books are all by the same author or all unique to the set.
I wish I could deliver these 8 fantastic novels to you for 99-cents as planned. I can’t, but I can point you to the books. All are available in Kindle Unlimited, so if you belong to that program you can read them FREE. (If you don’t have a Kindle you can download a Free Kindle App.)

Finding the man of your dreams can be a real nightmare….
As the future prima, or head witch of her clan, Angela McAllister is expected to bond with her consort during her twenty-first year, thus ensuring that she will come into her full powers at the appointed time.

But with time running out, and dark forces attempting to seize her powers for their own, Angela is faced with a terrible choice: give up her dreams of the man she may never meet and take the safer path, or risk leaving her clan and everyone in it at the mercy of those who seek their ruin.

Gamer. Nerd. Sorceress.
This is the omnibus of the first three books in the USA Today bestselling urban fantasy series Twenty-Sided Sorceress, collected together for the first time in one convenient volume. Fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles will enjoy this series.
Book One- Justice Calling:
Jade Crow lives a quiet life running her comic book and game store in Wylde, Idaho. After twenty-five years fleeing from a powerful sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her powers, quiet suits her just fine. Surrounded by friends who are even less human than she is, Jade figures she’s finally safe.
As long as she doesn’t use her magic.
When dark powers threaten her friends’ lives, a sexy shape-shifter enforcer shows up. He’s the shifter world’s judge, jury, and executioner rolled into one, and he thinks Jade is to blame. To clear her name, save her friends, and stop the villain, she’ll have to use her wits… and her sorceress powers.
Except Jade knows that as soon as she does, a far deadlier nemesis awaits.
Book Two- Murder of Crows:
They say you can never go home again. If only that were true…
Game store owner and nerd sorceress extraordinaire Jade Crow knows death stalks her in the form of her murderous ex-lover, Samir, a sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her power. With the help of her friends, and sexy tiger-shifter Alek, Jade trains for the inevitable confrontation.
Until her estranged father shows up begging for help. Someone or something is murdering the crow shifters of Three Feathers ranch and her father believes sorcery is the only way to stop the killings.
Faced with an unknown foe, a family that exiled her decades before, a deepening relationship with Alek, and Samir’s ever-present threat, Jade will need all the power she’s gained and then some to stop the Murder of Crows.
Book Three- Pack of Lies:
Let sleeping dogs lie. Wolves, on the other hand…
Recovering from a broken heart and coming to terms with her family history, all sorceress Jade Crow wants is to resume running her comic book store and gaming with her friends. With a town full of strange wolf shifters, a hundred-and-fifty-year-old peace accord hanging in the balance, and the Justice who broke her heart back in her life, Jade’s plans go out the proverbial window.
Wolves are killing wolves, innocent human lives are caught in the crossfire, and not everyone in town is who they appear to be. As the bodies stack up and the doubts build, Jade and her friends race to find the true killer.
And then Jade’s evil ex-lover makes another move…
