She’s a witch with no powers. He’s a shape-shifting vampire. Trusting him could save her… or cost her everything.

Brielle Gerrick can’t access her magic. In an effort to awaken her powers, she gets sucked into a time portal—to a castle in Spain in the year 1735.

The castle is attacked by demons. Their leader is a shape-shifting vampire named Leo Serrano, an arrogant creep who enjoys taunting Brielle.

When Brielle’s dark powers awaken, the others in the castle turn on her. They try to capture her and uncover the source of her magic before it unleashes itself.

Desperate to escape, Brielle must put her trust in Leo and his coven of vampires. She’ll do anything to master her powers and get back home.

Even if it means surrendering herself to her enemy.

★★★★★ “I am a big fan of R.L.’s world building, her characters’ banter, the sweet romances, and the way she writes strong women who are truly finding their place in the world. I loved Brielle and really thought this story was fun and unique! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.” – Joss Walker, New York Times bestselling author of Tomb of the Queen.

A bond she didn’t choose.
A love she can’t escape.
A creature so powerful it bends the limits of time…

Smart, sassy, and sanguine, Des Mildue is a traveling sellsword in Rescalin, a dry and dusty kingdom full of rogues, opportunists, and thieves. She keeps her nose clean, brazens it out with a blade when she can’t, and keeps others at arm’s length where they can’t mess up her plans.

That is, until a sword fight gone wrong leaves her tied by blood to the first dragon hatched in centuries. Suddenly, Des has to contend with a new voice in her head: haughty, willful Esquidamelion. Des wants to leave Squid by the roadside, but the blood bond has other ideas.

With half the world on their tail – including Liv, her beautiful, faithless ex who Des is definitely over – Des must search for answers for why so many are willing to kill, maim and torture to get their hands on Squid. But she’s beginning to suspect her blood bond has tied her not only to a dragon, but to a fight for Rescalin’s future…

…and no one else even knows it’s at risk.

If you like the kind of story that grabs you by the shirtfront and hauls you through mystery, magic, adventure and betrayal, with a side of sapphic romance, pick up The Blood-Born Dragon, first in a new trilogy from debut author J.C. Rycroft.

The day starts like any other, venturing into spider-bear territory to rescue Bennie’s sister.

Turns out there’s a lot of space that the Peacekeepers don’t go near, go figure spider-bear territory is on that list.

And that’s just the start of their adventure. Things get interesting, quick!

By interesting, I mean horrifying of course.

Their old friend Xarrix calls with a job. A job that sounds straightforward and easy. That should have been their first clue. With nothing else on their plates, the crew of the Ghost finds themselves in a sector of space deemed “untamable” by the Galactic Commonwealth, working with a warlord with some pretty big plans. That should have been the second clue.

Too bad none of the crew are detectives.

Learning from his past dealings with the crew of the Ghost, Xarrix assigns one of his own to stay aboard the Ghost to keep an eye on the crew and make sure they behave themselves as if that was possible.

What’s worse is it’s someone the team knows and don’t particularly like.

And then there’s the space battles and grilled cheese.

They saved the Galactic Commonwealth once. For free.

Apparently it’s a thing they do now…


The crew of the Ghost has been privateering for the Harrith government. You know, the one they saved from civil war.


It’s fun; stop pirates, smugglers and the like, and take their loot.

But nothing lasts forever. There’s a bounty on their heads after all.


A call from an old friend has them leave the safety of the Harrith system.


No good deed, and all that. Now they’re in the middle of it, again, can they survive?

At least it’s not a galactic conspiracy this time! There are, however; laughs, tears, and the first-ever Taco Tuesday in space!

Space Tacos?

Can Wil and the crew save the day one more time? There’s only one way to find out, get your copy today!

A 52-year-old hunter, the younger dragon who loves her, and a teenage hunter-in-training, all in a cottage in a magical garden (to say nothing of the three elves, eight witches, a sisterly dragon, and the cat sent by a goddess) . . .

Diana Barksdale has been a hunter for the Diana Council for most of her life, working as an avatar for the Roman goddess Diana by finding and eliminating those magical creatures who are causing harm. Known only as Barksdale (because what else do you do in a group with hundreds of women, all named Diana?), she’s sacrificed any personal life to serve the goddess’s will. But now she’s been sent on a far more terrifying mission–training a 14-year-old girl.

Harrison David has been in love with Barksdale ever since he woke up to find her spear at his throat. As a dragon, loving only one person makes him a bit of an outcast, but, now that his mother the dragon queen has sent him to live with Barksdale and help her train a new Diana, none of that matters. What does is that there’s a threat growing in their beautiful new home, one his dragon senses detect only too well–and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves and their young trainee.

Artemis (Miz) Montero’s hope is simply to get through each day unscathed. As a foster child, she’s used to ending up in questionable situations. But a house in a huge public garden where an old woman tells her she’s going to become an avatar for a Roman goddess? That’s not just questionable. That’s crazy!

Still, the three of them will need to work together to create a new kind of follower for the goddess. Because there’s something wrong with the Diana Council, and, if they don’t fix it, they may all be dead. Joined by more magical teenagers than Barksdale can shake her bow and arrow at, they’ll have to find a way to heal the land and make several goddesses happy, or they may not live to fight another day.

The Eternal Hunt is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe. Continuing readers will delight in visits from dozens of old friends, while new readers can easily enjoy the loads of quirky humor, romance, and suspense of this unusual contemporary fantasy with plenty of mythological twists.

On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.

*Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats. Wackiness may take other forms.

The More in Heaven and Earth series is all set in the same magical universe filled with angels, witches, werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts, and many other supernatural creatures. These intriguing tales can be read in any order or as stand-alones and will introduce the reader to a variety of fascinating characters throughout the many unique locales of this exciting world.

The mission was never supposed to be easy. Traverse dimensions, shift through alternative timelines, protect the Earth.

Andrew Ethridge had always known the stakes were high. Yet, nothing prepared him for the truth.

Jumping through parallel universes left Andrew with more questions than answers. As a member of the Cross Dimensional Corps at Area 51, he faces the daunting task of understanding why aliens were collapsing dimensions. It’s a race against time to save not just Earth, but the very fabric of the universe.

When inside a dimension where Atlantis dominates the world, Andrew and his team find themselves cut off from support. Their only way back is to rescue scientist Sabina Caelia. She knows about the aliens. And she’s on a mission of her own.

Then came the turning point. A revelation so profound, it threatened to shatter everything he knew. Andrew discovered a device capable of saving Earth across all parallel timelines. But in the wrong hands, it could mean the enslavement of humanity.

Now, Andrew’s mission transcends mere survival or military protocol. Existence is on the line. Can a team of professionals achieve the impossible?

Experience the beginning of this sprawling action-filled sci-fi entry to the Blink series. If you’re a fan of Arrival, the Matrix, the Three Body Problem, or if you want to know what aliens are actually like, you’ll love this military sci-fi epic.
