Grab The Alpha’s Game Now!
What would you do to save your most important friendship?
Theo’s a dedicated charity worker alpha in Hong Kong who guides the city’s alphas and omegas through a maze of legal tangles.
His friend from college, an omega named Oliver, is a wealthy antique dealer whose family fled northern China in the late 1940s.
Whether eating noodles on the street, rubbing elbows with the well-to-do on Victoria Peak or shuffling mahjong tiles, the pair share a strong bond—but it’s always been platonic apart from a messy, drunken hook up.
When winds from four directions blow through the hills named after dragons and create chaos, the alpha grapples with his feelings.
But Oliver hopes for something romantic. And that something terrifies Theo and threatens to tear them apart.
The pair wrestle with doubt, fear and uncertainty, and then face a more tangible threat. But the once-fragrant harbor refuses to disclose its secrets until an unexpected source uncovers Theo and Oliver’s future. Are they destined to be?
This is a very short post today.
The Idriador Chronicles is live here.
An alpha, an omega and a mischievous piglet… what could possibly go wrong?
My new book The Alpha’s Game will be out this coming week. I’ll show the cover in my FB group on Sunday.
And on Wednesday, I’ll publish my Halloween short, The Omega’s Halloween, the fourth Lord Cuthbert ‘Cuddy’ Trenton book.
That’s all for this week.
An alpha, an omega, and adorable piglet called Trixie.
What would possibly go wrong?
Hi Everyone
If you haven’t checked out the mpreg freebies, please take a peek before they disappear on October 8. Contributing authors include Kiki Burrelli, Leyla Hunt, Coyote Star, Xander Collins, Lorelei M. Hart, Hawke Oakley, plus many others–including me!
I’m hoping to get the Idriador Chronicles bundle out in the next few days–I just have to write the blurb which is not my favorite thing to do.
If you’ve read the books, you’ll understand the significance of the lemons on the spine.
Here’s another sneak peek at the new book which will be out this coming week.
Here’s another snippet from the book.
“Theo.” The omega banged his hand on the desk.
“Huh?” The alpha’s eyes darted around the office as the images in his head faded and he was faced with a half-finished email on his computer.
“You have to come.” The omega sat on the edge of the alpha’s desk and leaned toward his friend while Theo inspected his nails.
Come where? “What?”
“The cocktail party I’m hosting will have wealthy men and women from all over the world including China. If you want donations for the charity, sending a begging email isn’t enough. You have to do it in person, and you know what that means?”
No! “Don’t you dare.”
“Accept my invitation or I’ll say it!”
“You wouldn’t.”
“I warned you.”

14+ fabulous authors have joined together to give you one week of mpreg freebies. Take a peek and grab the ones you want before they disappear!
Hi Everyone
This is a short post today.
1) Was hoping to give you a sneak peek of the new cover but don’t have it as yet.
2) Will be sending a NL Monday as I’m taking part in an mpreg freebie promo. Will also post on FB and twitter.
3) Chose my last pig pic for the Idriador Chronicles bundle out this coming week. OMG so many of those pigs have wet noses especially when you download the pic and see it magnified. Ewww! Haha
4) Ignore me if I moan about pig pics in future. Trying to find the dice pic I wanted for the new book took me hours! One tiny pic and I thought I’d go mad. It has to be the right number and colour and couldn’t show any other numbers!!!!!!
There are five pics on the new cover and I sourced four of them. I really admire designers who spend their time searching for suitable pics.
Here’s a snippet from my work-in-progress.

The crowds surged around a pair of middle-aged tourists arguing and gesturing at a map on their phone while the man stabbed a finger at the screen. Theo hesitated before approaching them. “Hi. May I help? What are you headed?”
The woman flashed a smile but as she caught his scent, it faded, and her eyes darted to her husband. Digging his nails into his palm, Theo stepped around them, but the woman grabbed his arm and gushed, “Thank you. We’re supposed to meet friends at an Indian restaurant.”
As the alpha leaned over the phone and pointed out how to reach their destination, the man put an arm round his wife’s waist and pulled her closer.
“Go around the corner and it’s on your left. Walk up the set of narrow stairs and it’s on the first floor, though you’d probably call it the second. I’ve eaten there and the food’s really good.”
“You’re American?”
“Mmmm.”
“Do you live here?”
“Uh huh.” Theo glanced at his watch. “Enjoy your dinner.” Shoving his hands in his pocket, the alpha strode off.

Not a shocker I know, but I seem to have messed up the linky thing this week. So here is the link to Jena Wade’s post.
Firstly, a little plug for The Alpha’s Vow which is free until late on Sept 25.
And here’s the cover for the Lord Cuthbert ‘Cuddy’ Trenton Halloween freebie short story. This is the fourth Cuddy story and the final two will be at Harvest Festival (Thanksgiving) and Christmas.
A couple of weeks ago I was trying to come up with a title for the pre-made historical cover I had bought. I suggested The Alpha Highwayman but thought it was boring.
Take no notice of anything I say. Haha.
I came up with many different names, but none were as simple or as explicit as The Alpha Highwayman.
So, that is what is has become.
Last week I gave you a hint as to the location of my next book. This is what I said.
And now here’s the second hint.
Okay, enough about covers. Here are the first two paragraphs of my work-in-progress.
Theo pulled up his hoodie and hunched his shoulders as rain spattered between the garish neon signs onto his head. Cold splotches of water, from dripping air-conditioners in the apartments above street level, hit his already-drenched hair and trickled down his back. It’s summer, and I’m freezing.
Despite the crappy weather, the sidewalk was crowded with people, and their plastic shopping bags whacked the alpha as he shoved between the throngs and dodged the spikes of wet umbrellas. Groups of teens headed into one of the few remaining gaming arcades in the city, while multi-generational families spilled out of restaurants, doggy bags of leftovers clutched in their hands.
What happens when you’re thrown together and there’s no escape?
Seb is a wealthy alpha who pursued his passion for working the land despite his family’s objections. Covered in tattoos, he favors short-term relationships over anything permanent.
But when Max, a Shakespeare-quoting backpacker, meets Seb in less than desirable circumstances, a misunderstanding has the omega accepting an offer that sends him hurtling in a new direction.
And then there’s Trixie, a tiny, pink piglet who has the run of Seb’s home and has captured his heart. She adores apples, riding on the alpha’s motorbike and plenty of snuggles. And it’s love at first sight when she meets Max.
Set against the backdrop of an unspoiled landscape and a lake that’s both serene and treacherous, Seb and Max’s relationship blossoms until a storm disrupts not only the surroundings, but also their future.
This is a 28,000-word, non-shifter, omegaverse novella, and it’s the first book in the Idriador series.
