One way for you to find them is through Overdrive. Go to https://www.overdrive.com/libraries and put in your zip code. The local libraries who carry them in your area will appear.

Guides on how to use Overdrive with your e-reader to read e-books:

Here is a guide from Kobo (epub)

And another for Kindle (mobi)

Don't have a library card? Many libraries offer "e-access cards" or "e-cards"! 

Check your local library’s website to see if they offer this option and check not only your city, but county library, as well. Once you have a library card, you can access Overdrive or the Libby app and borrow books without ever stepping foot outside.

Never Trust A Vampire - $1.50

One is a paladin whose touch burns vampires to ash. The other is a vampire who hates his kind. Can these natural enemies work together for the greater good?

The Agency recruited me at sixteen after I survived a vampire attack. At nineteen, I’ve put ghosts to rest, captured werewolves, and intervened with black magic all over the world.

When I sense a vampire at my cousin’s piano concert, I confront the bloodsucker, only to have him grab my cross pendant and swear he’s never killed a human for blood. I’m so stunned by his vow, I let him watch the rest of the performance, but not out of my sight until he’s driving away. Then he has the audacity to walk into The Agency to ask for my help rescuing children from L.A.’s vampire queen!

My boss surprisingly won't let me refuse even though this sounds like a trap. Company motto is the only good vampire is a dead one. What makes this guy different from all the rest?

Della Garvison was born and raised in Guthrie, Oklahoma—a town with a population of 10,000 people. Her mother runs a vintage diner inherited from family and the farthest she's been from home is a thirty-minute car ride to Oklahoma City. It's been a traditional middle-America upbringing.

Until she has to defend herself from a vampire at sixteen.

Suddenly, life is fight training, classes about monsters, and possessing a power she doesn’t understand or know the origin of—all made more complicated by a crush on her instructor, Agent Thirteen. She doesn’t want any of this, but The Agency promises to pay her mother’s medical bills and making sure Mama's taken care of always comes first.

Becoming a paladin means sacrifice.

Picks up where MATE ended. New 2019 version!

I am Kalana of Ossiria, empress and last of my kind.
I am Carys Taylor, Earth woman.

Carys and William mated eternally and are expecting twins. Being pregnant and giving birth brings out Kalana's mama bear side and she'll stop at nothing to protect her babies against any threat, even one close to home.

Her children are the future of Ossiria.

Meanwhile, Sebastian and Bethany continue a slow courtship forbidden by the Shadow Knights. Will Sebastian give up his calling for love? Choosing to do so means losing his memories of the past century and a half to protect the Order.

Our heroes will be tested as never before.

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

A preview:

Carys

Later that evening, I took a moment to read the letters from Mom that fit my life so far. 

With the engagement letter was a key for a safe deposit box at the bank.  The only reference to it was there was a surprise inside. 

The wedding letter was very sweet and sentimental, and Mom offered some advice for adjusting to the first year in that style that had made me laugh so many times while she lived. 

However, it was the ‘so, you’re having a baby letter’ that made me cry.

My children wouldn’t have grandparents.  Not like the wonderful set I grew up with.  My father was the only one alive, a person I loved but only tolerated in short bursts. 

My mother would have spoiled them rotten and read all kinds of stories in all kinds of voices.  They would have played make-believe and come up with imaginary friends who went on great adventures. 

Oh, the babies would have lots of aunts and uncles by default in the form of all our friends, but it didn’t feel quite the same.

I was brought out of my musings by the feeling of my mate’s arms wrapped around me.

“Why the tears, love?”

“I was reading these,” I said, waving the letters around.  “And missing my mom. Our kids don’t have grandparents, Will.”

“Oh, sweetheart…that doesn’t mean they won’t be loved…and they’ll still have plenty of family. Sharing blood doesn’t mean you treat people the best.”

“I know. I just want them to have what I had. My mother’s parents were two of the best people you could ever meet. I was closer to my grandmother than even my mom, because she understood both of us. Sorry…reading these letters brought up all these memories, and I’m feeling sentimental. And these stupid hormones make me cry at the drop of a hat.”

“May I?” he asked, gesturing to the letters in my hand.

“Uh, sure…why?”

“I’d like to know your mum. She raised an amazing woman, and she still means a lot to you.”

“You’re wonderful, you know that?”

He looked down shyly, my feelings for him though the claim making him feel unworthy of their intensity.  I raised his chin and kissed him tenderly, completely open to him. 

Now, he was the one who felt like crying.  He’d known before I loved him, but now he knew how I saw him and it was enough to bring him to his knees to beg me to never stop.

“God…Carys! I love you so much…how you—”  His voice faltered, nothing but a whisper for the emotion clogging his throat.

“Shhh, baby…I know…you make me feel like that, too. I could never say enough to come close to describing it. Can we go to bed now? I need to feel you…”

He nodded rapidly.  “Need you, too.”

The letters were cast aside, clothes stripped away, and emotional walls dropped as we came together again.  We reveled in the new level of intimacy that came with making love since the claim.  Nothing could get in the way, and nothing else existed.

Until we slept.

Revising Children of Ossiria for 2019

Children of Ossiria - Second Editions

Starting end of May, I've been revising and re-uploading the Children of Ossiria books to closer match my writing of today. These books were written in 2015 and 2016.

Content has not changed. It has been cleaned up and enhanced.

Books done so far:
Outcast
Protector
Goddess
Mate

Book in progress:
Mother

Mother is getting expanded.

Book still to be revised:
Two Christmases

Mother and Two Christmases will stay out of stores until the work is complete. I don't want anyone to unknowingly buy the series half new and half old.

Obviously, once all this is complete, the series Collection Set will also get the new book versions. The old set is currently for sale still.

Any questions?

Finally back on Google Play!

GP changed how things must be done in early April and my books disappeared for 6 weeks while my distributor worked it out. 

Now, we're back, but with all new links. 

If you left a rating or review in the past, you'll need to do so all over again. (I know, it's inconvenient and sucks. Google's fault.)
