Cover Reveal TREASURED

October 26, 2020 by SJ Leave a Comment

Cover by Sleepy Fox Studio

TREASURED

COMING SOON!

This is the EXPANDED version of the short story, A Caller from Montreal, that was in the Heart2Heart Charity Anthology Volume 4 that came out this past summer. There is added content and slight edits to the story. Blurb will likely change a bit before publication, will be updated with the final word count. Cover is by Kelley York of Sleepy Fox Studio!

Blurb:

Needing employment to help his ailing mother, Alaric Keening gets a job as a billionaire dragon’s clairvoyant. He never imagined his almost useless talent would ever become a marketable skill, and even worse–the sight of his new boss leaves him breathless. That was the worst, until the first day on the job, he finds himself nearly dying in the arms of his new boss.

Tarquin is a storm dragon, and he’s been alone for centuries. Fleeing the Great Wars, he sacrificed his old territory and made a new home in Montreal, collecting companies to fill the void left by the loss of his hoard. Running an international company in the magical world means needing a clairvoyant to protect his assets, and yet there is nothing to protect his heart when Alaric Keening walks into his office.

Between trying to keep Alaric alive and trying to find who’s out to kill Tarquin, they can’t deny the connection that goes far beyond that of a boss and his new employee–but that of a dragon and his treasure.

New Career Direction

September 3, 2020 by SJ Leave a Comment

I’ve created a new expanded universe that will encompass The Beacon Hill Sorcerer, Werewolves of Boston, and two new series within that universe. The Infinite Arcana Universe will contain series and standalone novels that all share the same world, same magic rules, and various supernatural species, talents, affinities.
I am moving most of my efforts into urban fantasy romance and will be staying there for the foreseeable future. I will still be writing the Realms of Love books (epic fantasy) and the next Wolfkin Saga book will be the last in that series. Once the Bred For Love series has been re-released, and Book Four of that series is out, I will be retiring from mpreg (officially.) Scales of Honor will continue as well.
I’m pretty much only going to be doing urban fantasy and epic fantasy once I tie off The Wolfkin Saga and Bred For Love.
I’m excited and I hope everyone enjoys the fine-tuning I’m doing to my brand and career going forward.

Announcement Regarding The Boys Club Series with Luna David

February 19, 2020 by SJ Leave a Comment

Friends, if you’ve been following me you know that lately I’ve had a few struggles with mental, physical, and pet health. It’s been exceedingly hard for me over the last few years with several difficult life events, and the last few months took me to a literal breaking point. As such, I’ve had to spend a lot of time re-evaluating where I want to spend my creative energies, and what’s best for my mental health.

Sadly, I will not be writing or releasing my daddy-kink series I was planning to co-write with Luna David. THE SWEETEST ACHE will not be released in any form, and my participation in our shared venture will come to an end.

My decision to cancel the book is recent as of this past weekend. My difficulties in writing the book are far older and have been present almost from the very start.

There have been months’ worth of soul-searching, contemplation, and discussion with Luna over options for writing the book, trying to avoid my eventual breakdown. Each plan forward that we came up with failed miserably, each a failure on my part; leaving me even more despondent and stressed out. I have done myself real, actual mental harm by trying to write this book, and even now, just thinking about it, leaves me ill and upset. This final decision to stop completely is mine alone, and Luna has graciously accepted my mea culpa and is willing to take over the series without me.

Luna David is an exceptional friend, author, and human being. I have let her down more than anyone else, and I wish that I had the insight and courage to be more honest with myself, and with Luna, when things first began to get so difficult. One of the reasons this went on for so long is it pained me to disappoint her, and that foolishness is my own fault entirely. I should have listened to what my brain and body were telling me sooner, and I should have spoken to Luna about what was going on with me years ago.

Luna and I remain great friends, and this splitting of ways only pertains to The Boys Club series. Our friendship remains the same, and I value her presence in my life far more than any royalties or reviews garnered from a book.

The Boys Club series will remain with Luna David, who will be taking over creative control, and the series will focus on her personal characters and plots. Any mention of the characters that I created will be adjusted to reflect Luna’s characters and plot points. This will be a minor change, and as readers have not been introduced in any real way to the characters I created, their removal will not affect or impact Luna’s book LET ME IN, or future titles in the series. The characters in my book had not been introduced to readers in LET ME IN aside from a bare mention of their names. Any changes to LET ME IN will be minor, as our books were designed to function as standalones in a shared universe, and my book’s absence will not negatively affect her current book or any books she writes in that series in the future.

I am deeply sorry for the disappointment, frustration, and bitterness this announcement might engender in fans of LET ME IN. I am sorry. Please support Luna as she takes on The Boys Club series and shapes it into something amazing and exciting. She has the talent and the drive and will do great things with the series. I wish her all the luck in the world, and I will be supporting her every step of the way.

Thank you all for your time,

Best regards,

SJ Himes
