I’m delighted to share the second cover I have for FLAME IN THE FOREST… the luxe hardcover edition!
New Character Art & Kickstarter Updates
Look at this gorgeous new character art by ithurielle!
I’m sharing reveals over on the Kickstarter, including this dust jacket and this art.
Next week, I’ll be sharing the map and the first chapter sneak peek.
I’m planning to launch the Kickstarter sometime in October…
Here’s a snippet from one of the early chapters:
Falling in love. How ridiculously selfish. That had never been her destiny, and yet here she was discovering that she’d somehow held out a slim hope for romance. Perhaps she was the optimist of the three of them.
Vesta did not believe in giving up in a fight, though. Not when people were dying, not when lives were on the line, even if it meant bending the rules—or breaking them.
Unfortunately, it would be her own life on the line now. But Isha was right, she had her battle strategy. It would not be an easy fight, wooing the Wolf Lord.
What would be the chances she could love a man she’d never met, whom her father had chosen for her? And that that man could also love her?
A snowflake had a better chance of surviving a volcano.

The “back of the book” details:
Princess Vesta of the Emberlands had never met a problem she couldn’t solve with her sword — except getting married.
The Wolf Lord of the Viridian Grove has grown desperate in his fight against a monstrous, undead horde and has asked Vesta’s father for help. And he’s gotten his help—for a price. Her father gets an ancient artifact of great power, and the Wolf Lord gets… her.
The problem? Her father is lying about her supposed fire magic powers, and the stories her people whisper in the dark about the wild shifter druids make her wonder what price she will pay for her father’s betrayal.
Her new husband is nothing like the rumors, though. He’s intelligent, principled, respectful, and, to her growing frustration, much too busy for her. Her new home glows with breathtaking beauty, a wild and natural splendor mirrored in her new husband. If only he would have her.
But the Wolf Lord knows that caring for someone is a recipe for getting hurt. Whether or not he enjoys her company, what they have can’t last. Once they save his people, they can be free of each other. If they survive that long.
Can Vesta win the Wolf’s heart? Can she kindle an ancient magic to protect the forest? Or will a rising ancient evil destroy the Grove first—and everything she loves along with it?
