A Season of Subterfuge, Courtiers, and Wars Councils Release Party


 No, you did not read that title wrong. Your eyes are not deceiving you. I did indeed finish SoS, and yup, yeah, it's published!!!!

I'm still essentially in shock over this. Pretty sure I'm probably dreaming becuase I thought so many times that there was no way I was ever going to actually finish this.

I published the first version of Time of Trepidation in 2016. Now bear in mind that I did republish both Week of Werewolves and Time of Trepidation, (WoW in 2017 and ToT in 2019), so I spent a lot of time on rewriting the first two books. But essentially it's been six years. Six years trying to finish SoS. And I've finally done it!

It ended up being over 600 pages long. And it has pretty much EVERYTHING going on in it. All of those things that have been slowly building up in the last two books comes to a head in this one. And just EVERYTHING happens.


Eastons are kissed.
Clint sasses literally everyone.
People nearly die.
People DO die.
Someone catches a cold.
Chelsea has at least three mental breakdowns.
Alexis was just amazing, okay? He can do no wrong.
Bobby is the voice of reason, as per usual.

The romance is strong with this one. Both old and new ships sail.

There's a lot of trauma. Also some assassination attempts. Oh, and a zombie king.
There's a dragon battle that has to be one of the most epic things I've written to date.

But most of all. The prophecies are fulfilled.


Thrust into a fight seven hundred years in the making, Chelsea and her friends find themselves against an immortal emperor. If they return the true heir of Ione to her rightful throne, then they will finally be free of the magical world of Amar. But that’s easier said than done. They will need the support of the other kingdoms of Amar if they hope to stand a chance at defeating Axius. But who would follow four kids into battle?

As assassins hound their every step, Chelsea and her friends struggle to find a way to call a War Council against Axius. Chelsea travels north to Renlain a land of dragons and secrets. With Easton as her only ally, she must learn to navigate a world where ballrooms are the battlegrounds and coy smiles hide deadly intents. And it seems that everyone with any amount of power wants them dead. As if having to constantly be on guard to avoid death via a poisoned drink or an assassin's blade is not enough, Chelsea also has to face her conflicting feelings for Easton.

Survival isn’t enough. They have to find a way to start this war. And they have to win it. Or else they will never get home. But victory will not come without a cost and to win they must sell their consciences. How far are they truly willing to go to complete this quest and get home?


BUT that's not the only bit of news I have for you. No, no, I have been quite busy this week. I've also opened up a Street Team, called Nicki's Dragons, and I'm hoping that you will join it. You can find out all of the details (including what exclusive goodies I am offering to street team members) and sign up here.

I have four (fairly good) reasons you should sign up for my street team:

1— Free books. All of my stories will be made available to street team members including stories that haven't even released yet

2— Soon this is going to be one of the only places you will be able to get my books for free. The other place being my newsletter which will occasionally be offered ARC copies as well. So, if you don't sign up for the street team definitely make sure that you sign up for my newsletter otherwise you're going to be missing out on so many opportunities. You can sign up for that here.

3— I'm running an exclusive giveaway for street team members. Everyone who joins my street team this month is automatically entered to win a signed print copy of Of Gold and Iron, as well as a coaster and an art print

4— It would make my day if you signed up :)

So, what are you waiting for?



And then as a final bit of news, two more of my books are available in audiobook now. A Time of Trepidation, Pirates, and Lost Princesses and Of Gold and Iron.

So, if audiobooks are your thing, I now have six works available in that format, you can purchase them through Audible. I also have a limited number of free codes that will be available to street team members if you would prefer that to an E-copy of my books.

So definitely check that out. And don't forget to sign up for my street-team, and snag your own copy of SoS while you're at it.
