Now he is homeless, packless, and scared. But as awful as things are, they are better than going home and taking on the role he never wanted.

SERIES: The Jaguar of the Backward Glance #1
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 275 pages
RELEASE DATE: 6/30/2025
BLURB:
For tens of centuries, dual soul magic has endured, harnessed by an ancient king who sacrificed himself to the jaguar god. But conquest and extermination have crippled werekind. Feline shifters live in hiding, mostly solitary, and some are quietly uniting to avenge the atrocities of the past. The wereshaman, who know the sacred ritual to awaken the feline soul, are few, as are suitable subjects. A human must have a blood link to one of the five feline-worshipping tribes that now exist only in archeological artifacts and colorful myths. Feline shifters are on the brink of extinction.
None of this is known to Jacks Dowd, a twenty-one-year-old college senior who has never been able to put his finger on the reason he’s always felt so separate from other people. It’s something deeper than his gayness, though that made him an outsider in his papermill hometown in Pennsylvania and aggravated the dysfunction of his Evangelical family.
When he joins his roommates for a wild weekend in Montréal, he meets Benoit, a handsome drifter with magnetic charm and red flags galore. Their chance meeting plunges Jacks into the secret world of feline shifters, where he realizes he’s connected to ancestors who understood the power of cougar mysticism. But the world of dual soul creatures is fractured, violent, and constantly at risk of discovery by humans who would lock them up as freaks of nature. Jacks must learn how to survive, and as he’s pulled deeper into the struggles of his kind, he embarks on a breakneck adventure that will determine the future of both his shapeshifting brethren and humankind itself.

But when they’re forced to share an apartment, Cameron’s carefully built walls begin to crack. For a closeted freshman raised by strict religious parents, falling for his roommate was never part of the plan. Fox isn’t looking for complications either—but there’s something about Cameron he can’t ignore.

RELEASE DATE: 6/30/2025
BLURB:
Colin Levesque is at loose ends. He’s finished university, but has no career; he adores romance novels, but he’s crap at relationships; and his prickliness is a detriment at the café where he’s making ends meet. He also has a crush on his regular Dav, a homo draconis who comes in every morning to read his newspaper, sip his double-strong coffee, and stare longingly at Colin in return.
So it figures that the day Colin gets up the courage to do something about the sexual tension simmering between them, he also learns that Dav has an embarrassing habit of hiccupping fire when he’s nervous. Which, in this case, destroys the fancy custom-made bean roaster. When Dav volunteers to take over the coffee roasting with his fire-breath, being squished together in the hot, cramped kitchen leads to even hotter kisses.
Everything’s finally happening for Colin—until people start claiming the dragon-roasted coffee has cured their genetic ailments. As their budding relationship struggles under the scrutiny of scientists and media, the hype around the coffee leads the lovers to be inducted into a centuries-old conspiracy: dragon-roasted food has always healed humans. And the most powerful draconic nobles have been withholding this symbiotic advantage to keep themselves on top. Colin and Dav are determined to expose the truth, but if they’re not careful, their objections could goad power-mad monarchs into destroying everything they hold dear.
Including each other.

Enter Janskoller the warrior bard.
Janskoller has just returned to the Gemstone Kingdoms, drawn by stories of broken curses and lands open for travel. He doesn’t expect a pretty young mage to hire him as a bodyguard, but it’s a good gig for a bard—lots of adventure to fuel his stories, and plenty of travel to spread his fame. Besides, Nemirac’s passion and obvious secrets intrigue him.
But soon Janskoller realizes the peril of Nemirac’s goal—an end that puts the five kingdoms at risk and corrupts Nemirac into a darker, twisted version of the man Janskoller comes to care about. As the two grow closer, can Janskoller convince Nemirac to abandon his pursuit of power in favor of the deeper, more lasting magic of love?

AUTHOR: Zoe Storm
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 218 pages
RELEASE DATE: 6/30/2025
BLURB:
Being a knight in service of the Undying Emperor is not easy, especially for someone like Adrian, the Egg Knight: oppressing the people of the Empire is against everything he’s been taught, and if he could, he would kill the Emperor himself and bring his half-millennium reign to an end.
But the Emperor is not only undying, but unkillable as well, and no one who dared defy him has ever lived to tell the tale; Adrian himself has been a witness to several futile attempts on the Emperor’s life, each ending in complete failure. So he does the Emperor’s bidding and does his best to help the common people, but sorely wishes he could do more.
“Go and collect taxes,” the Emperor says, and Adrian goes and collects taxes.
“Go and put down the rebellion,” the Emperor orders, and Adrian goes and puts down the rebellion.
“Go and slay the dragon,” the Emperor commands, and Adrian goes and slays the dragon… or tries to, at least.
Because the dragon is no mindless beast, and harbours within his body an arcane, ancient secret, which could bring about unfathomable changes for the Empire… and for Adrian himself.

Clay
I suck at being a vampire—literally. When the Halloween Wave turned a third of the population into monsters, I thought I was one of the lucky ones. I get to have my fit twenty-year-old body for decades. And vampires are supposed to be sexy, right?
But now that I’m finally in university, I still don’t fit in. I was supposed to find myself and spread my metaphorical vampire wings. Yet, I’m not good enough to be an academic, and too inept at flying to hang with monsters like me. At least flirting with my new nerdy lab partner can be some fun in the meantime.
Owen
I can’t stand my lab partner. It’s not because he’s a monster—far from it, I find vampires attractive. But jocks don’t go for academics like me, especially airheads like Clay. We only need to get through this class.
Then one day we’re nursing an injured bat together, and Clay’s sweet, compassionate side rears its teeth. Despite my best efforts, this gorgeous bloodsucker has me enchanted. When he wants to learn to fly, how can I refuse? This jock keeps failing at taking to the sky, but I fear I’m the one that’s falling. A nerdy human like me dating a himbo vampire could spell a monster-sized disaster.

If Colton does the same and it doesn’t work, he’ll lose Pax, his best friend and the person who knows him better than anyone.

However, he didn’t only leave behind the breathtaking wilderness and solitude of Skye, but also his best friend, the boy he lost his heart to: Kieran Brodie.
Kieran is perfectly content with his life as a fisherman on Skye, with his large family, and the orange tabby cat he shares his little cottage with. He isn’t lacking anything, despite his Ma’s constant nagging to finally get married; or so he thinks.
Until Jamie, his childhood best friend, shows up again to attend his father’s funeral – and old feelings resurface.
All James ever wanted is to be with Kieran, but Kieran first has to figure out in what way he wants Jamie…

My first and never-ending crush.
Unrequited love is misery in disguise, especially when the recipient can’t ever feel the same, not when he’s a sociopath.

All of my other brothers have found their significant others. Now it’s my turn.
But is Uri meant to be mine, or are we destined to die side by side before we find out?

I should have been king of the ice in the paraprofessional league, but instead, I let my anger and bitterness get to me. Now I’m forced to claw my way back into relevance, starting with a community team.

And to make matters worse, I still want him. My bad attitude and attempt to drive him away doesn’t faze him at all, and the more I push, the more he pulls me back into the last place I want to be: his orbit.
All I want is to join the PPHL and prove to myself that I’m a worthy player on my own merit.
Lust wasn’t on the table. And neither was love.
But the closer I get to Hugo, the more I realize that I’m not sure I want to do this without him…and the more I realize I’m not sure if I can.

Maplewood is as wonderful and cliché as you’d imagine. Sure, the town gossips share everyone’s business, but neighbors look out for each other. Nowhere else would be as accepting of me as this queer-friendly small town I grew up in. The only problem? A lack of eligible bachelors. So when a gorgeous new guy moves to town, the Maplewood grapevine is in full swing, and this time, I’m paying attention. Though maybe not close enough, because Cody and I literally run into each other. I hit him with my body, he hits me with his boy-next-door smile, and poof, my heart’s gone. Too bad sexy, sweet guys like him aren’t really interested in guys like me. Once he gets to know me, he’ll change his mind.
Cody:
You’d think that moving to a small town named Maplewood means I’m prepared for maple-flavored everything. You’d be wrong. And the stuff is everywhere, so how do I tell my new neighbors that the taste makes me gag? That problem is solved when a misunderstanding has them believing I’m allergic. Sure, it saves me from eating any more maple. It also feels like I’m lying. I try to explain, but there’s no stopping the Maplewood gossip mill. Especially when the adorable photographer I almost trample fans that flame. But I can’t even be mad about it. Alex has this sweetness to him that pulls me in like gravity. And little by little, he’s letting me get close. Eventually, I’ll convince him to trust me, to give us a real chance. When he does, will that mean I’ll owe ‘us’ to that annoying maple mistake?
