I’ve been busy over the past couple of weeks. Mostly with the release of Virtually Guarded, book 1 of the new Virtual Haven Pack series, which came out on Thursday, Sept. 10. So far, some readers are loving the story of transgender werewolf Ren Torres and his mate, gentle giant bodyguard Xavier Pelly. Some readers READ MORE

How My Universe Works
(Or…Welcome to the Karennaverse.) I was thinking about all the characters I’ve created for my werewolf books, and how many of them could spin off into their own stories. As of the last time I actually counted, I have somewhere around 400 *named* characters across all of my werewolf books. That includes a few who READ MORE
Cover Reveal: Virtually Guarded (Virtual Haven Pack book 1)
In September, I’ll be launching a brand-new series, and I have the cover art to show off today! Virtual Haven Pack is a direct spin-off of Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat, revolving around the admin team and members of an online video/text-based support group for LGBTQ+ werewolves. The groundwork for the support group (and, on READ MORE
How I Spent My Weekend
On Wednesday night, I set myself the goal of spending the next 5 days (Thursday-Monday) going through the notes in the manuscript I’d just gotten back from my amazing beta reader and editing the manuscript according to the notes and to whatever I noticed that needed to be edited. After a conversation with my beta READ MORE
Overwhelmed
Sometimes life is just a lot. I live with depression and Complex PTSD, which can make even a little feel like a lot sometimes, but then there are stretches like the one I’m currently in, when I have a bunch of different things I need to do and can’t seem to organize my time and READ MORE
So, here we are…
I haven’t been blogging recently because there have been a lot of things going on. Some good, some not so much. But also, when I sit down to do a blog post, or a newsletter, or even a social media post, I’m battling my own brain sometimes. Executive dysfunction leads to me sitting at the READ MORE
Titles Are Hard
Book titles are HARD. And this is another of my ridiculously long posts; consider yourself advised. My Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat book titles have a theme; every title references a vegan food, because one of the main characters is the world’s only(?) gay vegan werewolf. The title theming has caused some people to either READ MORE
Almost Release Day! And More Covers…
Only 5 days until I release Future and Past (Ebb & Flow 2)! I’m really excited about this one, and I’m looking forward to seeing what readers think of the continuation of Quinn and Malachi’s story. The book description: At 130 years old, lone Nova Scotian werewolf Malachi Powers never intended to find a mate, READ MORE
And more of more…
Last week, I posted about all the work I’d done remaking the covers for the Ebb & Flow series books, including the freebie short story Heart and Home (which you can sign up to receive on my free story page), and I posted the covers. And then, based on further feedback, I decided those covers READ MORE
New Cover!
Now that I’ve sent out the newsletter cover reveal for Storm and Shelter (Ebb and Flow 3), I wanted to share the cover here too. I’m pretty happy with this cover, especially the necklace on “Quinn.” That necklace is actually mine; I took a picture of it and used the GIMP graphics program to clip READ MORE
