Howdy folks, I know that I’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks, but I’ve been getting the last proofs and minutiae ready for the next book, and I am delighted to announce that my fourth God’s Wife novel, Daughter of Scorpions, is wrapped up and arriving at the internet storefront of your choice MAY 30, 2025! Come back to the gang in Ombos and Rome for more strong ancient women, imperial plots, and godly hijinks! My new girl Zosime should be dead, but so should her great-grandfather-turned-god, Augustus—can they stop historical villain Lucius Aelius Sejanus from toppling the Julio-Claudian emperors before their time?

🦂Ebook preorders are open on all my platforms except Amazon, who y’all know likes to punish me for only publishing my ebooks with D2D and not through KDP, but the Kindle ebook will be available on release day as always. All ebook editions will be available for my patented release price of only $2.99!

🦂Like with the release of The Gourd and the Stars, I am doing a hybrid paperback release with Daughter of Scorpions, so there is a D2D paperback edition available through non-Amazon retailers like Barnes & Noble, but there is also a KDP Amazon edition. They are otherwise identical—I’m just trying to provide all of you as many options as possible about where you purchase my books. Both paperback editions are $20, and both are available for preorder today if you’d like to get a jump on release day!

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!… Veteran readers know that I’ve traditionally run an ebook sale on earlier God’s Wife books when the next is released, and this release is no different. Starting TODAY (5/19/2025), and running through 5/29/2025, all the other books in the saga are on sale for only $1 each to both celebrate the release of Daughter of Scorpions and give everyone out of the loop the chance to catch up on the story so far. Check out the links below and grab the whole current series for only one cent more than the cost of #4!⬇️
