    Queen of Foxes US/CA special edition:

    Don’t miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run in the U.S. and Canada only, a must-have for any book lover.

    When a master thief attempts to steal a world-changing relic, she is forced to confront her forbidden power?and the man determined to kill her for it, in the new Robin Hood-inspired romantasy from NYT bestselling author Jennifer Estep.

    More info about Queen of Foxes:

    Queen of Foxes focuses on Rinley Renard, a master thief and dryad who can communicate with sherwood and other trees, plants, and flowers. When her mysterious benefactor tasks Rinley with stealing a priceless relic, she is forced to return to her home kingdom of Feronia, which was conquered by the Caligan Empire thirteen years ago.

    Standing in Rinley’s way is Prince Zoren Dreiko, a decima with powerful fire magic. Zoren is also a Dread Knight who has been ordered to hunt down a forest outlaw who is stirring up a rebellion against Prince Jon Dreiko, the Caligan overlord who rules Feronia with an iron fist.

    Neither Rinley nor Zoren expects—or wants—the unexpected attraction that flares between them. The dryad and the decima are natural enemies, but their hearts say otherwise . . . 😉

    There will be three books in the series. I am doing a happy dance about the cover art. Thank you for reading! ❤️

    Monday Morning Mailbag — What I’m working on this winter …

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG

    Question: What are you working on right now?

    Answer: A new year means new book projects. Woot! 😎

    Here is what I will be working on this winter:

    • Right now, I am working on revisions for my Robin Hood-esque romantasy book. That will probably take me about 3 weeks (or most of January) to finish.
    • After that, I will probably start working on the copyedits for Galactic Bonds #6. That’s another 2- to 3-week project.
    • And then I need to start working on my latest draft of the second book in my Robin Hood-esque romantasy series. That’s another project that will take me at least a few weeks to finish.

    So my writing schedule for January through March (and beyond) is already full, and this doesn’t include all the other things I do on a daily/weekly, like social media, updating my blog, newsletters, etc.

    As much as I love writing, it’s always a little stressful juggling multiple books/series and trying to meet all the deadlines. 😅

    MY MOST RECENT BOOKS:

    In case you missed it, here are my most recent books, which were released last year:

    • A Touch of Treachery, Section 47 book #3: This is a full-length book with Charlotte Locke and Desmond Percy. The super-spy couple are hot on the trail of their nemesis, but their mission quickly goes sideways.
    • Only Rogue Actions, Galactic Bonds #5: This is a short book (about 55,000 words) about Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren. The two are training to learn more about their truebond when they are targeted by a new villains

    Both books are available in ebook, audio, and print from all the usual retailers. Thanks for reading! ❤️

    What books are you all working on or reading right now? What’s on your agenda for the cold winter months?

    New year, same old resolutions …

    Happy New Year! I hope everyone’s 2026 is off to a great start. 😎

    It’s time to talk about New Year’s resolutions, but mine are usually the same from one year to the next:

    • Work less and spend more time with family/friends
    • Read more books for fun and/or read at least 50 books this year
    • Eat healthier/exercise more
    • Try new things/mark things off my bucket list (this includes everything from trying new restaurants, to taking day trips to places I’ve never been before, to going on longer trips to places I’ve never been before)

    Some years, I do better at these than others, especially the whole work-life balance thing. I tend to have way more work than fun. But it’s all about progress, not perfection, right? 😂

    What are some of your resolutions for the New Year?
