    Pre-order the audiobook for A Sense of Danger, Thursday, Nov. 12 …

    I’m thrilled to share the cover art and pre-order links for the audiobook for A Sense of Danger, Section 47 standalone, Thursday, Nov. 12.

    A Sense of Danger is an Audible Original book. That means that it will ONLY be available as an audiobook for the first six months is it released. So you will ONLY be able to get the audiobook on release day, Thursday, Nov. 12. I will be self-publishing the ebook/print books at a later date, probably in summer 2021.

    The cover art was done by the awesome Tony Mauro, who also does the cover art for my Elemental Assassin series.

    A SENSE OF DANGER DESCRIPTION:

    A SPY…

    My name is Charlotte Locke, and I’m an analyst for Section 47, a secret government agency that tracks terrorists, criminals, and other paramortal bad guys who want to unleash their abilities on an unsuspecting mortal world. I have a magical form of synesthesia that senses danger and uncovers lies—making me a stealthy operative.

    I’m trudging through another day when one of Section’s cleaners—assassins—takes an interest in me. I don’t need my synesthesia to realize that he is extremely dangerous and that he will do anything to achieve his goals—even if it means putting me in the line of fire.

    …AND AN ASSASSIN

    I’m Desmond Percy, one of Section 47’s most lethal cleaners. I’m also a man on a mission, and I need Charlotte Locke’s skills to help me keep a promise, settle a score, and kill some extremely bad people.

    Charlotte might not like me, but we’re stuck together until my mission is over. Still, the more time we spend together, the more I’m drawn to her. But at Section 47, you never know who you can trust—or who might want you dead.

    A Sense of Danger is told in first person from the viewpoints of both Charlotte Locke and Desmond Percy. Helen Laser is the narrator for Charlotte, while Rupert Channing is the narrator for Desmond.

    As of right now, this book is a stand-alone adventure, although if it does well, then I might write some more Section 47 books.

    I hope everyone enjoys the audiobook when it is released. Happy listening! 😎

    Karma Girl, Bigtime superheroes #1, on sale for 99 cents …

    Karma Girl, book #1 in my Bigtime paranormal romance series, is on sale for 99 cents. Woot!

    Karma Girl was my very first published book back in 2007. It’s a fun, zany, over-the-top superhero spoof, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

    KARMA GIRL DESCRIPTION:

    Investigative reporter Carmen Cole gets the surprise of her life on her wedding day when she discovers that her fiancé and best friend are sleeping together—and that the two of them are her town’s resident superhero and ubervillain. Shocked and hurt, Carmen reveals their secret identities and then decides to devote her life to unmasking every superhero and ubervillain who crosses her path.

    A series of successful unmaskings lands Carmen a job at The Exposé, one of the biggest newspapers in Bigtime, New York, a city that’s full of superheroes and ubervillains. Carmen is in her element—until she gets kidnapped by the Terrible Triad, Bigtime’s most dangerous ubervillain team.

    The Triad orders Carmen to uncover the secret identity of Striker, the leader of the Fearless Five, Bigtime’s most popular superhero team—or else they’ll drop her in a vat of radioactive goo. With that threat hanging over her, Carmen sets out to unmask Striker, but what she doesn’t count on is falling for the sexy superhero. But with the Terrible Triad lurking around, this is one story that just might be the death of her….

    Last Strand, Elemental Assassin #19, March 16, 2021 …

    I have some updates about Elemental Assassin #19. And the title is … drumroll please … Last Strand.

    Huzzah! I like the title a lot. Mainly, because I came up with it. LOL. Sometimes, I have a hard time coming up with a title for a new Elemental Assassin book/story just because I feel like I’ve used all the “spider” related words a dozen times. But Last Strand just sort of popped in my head one day, and I thought it was a great title. I hope you all agree.

    As of right now, I am planning to self-publish Last Strand on March 16, 2021. It just depends on how my other writing deadlines shake out. And please do not tell me to write faster. I find that very annoying, especially given my writing-related health issues.

    The awesome Tony Mauro is doing the cover art again, with Alexa Martino as the model for Gin.

    I will be self-publishing an ebook and a print book. I’m hopeful that there will be an audiobook, but we’ll see what happens.

    Last Strand will be the last book in my Elemental Assassin series – for a while, at least. I’m swamped with deadlines for my new Gemma Ripley trilogy and some other projects, and I need more of a work/life balance. Plus, I’d like to write some Elemental Assassin novellas from the points of view of some of the secondary characters, like Lorelei Parker. We’ll see what happens.

    I’ll share more updates as they become available. Thanks! 😎

    Some of Jennifer’s upcoming projects …

    Here are a few of my upcoming book projects:

    The Beauty of Being a Beast short story — October 2020

    My story will first appear in Von Flusshexen und Meerjungfrauen (aka “River Witches and Mermaids”). This is a fairy-tale-themed short story anthology that will be released in German in October 2020. I will self-publish the story in English later on, probably in spring 2021.

    Here is a look at the anthology cover art. Isn’t it gorgeous? I love the colors.

    My 7,000-word story (about 25 pages) is a feminist take on Beauty and the Beast. That is one of my favorite fairy tales, and I enjoyed putting my own twist on the story.

    Elemental Assassin #19 — Spring 2021

    I’m hoping to release the next Elemental Assassin book in spring 2021. The book is (mostly) written, and I’ve started the self-publishing process, but things are taking a lot longer than usual, due to the pandemic.

    Capture the Crown — Gemma Ripley/Crown of Shards World #1 — Summer 2021

    This is the first book in a new trilogy set in my Crown of Shards world. The new trilogy will take place 15 years after the events of Crush the King, Crown of Shards #3, and will focus on Gemma Ripley, the crown princess of Andvari, and her gargoyle Grimley (from Protect the Prince).

    As of right now, the first book is called Capture the Crown, although that could change. The series name has not been finalized yet either. 

    Note: I have a few other publishing projects in the works. I’ll share info on them as soon as I can. Also, please note that these dates are TENTATIVE and could change at any time, due to my writing schedule and various publishing whims (including the pandemic).

    Thanks for reading! 😎
