Fierce Dancer is the ninth and final book of the 82nd Street Vandals series. If you have not read the first eight, stop. Do not pass Go. Grab book one: Savage Vandal, and start there.

Seriously.

This is a series that really must be read in order.

Every series has a beginning, middle, and end. Some we can see coming, some ambush us. This one? This one came to life and flourished on its own. Some pieces were incredibly clear, others were a mystery—a genuine mystery—until I found out what happened right alongside the characters.

Did I know every twist and turn the story would take? Yes. And no. Some of it was organic, other pieces were guideposts, set into the bedrock. I knew when we reached them, we would be at turning points in the overall story.

Now… we’re here. The last book. So much went into the writing of this book, this whole series that it feels almost surreal to say this is the last one. From the first moment their story presented itself to me, I was lost in their world. Every dark and gritty moment has held me captive as the story unfolded. Now, with the war raging and the Vandals having lost so much, it’s time for Fierce Dancer, our final installment.

As we celebrate today’s release, I’m in Sydney, Australia. I spent all of last week in New Zealand, falling in love with that country and now I’m here in Oz, getting ready for BABE – the Ballgowns and Books Event in June.

So much to see, do, and research. That, however, is a tale for another day. Literally and figuratively. Be sure to scroll down for a few pics of my adventures as well as the first look at Party Crashers, we revealed the cover over the weekend. Book Three of Blue Ivy Prep will be released at the end of June.

Even as we celebrate the last chapter of the Vandals, we are diving on to the next chapter in KC’s life and we have the Bay Ridge Royals to look forward to. More on them soon.

For now, I want to thank you for reading. Thank you for rooting for the Vandals. Thank you for being so invested in their story.

I’ll see you on the flip side.

Are you ready for it? The cover for Party Crashers is here and my hat is off to Stephanie Heinritz from Vicious Desires Design once again for the loving attention to detail. KC was on Problem Child, Jonas was on Mad Boys, and for Party Crashers? Ramsey Malone is here to stay.

The model is Chad Hurst by photographer Michelle Lancaster. It’s hard to express how excited I am to share this cover with you as we count down the days until the release of the final 82nd Street Vandals book Fierce Dancer (May 23, 2023)!

Our countdown for Party Crashers is ongoing and the book will be released June 27th!  Are you ready for more of KC, Torched, and the Douchebags Three?

Blurb:

From the moment I learned she was coming to our school, I had a gut feeling it would end in disaster. Out of all the schools in the world, why did Kaitlin Crosse have to choose ours? Her presence confused my brothers and created tension between them, but I soon realized my initial assumptions about her were completely wrong.

It was me who possessed the flaws of being wild, arrogant, selfish, inconsiderate, and foolish. My bad judgment call in the midst of the school’s scandal may have destroyed everything I wanted.

As the world tears Kaitlin apart, my brothers and I find ourselves trapped in a web of lies. Our mother despises her, and even our stepfather’s allegiance is uncertain. Kaitlin trusts no one, and who can blame her?

But I refuse to wait for her forgiveness or return. If I want her, I have to take action. Kaitlin needs me, and now, I know I need her too.

All of us do.

It’s that time! 8 books, with the 9th right around the corner, almost a million words (and it will be a million when we’re done) and it’s time to share the cover for Fierce Dancer, the 9th and final book in the 82nd Street Vandals brings us full circle back to Emersyn. While Emersyn appears on the cover of the first book in the series, we do not see her face. We see the image everyone else sees. On Fierce Dancer, we see the woman she’s become, the survivor, with all the confidence and strength she’s demonstrated throughout the series. There might also be a surprise tattoo revealed on the cover.

I am, beyond excited to share this cover with you. The book itself is almost finished and it will be in your hands before you know it. Even as we prepare to say farewell to one series, another is waiting in the wings. Be sure to keep an eye out for more information on Battle Lines, releasing in September. And if you haven’t had a chance yet, pick up Billionaires and Babes, a charity anthology that will be available for a limited time. The anthology features Shamelessly Loyal, a 82nd Street Vandals/Bay Ridge Royals novella that takes place during Dirty Devil and Brutal Fighter.

Welcome to book eight of the 82nd Street Vandals series. If you have not read the first book, stop. Do not pass Go. Grab book one: Savage Vandal, and start there.

This is a series that really must be read in order.

Reckless Thief picks up immediately where we left off in Merciless Spy.  I can’t believe we’re here, the penultimate book in the 82nd Street Vandals series. So much to share with you, so I’m going to keep this letter short and sweet. We’ve actually got two releases this week, because if you haven’t grabbed it yet, you need to dash over to Amazon to get the Billionaires and Babes anthology.

This antho is released as part of the Ballgowns and Books Event in Sydney, Australia which kicks off in June. I’m so excited to be heading to the other side of the planet to meet readers, see a country I’ve loved from afar, and generally have a good time. This charity anthology featuring a selection of BABE 2023 attending authors is designed to give BABE attendees a brief introduction to these authors and their stories.

All stories within are brand new content, or otherwise unavailable anywhere else. They’re short stories, novellas, and prequels which don’t require any prior knowledge of the author or characters within. These stories are a broad range of romance, from high heat to closed door, and some will end on cliffhangers. All profit from the BABE 2023 Anthologies will benefit the Hawkesbury Helping Hands charity. These ebook editions will be withdrawn from sale in July and physical copies are only available at BABE 2023.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be a part of it. Read all the way to the end to find out what novella of mine you can find in the anthology.

Don’t forget to grab Reckless Thief and don’t worry about that cliff at the end–Fierce Dancer, the final book of the series will be here before you know it.

Happy reading!

Are you ready for the cover reveal for the penultimate book in the 82nd Street Vandals? Can you believe we’re at the penultimate book already? In so many ways it feels like we just got started but here we are, as promised, we’re finally getting a good look at Mickey “Doc” James. He’s another character that walked into the story and settled in to stay. You gotta love these guys, at least I do.

Also a quick audio update for those of you waiting for Merciless Spy on audio, we have it back and it’s being proofed right now! So we’ll hopefully have it ready to upload very soon!

Are you ready to get a sneak peek inside the pages of Mad Boys?

Jonas

“Just fix your tie,” Lachlan snapped at me. Mom hadn’t let us know they were coming. We probably wouldn’t have known if Ramsey hadn’t woken us up with the news. Now, he and Lachlan were both glaring at me to hurry up.

All I’d done was back-to-back exams, papers, and projects for the last three weeks. KC and I had nearly been paired on a project, but the teacher decided to make them individual. Probably better.

She hadn’t spoken to me since the day of the fight. She barely even looked at me. When she did—well it was like I wasn’t there. This morning, however, the music had been posted to my door with the lyrics added. I’d been sitting and reading it, trying to process when Ramsey showed up.
