I'm pretty pumped about my first book to be published through Hollows Hills. So what is it about? Horror, fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, and more come together in a mesmerizing collection hitting your favorite online book sellers on July 27th, 2018. 

Here is the synopsis:

Stories may include princesses, talking birds, alien species, magical items, terrifying creatures, cyborgs, or assassins. You’ll get your fill of thrills and chills.

As if that isn't exciting enough, you are all invited to a party. That's right, you! Come join us on release day for our Facebook event Madness, Magic, and Mayhem. Games, teasers, and giveaways galore! Whew, I haven't done a FB event in quite some time and I fully intend to let loose and have a blast. I hope you stop by for some fun.

Meanwhile, drop by your favorite store and pre-order Tantalizing Tales of the Horrific and Fantastic. It has a bit of something for everyone. The universal link is here. Have a great weekend, readers.

Stay tuned for news on another upcoming release from Hollow Hills that features another brand new short story from yours truly.

I'm Not Dead. Yet.

Hello everyone.
No, I haven't died, though it does kind of feel like it. You haven't seen a book review post from me in some time because I took a long break from reading. I haven't read any new indie books in months, in fact.
Until now. This month I am trying to play catch-up and get through books that have been on my actual shelves or in my Kindle library for far too long. I have read two indie books so far, and hope to get through at least three more before the month is up. 
I can do this!

Meanwhile, holidays are coming and if you need a warm read on a cold night, I have a few suggestions. 
If you are looking for something a little dirty, try A Naughty New Year's Eve by yours truly. Hot sex between two vampires will be sure to melt the ice outside your window. Purchase links are in the sidebar.

If you are looking for something more wholesome for your holiday season, try Winter Wishes of the Heart by my alter ego, Ashley Uzzell. These four short stories are all kinds of sweet. Available November 30th, here are the pre-order links:
Amazon, Books2Read (includes B&N, iTunes, Kobo, etc.), and don't forget Goodreads.

Both books are only 99¢. Okay, now that I am done with my shameless self-promotions (If I don't do it, who will?) I can say Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
And as always, happy reading!

Amazing Things to Come!

Magical things are coming your way! Well, magical and science fiction-y. I will soon be publishing another book of short stories. These stories will contain fantasy or sci-fi elements, or sometimes both blended together. This will be my tenth published work and I am excited to bring these tales to life in the pages of a new book. Here is a teaser with a little sneak peek into "Four Items," a tale in Cyborgs and Sorcery:

Also coming your way early this year is an erotic thriller set in the 1930s. The Blood Files: The Case of Arnus Mortem is the first of a trilogy of horrific short stories co-written by myself and the wonderful B.J. Taylor. 

Vampires running loose in San Francisco? Who better to investigate than a pair of P.I.'s? When Randall and Penny are given a missing person's case, they don't realize the true monsters behind what's going on are no mere mortals. Soon, they find out just how far the vampires and their minions will go to wreak havoc and destruction on the city. Can two humans save the day or will America be overrun with the undead?

I hope you are ready for some thrills and chills this year, friends. More amazing things to come!

Spooky, Creepy, Frightening Fun!

Hello, ladies and gents!
I'm excited to tell you about a new release I have coming out tomorrow. Headstones and Dead Bodies is a book containing two short horror stories. That's right, I am ready for Halloween early this year. 
Here is the short synopsis:

Two short stories to make your skin crawl.

A teen takes a dare that soon becomes a nightmare.

An innocent young boy traveling with two coffins is more than meets the eye.

Sure to make you squirm!

Woohoo, scary story time!
To celebrate it's release on September 30th, I am having a release party on Facebook. Myself and other awesome indie authors will be hosting an event that will be sure to please horror fans. Come on by, have a few scares, and maybe win some prizes!

Dead Things, the release party for Headstones and Dead Bodies

Cover Reveal for Upcoming Release!

In keeping with my new policy of putting out a book every three months, (Yes, I made that up.) I have the first book of a brand new series coming out on January 1st, 2016.
Now my followers know that I usually stick to romance but branched out a bit with my short story collection last month. Well prepare yourselves, people! 

Threads of A Web is book one of a science fiction/horror series that is quite unlike what I have written so far. In fact, this material is far older than anything I have published! I started taking notes for this book back in 2008 after having some intense dreams about vampires. After years of a love/hate relationship with the characters, I finally think I am ready to send it out into the world. It is both terrifying and glorious to know that something that has so much of my soul embedded in it will finally be released from it's cage to fly amongst others. 

Be warned! This is 18+ material here, and I don't mean naughty sex scenes either. My characters experience emotional and physical traumas that are not for the weak of stomach. On the other hand, the bonds and friendships formed throughout the story between this diverse group of creatures may call forth feelings of an entirely different nature.

This is a sister series to Some By Day, Some By Night so you may recognize a few characters popping in and out of the Lord Gerard's Coven series. (For example, what was Serahfine like before she met Dmitri? What becomes of Artus and Alexus?) Though each book, and series, can be read separately, back stories and further explanations for certain characters' situations will be found in both so honestly, just read them all!


Anywho, here is the blurb for Threads of A Web:

Marla has recently been changed into a vampire and she finds that a life of murder and bloodshed suits her just fine. Especially since there is a secret war between the vampires and the humans raging around her. Killing humans for money was her job when she was one and now killing them for fun is justified in her eyes.

Making close friends and becoming part of a coven was unexpected and soon Marla finds herself torn between her old ways of murder and mayhem and a new side of herself that only wants to kill to protect her dear friends. She has found a family at last. But can she keep them?

Just when things seem to be looking up for the coven, an alien race invades Earth, intent on exterminating humans and vampires alike.
Will the vampires defend the humans who have hunted them for decades? Can this invading race be eliminated before the entire coven is destroyed?


Take a gander at this gorgeous cover that Julie Nicholls created. Isn't it stunning? She is so talented.

If anyone is interested, I have Advanced Reader Copies (ARC) available for those who would like to read it before it is released, with the promise of giving an honest review within two weeks of the release day. 

I'm hosting an awesome Facebook party for the release of Threads and everyone is invited! Though release day is still a ways off, the giveaways and teasers have already started. I'm giving away free paperbacks and e-books and all kinds of cool swag so drop by and get Stuck In A Web On New Year's Day!

New Cover, New Book

Hello my lovelies!
I'm very excited to tell everyone about the new cover Julie Nicholls has created for me for my vampire romance short, The Life She Didn't Take. Check it out, it is so gorgeous!

Isn't it beautiful? Serahfine is exactly how I have always pictured her. Come follow her journey from despair to dawning hope and find out what makes this redhead so feisty! The Life She Didn't Take is still 99 cents on Amazon!

In other news, I am currently editing and formatting a collection of short stories that I plan on publishing in November. No set date yet but hope to have it ready well before the middle of the month. This collection will include tales of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Most have unexpected surprises in store if you dare to read them! I'm really excited to finally publish stories in a different genre. Though the title is still cooking, stay tuned for more information in upcoming posts.
Happy October guys!

New Release This Friday!

Well, it isn't brand new. It's a re-release, actually, but it's the first time I'm releasing it all on my own. Here's the deal:

In 2012, my erotic short story The Life She Didn't Take was published through a small publishing company under my pen name Marie Krepps. Then the rights reverted back to me. Now it's back and better than ever with a new cover and an extended story. Another exciting new feature: for the first time, it's available in paperback!

Here's the blurb: Serahfine has walked these streets time and time again. Endless centuries alone have her longing for death's release. But on this night when she means to end it all, she meets someone who intrigues her.
Is this a chance encounter or destiny?
Can an ageless vampire truly find happiness with a mere human?

The release date for The Life She Didn't Take is set for July, 31st, 2015. I'm super excited to get this one back out there and to actually be able to purchase my own physical copy! 
This story is a part of a series of vampire shorts and novels called Some By Day, Some By Night. At this time, I have one novel and a few more shorts planned for the series but who knows how long it could end up being? 
This is a very complex vampire world that will end up spanning a few different genres, especially it's sister series Lord Gerard's Coven. I can promise you, you've never seen vampires exactly like these. That's right, prepare yourselves for much more to come from Marie Krepps!

So this Friday, visit my Facebook author page or my website for more info on how to get your copy of The Life She Didn't Take. 

Oh yes, we're also having a Facebook release party on Friday and everyone is invited! Some wonderful authors are hosting and it's going to be an evening of fun games, naughty discussions, and prizes! Stop on by and you might even get a sneak peek of the story straight from the pages of The Life She Didn't Take!
