Hello and wonderous day, my lovely minions of chaos!
Today is release day, and I’m so very excited for this one! After years of reworking Mórrígan’s Curse, it’s time to share it with the world. It’s dark, it’s funny, it’s chaotic, it’s emotional — it’s full of twists and turns you won’t expect. New friends, new allies, new conflicts — old enemies.
Prepare yourself for: action, love, grief, anger, vengeance, family, friendship, covens, ~magic~ and so much more!
All magic comes with a price.
Samantha Anders successfully forged bonds with her cousins, repairing her soul. But it came at a cost: she’s draining their lives. As Sam’s godling powers grow, her abilities become harder to control.
They’re not the only ones fighting to survive…
The Ravenhart curse is haunting Vincent. Grief is stirring dark feelings, driving him to fits of madness. With each passing day, his gruesome nightmares take him closer and closer to the edge of despair.
And a sinister voice invites him to give in…
With lives hanging in the balance, Team Sibyl will have to pay a price to keep each other safe, and the consequences threaten to unravel the Cosmos.

Say hello to your ~new~ little friend, releasing…
May 19th, 2025!
Darien Black wants revenge.
Ever since a Cardinal Sun Elite Hunter murdered his brother a month ago, he’s been searching for Rin’s killer. But the man is like a ghost, and Darien can’t seem to find him anywhere. With each passing day, the elemental voice of Water living in his veins urges him to give into the churning tide within and seek retribution, no matter the damage left in his wake.
High Priestess Serena of the Celestial Moon Coven is worried about her boyfriend Darien. He’s become distant and withdrawn, and she fears that Water will take him over and cause violent destruction, costing thousands of innocent lives. When she seeks advice from her patron goddess Selene, it’s Hecate, Goddess of the Crossroads, who responds. She warns that his heart is in danger.
If Darien can’t find the strength of heart to forgive himself and the man who killed his brother, the world will come to ruin.

Meet the covens. Battle your enemies. Prove your mettle. And pray to the goddess you survive.
Amazon has invited me to try the virtual voice beta audiobook program. This beta platform is by invite only, so I’m investigating the viability of this for future audiobook releases. I will be starting with Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals 1) to see how readers respond. If all goes well, the Born Elementals trilogy will be published in this audiobook format.
Some of you might be looking at me like *squinty face* “Elaborate on ‘virtual voice,’ Queen.”
Like Siri and Alexa, there are preset voice options to choose from. These are called “synthesized voices.” I’ve probably listened to each of the many, many options 30x apiece by now. (Hey, you can never be too careful when comparing timber to timber to timber when selecting the “perfect” voice to represent your characters). They each sound fairly natural, with the exception of a few — which I won’t be using anyway.
There is no anticipated release date for the audiobook at this time. I’m still in the “investigation” process. So until I’ve listened to the audio from start to finish, I can’t be certain of the quality. My main concern is whether or not there’s the option to add emphasis to certain words that are “stressed” with italics. Fingers crossed!
For anyone who isn’t fond of virtual voices reading books, I have a far, far, FARRRRRR off dream to have *real* voice actors narrate my books. However, I don’t have $5,000+ to produce even one of my books… And with eight books already published, and several more on the way… well. My Queenly ass be like “LOLOLOL I’ll go broke, yo.”
If I *do* secure a voice actor or two, y’all’ll be the first (second) to know.
I’m trying to hold out for this option when it comes to the main Light of Chaos series, simply because there’s so much nuance that’ll get lost in a virtual voice. Okay, okay — you caught me: It’s purely for the snark. The. SNARK! Y’all, have you read that shit!? I need irl people slinging that ‘tude while reading Sam and Jeph and Owen and —
*clears throat*
Anyway, that’s what I got for now. More to come later.
As always, welcome to the Chaos.
With love 🖤, Your Queen of Chaos

Want More Stuff to Set Your Heart Aflutter?
“Wait!!!! There’s MORE!?!?!? GO OFF, QUEEN!!!!”

I’ve partnered with over 200 Fantasy Romance writers to bring you this one-day-only FREE EBOOK PROMOTION that focuses specifically on *Fantasy* Romance genres: Paranormal Romance, Monster Romance, High Fantasy Romance, Modern High Fantasy Romance, and Historical Fantasy Romance.

So, for today only (February 3, 2025), you can follow this link to indulge your inner binge reader by downloading as many free ebooks as you want. I know I’ll be looking for some new authors (and I may have already found a few that I’ve been stalking while waiting for the sale to go live 😈). I hope you find some new favorites as well!

✨💅🏻✨
**(emoji pattern sparkle-nails-sparkle = me thinking I’m a baddie)**
**I also realize this aside will look really weird to anyone for whom the emojis don’t render correctly**
😅
Have I Stolen Your Heart Yet?
Remember how I told y’all that my editor had access to Coven Witch (Born Elementals 2)? Well… Let’s just say: I was right! The manuscript passed her editorial exam with flying hearts! As in: The manuscript really is almost ready to make its pending ✨debut✨.
Take that, Writing Hydras 🐉! Sneaky little asshats. You can’t hold me down! (I mean, you can. And you do. But I’m winning atm, so gargle these lady balls!)
😳 Oh. Hi, y’all. Didn’t see ya there…
Once the final edits are put in place, I’ll be peeling the hydras’ eyes for ARC victims 😎. I’ll also be battling them for finding time to create a signup form… But I’ll send out the info when everything’s ready. Then the selected victims will get a free Advance Reader Copy of the ebook in exchange for their honest review. 😇
To thwart future hydras from creeping up on me and delaying my #AuthoringAdventure again, I’ve created an editing and publication schedule for me and my editor to keep track of due dates. Hydras like to invade her life, too, so I’m hoping the schedule keeps us both on track in spite of any new hydra heads making an appearance.
Being a one-woman indie publishing house and an indie author is rough… pray to the goddess for each of us 🥹. We could really use all the Good Vibes. Especially her. Cus I’m not her only client, gods love her beautiful soul. And she’s my full-service editor AND publishing house.
Get that woman a drank! No! A massage. She needs all the massages.
In addition to the schedule, I’ve already created Amazon preorder pages for each title that will be published this year. They’re currently not available to the public. It’s a new-to-me feature, for one, but I don’t have cover art for those titles yet so I’m holding off on making them live.
I’m Missus Steal-Your-Heart
“👀 Queen, did you say EACH TITLE!? As in, there will be MULTIPLE books this year!?!?!?!?”
Indeed I did ✨💅🏻✨.
My goal is to release four new titles this year (three novellas and Light of Chaos # 5). Two novellas are just shy of being ready for formatting. One novella is making me pull my hair out by the roots. And Morrigan’s Curse is… well, I’ll be lucky to have any hair left. But I am DETERMINED to get y’all some quality reading for y’all’s TBR shelves.
Tentative publication months (subject to hydras):
🖤 April: Coven Witch (Born Elementals 2)
🖤 June: Morrigan’s Curse (Light of Chaos 5)
🖤 August: “Untitled” Novella (lol, I’m actually just keeping y’all in suspense. It has a title. But it’s part of an unnamed project, so I don’t want to spoil it just yet 😎)
🖤 October: Sibling Charm (Born Elementals 3)
One-two-three-four! I’ve just stolen each of your heart chambers!

Welcome to the first official Work-in-Progress Wednesday, where I’ll give you a look into the absolute chaos in my #AuthoringAdventure. For the most part, these will be brief updates about one of the plethora of WIPs that is currently making me pull my hair out by the roots. Each project is staring balefully at me from the depths of my Files folder, and I can feel their glares drilling through my soul…
To put that into perspective, I have over 20 drafted manuscripts made up of full-length, novella-length, and novelette-length WIPs. Over 15 of those are full-length, reaching over 130k words on average, with the longest being an outlier of 265k words.
I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in…
Moooooving on…
To do a quick review of my #AuthoringAdventure, I recently published my novella Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals # 1). Y’all have been beaten to death with updates about it, but I promise this quick summary is relevant. On March 1, 2024, I published an extended-length chapter that serves as an official epilogue to Elite Hunter. You can download the FREE chapter at the end of every new “purchase” of Elite Hunter on amazon.
If you downloaded the kindle prior to March 1, 2024, you will need to download the epilogue directly through this link.
Look for Elite Hunter in this March Madness promo link.
(I put “purchase” in quotes because the novella is free to download through amazon, currently only in USA markets. Use this link to download for FREE outside of the USA).
My plea to you: If you are in the USA, please download through amazon. Downloads through amazon increase my visibility to potential readers. As we well know, algorithms affect data across all platforms. Meaning, without engagement, your listings / social media posts / etc. might as well exist in the Void.
Please help me escape the Void… it’s dark in here.
Hoooh-Kay!
Relevance: I’m currently in the process of editing Coven Witch (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals # 2). Whee! Ahhhh! Such excite! Much anticipate!
This novella follows the events in Elite Hunter. A month has passed since the [spoiler] ending.
Darien’s out for blood, and Hell or High Water, he’s going to make it happen.
Concerned about her boyfriend being withdrawn from their elemental circle of friends, Serena prays to her patron goddess, begging for answers on how to help Darien. The foreboding response she receives leaves her unnerved.
It’s a race against the clock as Serena and Darien rush toward their goals: Save Darien from himself… before he gets himself killed seeking revenge.
Darien & Serena
~~Find the series page here for a sneak peek at the working book blurbs.~~
Due to unforeseen health issues that impacted my ability to edit, my original publishing timeline for this trilogy has been affected. Translation: My anticipated release schedule for the remaining 2 novellas has been delayed, with no current estimate on release date. Expect Coven Witch somewhere around autumn, at the earliest. If I can make some magic happen, maybe we can see it sooner…
The only other thing of note is that I’ve officially drafted a schedule for blog posts and newsletter updates. Look forward to various engagement posts/polls, writing prompts, character interviews, pet posts, in-progress teasers and/or silly snippets. There will be a “Special Feature” post each month that will have exciting content, from book reviews to author recommendations, pre-release announcements to ARC requests, cover reveals to—
You get the picture.
Welcome to the Chaos.
**Don’t forget, there’s still time to pick up free and discounted novels from Action & Adventure, Mystery & Suspense, and Horror authors! Use the promo link to browse selections. Promo ends March 31, 2024.**
With love 🖤, Your Queen of Chaos

Have you heard the news? My latest release, Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals # 1), is FREE to download. AND there’s now an EXCLUSIVE BONUS CHAPTER inside!? Say whaaaaaa!?
As Light of Chaos genius wardsmither Shanelle would say, “Gimme that man-on-man lovin’!” (Please note, she’ll have to contend with only one kiss. But it’ll still send her soul to the afterlife. “Feisty Mama’s love don’t discriminate!” 😇).
Meanwhile, Orin Black is still hyperventilating over that kiss and whether or not it’s cost him his best friend. His brilliant plan? Hide. Lucas Kelly is still trying to get Rin to talk to him, that “stubborn dumbass.”
Swoon alongside Shanelle by downloading the short story through this promo, where you’ll find books and stories from other authors as well! Featured genres: Action & Adventure, Horror, and Mystery & Suspense.
Elite Hunter (Light of Chaos: Born Elementals # 1)
Orin Black has a secret: He’s in love with his best friend. The problem? Rin’s closeted, and Luc’s aromantic and ace. Rin’s never seen Luc show interest in anyone in their eight years of friendship, so he doesn’t want to rock the boat…
…until he does.
Lucas Kelly wishes he could read Rin’s mind. Since their kiss last weekend—Luc’s first kiss—his best friend has been avoiding him. Now Luc is left with questions, and it doesn’t seem like Rin’s going to give him answers anytime soon. One thing’s for certain, though: He wants to give this a chance—if only Rin would stop ducking him at every turn.
But budding romance will have to wait.
The infamous Sibyl of legend is on the loose, causing mayhem in her wake, and if Luc can’t stop her, Rin will—or die trying.
(Please note that Elite Hunter is a dark urban fantasy action & adventure novel. Both Rin’s and Luc’s stories will continue in future novels. Look for them in the Light of Chaos series.)
While you’re at it, don’t forget to snagKing’s Chaos (Light of Chaos # 1) while it’s on sale for just $0.99! Main character Samantha Anders has already slammed the “Buy Now” button, leaving her long-dead ancient Egyptian BFF Phoenix rolling his eyes. “Really, Sam? You’re going to be that conceited?”
They’re still arguing about it while love-interest Jeph Michelson is halfway through the novel, tutting “Precious, Precious, Precious” in ecstasy every time Sam threatens him.
If that isn’t exciting enough, Hunter’s Mark (Light of Chaos # 2) is on discount! Save $1.00 for a limited time. Unfortunately, a guild report says Evander Hunter is trying to hide your copy somewhere (probably alongside Sam in his compound), too embarrassed to let you see it. Too bad Jeph’s a dick and shared it online anyway. “It’s a book, dumbass. They’re meant to be read.”
Even more exciting? If you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, Light of Chaos is FREE!
The Light of Chaos Series
Samantha Anders is known as the infamous Legendary Sibyl. Across millennia, the Magical Community has seen her as a threat to the world as they know it. To some, she’s a myth; to the guilds, she’s a danger.
Set in Seattle, Sam’s forced to duck and dodge guild Hunters as they ruthlessly seek to capture or kill her. She’s over their BS, considering she didn’t do anything wrong. So what if she can time travel? That’s not her fault. All it’s done is cause her trouble since the day she turned thirteen when her powers flared, dragging her back to ancient Egypt, where her persecution began.
As enemies become allies—and romance blooms—Team Sibyl will learn that their destinies are entwined and the fate of the world rests on their shoulders.
Too bad all the meddling gods keep making things harder…
***
Check out the series on amazon and start your binge-reading today! In fact, Jeph’s already finished the first 6 books and is glaring a hole through my soul while calling me some… inventive names… So long as he doesn’t take my head off, I’m safe, right…?
If you enjoyed these novels, be sure to rate and review! The best way you can support authors is by letting other readers know just how much you enjoyed them!

Hi all! Your unofficial Queen of Chaos here, saying, “sup?”
To start, let me introduce my fabulous self. Buckle in 😈.
31yo absolute fukkin’ delight of a human being who is aptly self-monikered the “Queen of Chaos.” I identify as 🏳️🌈 Rainbow Soup (aka too many to list) in the glory that is the LGBTQ+ community. I’m a self-published author who writes new adult dark paranormal romance, contemporary romance, high fantasy—you guessed it!—romance, and some really random-ass bonkers shit. I publish in the following categories: Action, LGBTQ+, Enemies-to-lovers, Gods (Greek, Egyptian, and Celtic), Magic, Mages, Witches, time travel, and more! (I’ve yet to publish my contemporary and high fantasy works, so please be patient with me 😅).
I have 7 books 📚 currently published, over 20 manuscripts written (which are staring at me balefully from the depths of my Files folders), and too many overlapping characters vying for space inside my head.
They’d invite you over for a party, but honestly, even I don’t like listening to them bicker inside my own mind, so…
I have an 8-ish year old cat named Boots. Bootsigus (for short 🤪) is a majestic being with toe beans who trills and screeches at Mommy when she isn’t “sitting on this damn floor in front of the wall heater with meeee!” Oh, and for his morning spoonful of wet food. He’s deceptively sweet, but he’s too much like his devious mother—but at least I’m not secretly a raptor plotting world domination.
Boots “helping” Mommy write.
I’ve got a BA in English, a minor in Writing, and a Masters in Library and Information Science. In other words: I’m a verbose creature with far too many questions, not enough answers, and I will literally go down a research rabbit hole for 2 hours+ because the answer I found to my original question 75 minutes ago perpetuated a snowball of THIS IS SO INTERESTING!
By day, I’m a Reference Librarian; by night, I’m a chaotic entity who probably needs to vacuum, do the dishes, and wash some damn socks because I’ve run out. My hobbies include eating, sleeping, binging anime, reading audiobooks on x3 speed, and pacing in circles trying to remember That Thing that I forgot… again.
Now, to business:
This is the start of my author blog where I’ll keep you up to date on my (chaotic) progress in my series, (badass) upcoming releases, (fantastic) sales, and more! Look forward to random-ass snippets, quotes, teasers, cover reveals, and free or discounted items. I’ll make book recommendations, gush over favorite authors, and “talk” your ear off… (I promise future posts will be shorter 😅).
A special shoutout to everyone who made this happen! And to those of you who’ve helped me achieve # 1 Bestseller in MULTIPLE categories for Elite Hunter in under 24 hours of publication. Y’all make my heart 🖤 soar and sing.
My debut novel, King’s Chaos (Light of Chaos # 1), is currently on discount for $0.99. Book 2 (Hunter’s Mark) is also on sale. Get it for $1 off! Be sure to read all novels and novellas in chronological order (Books 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5) to not miss out!
TL;DR – This is the start of my new blog! Also: I’m a chaotic human with a devious cat, and I just made # 1 Bestseller for the first time (and it’s all thanks to you wonderful humans!)
Welcome to the World of Chaos~
With love 🖤, Your Queen of Chaos
