Beyond Romance

January 27, 2025

Hello all my peeps.

I had a nice week chilling with my family. Chilling with the continuing low temps and a little birthday celebration on Saturday. For me it was kind of a biggie. I've been circling the sun for half a century. I'm still adjusting to that concept. To keep it all in perspective one of my co-workers last week said that I have the sense of humor of a twelve year old boy. Not sure what that means for the next fifty. ONly time will tell.

So for all those out there surprised by the passing years. Hang in there. I get you. The mantra to live by will be... Act as old as you want to be. And... Life can't be measured until I clearly identify a midlife crisis. Until then I might still be immortal. (regardless of what my back says.)

Not much new on the farm except for some out of season eggs. One of my pea hens and a couple of the young turkeys started laying. Otherwise everyone is doing well. Just waiting for spring.

Writing and edits are all progressing well. This week is focusing on the Division Eight stories. Zeven is free and Deven and Quinn are both on sale for 99c each. Season of Giving is officially over. I gave away a little more than 3000 books. Hope you all took advantage. If you did, I hope you take a moment to rate and review. That's a big part of motivation that drives my writing mojo.

Did you know that I have a blog? I do and it's been up and running for a loooooong time. Though most recently I only post the weekly news there. But it does make it easy to comment on the news without sending me an email. Check it out at https://lshannon.blogspot.com/ and leave a comment if you like.

Read more and here's to the next fifty. (toast)

Division Eight: book three

Quinn Chasing a Butterfly

Vampires and werewolves don’t mix. Maybe this time they should.

Quinn LaFontaine

When a rampaging first-generation vampire threatens Quinn's territory and his adopted family, he'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it means fighting a man he once thought of as his brother. But confronting the danger alone becomes impossible when a powerful vampire hunter sets her sights on Quinn.

Madeline Jacks

After endless years hunting down vampires, Madeline is convinced that she can identify and stop the villain. But even if it turns out to be the vampire that has fascinated her for years, she’s determined to stop him no matter the risk. Even if he shatters her long-standing moral compass and shows her a whole new kind of vampire...

Considering how much they should be at odds, why is the chemistry between them completely off the charts?

If they can overcome their misconceptions and racial divides, Quinn and Madeline might be able to stop a murderer and uncover the happy-ever-after future they both thought was out of reach.

Quinn Chasing a Butterfly is the third and final book in the complete Division Eight trilogy and also part of the 50+ Beyond Romance Universe of stories. Quinn and Maddie's story is perfect for readers who love a strong heroine who is willing to go a little too far to get what she wants and heroes strong enough to do as they please and mature enough to forgive or offer support when needed.

Triggers and warnings: kidnapping (on the first page), drug use, family violence, discussions of suicide, dangerous family reunions, naughty babies, rampaging goats, and a perfectly chaotic, happy ever after kind of wedding.

Six Sentence Sunday (opening)

Madeline Jacks stared at the body lying at her feet. She’d planned out the attack perfectly and was happy to see that it had been successful. Taking out a powerful first-generation vampire wasn’t by any means an easy task. But then… why had it gone so smoothly?

A light flicked on inside the huge Victorian mansion.

She didn’t have time to worry about why it was going well when even a single mistake could lead to it going straight to hell.

On sale now for just $0.99!
