Somnus' Palace: A Humorous and Romantic Alternate World Fantasy
Expected Publication Date: September 26, 2025
Genre: Fantasy/ Humorous
Tropes: Dreams; past, present and future; forgetting and remembering; love and choice.

Proto wakes up in the misty halls of the palace of Somnus, the Lord of Dreams. Why is he there? Who knows? But as long as he’s there, he’s been given a job—to visit sleeping people’s dreams and try to make sure they turn out properly. By guiding dreams to the right conclusions, Somnus and his crew of dream visitors help keep the world from going off the rails. During his adventures as a dream visitor, Proto fails, makes a fool of himself, and—against all odds—makes friends too. And maybe more than friends . . . ? It’s hard to tell. There’s something off in how people here are looking at him. There’s something he’s not understanding. And there are other things none of them understand—for instance, the ominous reddening of the skies and streaking lights that keep appearing in the dreams they visit. What’s coming for them? What’s coming for the world?

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "What About Now?" is an age gap, found family, drunken Vegas wedding, small town romance.

Brogan

I didn’t plan on hooking up with my new brother-in-law’s best friend… or marrying him.

Life hasn’t been easy, and it’s left me a little bruised, and a lot cautious. So, when I wake up in Vegas married to Maddox, I’m convinced it’s a mistake. A drunken accident that we should undo before anyone finds out.

But he doesn’t see it that way. He asks for six months. Six months to show me we could be something real. And I don’t know why I say yes, except maybe a part of me wants to believe him.

I’m not sure I deserve someone like him. But with every look, every touch, and every little gesture, Maddox is breaking down my walls.

That’s why the next time he asks "what about now?" I know I'm going to say yes.

Maddox

I always thought Brogan was off-limits. Our paths didn’t just cross, they tangled.

If things didn’t work out between us, it would hurt a lot of people. So I stayed in my lane, convincing myself it was for the best.

Until Vegas.

One too many drinks, a blurred wedding chapel, and a couple of shiny rings later, Brogan wakes up next to me… as my wife.

She’s ready to call it a mistake and move on, but I see it for what it is: fate handing me the chance I’ve been too scared to take.

So I make her a deal. Six months. I’ll prove we belong together, and if she still doesn’t believe it, we’ll walk away. No hard feelings.

But I’m not going down without a fight. Flowers, her favorite coffee—I’ll give her everything she never knew she wanted, including me.

And one of these times when I ask if she believes it yet that were meant to be, I just might get the answer I’m hoping for.

Because I’ve waited long enough to make her mine, and this time, I’m not letting her go.

#PreOrderBlitz for Fated To Be His by Bree Westland #TheIndiePenPR


 
  Blurb 
  Blair Beckett’s motto was simple. Family first. Protect the clan. And always shield his heart. He used to be the easygoing twin. Not any longer. Witnessing his brother nearly die fundamentally changed him. Some believe him to be the spare of the two. But he knows better. The clan would fall apart without his 24/7, tireless all-in mentality. He’d sacrifice himself in a heartbeat to keep his family and clan safe. Emily Evers spends her days serving the public as a nurse. Then later her other persona takes center stage. The one who enjoys loud music, performing, and the lingering appreciation of the crowd. She can’t deny either one. The first keeps her grounded. The second stirs the depths of her restless soul. When Blair transports to Earth on a humanitarian mission, he’s drawn into a catastrophe in progress. But the devastation underway is too far advanced for even him to stop. So he focuses his efforts on the woman fighting for her life in the middle of it all. And his world tilts. Emily falls hard for Blair’s charm. But when she comes upon a force that has her faith wavering, all her years of training and her belief in herself grind to a screeching halt. With the remnants of her life crumbling at her feet, she questions her path forward. As the danger to their clan from the rogue fae escalates, Blair sets out to deal with the threat. Then the truth he knows well becomes all too clear. Their strengths lie in what they accomplish together. And he is very much alone. *Readers can expect healthy doses of hot shifters, naughty language, and intimate time with a fated mate, all wrapped up in a happily ever after. Can be read as a standalone romance but best enjoyed in the order written.

Publisher: Harbor Lane Books, LLC


 

 In a few hours, MOLLY MAGUIRE’s life implodes. After her apartment burns down, a lawyer shows up at her office informing her that a distant relative left her a home in Loon Lake, Wisconsin. Then she’s fired. With nothing holding her back, and nowhere else to go, she heads to the small town.

Young retiree, GRANT REEM sold his tech start-up and was contacted by the owner of his family’s favorite vacation spot with an interesting next act: buy a tour boat company in Loon Lake. With nothing stopping him, and always putting his trust in the universe, Grant buys the business and moves across the country. When he bumps into the one who got away, his college girlfriend Molly, he’s thrilled, but she’s not the same go-getter who dumped him.

Molly’s new home floods the first night, and she escapes to the Inn with a few dry belongings. She bumps into Grant and learns of the local legend about her family’s curse. When she uncovers a treasure map, she decides to take a chance with Grant’s encouragement. As they search for the treasure, however, they met unexpected opposition, learn about local superstitions, and have to decide if fate—or some other force—wants them to win or lose.

Non-Fiction

Date Published: February 14, 2025

Publisher: Changeling Press


 

From fist fights to dragon duels: NYT bestselling author Angela Knight explores how to write fictional combat.

 

As a novelist, teacher and editor, I’ve seen bad fight scenes ruin too many good stories. My objective in this book is to demonstrate how to write fights that keep readers on the edge of their seats -- and publishers begging for more.

I’ll discuss how to use YouTube to research combat techniques and construct thrilling fights blow by blow. You’ll also learn how to use those fights to reveal character and build reader sympathy.

I’ll demonstrate the warning signs of an anticlimax and what to do about it. I’ll show you how to build tension and excitement with every battle until you reach a climax that has the reader craving your next book.

 

Note: This is an updated and heavily revised version of my book, How to Write Fight Scenes.
