    Just when Marla Gawama thinks she might be getting the hang of her detective doo-ties, the universe has to go and prove her wrong. 
    The town of Gales Haven is highly eccentric—part of its charm—so Marla is no stranger to quirks. 
    But when the townsfolk start acting odder than usual, Marla realizes something is up. The friendly gigolo Danny isn’t the only one to make shmexy rounds to entertain the locals. And even the talking mouse who terrorizes the kitchen of Gawama Mama House is proving to be a horn-dog. 
    Since she’s stuck with the role of town detective, it’s up to her to figure out what the hell is going on and to return Haveners to their usual level of strangeness—not too much, just right. Though a town full of leg-humping witches and wizards is pretty funny. 
    Every good Gawama knows: “If you can’t fight the crazy, love the crazy.” And Marla is a Gawama witch through and through. 
    Pesky Potions is a humorous paranormal women’s fiction fantasy. If you love snarky stories with women so empowered they’re a force to be reckoned with, then you’ll love the Witches of Gales Haven series.

    One night was all it took. 
    I should have stayed away. I should have thrown away her scarf, banished Esmeralda from my mind, body, and soul, and never thought or spoke of her again. That would have been the best thing, the right thing. 
    But our Lord works in mysterious ways, and before I know it, the walls of Notre Dame become her prison as much as they are my sanctuary. And with temptation front and center, neither of us have the strength to resist. Our days become longing glances and coded whispers, our nights stolen kisses and caresses on borrowed time, because we both know the inescapable truth. 
    Our love can only end as it began—in fire. But as each day passes, and the more I fall under her spell, eternal damnation seems a small price to pay. 
    If Esmeralda is hell, I’ll go willingly. 
    The Hells of Notre Dame is a sapphic retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the first book in The Phantom of Notre Dame series: where Hunchback collides with The Phantom of the Opera in the streets of gothic Paris. These LGBT+ dark fantasy romances are as steamy as they are twisted, and are intended for a mature adult audience. 
    Please note: while Claude and Esmeralda remain the main characters of every book, they will add partners of various genders to their consensually polyamorous relationship over the course of the series.

    Life in the Great Pulha Woodlands is the very definition of stillness and tranquility—and Acer's had enough of it! 
     
     
     
    That's right. Acer isn't quite like the other high elves of the forest. For starters, he remembers living a past life as a human in another world . . . meaning he's got a taste for meat, adventure, and plenty of other decidedly un-elven things! He's also bored out of his skull after 120 years of the peace and quiet of their serene sylvan lifestyle. So with nothing more than his trusty bow, a bundle of life-giving fruit, and his close bond with the spirits of nature, Acer leaves the monotony of the forest behind to seek a new life, one that's more his pace. See what excitement awaits in the outside world full of humans, dwarves, and even other elves!

    JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
    Book 6 of 6 - The Final Convergence 
    This story is summarized as follows: 
    As Jupiter's storms churn with cosmic energy, Captain Minerva Voss and her crew race to stop Syndicate fanatic Malakor from firing the Godsbane Lance—a weapon designed to destroy Jove during the Harmonic Convergence. While Minerva infiltrates Malakor’s flagship, Jove awakens fully, broadcasting a psychic judgment across the solar system: humanity must prove its worthiness after eons of forgetting its cosmic origins. Minerva responds by uniting humanity’s collective consciousness—showcasing both its flaws and potential. In a climactic duel, she destroys the Lance as Jove delivers its verdict: humanity is imperfect but capable of growth. The convergence ends with Jove withdrawing but leaving ancient knowledge accessible, trusting humanity to choose wisdom over destruction. The Syndicate collapses, and Minerva emerges as a guide for humanity’s new cosmic era—one where they must earn their place among the stars.  
    This is the final audiobook in the series and I do hope you enjoy this last instalment, and it's only $3. 
    The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.  
    The story itself runs to about 45 plus minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
