Drumroll please ...

Montrose Paranormal Academy, Book 2: Crossing Nexis went live yesterday  with 50 pre-orders!

Can you believe it?!

I'm SO EXCITED that Book 2 in the new and improved Montrose Paranormal Academy series is out!! I hope you are too.

Everything is happening so fast. One happy launch team member emailed me about her review this morning before I even woke up. Go early risers!

If you read the original version of this book when it was simply titled Crossing Nexis, you'll notice a few minor changes.
  1. Lucy has some cool new powers.
  2. She's a little more badass and take charge
  3. Plus, I've amped up a few scenes in the middle and especially at the end.

But other than that, everything else is much is the same as the original version that released in November 2019.

I hope this version is just a little more polished. After all, an author always wants to improve their craft. Especially this writer chick!

Most importantly, Montrose Paranormal Academy, Book 2: Crossing Nexis is pivotal for setting up the rest of the series ...

Whether I end up writing a 4 or 5 book series, only time will tell. Or the number of readers clambering for more! ;)

If you're a loyal reader of the old version of this series, I hope you love this updated installment. If you're new to the Montrose Paranormal Academy universe, I hope you love this gripping sequel.

Is there anything you love or hate or want to add to the series? Comment below with your thoughts!


P.S. I'm working on Book 3 right now. I hope to have it ready for you in October. But sshhh, don't tell. ;)

Montrose Paranormal Academy better watch out--
it’s time for Seer Training.


I’ve got some new angel powers to play with. And I’m only getting started.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since last semester, you never know what the Three Societies are going to do next. But I’m tired of bowing to the whims of the Guardians, Nexis …

Now I need to decide a few things for myself:
  1. Whose side do I want to be on in this tug-of-war between the Three Societies?
  2. Which one of my two guys is ready to fight for me?
  3. How can I turn the tables to get what I want for a change?

I still want to find my brother. Maybe even fight by his side. But first, I need to learn how to become my own Seer.

Just because I have awesome powers, doesn’t mean I’m anybody’s property.

Good News for Book 2

Yesterday, I had a call with my writing mentor.

He was SO impressed with the numbers for Book 1 that he advised me to release Book 2 ...

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

I was stunned!

But the numbers don't lie. Readers are responding to Montrose Paranormal Academy, Book 1 in a big way!

All it took was some major updates, a new title, and a new cover ...

Plus a brand new marketing strategy. (Which I'm still learning.)

Who knew?

If you've been a long time Nexis fan, you know that I released the first version of Book 2 back in November as Crossing Nexis. Don't worry, I'll keep that as the book's subtitle.

Luckily, I already sent Book 2 to my editor to review the updates I added for this relaunch.

The next two weeks will be a little crazy as I update Book 2, design the cover, and put the new book up for pre-order.

Unfortunately, that means Book 3 will have to be pushed aside for a week or two.

But I hope you'll agree that in the end, it'll all be worth it!

Honestly guys, my head is spinning right now. I'm still trying to figure out pre-order and release dates.

Right now, I have a TON of work to do to get everything ready in time.

My mentor warned me about this.

He said if Book 1 was uber successful, then I'd need to release Book 2 right away.

I just never thought it'd really happen!

Underneath the shock and awe, I'm ecstatic right now. And SO VERY GRATEFUL for all of your support.

Over the next few weeks, stay tuned for the Book 2 cover reveal, pre-order announcement and release dates.

Who can't wait for the next book? Comment below and tell me all about it.
