Join My ARC Street Team

Vinder’s Christmas is almost ready for ARC readers. The revised first draft is in the hands of my Beta readers for feedback before further editing. I want to get 30 reviews by the time it releases on November 7th. I plan to release the paperback first so it is available for review on Amazon before the ebook release.

Description

Cyborg Vinder Black rides on horseback into Overlord Territory in the Appalachian Mountains to find his genetic mate.

Claire

Life as a serf in Lord Reinhardt’s “Kingdom” of Millson was one of back-breaking work, scarcity of food and resources, and cruel punishment for those who broke the rules.

Then, this big, handsome cyborg came into town and saved a friend who had been nearly flogged to death. Something about him attracted me like no other man ever had. I could hardly believe it when he told me he was mine.

Vinder

I fought my whole life for the promise of her, a promise that was broken before my life started. Then I learned she was real. I would have to find her myself. Research by my brother Brekar told me where I was likely to find her. So I bought a strong horse and rode into Overlord territory to find her.

I found her and a whole group of her friends and neighbors worth fighting for.

The application is mainly for contact information on the team members.

The Cyborg Awakenings Series is Going Wide

Last week I gave out over 500 copies of Vyken Dark on a special promo as Jolt Somber was coming out of Kindle Unlimited. I’ve decided to take this series wide so it can be available in Kobo Plus. The rest of the books in the series will transition in November after they come out of Kindle Unlimited at the end of October.

All of Cyborg Awakenings will continue to be available at Amazon along with the paperback. I am publishing through Smashwords which is now part of Draft2Digital. I will also make them available through Google Play. The Aledan Series will follow them. By taking them wide, I hope a new audience will discover them.

Also Free and wide is Cyborg Awakenings, the prequel to the series. The Cyborg Awakenings prequel gives background on the war the cyborgs fought for 100 years, and the romance of Danya’s parents in post apocalyptic Chicago. Danya becomes Vyken Dark’s mate as an adult. The rest of the series is in Kindle Unlimited.

Although I wrote the Aledan Series first, Cyborg Awakenings series and Cyborg Ranger series precede the Aledan in the fictional timeline. I spent months studying cyborg romance fiction before deciding to write my own series. Since cyborgs were most often made to fight wars, I needed a war to fight.

Earth was in ruin when ship taking Hankura to Velran passed over in orbit because of an alien attack a few hundred years before. So, I decided to introduce my cyborgs there.

Choosing a Cover Man for Vinder’s Christmas

Sometimes the hardest part of my job is picking a cover man for my book. Currently there are 5 contenders. On the right is number 1.

I am running a giveaway on my TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook group for readers to vote on the cover they like best. The voting is to help me decide, but everyone who comments on one of those posts will be put in a drawing for a signed paperback of the finished book which I hope to release in November before Cyborg Monday.

Hello world!

Welcome to my brand new website under construction. I am an indie author of steamy scifi romance written under my name and the pen name Clarissa Lake. Things were getting kind of crazy running two websites and producing two newsletters like I am not one person writing under two names.

I took the pen name Clarissa Lake a few years back when I started writing erotic romance. Now that everything is spicy I decided to consolidate and simply started putting both names on my new books.

As my books come out of Kindle Unlimited, I am planning to take them wide and even sell from this website eventually. When I take them wide, I will put them into Kobo Plus which is similar to Kindle Unlimited without the restrictive exclusivity.
