Dragons of Siberia (The Dashkova Memoirs #7)

Today I am pleased to announce the release of Book 7 of the Dashkova Memoirs, Dragons of Siberia!  The book is now available from Amazon here or by clicking the image below.

Dragons of Siberia:

Stranded in Siberia, Kat and Ben must navigate the snowy wastes to make it to Moscow so they can stop the god Veles from taking over their world. But surprises lurk in the north, one from her past days in Empress Catherine’s court, and the other a creature out of legend. To survive, Kat needs to confront more than her past.

The Year in Review – 2015

The first thing I need to do is this: THANK YOU READERS!!!

via GIPHY

I really can’t say enough how amazing this year was for me and it’s all because of you.  It’s really strange to sit in a room for hours and days at a time, pounding away at a keyboard, wondering if anyone will care.  To have that many people not only purchase my books, but to review them, share them, and generally be a cheerleader for them, I’m really blessed.

I’m a fan of lists, so I’m going to hit you with a few lists of my favorite things of the year, mostly in order though I didn’t think to hard about it (and I realize that some are not from 2015, but it was the year I finally got to them).

  2. The Martian

The Queen of Dreams (The Dashkova Memoirs #6)

Book 6 in The Dashkova Memoirs is LIVE!

Things should be getting easier for Katerina “Kat” Dashkova. The former princess of the Russian empire wields considerable sorcerous powers, has learned to control the unruly prophecies in her head, and is a member of the Transcendental Society—a group dedicated to protecting the ideals of the Enlightenment from the tyranny of the supernatural—under the leadership of a quasi-immortal Benjamin Franklin.

Except the god Veles has laid claim to her former homeland of Russia, and unless she can stop him, the world will be his next conquest.

To reach Veles, Kat and Ben must travel through the realm of dreams in Baba Yaga’s hut—a transdimensional craft owned by a trio of dangerous witches. The hut will help them reach their destination, but it contains dangers of its own, things that even the hut’s mistresses have forgotten. Things that only need a little magic—or the whiff of prophecy—to escape.
