The second book in indie author Leona Bushman's Darkest series is now available in audio, so I thought I would share one of my favorite series again! The first two books are now in audio with the third one coming soon! Here is a little taste of Darkest Death, the second book in the series. Dark times fall upon Lady Sarah and her friends as they try to unravel mysteries of who wants them dead. Barely snagging Lady Lillian out of danger, Lady Sarah finds herself embroiled in some clandestine mischief. It causes her to doubt Lord Archer and her own feelings for him. But this fashion loving countess is not able to give up on her dreams and love for him. She enlists the aid of her two best friends to piece together what might really be happening. For she couldn’t bear it if he was a traitor to the crown. Lord Archer’s hero in the spy organization he and his family had long been a part of are in Edinburgh to reveal a traitor to the crown. Only, his boss wants him to spy on the woman he loves and the best friend of her and his own sister. Could he have really fallen in love with a traitor? He keeps his own counsel from his boss. Upon deciding that there is no way his beloved could be a traitor, he recruits them all to uncover the dark underworld doings which could lead to Queen Victoria’s death. While their lives and love are under attack, the two of them work to bring down one of England’s most powerful lords before he can kill the Queen.

Wide Link: https://books2read.com/u/bOJo2g Amazon Link: mybook.to/BeyondTheVeil It's already the first weekend in August! In case you need some distraction on how quickly the year seems to be flying by, why not let indie author Leona Bushman take you away with some romantic suspense novels? Fake engagements can be deadly. After demands from her greedy, selfish cousin to marry him, Mary runs far and fast and straight into Ian’s arms. Imaginatively of course. Never able to resist a damsel in distress, Ian agrees to pose as her fake fiancé before he learns she is the woman his sister has been trying to force on him for almost a year. From the first moment Ian saw her something inside him demanded he make her his. He’ll use his body, his wealth, power…anything to keep her safe from the man who wants to marry her, and possibly kill her, for her money. https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Thicker-Leona-Bushman-ebook/dp/B07T9B1VCP/ Chief Petty Officer John Riker has a problem—a dead body and no one for NCIS to blame but him. With blood covering his hands and uniform, he looks as guilty as he feels for being late and being unable to save his friend. And, if things aren’t bad enough, the NCIS in charge is his ex-fiance. While he hadn’t left her standing at the altar, he had broken it off hoping to save her the heartache of living alone while he served. NCIS Special Agent Edith Jane Lancaster hates that Riker ends up being top suspect in a murder. Although, it does give her an advantage as she already knows his tells and his lies. Leaving her at the altar had been something he claimed to do for her so she wouldn’t be lonely, but that was all she’d been since he left—alone. Would her opinion cloud the subject? After five years, she figures she can be impartial. Together, they have to find out who wanted to kill John’s friend in an elite Military move. Can Edith save John from the killer and himself? Can John ever forgive himself for leaving her? Will she? Or will they both die alone, with a killer running loose on the naval base? https://www.amazon.com/Over-Dead-Body-Leona-Bushman-ebook/dp/B079Y6VK93/ I am so happy to announce that Beyond the Veil: A Collection of Short Stories is now available for pre-order!

Maybe it's because 2020 was such a blur of a year where not much happened as the world stood still? I'm not sure. I know for me it seems like time is speeding up and the standing still and then speeding up again. However I am trying to get some sort of routine to stick and get some semblance of normalcy back in my life. For me that means getting my writing and publication schedule back on track. Edits are going well on my short story collection and it is still on schedule to be out on September 7th! I had to rewrite one short story in the collection, but it is much better for the rewrite and I am excited for this collection to come out! And hopefully my editor will start work on my paranormal romance novelette soon so it can make it out by Halloween! I am also working hard on getting my first rock star romance ready to head to edits later this year, but it won't be out until February of 2022. Still it's exciting to have a publishing schedule again! 2020 really did a number on my writing but I finally feel like I am getting my groove back! Look for preorder links up soon for both of my upcoming releases!
It's summer and the weekend so I thought that I would feature some fantasy novels by indie author Leona Busman to let you unwind and relax this weekend while being highly entertained! Cerisa, trained as both mage and warrior, lives in exile with her family and best friend – a dragon named Lucian. Her peaceful life is ripped apart when her father is murdered by Lord Kyle, the man who has claimed the throne of Riverhand in the name of the missing queen through bloodshed and terror. Cerisa’s plans for revenge, however, are stalled when her mother reveals two secrets that change the foundation of her life. One, her mother is the missing queen, and two, Lord Kyle is her blood father. Stunned and shaken, Cerisa vows revenge, even though her strong emotions wreak havoc on her already chaotic magic. She sets out with Lucian to kill Lord Kyle, despite – or because of – the revelations of her mother. After an attack that leaves her magically vulnerable, she meets Aron, her Drachecroi – a mate whose bonds strengthens the magical powers of their partners. When a simple broken wrist turns out to be infused with a dark curse, they realize that a powerful mage is helping Lord Kyle, defending him with a berserker to ensure the death of any who dare defy him. A berserker that has its sights set on Cerisa. Lucian and Aron help her see that in order to save herself and the rest of Riverhand, she has to turn her back on her own need for revenge as well as convince her mother to do her duty and claim the throne. Preferably before being killed by a berserker. The journey to Dublinum is full of deadly creatures and bandits. Can Cerisa get her mother there in time to save Riverhand from endless civil war? https://books2read.com/u/3L9elJ https://www.amazon.com/Cerisas-Quest.../dp/B07BBWPVKB/ Sherrone left home to escape the power hungry men who would do anything to anyone for greed. After one death too many, Sherrone left her small town to seek the whereabouts of Sorren. The council had sent Sorren on a fool's errand, hoping to be rid of her, but Sherrone was determined to find her, needing to find her in order to move on with her life and get past the guilt eating away at her since her friend left. As she left, a few friends came with her. But things were not as they had appeared to her her whole life, and none of her friends would tell her the meaning behind their cryptic words, only telling her she must find her own way to the truth. Frustrated and a little bereft, they happened upon the city of Jardeon. Larger than anything she could have imagined, Sherrone was confronted with some of the evil in the world as well as the truth of magic. And, she met the dreaded Shadow Knights, one who became particularly interested in her. In her quest to search for Sorren, Sherrone may lose the few friends she had to the evils of those ruling Jardeon. She could lose herself. Would she get past her own self views of the world and accept her magic in time to save them, or would they all be doomed to their separate fates? https://www.amazon.com/Search-Sorren-Hidden-Queen-Book-ebook/dp/B08P1HLV4H Looking for an escape from the workweek?
