 The third book in the Starlight Highlander trilogy is finally here: with Cyle, the trilogy is now complete.
It feels like ages ago that I started writing Thorrn, the first book, which also features Cyle as a side character. Now he got his own story which might actually be the most important story of them all. I don't want to give away too much, but Cyle has all the answers… or at least he will have them once he meets his human mate. Once again this book is full of kilts, kisses and a bit of knotting. After all, Beth has to take full advantage of what alien features her mate is hiding under that kilt. If you want hot alien Highlanders in kilts, strong women who don't like being told what to do, fated mates and happily-ever-afters, dive into the world of the Starlight Highlanders.  The Cyber Pulse anthology is now available! Nine stories of out-of-this-world romance featuring LGBTQ+ characters.
My story in the collection is The Alien's Zookeeper, co-written with the wonderful Arizona Tape. When Tilly gets abducted along with all her zoo animals, the only person who can help her is the alien who accidentally brought her onto the spaceship. A lesbian romance with a strong human woman and a swoon-worthy alien female willing to give up everything for her mate. Love is love...anywhere in the universe. Whether they meet on alien planets or spaceships, through mate lotteries or by chance, the characters in these stories of aliens and humans, alphas and omegas, M/M, F/F, bisexual, transgender, and more will leave you breathless. By the way, you can get a signed The Alien's Zookeeper paperback in my shop!  Need some romance books for your virtual shelves?

Song of Souls, a romantic retelling of the Pied Piper fairy tale, is now available everywhere, including at libraries!
Narrators Troy Duran and Stephanie Rose have really brought the magic of the book alive. I can't wait to hear what you think of Song of Souls! 
Nobody can resist his call.... not even her...
The Piper's music is alive, drawing souls from the world of the living to the lands of the dead. Those who hear him have no choice but to follow - when the Piper calls you, you will do as you are told. Everything changes.... even the unchangeable... Autumn is on the run from the Cult of the Hundred after witnessing something she should never have seen. She's fighting for survival; she doesn't have time for distractions. That is, until she meets a man nobody but she can see. He's intriguing, gorgeous, and mysterious - and he lies to her whenever he opens his pretty mouth. She needs to leave, needs to run from the cult, but his music touches something deep within her. A new song has begun.... He's played his tune for a hundred years, but no living human has ever seen him. Until Autumn. His music is only supposed to control those destined to leave this world, but to make Autumn stay with him, he might have to change the rules. Forever. Because, he'll never be able to let her go. Set in the same fantasy world as the best-selling Catnip Assassins series, this romantic Pied Piper retelling will sing to fans of Laura Thalassa and C.N. Crawford. If you enjoy haunted, flawed antiheroes, strong heroines, and love stories that will make you swoon, listen to this gripping romance today! Part of the Once upon a Fairy Tale Night Series, a collection of multi-author fairy-tale romance retellings.  Loved by Aliens is a box set containing nine alien romance books by some of the most popular authors in the genre. Whether you like your aliens with tails and scales, or rather more human-looking, there's something for everyone in this massive set (we couldn't make a paperback because there were simply too many pages).
My book within the box set is Alien Abuction for Beginners, the first book in The Intergalactic Guide for Humans. Even if you've already read that, you'll still get eight other books for the price of one.  They tell you not to play with your food… Grab your knife and fork, Eat Your Heart Out is now ready to devour! 20 food-related romance stories, everything from gluten-intolerant cyborgs to French chefs with very big baguettes... All proceeds go to charity! My own story in this is called Her Banana Bears and features the characters from my Claiming Her Bears trilogy. Four sexy bear shifters and not enough bananas for all of them. To decide who gets the prize, they conduct their very own banana olympics… You can also listen to Her Banana Bears as audiobook! Roll up your sleeves, grab your forks and knives, and feast on this eclectic collection of 20 fun short story romances. From paranormal, to sci-fi, to contemporary, there's something tasty for everyone! Or get yourself a paperback copy:

 Have you heard of Radish? It's an app with thousands of books, published and read in bite-sized installments optimized for smartphones. It’s the literary equivalent of addictive TV shows, right on your phone!
I'm slowly uploading my entire catalogue to Radish, including some of my co-writes. I love this app and use it myself as a reader too. Some stories are free, others are paid for with coins. One of my favourite things is that you can leave comments at the end of each episode. I love reading what you all thought of the episodes - it's much more fun than reading book reviews. Several of my stories have a different title compared to the book version:
Stories with the same name:
You can get Radish for free on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Just search for 'Skye MacKinnon' and you'll find all my books. Happy reading!  One of my oldest (and most popular) series, Daughter of Winter, has had a makeover - and isn't Wyn gorgeous!
I still love the old covers, but she deserved a new look, especially after this year. What do you think? |
