Now that December is upon us, I've come together with other authors to offer you not just one, but three different advent calendars. And the best thing, all of them are free!
The first is in the shape of a book, while the other two are more like a traditional advent calendar with a new door opening daily. Scroll down to find out more!

As a very special (and strange) treat, I present to you the audiobook of Alien Abduction for Beginners: Christmas Assignment, a story that will be in the A Very Alien Christmas anthology releasing next month. My narrator Kyo Sija, who's also voiced my Defiance and Claiming Her Bears books, has done a phenomenal job with this (although she did message me to ask me what the hell she'd just read).

This is a steamy, hilarious book involving insatiable alien twin sisters and a Santa with a very large candy cane...
And right now, you can get it for whatever you're prepared to pay (minimum $1).

Offering the audiobook like this is a bit of an experiment, so let's see how it goes...

The audiobook will also be available at retailers for full price soon, but it will probably take a week or longer for it to go live, so for now, this is the only way you can listen to it.

1. Skye and Liza started writing it over Facebook Messenger before moving it to Google docs.

2. They did not plot it out before writing it (something that makes Liza VERY nervous, to the point where she turned into a clingy girlfriend and messaged Skye constantly with questions).

3. Lysander's name was Tyler until a third into writing the manuscript.

4. The legend of the Lorelei is a real legend, originating in Germany, and you can visit the statue.

5. While talking about the untitled work-in-progress, Liza called it "the Skyza book".

6. The book was finished before they realized Avery didn't have a last name. Liza picked Bennett because she's a Pride & Prejudice fan.

7. Charles was half elf before Skye and Liza decided he should be half faerie lord.

8. Keira Blackwood, another paranormal romance author (and Liza's other coauthor) designed the cover.

9. The "real" Song of Blood (lyrics to the tune of "My Favorite Things" that Liza wrote after reading one of Skye's battle scenes) was a random comment Liza threw into the margin of the manuscript as a joke.

10. Skye wrote the German words that Avery sings to heal Tasha.

11. A placeholder title on their Google doc read "Avery's Epic Vandemic Tale".

12. While writing and editing, Liza and Skye teased each other constantly about British English vs. American English.

I've got a new book for you! Song of Blood is co-written with the magnificent Liza Street and is a post-apocalyptic reverse harem with sirens, fae, shifters and vampires. Bit of everything, so to speak, set against the background of the Vandemic.

Empty supermarket shelves, mass panic, staying indoors.Sound familiar?
This is why. 

Back in March, when everything shut down for the first time, I wrote a few paragraphs about a woman having a bit of a nightmare finding toilet paper in the shops. I sent it to Liza and she added some more words and several months later, we have a full, long novel. I think it's been a bit therapeutic for both of us to write about a fictional, humorous vampire pandemic. Without toilet paper, obviously.

A few months ago, I randomly wrote a few paragraphs about a vampire pandemic which involved a shortage of toilet paper (guess what inspired me) and sent it to my friend Liza Street. She liked it and wrote a few more paragraphs. Back and forth we went until we suddenly had a full novel. We kept this secret because neither of us wanted to set a deadline - this was just our fun little project. Until now.

I present to you Song of Blood, a post-apocalyptic reverse harem full of vampires, werewolves, fae and sirens. It's set in London and Liza (who's American) had a lot of fun impressing me with her (mostly correct) British slang. The Queen's Knickers is probably my favourite expression she managed to sneak in there…
While Liza expanded her British swearword vocabulary, I added some German mythology centering around the Lorelei, a siren who used to terrorise sailors on the river Rhine. I've always wanted to write about her and finally had the chance with this series.

Anyway, the book releases on the 10th October and you can pre-order it already. And if you want to find out more about Liza, take a look at her website - trust me, her books are amazing and it's been an honour to write with her.
