Mad World new covers!


Some of you may have noticed these covers, added only recently. They are the work of Ravven Kitsune, the wonderful artist who did the covers for all of the Paladin Princess series. She’s absolutely fantastic, and a dream to work with ❤
So without further ado, let me introduce you to the covers:
 

The novel that started it all has a new cover! EPIDEMIC was my first published book, and it starts the best selling zombie apocalypse trilogy!


“The Black Plague is ancient history. It killed 100 million people nearly seven centuries ago, halfway around the world from the technologically advanced research center at Stanford University. Scientists there have recently begun examining samples of bone marrow from plague-infected corpses unearthed in Europe. All the necessary safeguards are in place. What could go wrong?
Alyssa and Jake are away with their class on a highly anticipated year-end trip to Broadway with their senior acting class when all hell breaks loose at home. Traveling back, and trying to find their families, they encounter deadly results. Riots are breaking out. People are being evacuated. And they have no idea what’s happening to their families.  
Horrific ordeals, heart-pounding tragedy, and chance encounters harden them for what lies ahead. Faced with tormenting decisions, they’re forced to follow their instinct for survival at any cost – even when the cost is a heart-wrenching decision of life or death.
A harrowing adventure of frightening discoveries, horrifying confrontations and narrow escapes in Epidemic, the first installment of the Mad World series. 
Find out what’s got everyone so terrified.”

 

 
The second book in the Mad World Series is SANCTUARY. The new cover is really amazing! 

“The year is 2017, and the Black Plague infection has swept across most of the United States, leaving death and chaos in its wake. Martial law is the rule rather than the exception, with outbreaks cropping up when they’re least expected. Alyssa and her friends must not only battle outbreaks of the disease, but also find themselves pursued by government agents – men and women determined to track them down at any cost.

Fleeing north to the fabled Sanctuary, Alyssa, Jacob, DeAndre, Caitlyn, Risa and Luke face disturbing ordeals and terrible tragedy as they encounter unbelievable situations in their struggle to reach safety. Using their skills and wits in their fight to survive against ever worsening odds, they weather hardship, betrayal, and the ever-present specter of death as they flee north, all the while vowing to protect one another – and most of all their precious 5-year-old Luke, from a world gone mad.

Sanctuary, the second installment in the Mad World series, is a heart-rending adventure of astonishing revelations, tragic discoveries, agonizing separations and devastating losses that test these friends to their limits. With heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat suspense at every turn, this is a story you will not be able to put down.

Find out what happens next.”
 
DESPERATION is the third and final book in this trilogy, and the new cover is fabulous, don’t you think?

“Forget what you thought you knew about this story, because everything is about to change.
With Alyssa near death, Luke, Jacob and their companions make a desperate attempt to reach Boston with the final ingredient needed for the plague antidote. They must travel through the Canadian wilderness, some of the roughest country in North America. Along the way they are joined by new friends and old as they fight to reach their destination and save Alyssa. What they don’t know is that something is hunting them.
Something evil is lurking, waiting to strike when they least expect it.
After years of fighting courageously against the living plague, they’d thought they knew their enemy. They’d believed their wits, bravery and strength would be enough to win this fight against the threat that had overrun so much of the world they once knew. But they were wrong.
Now Luke, Risa, Jacob, DeAndre and Jonathan face their most dangerous trials yet as they battle the ever-present zombie threat, along with a new challenge they never saw coming. How many ways can this plague try to kill them? Find out, in the latest installment of the Mad World series.”

 
 
Each of these novels is available now on Amazon. Just click on the cover above to be taken to their website for purchase.
 
One final note, from me to you:

🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
 
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I hope you and your family have a wonderful and SAFE holiday, and remember: Zoom Thanksgivings are preferable to ICU Christmases, so stay safe, practice social distancing, mask wearing, and hand washing, and stay put for the holidays, do not travel to gatherings. 🎉

Blog entry April 10th, 2020.
 
Hello, fellow readers!  We find ourselves in weird, weird circumstances.  I’m sure you’ve noticed.  Anyway, I hope this finds you and your loved ones well and happy.
   I am hunkered down here in my home in southern Virginia.  It is springtime in Virginia, so we’re getting cold nights(into the 30s!), and warmer and warmer days.  My wisteria has started to bud, which makes me very excited, because I was worried it would not come back after the odd winter.
   I am currently working on calming techniques and de-stressing techniques, and (most importantly) working on writing stories I think you’ll love.
   My office is tiny, and the walls are lined with books.  I have a new kitten by the name of Jynx (yes, just like one of the cats in ROMANOV) and a new betta fish by the name of Sapphire Flower, and they keep me company throughout the day.
   I hope that this virus issue abates soon, but in case it does not, I’ve got plenty of my favorite drinks, and loads of rice and beans, which I was raised on by my Puerto Rican mother.  
Puerto Rican food is the absolute best food on the planet, bar none.  
   I’m currently recuperating from a major operation I had on March 25th, and with it came a new diet I was put on.  But I can already feel the operation doing the magic it was intended to, and hopefully, I will become healthier and be around for a good many years to come, writing stories.  
   I’ve been toying with the idea of setting up a small chicken coop and raising a half dozen chickens.  I had chickens when I was in my 20s and I love their gentle clucking and serene dispositions.  Here’s a video of one of my favorite people in the world, and how he’s dealing with his new flock of chickens.

Neil with his chickens

   Anyway, I hope you are all staying safe, and staying in your homes, and READING a lot of great books!  And if you’re looking for a great book to read, here’s the newest book of mine, I think it’s pretty exciting, and I think you’ll like it.




   Drop me a line and tell me how you’re doing.  Are you into any new hobbies?  Do you have chickens?  Tell me all about it, I’m eager to hear from you!



Happy thoughts!

Titania Academy Book Two: First Year, Second Semester

Holly thought her second semester at Titania Academy would be easier.

Her father had charged the academy’s students to protect his daughter, and his directive seemed ironclad.

But Holly and her father may have seriously misjudged the power and tenacity of the Oak King’s rival faction.

The new year brings with it new courses of study.

As first-year students enter a new semester, Holly and her friends learn about faefolk magic, and the nature of their own powers.

About concentrated shifting, and glamours.

But as the headmistress, Professor Ó Baoghill, begins a year-long sabbatical, her place is taken by a harsh new headmaster who questions Holly’s scholarship.

And the Oak King faction is on the move again, gaining power and supporters, especially after the students learn what Holly’s special fae power is: control of the elements.

Some students feel threatened.

Some just want her gone.

So when the Master of Quests puts out a call for an archaic book of magic supposedly lost in New York City, Holly decides to take her own weekend sabbatical to find it, hoping the craziness will calm down in her absence.

But the Oak King’s supporters have other ideas, and they are out for blood.

Will Holly survive her second semester at Titania Academy?

Hello everyone~

Here in southern Virginia, it was beginning to get cooler. Just a little bit. And I held my breath. Because my favorite season in Fall~Winter: from October through December. I love love love Halloween~Thanksgiving~Christmas. I still feel that child-like excitement at each holiday, even though my family has steadily shrunk down until now, it’s just the three of us here in this little house.

But the summer was not done with us. Starting today (Thursday) and reaching through the weekend, temps will be touching the 90s.

Urgh.

Times like this I wish I had a pool 🙂

So, you, my readers: what is your favorite season? Tell me! I might incorporate your words into a story.

For now,

Love ya,

Samaire

Hello everybody!

Well, book 3 THE LOST TREASURE is off and running! We’ve had a good response to its launch two days ago. Have you got your copy yet?

I am now writing book 4 of The Paladin Princess series. The title is: THE PIRATE PRINCE and you are going to love it!

Reviews are starting to come in from a few readers and I will not lie, I draw my happy from reading these. Read this one, from Goodreads, a review of book 2 THE PIRATE QUEEN:

Well my goodness. I won’t lie, this made me tear up. I am always trying to write the best story I can, and my editors and beta readers are always hard at work helping me perfect each story. Lovely people: reviews like this make my heart soar and fill me with enough positive energy to write the next story.

If you’re not sure if you can or should leave a review, please know that I am always eager to hear from you and know what you think about the books.

At the end of the day, dear reader, I’m so glad you read my books and I hope you love them. And always: I do hope you’ll consider leaving a review. It means so very much to hear what you think.

I hope you have a wonderful August!

Book 4 will go live in early September.

Until then:

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Namaste,

Samaire

NEW THINGS ARE HAPPENING!

I have a new webmaster! This is why my website now looks SO DURN COOL! (Thanks a million to Melissa Gammonster for all the work in creating this beautiful website!)


Oh! And the FIRST book of my new series is about to be released: The Pirates of Moonlit Bay is a really fantastic start to an incredible set of stories that you are gonna LOVE! Check out the page for this book, read all about it!


Things are warming up here in Virginia, so I am hunkered down in my air conditioned, DARK office, writing up a storm. I found the bright office lights were distracting, so I turned off the lights and lit some candles, and it’s dark and quiet.


My birthday is coming up and I have been wanting to get into more exercise, so I can stop being so much of a couch potato and more of a Healthy Human Being. 


There are a TON of fireflies out roaming the forest behind my house, I wish I could video them and put that up here. I tried but they are so teensy they don’t show up. 


I would love for you to drop me a line, so mosey on over to the CONTACT tab and let me know what you think of the new website and all of Melissa’s hard work!
