Cover real: "A Quiet Fire"

Hey there 😊

How is everything? Do you feel yourself begin to slow down after the height of summer or are you just emerging from the cold?

I'm a bit confused myself in that regard. My body is convinced I'm headed to autumn, but in less than a month I will actually hit spring again in Buenos Aires. It's beginning to feel very Groundhog Day, I gotta tell you!

I think part of it is that I’m in need of some interior time (which naturally happens in winter as we stay inside more). I have been travelling around since June and nearly always with some family member or friend around, and while I love them all and I’m so glad I got to see a lot of people from my old life, it’s also hard to visit my old life in Europe and know I’m leaving again.

Not that I don’t want to, mind you, hearing an Argentinean speaking in the streets anywhere in the world can bring a smile to lips and a spring to my step. But still, I’ll miss my people here.

Today I arrived in Sorrento with my aunt and uncle, so not quite yet, and I’m determined to make the most of this week in this gorgeous part of the world. Plus I’m loving the chance to practice my Italian!

I’m thinking of attending some MM conference next year in Europe, but the logistics would be rather a lot. What say you? Could you attend? Would you be interested in having a chat/signed book if I did?

It’s kind of funny timing for me to do it when I no longer reside in the continent, but in another way, I’m feeling more confident after making such a huge change to my life, so that inspires me to want to be brave in other avenues too.

I finally have a cover for A Quiet Fire. You ready? I think you will be surprised…

Cover of "A Quiet Fire" by NJ Lysk, two men (one black, one white) facing each other with a golden haired dark skinned woman off to one side looking wistful. Poster with tropes: mpreg, alpha forced to take second omega, 2 very different omegas, feminisation, arranged marriage, real feelings.

Hopefully you will also give it a chance! It’s an M/M romance that grows into a tender, passionate M/M/F throuple. No cheating, yes to mpreg, and definitely a happily ever after.

I worried it might not fit a neat category, but in the end, I had to be true to the story and myself. I’m bi—and my ideal throuple would absolutely have one of each ;p

Let's have a little taste...

The heat had wilted the flowers thoughtfully placed all over the small sitting room where Quincy had been led by a sour-faced chaperone. To Quincy’s sensitive nose, they smelt like death. It would have been reason enough to feel nauseous, but he had more reason still.

He refused to look up. It wasn’t much, but that much he was entitled to. Well-bred omegas didn’t look alphas in the eye, after all, and at forty Quincy had an excuse to be old-fashioned.

Yara had certainly thought him as much, even if Yara herself had been wild enough to— He shoved the thought away and focused on keeping his expression neutral. Yara was gone.

Long gone, according to the council. And since Quincy was still of breeding age, it was only to be expected that he meet prospective alphas.

As far as he could tell, the only purpose it served was for them to prove their power over him. Unless they enjoyed humiliating him, which he wouldn’t have put past them either. When there were plenty of young nubile omegas of both sexes available to them, who on earth would claim him? None of the last five alphas to examine him had looked even remotely tempted.
