Big Announcement!

The moment we've been waiting for

I’m not one for keeping people in suspense, so here’s the TLDR right now! Eastern Blood Price is finished and I’m working on setting things up for release. Release date is set for February 17, 2026.

I’m setting up everything that is needed going forward. That includes stuff like putting the book on Amazon and other platforms in case readers want to buy from me directly, getting marketing set up, getting ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) ready and ARC reviewers vetted. Keep an eye out here and on my other accounts for announcements on where to go if you’re interested in signing up for ARC.

Part of the marketing process is going to involve me coming in here and doing more articles and short stories going forward, so expect that! I can’t promise I’ll be able to keep to a schedule, but now that the main book project is complete I can divert creative time to sprucing this place up a bit. And on that note, I plan on writing up another short story soon that will go here and potentially in Kristin McTiernan’s Black Market Fiction magazine. If I get accepted, expect that in March I believe.

In the meantime, I’ll leave you here with the cover and blurb for Eastern Blood Price to enjoy.

Kidnapping an oligarch’s daughter is one thing. Keeping her is another matter.

Katya Romanova doesn’t get to just disappear, even on a forgotten island in the Gulf of Thailand. When armed men storm her private beachside party and execute everyone but her, Katya knows exactly what this is: leverage. Her father’s enemies will use her to bend him, break him, or both.

But the Romanov family doesn’t bend. And the extraction she secures isn’t what anyone expected.

They call Anya Vajra “The Ghost.” She moves through Saiyaburi’s criminal underworld like she owns it, taking down enemies with skills that shouldn’t be possible. Some say she’s not entirely human. Katya’s starting to believe them.

What should be a clean extraction turns into a chase across back alleys, smuggler routes, and sweltering jungle. The island’s criminal network tightens around them. Escape routes close. And Katya begins to realize that the woman protecting her carries secrets darker than her father’s empire.

In Saiyaburi, every debt is paid in blood. And someone’s bill just came due.
