Pre-order INCENDIANT today!

In 2023’s CONSECRATED GROUND, war witch Joan Matthews teamed up with bloodling Leigh Phan to save their town, but not everyone is happy with the outcome . . .

And now, in the sequel INCENDIANT, Joan wants little more than to build a life with Leigh. Their hometown is rebuilding under Joan’s protection, but not everyone is happy with her solution to the most recent vampire crisis.

Meanwhile, Leigh’s bloodling powers lead to unforeseen consequences, and Joan is forced to honor a favor owed to a dangerous foe. Neither knows a greater threat lurks behind seemingly unrelated attacks across the land.

Together, Joan and Leigh once saved the town of Calvert. Now that they are separated, each must learn to save herself, or all their gains will be forfeited—and everyone they know will pay the price.

Incendiant is Book No. 2 in the Joan of Crows series.

Pre-Order Now: NO SHELTER BUT THE STARS

Looking for an epic sci-fi romance? Have a SNEAK PEEK!

NO SHELTER BUT THE STARS is the powerful tale of two women from enemy cultures forced into a fragile truce on an inhospitable moon. The story explores not only the outer limits of galactic imperialism but the inner reserves of the heart, mind, and spirit.

Kyran Loyal is the last heir to the lost throne of a forgotten planet, the figurehead of a nomadic people fleeing the galactic tyranny of a brutal regime. Davia Sifane is the unrecognized daughter of an imperial despot.

When happenstance pits them against each other in battle, neither expects the outcome: they are the only two people to survive. Marooned on a barren moon, their only hope is to rely on each other, and what they learn will either kill them or change the galaxy forever.

“The stakes couldn’t be higher in this vivid, gripping tale of survival featuring two powerful women, implacable enemies, marooned in a lethal environment with the fate of worlds hanging in the balance. What a story!”

—Katherine V. Forrest, trailblazing author of Daughters of a Coral Dawn

“Set against a well-crafted backdrop of brutal political and colonial machinations, Black shows us the possibilities that can take root and flourish in treacherous ground, and the impact that individuals can have on the course of an empire. No Shelter But the Stars is a story that will resonate long after the final page is turned.”

—Andi Marquette, author of The Far Seek Chronicles

Virginia Black Appearing at ReadOut 2024 in Gulfport, FL!

Excited to head back to Gulfport, FL for ReadOut 2024! Last year, I made the trip on the recommendation of Elle E. Ire, who had nothing but wonderful things to say about the folks at the LGBTQ Resource Center in the Gulfport Public Library.

With book bans rising in alarmingly high numbers, it’s great to hear about a public library offering such an island of support, and a program that hosts such an inclusive event.

Come find me wherever the author tables happen to be, and be sure to say hello!
