A Rider’s Guide to Dragon Healing

The only thing harder than mending a dragon’s wing is softening his rider’s heart. Tyge de Xerrist would rather face a Borgonne army than trust his dragon’s life to a witch. But exiled to Safe Haven with Sundri's wing torn to shreds, the surly rider is out of options. Sarai Lavigne is a Tier One Healer who has spent years mending the wounds of war. She’s ready to save Sundri, but his rider is her most stubborn patient yet. Even as Sarai and Tyge clash over dragon-lore and ancient grudges, they must work together to get Sundri back in the sky. Enemies-to-lovers romance meets cozy fantasy in this tale of scales, soot, and second chances. Coming Summer 2026

Warp, Rinse, Repeat

Surviving parenthood is hard enough—try doing it when the universe keeps hitting reset. Triana Moore knew pregnancy would be messy—but not this messy. Between malfunctioning baby simulators, her mother’s attempts to fire her (again), and a snarky “smart” house that refuses to learn her name, life on SK2 is already chaos. Then Monday refuses to end. Literally. Now, Triana and O’Neill are stuck reliving the same day on repeat—while her pregnancy keeps marching forward. As her belly expands and her patience wears thin, every day they must re-convince her charming cousin Arun, their sharp-tongued friend Vanti, and a hopelessly romantic AI that the time loop is real before the triplets make their debut in a full-blown temporal paradox. Cosmic chaos, domestic drama, and one very pregnant heroine who just wants a nap. And a snack. #CommissionsEarned

Dark Quasar Reckoning

Political drama. A rogue AI. And a coup with grandma at the helm. Special Agent Lindsay "Vanti" Fioravanti and her crew thought their mission to Leweian space was complete. But when their AI shuttle Helva—presumed lost forever—calls for help, they are pulled into a planetary rebellion orchestrated by their shipmate Leo’s grandmother. With friends kidnapped, loyalties tested, and her Hadriana caat stirring up trouble, Vanti has one job: survive the galaxy’s most dysfunctional family reunion and get her crew out alive. Dark Quasar Reckoning—a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud space adventure where high-tech espionage meets family drama, and the only thing more dangerous than a galactic coup is listening to the caat. Book 3 in the Dark Quasar Trilogy #CommissionsEarned

A Blacksmith’s Guide to Dragon Rearing

Raising dragons is easier than raising a five-year-old. Probably. Nevan never planned on becoming a dragon rider. He was perfectly content swinging a hammer in the forge—until the injured guild master retired to Safe Haven. Now he’s supposed to help train the island’s brand new sea dragon fire brigade. That means long days, soaked clothing, and a growing suspicion that dragons like to play matchmaker. Franisa has her hands full keeping her bakery--and her children--in one piece, but she still manages to keep an eye on Nevan. After all, she’s known him since childhood—and maybe, just maybe, she’s starting to see the dragon rider in a new light. But when sparks fly—literally and figuratively—the whole village gets involved. Between curious dragons, nosy neighbors, and one busy little girl, Nevan and Franisa might have to decide if their friendship is ready to turn into something more. Dragons, fresh bread, and a magical island town—welcome back to Safe Haven. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic, and Jane Austen's Dragons--the kind of fantasy that smells faintly of woodsmoke and warm cinnamon rolls. Julia's note: Amazon says this book publishes on March 31, 2026, but all preorders purchased directly from me will be delivered two weeks before the Amazon publication date. #CommissionsEarned

A Dragon Rider’s Guide to Retirement

They survived the war. Now they just have to survive retirement. When dragonrider William Ordell is grounded by a battlefield injury, he trades conflict for peace and purchases an abandoned lighthouse on the island of Safe Haven. But quiet doesn’t suit a man used to action. After a series of mysterious fires, William finds himself launching the island’s first fire brigade—with help from the local sea dragons. Calantha Stormbringer has left war behind, along with the fading sparks of her magic. She retreats to Safe Haven to rebuild her late aunt’s dusty bookshop—and maybe herself. Restoring the shop will require patience, intelligence, and gold. Calantha figures two out of three isn’t bad. What neither of them wants? To run into each other. Again. Old grudges, magical dragons, and one cozy, nosy village—what could possibly go right? A Dragon Rider’s Guide to Retirement is a cozy, low-stakes fantasy filled with magic, mischief, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that won't steam your glasses. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Cursed Cocktails, and J. Penner’s Adenashire series. #CommissionsEarned

The Romara Confrontation

Two civilizations. One planet. No second chances. Lieutenant Serenity “Siti” Kassis has trained her whole life for first contact missions, but nothing prepares her for this—arriving at a promising new world only to find it already inhabited by an advanced, spacefaring civilization. As acting commander, it’s her call whether to push forward or back away. One wrong move could spark a conflict neither side can afford. On Lunesco, Quinn Templeton is expecting a quiet lunch with an old friend when the planetary defense system flags an unidentified ship in orbit. Since the revolution, she’s learned to negotiate, but first contact with an unknown species? That’s a whole new challenge. Siti and Quinn could navigate mistrust, politics, and the weight of history to build something neither of their people expected—a future together. But they have to meet first. And something--or someone--is trying to keep them apart. The Romara Confrontation is book 5 in the Colonial Explorer Corps, and follows Siti, Joss, and Derek Lee as they meet the heroes of the Krimson Empire. If you haven't read either series, I recommend you start with book 1 of the CEC series. If you're short on time, you can jump in at book 4. This book can be read without reading Krimson Empire first. (But I hope you'll read it, too!) #CommissionsEarned

Dark Quasar Ignites

Impossible mission… or set up for failure? Vanti’s handler sends her to Lewei to investigate a derelict ship. But she insists the agent take along a less-than-crack team to “help.” Saddled with a ravenous comm expert, a criminal inventory specialist, a timid chef, and a demolition expert who wants to blow up everything, Vanti must keep her wits about her simply to survive. Command insists the mission is simple: sneak into Leweian space, find the ship, discover what happened, and return with everything of value. And don’t let anyone know they’re there. It would be easy if anyone would follow the rules. Aided by the reliable Arun and the inventive Elodie, plus Apawllo the cat, Vanti figures she can manage the impossible. If the whole thing doesn’t spontaneously ignite. #CommissionsEarned

Sun Spot Remover

Same space janitor. Shiny new mess. Three years have passed since Triana and Ty's failed honeymoon to Armstrong. Finally ready to try again, they've booked into an all-inclusive resort on Moghbeli Luna Major, where the water is warm, the drink-bots are preprogrammed, and all systems are green. Or so the holo-ads claim. When they arrive, they find murderous seabirds, failing force shields, and a hotel owner in way over her head. And wait... is that a dinosaur? The happy couple's long delayed vacation devolves into a mad scramble to save the resort, track down the bad guys, and maybe ride the water slide before they head home. If they make it that far. #CommissionsEarned

Dark Quasar Rising

In the heart of enemy territory, Vanti must save the day without blowing her cover... or her cool. Security for a reality star cruising on a billionaire's space yacht should be excellent cover for secret agent Lindsay "Vanti" Fioravanti. Her boss, the famous Elodie-Oh, doesn't care where they go, as long as it's viral. Then Arun, the ship's owner and pilot, grabs an opportunity to do business on Gagarin--a planet emerging into capitalism with enthusiasm. Getting in on the new market is a huge risk, but could offer enormous rewards. And visiting Gagarin gives Vanti the chance to recruit new informants. But when a shipmate is kidnapped, Vanti and Arun must come to the rescue. Can they do it without exposing Vanti's secret identity? And if not, who will feed the cat? #CommissionsEarned

Changing the Speed of Light Bulbs

On a honeymoon two is company and three is a crowd. Five is ridiculous. After their wedding--and the Ice Dame's high-handed exploitation of the event--Triana and O'Neill embark on their honeymoon, only to find they’ve been booked on a CelebVid cruise with Vanti, Elodie, and Leo. When the jump to Armstrong throws Triana and O'Neill into an alternate reality, they must outsmart the multi-verse versions of their friends, a lunatic professor and his corporate sponsor, and a cargo hold full of egg-throwing rodents if they hope to return to their own lives. How will they do it? With spectacular, Space Janitor style, of course. #CommissionsEarned
