Brand New Website, Cover Reveals, and my 2018 Schedule

Good morning, everyone! Thank you for all your lovely feedback and reviews for Reign Of The Wolf. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

This is going to be a short and sweet blog post because I want to get straight to telling you the good stuff!

New Website

​The website is self-explanatory: here it is! TA-DA!!! Welcome to my new site - a bit more sleek and a little easier to navigate, I hope. Have a browse, let me know what you think.

Cover Reveals

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! It's going to mean more to you if you've finished the Eye Of The Storm series.

As you all know, the Eye Of The Storm has ended now - the story of our four favourite werewolves is done. But others' stories are just beginning. There's the vivacious Layla, and the mysterious Jasmine for starters. I really, really want to write about their future.

However, before I can tell their story, we need to find out exactly how they got to where their story starts. So ... [drumroll] two companion novels are in the works! The companion novels form their own mini-series called Blood Never Lies, but each book stands on its own. The pre-order for these will go live very soon.

The first is called Blood Shadow and tells the story of Jennifer Warren. If you've read to the end of Reign Of The Wolf, you'll know exactly who that is. I couldn't leave her voice unheard; I couldn't leave her with all the shit I'd put her through without a more solid conclusion. Her story is expected to be published in April, 2018 in both eBook and paperback.

Blood Shadow: an Eye Of The Storm companion novel
(Blood Never Lies, #1)


Five years after her life changed forever, Jennifer Warren has put her past firmly behind her - at least, she's tried. A few sweaty nightmares here and there are a small price to pay for the freedom she won. No longer a werewolf, but human, she works as an office manager for a health and beauty spa in York, and keeps herself to herself. It's barely enough to pay the bills, but it's quiet and safe, and the clique of the staff means she's left well enough alone - no one asks her questions; no one wants to get to know her better.

David, her tender, kind boyfriend of two years is all she needs ... and she doesn't really need him, which suits her just fine. Never mind the occasional guilt that she doesn't really love him; he'd never hurt her in a million years - that's worth its weight in gold.

But Jennifer's just received another note - one of those that her mysterious, anonymous 'friend' likes to leave her every now and then; warnings of things to come, people not to trust... Her elusive friend has saved her more than once the past five years.

Only this note has left her breathless; her chest tight. A Supermoon is coming - the first in thirty years - and with it, a total lunar eclipse.

Jennifer's disowned her past, but it hasn't disowned her. As the Earth shadows the full moon, her own shadows threaten to turn on her.

Can you ever escape what you truly are?

Blood never lies.

The second companion novel is called Aftershock, and belongs to Pete and Claire (and Jasmine). We're going to find out what happened to them over those five years they were away.

SPOILER ALERT: Don't read this blurb if you have not yet finished Reign Of The Wolf!

Aftershock has an expected release date of September, 2018.

Aftershock: an Eye Of The Storm companion novel
​(Blood Never Lies, #2)


Self-sufficient and travellers at heart, Pete and Claire packed bags five years ago and headed on a journey that would change their lives forever.

After the unexpected death of her childhood best friend, Sarah, Claire has nurtured both an open wound, and Sarah's baby - a miracle born on her death bed.

Pete has been nothing short of a father to baby Jasmine, and partner to Claire, the werewolf in him one of the few things in the world Claire connects with.

However, despite their love for their adopted daughter and each other, fate's about to test the foundation they've built. Jasmine has been having episodes - seizures - the doctors aren't sure exactly what they are, or what triggers their onset, but when a little boy dies by Jasmine's hand they can no longer wait for answers.

Doing what they do best, they take to the road once more believing a life of travel might be safer than planting roots.

But there's a Supermoon coming - the first in thirty years - and with it, a total lunar eclipse. Pete can feel the charge in the air, and it seems, so too, can Jasmine. With her terrible, secret legacy threatening to break through the shadows, Pete and Claire have a devastating reality to face.

Can you ever escape what you truly are?

Blood never lies.

Finally, going into 2019, I'll be publishing the third book in the Once Times Thrice series...

Autumn's Fall (Once Times Thrice)

Candy's world is falling apart. In a polyamorous relationship for the best part of five years, Lauren - her life partner and Tim's wife - is dying.

Going from three, to two, is a terrifying prospect, and love may not be enough to save their altering dynamics. Her closest friends don't even know she's polyamorous.

Then, Rachel walks into Candy's life - an optimistic, cheerful soul brightening her darkest corners. But it's too much, far too soon, no matter how much Candy wants or needs her.

She also needs Tim. But he's retreating into himself, the loss of the woman they both adore, too fragile a wound for him to share.

Caught between life and death, old and new, Candy's heart is too broken to choose a path, and to make matters worse, there's a witch in black dress who wants her heart for herself.

As autumn falls, new magic weaves into the wind entwining dark with light, and the lure of the dark - silent, without expectation - is a comforting thing.

In the midst of losing everything she holds dear, Candy's in danger of losing herself, too.
Expected February, 2019
Estimated word count: 80,000


And there you have it! Before all of that though, we have the Reign Of The Wolf paperback about to go on sale end of this month, and then the Eye Of The Storm Omnibus Edition planned for end of December.

And it feels so damn good to be busy again :)

I look forward to sharing it all with you.

​Love, Dianna xxx
