Who knew dying would be the easy part of my day? 
 
It all started the night Chase, my mountain lion shifter ex, reappeared. We’d had a whole good girl/bad boy romance going until he abandoned me a decade ago. I’d gone to Syn City for a little fun before being trapped in my hometown forever.  
 
Then I was murdered by a maniac and my night really fell apart.  
  
But somehow, Chase managed to strike a deal on a blood oath and bring me back as a Fury. He wants a second chance at romance, claiming we’re fated mates. 
 
Now, I have to deal with the guy I thought I’d never see again, find and punish my murderer, and participate in a giant supernatural roller derby (long story)—all while trying to earn my wings. 
  
And if I fail? I’ll end up dead. Again…only this time, it’ll be permanent. 
  
All I can say is that it’s a good thing hell hath no fury like an actual Fury.  
 
How to Date a Fury, the first book in the Syn City trilogy, is a dark, sexy, paranormal romance featuring a reluctant Fury and the shifter who broke her heart but wants a shot at mending it. Happily ever after (and plenty of snarky fun) guaranteed. Perfect for fans of Linsey Hall, Jaymin Eve, and Amelia Hutchins. Download today.

Want to keep up to date on Luna's work? Follow her on Amazon, Bookbub, Goodreads, and join her street team group, Luna's Lovelies, for excerpts, giveaways, and sneak peeks at upcoming work.

​Anyone that spends any time on Luna's social media, knows that Luna has a partner in literary crime. But who could for a cuter fellow to have your back than him?
Do you know the name of her tiny rescue chihuahua?

​Answer: Deputy District Attorney
All of her books have an aspect of mystery to them, and the mystery is often a key to the growth of the characters. She works alongside detectives, forensics, and attorneys, both prosecutors and defense, and has a front seat watching our judicial system work, and that passion seeps into her books.

​Joya's Legacy Series recently under went a cover change--from couples to sizzling abs and enticing pecs. But the internet has a very long memory, and you can still find her old covers in places. So the question is--what was the hair color of Delia on the cover of the first book of the Legacy Series, Magic Touch?
Hint: The original cover is still on the audiobooks.

​Answer: Luna last attended the Love and Devotion Event to sign her books.
The event held authors and cover models and readers were welcomed to join them for lunch at the Sheraton Hotel and Marina.
Her next upcoming event will be at a Book Carnival in Orange, California from noon to 2p.m.
You can find pictures of her Love and Devotion Event and the Open Canyon Signing that happened before it, here.

Normally, I take an author's description of the event and try to give readers the feeling of being there, because I've always wanted to know what it's like, and I'm often distance challenged when it comes to seeing our authors at signings--our authors are spread across the country.
The piece Michelle wrote, however, had so much of her in it, that it just needed to be put up here without any interference from me.
QuestCon Orlando was actually almost a month ago--slow much, Echo?--but better late than never. If you're interested in attending the next QuestCon Orlando, you can check it our here.
Michelle has more signing's coming up, but nothing that's been announced yet. If you'd like to keep up with Michelle's signings, watch her calendar on her page.
Note: Michelle's next book is coming out under her more "smexy" pen name, Noa Rose. An MMF romance, A New Game is set to release October 15.
Check out the view from Michelle Schad's table at the con:

​QuestCon Orlando happened August 20, 2022. It was their inaugural convention, held at the Holiday Inn and Suites in Orlando, FL. The advertising for it spread through the local gaming community like wildfire. As it captivated my target audience, I applied to vend thinking, if nothing else, I could start getting my name out there not only as a writer, but as a DM too. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised!
 
The con was attended by roughly 200 people, all gamers of some flavor, along with their families and significant others. Having attended many gaming cons in the past without vendors, I was not expecting much in the way of sales or even flow through the vendor room. I - and the other vendors in the room - were so wrong!
 
People flowed through that room in droves, to the point where it was single-file only to pass through the row I was in. There were panels from local gamers and artists, table-top games of all kinds to run, a costume contest, cosplayers, and the very clever use of scavenger hunts by two exhibitors that got people moving through the vendor room like hunter bees for flowers. These people came to have fun, to learn, and to spend money! Wow, did they spend money!
 
The general consensus from all the vendors I spoke to, was shock at how well everyone was doing sales wise. I sat between an artist and a self-published card game maker. As it was only a 1-day con, that might have made a difference. There was no chance for con-goers to ‘wait until the last day’ when they only sometimes come back. The two scavenger hunts sent people all through the vendor room asking questions, taking pictures, and, yes, spending money. 
 
I set up a sign that read “Roll a Nat20 to win a free book!” which counted for the scavenger hunt and then had people rolling to try to win. Even if they didn’t, a little more than half the time they bought a book anyway. I had four Nat20 winners total that day, but the draw to roll dice was too great to pass up for the casual gamer. 
 
I had discussions with several people that were entranced by the fact that I not only write books, but run a game based on my novel Ashes to Embers. I told anecdotes of my tables, of my gaming and writing career, and had repeat visitors to my table. My vendor neighbor attracted quite a bit of attention with a raffle that kept people effectively trapped at my table (thank you, Lumenvoid!) to chat, shop, look at stickers, or read back flaps. 
 
The staff were all pleasant and helpful. The other vendors were just as excited as I was to see people coming in to spend, chat, and learn. I will gladly return next year to QuestCon which is not something I say lightly about cons.
