“I’ve only just remembered that I asked you and Sam to survey the cargo and supplies. What did you find?”

He blanches. “THAT’S what you were thinking about when I was kissing you?”

“Why? What were you thinking about?” The question slips free in a desperate bid for control over the situation. But I embolden him.

He steps closer, looking as though he means to kiss me again and remind me what I should be thinking of. But when he leans down, it’s not to my lips… but my ear. The Allarian nobleman’s voice is a velvety purr as his breath mists over my lobe.

“I was thinking of mouths,” he says innocently. “Hot and wet.”

My own mouth goes dry.

“Skin,” Leo continues, drawing the back of his hand down my cheek. “Taut and tight.”

I shiver in delicious anticipation, unable to help it as I lean into his touch.

“Your voice,” he says.

“Leo, I–“

“Yes, just like that,” he says, pulling back slightly to look down at me with a smirk. “Your voice saying my name. However did you guess?”

All right, enough is enough. I step back and frown. “Your report of the cargo, Mr. Wesson?” I ask pointedly.

It doesn’t break the delight dancing in his eyes. Where had my flustered nobleman gone? I wonder with dismay. But I’d forgotten that Leo was the same cocksure boy who had swept his way into Captain Ilene’s cabin on the Luck and never broke a sweat.

“Ah, that’s right,” he says with the same low pitch to his voice. “You wanted to know what we found down below.” His lips quirk. “Coincidentally, that was something I was thinking of during our kiss as well.”

My brow furrows.

“We found sheets, you see, Grace,” he says smoothly. “Miles and miles of tangled sheets.”

What happens when a monster girl falls for a princess? The Little Monster release

Posted April 18, 2019 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Books, Lady Pirates / 0 Comments

The Little Monster release graphic

The Little Monster release

The Little Monster: an LGBT retelling of The Little Mermaid and a prequel to the Lady Pirates series is available now!

The little monster met the little human. And that was the beginning and end of the world as they knew it.

MARA is a monster. One of the feared Mordgris, mermaid-like sea monsters of the deep who steal faces and souls. They trail pirate, naval, and merchant ships alike in the hopes of finding their next meal.

AMISTA’s father just fell overboard for the Mordgris to feast upon. Good riddance, she thinks. He was a shoddy example of a father and not a much better king. And she’s tired of being a proper princess and pretending otherwise for polite society.

When the two meet, Mara knows she should make a meal of the little human. But how can she resist discovering more about the one who behaves so differently from the rest of her kind?

And to Amista, Mara may not be so monstrous after all…

In this imaginative new spin on the classic tale of The Little Mermaid and prequel to the Lady Pirates series, Mara and Amista will battle decades-long fear and loathing between their kinds.

And not everyone will get to keep their soul.

1-click The Little Monster today!

A letter on Through Fathoms Dark and Deep Release Day

On Through Fathoms Dark and Deep release day, a letter to the newest Lady Pirates book

It’s Through Fathoms Dark and Deep release day and you know what that means! Time for a letter to my newest book that’s out in the world.

Dear Fathoms,

I think you’re the fastest I’ve ever written a book. Not just drafted, but drafted, drafted again, and revised it. And that’s in part because your–Grace’s–voice was so strong for me. Her thoughts rang out clear as a bell and her story just begged to continue on.

Fathoms, you focused on a different aspect of the story of the Lady Pirates series and I think you helped Grace grow majorly as a character.

I also want to thank you for coming through so clearly for the readers, who have been eager for their next installment. I didn’t want to disappoint them with a horrendously long wait as I had in the past.

On the day of the Through Fathoms Dark and Deep release, I just want to say, I’m proud of you. I’m proud of us.

Happy release day!

Your author,

Jennifer Ellision

Kingdom of Glass and Ashes

Kingdom of Glass and Ashes You may be asking yourself what Kingdom of Glass and Ashes is, when we all know I should be hard at work getting the rest of the Lady Pirates series to you, right… right?!

Now Available: The Over Raging Tides Audiobook

Now Available: The Over Raging Tides Audiobook

Ahoy there, lovely readers! Exciting news! The Over Raging Tides audiobook is out now! The Over Raging Tides audiobook was produced by Victoria Boulton, who brought not only a stellar reading, but also her lovely British accent to the narration. Victoria created an immersive listening experience that wowed me– and I knew it would the second that I listened to her audition for the book. Many of the narrators who auditioned for the Over Raging Tides audiobook were undoubtably talented, but not the perfect fit for the story, like Victoria was. What’s more, Victoria went the extra step of messaging me before she recorded the audition to see whether I would prefer she read it in an English or American accents. Talented as she is, she’s capable of both! Once I heard her audition and confirmed she’d be available to record the rest of the […]

A Letter to Over Raging Tides on its Release Day

A Letter to Over Raging Tides on its Release Day

It’s the release day of Over Raging Tides, book 1 in the Lady Pirates series! I have a bit of a tradition on this blog wherein I write a letter to my new book and characters on the day of a book release. I’m pretty fond of it at this point. I spend so long trying to get IN their heads, it’s not often that I get to talk TO them. So. Dear Grace– and Over Raging Tides, You guys and Over Raging Tides have lived quietly in the back of my mind for a while now. While the first scene of Over Raging Tides that I wrote burst into my mind with a bang, you were pretty content to wait your turn while I finished Elementals: The Threats of Sky and Sea series. That’s incredible to me in some […]

October Mini-reviews

October Mini-reviews

I read… kind of a lot this past month and I often miss book blogging because I miss talking about my reading! I don’t know if I’ll do a reading wrap-up every month, but I read some really cool stuff in October that I just had to yammer on about a bit. Here are my October mini-reviews of the books I read last month. Fiction YA Fantasy Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J. Maas Throne of Glass is possibly my favorite on-going series. Possibly my favorite series. I’ve been in deep love with these books since reading an ARC of Throne of Glass. And Empire of Storms doesn’t disappoint. With each installment, Mass draws her readers further into the intricate world she’s created, unfolding more and more plot and whirling us around the twists and turns the story takes. I […]

A letter to FALL OF THRONES AND THORNS on its release day

Dear FALL, Wow. We made it. We did it. Can you believe it? …No. Me either. I said it with your predecessor, RIOT and I’ll say it again: sequels are hard. But I never expected you to be as hard as you were. You were like… like heading off to climb a mountain and discovering that I’d left my equipment at home. It was backtrack after backtrack. But, eventually, together, we found the proper tools. The proper mindset. We climbed that mountain. And today, you can look out over that vista and see the world, waiting to greet you. I’m going to miss your world. Your characters– Bree, Aleta, Caden, Tregle, Meddie, Liam, Elena… But man. Am I ever glad that you found your way from your world into mine. Love always, Your author Readers, you can now find Fall of […]
