And at last, the final redesigned cover is revealed! I present you with Mortal Heart’s newest cover!
I love this new cover SO MUCH. It captures the ferocity of the book and evokes so many elements of the followers of Arduinna as well as Mortain. The extra material in the new paperback edition includes some fun Q and A that I had a lot of fun answering.
Here’s a link if you’d like to add it on GOODREADS.
As well as preorder links for those who want them.

Also! I had forgotten I had a couple of Pinterest boards I made while writing Mortal Heart that I never got around to making public. There’s one for Mortal Heart and one for Hellequin!
Also, also! I neglected to put up a GOODREADS button for COURTING DARKNESS. (Picture my publicist giving me a HARD side-eye!) If you’d like to add it now, feel free. 🙂 Maybe if we get enough adds, I can share something fun.
D’oh! And COURTING DARKNESS pre-order buttons! (Can you picture said publicist banging her head on the wall? Because yeah, I’m SO BAD at this.) But save receipts because there WILL be a pre-order campaign–with cool stuff!

And lastly, don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to be the first to see covers, read deleted scenes, and be in the know about all things His Fair Assassin!
I meant to reveal it last week, but we were slammed with record breaking heat–107 degrees with no air conditions and a power outage. So yeah. Best laid plans evaporated.
It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for YEARS, but am only now (with COURTING DARKNESS finally put to bed!) getting to: a newsletter!
I know, I know. Does the world really need another newsletter? Maybe not. But if you are hungry to know more about the His Fair Assassin world, the mythology, the history, occasional outtakes, insights to the writing process, and occasional author thoughts on writing and Life In General, then this is the place for you. Oh! And did I mention that newsletter subscribers will be THE VERY FIRST to see the new paperback reprint covers? As well as have access to exclusive content, writing workshops/worksheets, deleted scenes, and sneak previews?
And if all of that doesn’t tempt you, all subscribers will be entered in TWO drawings. One for a COURTING DARKNESS advanced reading copy and the second one for a set of the new paperback reprints when they publish in October. Everyone who subscribes before June 30 will be entered. (Yes–even those of you who signed up YEARS ago when the subscription form first appeared.)
The newsletter is tentatively titled The Inner Sanctum, although if you have any title ideas, let me know in the comments! If I use your idea, I will thank you with an ARC of COURTING DARKNESS. You can sign up HERE or in the sidebar.
And to whet your appetites just a little bit, here is a teaser preview of the new DARK TRIUMPH cover:
Also, feel free to mention what topics you’d like to read about in a newsletter. It’s for you, after all.
Hard to believe its been SIX YEARS since Grave Mercy first came out! And in honor of the release of Courting Darkness, my publisher is issuing new paperback reprints of the entire His Fair Assassin trilogy! Like the Courting Darkness cover, they were designed by Billelis. They are wildly different from the original covers, and I think this new one for Grave Mercy is stunning!
The paperback reprint will also include Extra Material–an unused scene from when the girls were at the convent together and a new epilogue. They’ll be available in October. I hope you love it as much as I do! (And this is probably a good time for me to point out that if you currently own a partial set of the original trilogy, and you want them all to match, now would be the time to complete that set while the original covers are still available.)
Stay tuned for the Dark Triumph cover next month!
(p.s. I am finally, finally going to be starting my newsletter. If you’re interested in some of the history behind the books or deleted scenes, more info about the HFA world, or general news/info/goodies about the books, the sign up link is in the sidebar.)
For those of you who didn’t catch the Mortal Heart cover reveal a couple of weeks ago, here it is!
Annith has watched her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered in the rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own.
But across Brittany, the tides of war are drawing ever nearer, with France pressuring the beleaguered duchess from all sides. Annith’s search for answers threatens to rip open an intricate web of lies and deceit that sit at the heart of the convent she serves. Yet to expose them threatens the very fabric of her existence and risks an unforeseen chance at love, one that she can no longer deny. Annith must carefully pick a path and, gods willing, effect a miracle that will see her country—and her heart—to safety.
For those of you who are super eager, you can pre-order Mortal Heart HERE:
