Lorelei Johnson Newsletter - August

Lorelei Johnson Newsletter

Hello, lovely readers!

I know I’ve been MIA for a while now as I’ve tackled the joys (or lack there of) of pregnancy. I’ve had a rather symptomatic one, unfortunately, and as it’s my first it’s all very new to me. And then, of course, there’s the matter of trying to get everything ready, and let me tell you, with only 4 weeks left, I do not feel prepared…

But that’s not why you’re here. You’re here for the good stuff, the bookish updates!

Bookish Updates

Alright, so I haven’t been writing much of late but since going on maternity leave, things have been picking up! The next anticipated release is none other than Queen of Ever! I know some of you have been patiently waiting for almost a year now, and Hailey and I are busting our butts to try and get it to you September 30th.

I am very pleased with how this book is coming along so far, and I can’t wait to get it into your hot little hands!

As for When You Burn Me, I’m looking at a 2025 release date for that one now. I haven’t officially decided on a date for it yet, but I will keep you posted.

Upcoming Releases

Queen of Ever: Curse of Fate and Fae, Book #2

Release date: September 30 2024 (hopefully)
Blurb reveal: coming later this month!

This is the final chapter of Tarian and Imogen’s story (but not the final chapter of the series!) and we’ll finally get that cliffhanger paid off!

When You Burn Me: Chicago Witches, Book #1

Coming 2025

They say all's fair in love and war. Better stay out of her was if you don't want to get burned.

 Sienna had built a life in Chicago with this crazy coven of witches she now called family, but she never forgot the events that brought her to them, the night her parents died. Without any leads, their deaths had gone unpunished, and she’d only been left with questions no one would answer.

But everything changes when her past catches up to her, and it brings far more danger than she ever could have imagined.

Damon has never belonged anywhere, and he doesn't have any illusions about that. As a half-breed in a faction of dark witch purists, he was never going to fit. He’d accepted his fate. After all, no one ever left the Order alive.

But Sienna Quinn awakens something in him, shaking him to his core, and now he's forced to walk a dangerous line. Sienna is a light witch, and light and dark don’t mix. Not ever.

As he grapples with betrayal and heartache, unable to give up the one thing he can't have, will he find a way to keep her or will it all go up in flames?

When You Burn Me is the tantalising first book in the Chicago Witches series. If you like witchy shenanigans, star-crossed lovers, and fated mates, then you'll love this steamy paranormal romance by Lorelei Johnson.

Yes, that’s right, I’m getting back into the freebie promos. I’ll try to give you guys one of these every month because it’s a fantastic way to discover new authors, and who doesn’t like free books?

That's it for this month. I hope you're having a fabulous 2024 so far, and as always:

Happy reading!
