Lorelei Johnson Newsletter - March

Lorelei Johnson Newsletter

Hello, lovely readers!

I’m not entirely sure what happened to February. I seem to have blinked and missed it. How the heck is it already March?? In the whirlwind of starting solids, mum’s group, baby programs, and wake windows increasing while naps seem to be decreasing in number but not getting any longer, my days are all starting to bleed together into one big sleep deprived mess of monotony.

BUT! There are some fun bookish updates to report so lets take a look!

Bookish Updates

If you follow me on the socials, you would have seen that Prince of Never was recently up for free for Stuff Your Kindle with Fantasy. And boy was I blown away by the results! We have almost 7,500 downloads! This is a book that has never been free before, so clearly you guys were keen to snap up that bargain! It was such a huge success (and a lot of fun, actually) that I am absolutely going to be doing another one of these in the future if I get the chance.

The new co-written series with Hailey Jade has finally been had the title revealed! Bound by Sea and Stolen Skies. Pretty, right? If you like romantasy, pirates, captive romance, witty banter, and sassy FMCs, this one is for you! We expect this one to be out at the end of June this year and pre-orders are up now! (Amazon’s release date is longer because they’re not very flexible so it’s just as a fail safe and that will be updated closer to release).

There is a plan to commission some artwork for this one, which is always exciting, so stay tuned for those updates as we get through the writing process.

When You Dream of Me is available for pre-order now! This is book #2 in the Enchanted Hearts series and will be Elina’s story! I’ll release some more details about this one later down the line.

New Release

When You Burn Me: Enchanted Hearts, Book #1

When fate strikes, love ignites—and some flames are meant to burn.

Sienna found a family in her fierce, tight-knit coven, yet her past remains a shadow she can’t shake. Haunted by the brutal loss of her parents, she’s determined to find answers. But when long-buried secrets resurface, the life she's built is threatened by a danger darker than anything she’s known.

Damon has always been an outsider, an unwelcome half-breed in a faction of dark witches who thrive on purity and power. Trapped in a world that rejects him, he’s resigned himself to isolation—because no one leaves the Order alive. But when he meets Sienna Quinn, she calls to something in him he thought was long dead, and he’ll risk everything to keep it.

Their worlds weren’t meant to collide, yet their connection is undeniable. They know the rules: light and dark don’t mix. But rules were made to be broken… if they can survive the fallout. Torn between loyalty and desire, will they defy everything they've ever known or will it all go up in flames?

When You Burn Me is the captivating first book in the Enchanted Hearts series. Filled with slow-burn tension, forbidden desire, and the magnetic pull of fated mates, this steamy paranormal romance by Lorelei Johnson will leave you spellbound.

Upcoming Releases

Bound by Sea and Stolen Skies: Tales of the Wandering Tides, Book #1

Coming June 2025 (cover to be revealed soon!)

When You Dream of Me: Enchanted Hearts, Book #2

If you’ve read book #1, then you’ve probably guessed who the star of book #2 is and that this is a series of interconnected standalones. Very interconnected. As in, need to read in order (aside from the prequel novella). Book #2 is indeed Elina’s story! I’ll feed you some more tid bits about this one in subsequent newsletters.

Stock will typically be very limited on the day, especially for the interstate events (anything outside SA), so I highly recommend pre-ordering.

Paranormal Romance Freebies

Yes, that’s right, I’ve got more freebies for you! 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?

Shifter Romance in KU

Where are my KU shifter lovers? Find your next reads from this fantastic line up!

*Disclaimer (sort of): I know there’s been a LOT of talk about boycotting Amazon and lots of authors have been strongly voicing their opinions on the matter, especially regarding KU subscriptions. My stance is that readers should spend their money where they like for whatever reasons they like. It’s none of my business, it’s called free will. And that’s all I’m going to say on the matter. You do you, boo. No judgements here.

That's it for this month. I hope you have a great month, and as always:

Happy reading!
