Hear me out: What if the world is dark, the plot dark, and he -- well, he's a confirmed killer, and he doesn't feel even a little bit guilty about that part.

But the romance?

Healthy. Ridiculously, stupidly healthy. Open and honest communication. Mutual respect. Enthusiastic consent.

And that's before you get to the other one -- yes, there's two of them -- and that one is unhinged. Murderous doesn't even begin to cover it. He makes the first one look like a boy scout.

But he's down on his knees for you.

Hello, I'm Juno, an indie author, and I'd like you to give my debut novel a chance -- it's just $3 for the digital edition.

Catalyst is an urban fiction/paranormal romance about Severine, a woman with the rare ability to amplify others' powers.

She's sworn to serve the most powerful mage in the city -- but when another Catalyst is murdered by an unknown killer, Severine has to figure out how to get out before she ends up captured, dead, or worse.

Along the way, she has to navigate battling mages, bloodthirsty vampires, and shifting alliances -- plus a blossoming romance with two dangerous men who are willing to kill for her, even if that means killing each other.

Can she figure out how to save herself -- and the two men she's falling in love with -- before the killer finds them?

Catalyst is written for readers who want lots of plot, lots of romance, and lots of spice -- plus magic, mystery, and so much murder.

Available in Digital and Print formats on Amazon.

I've kissed three men in the last twenty-four hours — and now one of them is dead, one of them might be a murderer, and one of them might be my salvation.

But which is which, and how do I get out of the city alive?

My name is Severine, and I'm a Catalyst: a person with the rare ability to multiply another's power.

For a mage, that's an ability worth killing for.

Which might be exactly what happened. Or maybe I'm just a pawn in a bigger power play, with an end goal I can't yet see. Either way, I'm in mortal danger.

Surrounded by mages who want my power and vampires who want my blood, I need to figure out who I can trust with my life before I end up captured, dead, or worse.

And along the way, I may just discover who I can trust with my heart.

Book day approaches, which means my publisher has made a trailer for Catalyst? Which is, honestly, kind of wild to me!

I wasn't super involved in the production, I kind of just threw some ideas and scenes at them in random order, but I do like how moody it turned out!

I should be able to reveal the final cover soon, which I'm REALLY excited about. We are going with the winning cover from the poll, with some edits (like a change in font to the font you see in the book trailer) that really elevate the overall design.
