Preorder Moody as a Minotaur

Author Update / By

The preorder is live for Moody as a Minotaur!

This is the first book in the new Willow Lake Pack series, because the quirky supernatural small town of Willow Lake needs more happily-ever-afters! Everything kicks off with Levi and Parker’s story (aka our favorite minotaur and his favorite human)! Yay! They’ve waited so long!

Blurb and cover to come.

Note: This is a fun paranormal romance spin-off from the Willow Lake Supernaturals series. In it, you’ll find a lot of familiar characters but you do not need to read that series before you dive into this one. If you are curious about what happens in Willow Lake Supernaturals, you can start with Hellhounds Never Lie (Book 1).

Characters: Levi and Park

Release date: February 5, 2026 (but this book is expected to release earlier than this!)

I have been looking into more places to connect with people on the internet. And I’ve been watching to see where the people who are leaving FB end up…

I’m going to be honest, I won’t be able to keep up with all the places on the internet. My brain just isn’t wired that way. And, at the moment, I have no intention of leaving FB because this is where I’ve made the best connections… with you (my readers) and with other authors. I haven’t seen any other app that comes close to that yet.

But I have signed up for a few new apps.

First is MM Wire. It is specifically built as a free place for MM authors and readers to hang out on the Circle app.
It is pretty new and you can find it here: https://themmwire.circle.so/c/mm-romance/
I have a brand new author spot there too: https://themmwire.circle.so/c/lori-ames/

I also have a new BlueSky profile here: https://bsky.app/profile/loriames.bsky.social

If you know of another fabulous place, let me know. Is it Discord? Something else?

I will continue to add to the store, but if you would like something that I currently don’t offer, let me know! The items are through a print-on-demand store, so I am limited by what they have a available. But if it is feasible, I will see what I can do to add it!

Cats Never Fly (Willow Lake Supernaturals #4)

is available to pre-order at Amazon!

Protect his nine lives. Check. Find a pretty treasure. Check. Summon a dragon. Ch– Wait, what?

Cat shifter Simon refuses to jeopardize any of his nine lives, thank you very much. That saying “curiosity killed the cat” won’t ever apply to him. No way, no how.

Except…

When he’s out hunting for field mice one night, he finds the most wonderful whistle. It’s magical and intriguing and so very, very pretty. He knows he should return it, but what’s the worst that could happen if he blew on it first? Just once.
Months later, he finally has the courage to do just that, and when he does, the craziest thing happens. He summons a dragon, of all things.

Now what is he supposed to do? Particularly when Simon would rather keep the gorgeous dragon shifter than send him back to where he came from…

Tags: MM Fated Mates Paranormal Romance, a scaredy cat who needs to find his inner lion, a flirtatious dragon, more caged supes, gray sweatpants, shiny magical whistles do amazing things, cats don’t fly, having nine lives is the best, are ‘50s songs better than ‘80s songs?

Main Characters: Simon and Ogden

Tropes: Fated Mates, Supernatural Small Town, Timid / Scared Hero, Flirty Dragon, Forced Proximity (ish), Unexpected Abduction.

Oracles Always Win – now up for pre-order

Author Update / By
Pre-Order on Amazon
Oracles Always Win (Willow Lake Supernaturals Book 3) is now available to pre-order on Amazon!
Release date: February 15, 2024!

Jake believes he is absolutely and completely ordinary… But what if he isn’t?

Jake is absolutely, completely ordinary, even if he has a weird painting affliction. Painting is relaxing, right? It helps. It’s a form of art therapy. Even if his is the sub-conscious kind of painting. The middle-of-the-night, paint-while-you-sleep kind. The kind that makes him puke every single time it happens.
Okay. So, maybe that’s not exactly normal.
But when the sexy but imaginary guy with horns, who his weird painterly alter-ego has been fixated on for the last year, suddenly shows up in town with horns and all, Jake doesn’t know what to think. Especially when the not-so-imaginary guy claims he’s a demon and that Jake’s an oracle of all things. That’s when Jake begins to suspect his life is never going to be the same again.
After all, he mentioned the horns, right?

Tags: A demon in search of a home, an oracle unknowingly in need of a tether, the talking cat is a messy eater, oracles know things, oracles shouldn’t paint in public in only their underwear, the wolves in the hills are still jerks, a formerly human guy keeps asking crazy questions, who knew horns and wings could be sexy, and… just how many supernatural beings will be drawn to this one little town?
