The Epic Conclusion of Karen Wiesner's Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series is now available! BAD BLOOD, Book 11: Bloodmoon Cove Spirits Series Romantic Paranormal Fantasy Blood will have blood… George Maulson and Chenoa Eponi are some of the last descendants of the Mino-Miskwi Native American tribe. Their elders disappeared a hundred and twenty five years ago during a ritual on Bloodmoon Mountain that tore a hole in the veil between the physical world and the spirit realm. When an entity calling itself "The Ancient One" contacts both George and Chenoa, they don’t know whether to listen and heed…or run for their lives. George's great-nephew Rafe Yager settled in Bloodmoon Cove five years ago. Despite having a wife and a young family to protect now, putting aside his ghost hunting days wasn't possible, living in a place so concentrated with otherworldly activity. From the beginning, George has been cautious about anything mystical. But is eldritch justice the only thing that can heal Erie County's paranormal vulnerability once and for all? Or will the already thin veil between worlds be sundered completely?

Sympathetic protagonists and secondary characters face dire threats in a conflict whose outcome will change the town and the tribe forever, whether for better or worse. The overarching series theme of the past elders’ disastrous rupture of a portal between this world and the spirit realm at last reaches its resolution. The climactic battle is entirely worth the wait. Especially effective is the way the author blends mundane, wholly realistic problems and tensions with mythic motifs. This is a can’t-miss experience, as readers will rejoice in witnessing some characters attain well-deserved happiness." ~Margaret L.

WHAT'S NEW E-books and e-publishing have really advanced in the last three decades. When I first entered this arena in 1998, e-books were the ugly stepsister of "real books". Fast-forward thirty years, and it's a whole different world now than those early pioneering days in the industry. Back in 2003, when e-books and e-publishing still hadn’t made much of an impact, I wrote an article called “Who Came First?” detailing the evolution of these fledgling endeavors. Reflecting on changes keeps history relevant. To that end, over the course of four weeks, I posted this four-part article. Check it out here: Part 1: https://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2025/08/who-came-first-astounding-advances-in.html Part 2: https://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2025/08/who-came-first-astounding-advances-in_0697897706.html Part 3: https://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2025/09/who-came-first-astounding-advances-in.html Part 4: https://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2025/09/who-came-first-astounding-advances-in_01383697888.html On the Alien Romances Blog, I'm reviewing books I love.

He is the perfect choice to be the last story in this marvelous series. The author has a way of ensuring that the reader can see and understand the sides of both main characters. This romance kept my attention from the first page until the last. Between the blooming romance, obstacles and drama, I never found myself growing bored. Most stories tend to slow down a bit in the middle, but not this one! This is a clean romance, meaning that you will not find any inappropriate scenes. That makes this romance perfect for ALL ages! Karen Wiesner writes some of the best warm, feel-good ending stories of our time!” ~Huntress Reviews https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/peaceful-pilgrims-series.html https://www.writers-exchange.com/a-peaceful-pilgrim-novel-series/ AUTHOR PAGES Writers Exchange: http://www.writers-exchange.com/Karen-Wiesner/ Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/Karen%20Wiesner Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/karenwiesner Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/karenwiesner BookBub: https://www.bookbub.com/authors/karen-wiesner WORKS IN PROGRESS MOMENTS https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/works-in-progress.html In 2025, I intend to work as if I'm already retired, except in the case of whenever my publisher is ready to work on editing my last nine books for publication/issue (not counting an OOP children's book I hope will be reissued).
