Jami’s Books

Jami currently has two novels ready for submission:  The Resurrected, an urban fantasy with women’s fiction elements, and The Treasure of a Dragon’s Heart, a paranormal romance.

In addition, she also has a novella, The Hornet’s Virgin, a dystopian romance with paranormal and steampunk elements.

The Resurrected

To save the world, a mother must sacrifice her family.

No one would claim an ex-con-artist has the makings of a good mother.  Especially not Collette.  Regardless, she won’t let the past keep her from giving her son the loving childhood she never had.  In fact, devoting herself to her husband and young son seems like the perfect way to atone for her sins.

But her chance for redemption disappears when a power-hungry immortal orchestrates her abduction.  His scheme to control the world depends on her, willing or not.  The last thing she wants to do is add to her score of transgressions, so she rebels against his commands—until he threatens to kill her family.

Now Collette must choose: thwart his plans and endanger her husband and son, or submit and allow this tyrant to enslave humanity.

Completed 95K urban fantasy with women’s fiction elements.  Although this is a self-contained story with a definitive ending, it is intended to be the first book in The 7th Generation series.

The Treasure of a Dragon’s Heart

Kleptomaniac.  Jewel thief.  Dragon.

Elaina Drake can’t help hoarding treasure. But she refuses to kill humans in pursuit of the jewels that serve as her food, even though she needs the strength to evade her murderous father. Facing starvation, she’s stuck in her humanoid form and has no choice but to steal—er, acquire a priceless necklace.

Arrogant Billionaire and… Knight?

Alexander Wyatt, Chicago’s most powerful corporate titan, gets what he wants, and he wants the beauty he catches with a stolen necklace. Dragon-lore says only a knight could see her loot, yet Alex’s armor is nowhere close to shining. His silence about her crime comes with a price, a dangerous game of seduction and control.

Passion Ignites but Vulnerability Burns

Caught between temptations, Elaina must decide if a chance at happiness is worth the cost—never stealing again and staying weak forever. Will she succumb to fears of her father, or risk everything and surrender to love?

Completed 86K standalone paranormal romance.

The Hornet’s Virgin

While this is a low-class hornet’s snuggery, I still have a shred of self-respect.

Like all female orphans in Downriver, Julia’s life follows a predictable path.  Work from the age of two.  Endure slavery at a snuggery from the age of eight.

And hope no one buys the key to her belt.

But when a powerful member of the ruling class pays a record amount for the right to strip her of her virginity, she’s going to lose her belt, the one thing protecting her from the rape gangs.  Julia’s days of relative safety will end—unless she can unravel the secrets of Downriver in time to save herself.

Completed 20K dystopian romance with paranormal and steampunk elements.  A spam comment to my blog (“While this is a low-class hornet’s snuggery”) inspired the first line of this novella and developed into a full-blown world, filled with hornets, snuggers, and the man who secretly controls them all.
