Crazy Jo, as Wintermoon loves to call him, is sweet, charming, and completely unhinged. Oh, and did I forget to mention? He’s a vampire. He’ll give you the world, fulfill your heart’s deepest desires… but you’ll also have to contend with: 

- His precious piranhas, which he lovingly feeds the remains from his nightly escapades. 
- And the fact that he’ll burn down a city block just for fun! 

Can his fated mate tame him? Or will his chaos and hunger destroy them both? We shall see! 

Surviving Josiah is coming soon! 
While you wait, dive into Craving Carla, the first book in the Wintermoon Vampire Tales series. Are you ready to explore the dark side of Wintermoon?

Life has been lifing, but I’m back on my grind! Life has been lifing, but I’m back on my grind! 

Here’s a little update on what I’ve been up to behind the scenes: 

I’ve been deep in vampire ville within Wintermoon these past few weeks—swooning over Bobby and Nicole, while loving the action and chemistry between Damon and Selene 🩸🖤. 

On top of that, I’m gearing up for my first book signing event in just two weeks! I’m equal parts excited and nervous, but I can’t wait to meet some of you in person ✊🏾📚. I was hoping to finish Resisting Damon in time to have print copies ready for the event, but it’s looking like that won’t happen. Whomp whomp! 

That said, progress is coming along for Chasing Nicole. I won’t be releasing it until the end of October since it follows Loving Amari, but trust me—Nicole’s story is worth the wait. 

For the rest of the year, I’ll be living on the vampire side, but I’ve got plans to sprinkle in a bear shifter short or two along the way. Wintermoon Cruise? Bear Shifters? Confident Plus-Size FMC? Oh yes, it’s calling my name 🔥🐻. 

I’ll be back with more updates soon, but until then, happy reading! 🕯️📖

Ready to meet Josiah “Crazy Jo” Dupree? Brace Ready to meet Josiah “Crazy Jo” Dupree?

Brace yourselves for the most deliciously unhinged character to enter the Wintermoon universe! 🩸 This vampire’s fractured mind and twisted reality will both terrify and fascinate you. 

Josiah is strikingly handsome, with refined, almost angelic features that mask the chaos within. Behind his impeccable suits, charming smile, and captivating eyes—shifting from deep brown to crimson red when he’s hunting—lies a completely shattered psyche. 

Born in Louisiana in 1803 and turned in 1823 by Damon after a brutal beating, Jo’s traumatic past left him detached from reality, experiencing time non-linearly. His beauty is his deadliest weapon, luring you in until it’s too late. 

When his mask slips, you’ll witness chilling moments like these: 
🪞 Staring at his reflection in a shattered mirror: 
“I see seven of me in there. Which one do you think is the real one? I vote for none of them. The real me died in 1823. Damon just didn’t let the body know it yet.” 

🔥 Standing among buildings ablaze, smiling with blood-stained fangs: 
“You told me to burn it.” 
Bobby: “I didn’t tell you to burn it ALL, just the radical building!” 
“Why not? Fire doesn’t discriminate. Neither do I.” 

You’ll meet this dangerously captivating vampire in Bobby and Nicole’s upcoming book, with glimpses of his darkness in Damon and Selene’s novella, currently on Patreon!

Resisting Damon is one of my current WIPs on Patre Resisting Damon is one of my current WIPs on Patreon! This is one of only two interracial stories I’ll write under Tessa Stone. Damon and Selene’s book won’t be published on Amazon—it’ll be available exclusively on my website in eBook and paperback formats. 

Selene is an assassin, born and trained by an elite agency created by the elder Blackwood coven. Aya Bailey, a relentless hunter of the supernatural, was determined to destroy the Blackwoods. To protect their most precious assets, including The Book of the First, the Blackwoods created this agency. The Book of the First was the same spellbook that ultimately destroyed Aya. 

Angie sends Damon to retrieve the book, which leads him to his fated mate, Selene. She’s fierce, calculating, and a true warrior—something Damon notices right away. What follows is a dangerous dance of battle and passion. But Selene is no match for the pull of the mate bond or Damon’s irresistible charm. Despite all she’s been taught to stand against, Selene falls hard for the elder vampire. 

I’m currently on chapter 12 of their story. Resisting Damon is a short novella about how they meet, but I have plans for a second story where Selene becomes a vampire and gets her happily-ever-after with Damon! Until then, follow along as I write this deadly and passionate love story, and discover just how unhinged Damon can be when it comes to Selene. 

“Amor vincit omnia, etiam post bellum et mortem. Sed in amore, sicut in bello, victoria saepe sanguine constat.” 
(Love conquers all, even after war and death. But in love, as in war, victory often comes at a cost of blood.) 
—Damon 

Read along on Patreon at patreon.com/authortessastone. I’ll release the full novella on my website when it’s done.
