Heya! Oh, nothing much—just a little dinner tabl

Heya! Oh, nothing much—just a little dinner table power struggle. Layla swore she would rather starve than give in, while Jo promised that if she didn’t eat, he’d make sure she did… in the most inappropriate way imaginable.

Guess who caved? Yep—she’s finally eating, though every bite looks like a silent threat to wipe that smug grin off his face. And knowing Layla, she’ll be plotting her next “accidental” attempt to kill him right after dessert. (Her schedule’s very reliable—six days a week with Sundays off to rest. 😂)

I cannot wait for you to dive into their love-hate chaos next month! But first, you’ll actually see him in *Chasing Nicole*, where he plays a pivotal role in Bobby and Nicole’s story.

✨ Read chapters as I write them here: [patreon.com/authortessastone](http://patreon.com/authortessastone)

And a huge thanks to the artist who captured all the raw emotion of this scene—absolutely perfect! 💖

Happy reading, loves! 🖤

✨ MEET JACKIE MURPHY ✨
The queen of confidence and curves who’s about to meet her match on the Wintermoon Cruise! 💅🏾

She runs Big Jackie’s boutique in Downtown Detroit, where she’s been transforming plus-size women with her fashion expertise and unshakable belief that every body deserves to shine. ✨

This Detroit-born fashionista keeps her face beat, hair laid, and her confidence on 100... even when life throws challenges her way. When gentrification threatens her business, does she crumble? NEVER. Instead, she books herself a luxury cruise because sometimes a girl needs to treat herself! 👑

Little does she know that fate has something special waiting for her aboard that ship... a certain bear shifter named Jabari who’s about to discover his honey isn’t in a jar! 🐻❤️

📖 No release date yet! Just started this book. But if you want, you can read the chapters as I finish them on Patreon.
📚 Yes, when this is finished, it’s being published on Amazon’s KU.

Jackie is the fated mate of Jabari of the Frost Clan. I’ll introduce him in a couple of days. He’s the cousin of Tristian from Chasing Ebony.

Resisting Damon is dropping this Saturday, Septemb

Resisting Damon is dropping this Saturday, September 13—exclusively on my website!

About the Book:
This is an interracial romance featuring Damon, a centuries-old vampire and former Roman soldier. Damon has a dark, dangerous edge—he’s into knife play, so there’s a bit of kink in this story. Vampires, witches, warlocks, and a love that defies the odds—this book has it all.

Where to Read:
The chapters are live on Patreon now, and the final, polished version will be available for purchase this weekend.

I’m already moving on to my next project, Snatching Jackie, but I’ll share more about that tomorrow. For now, get ready to meet Damon.

Happy reading!

The way I’m itching to write this book! 😩 Not until October, though… 😔 I have to stick to the plan, no matter how hard it is to wait.

You’ll meet Josiah in Chasing Nicole, which I’m 50% done writing. He won’t appear in Loving Amari, as I’m setting up Carla’s ascension to goddess level in preparation for my Black Charmed-themed spin-off of the Blackwood witches (Angie, Carla, and Anora). This spin-off will officially close out Wintermoon for good next year.

Josiah has a thing for curvier women—Layla, his fated mate, and her curves are what capture him at first sight. But their story begins tragically. This will be one of the darkest books I’ve ever written in the Wintermoon universe . It’s going to take a strong woman to tame Josiah’s madness.

Can voluptuous Layla handle him? Or will the task drive her to madness in the process?

Get ready to meet him in Chasing Nicole! There’s a glimpse of his madness on Patreon, and I’m just getting started.

Happy reading!

Note: Thank you to my wonderful artist for bringing my characters to life! Such a beautiful drawing of Layla and Josiah. More character art coming soon!

Heya, friends! It’s been a minute, but I’m s

Heya, friends!

It’s been a minute, but I’m sliding back into Bear Shifter-ville for a hot minute! 🐻✨ This time, you’ll meet Tristian’s cousin from Chasing Ebony. He’s part of the Frost Clan, recently integrated into Wintermoon, and… let’s just say he’s not handling things too well.

That all changes when he meets his fated mate, Jackie—a plus-sized fashion influencer who empowers women to embrace their curves and discover their own unique style. Jackie boards the Wintermoon Cruise looking for a much-needed escape from the real world. What she doesn’t know is that her fated mate is waiting on board—and Wintermoon is about to become her forever home.

Jackie smells like honey, and when this big, gentle bear catches a whiff… whew, it’s over for her. 😏🐾

📚 Chapters will be dropping first on Patreon starting at the end of next week, and once the story is complete, it’ll go live on Amazon KU. This will be a short story, the same length as Chasing Ebony, but I’ll be diving deeper into the dynamics of the Bear Shifter communities in Wintermoon as their love story unfolds.

Right now, I’m about 50% into Chasing Nicole and 90% finished with Resisting Damon—so lots of goodies are coming your way soon!

I’m currently on a short family vacation, but I wanted to pop in with this update. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday weekend! 💕

Let’s Meet Josiah!

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!

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 $Ready to meet Josiah “Crazy Jo” Dupree? Brace yourselves for the most deliciously unhinged character to enter the Wintermoon universe! 🩸 This vampire’s fractured mind and twisted reality will both terrify and fascinate you. Josiah is strikingly handsome, with refined, almost angelic features that mask the chaos within. Behind his impeccable suits, charming smile, and captivating eyes—shifting from deep brown to crimson red when he’s hunting—lies a completely shattered psyche. Born in Louisiana in 1803 and turned in 1823 by Damon after a brutal beating, Jo’s traumatic past left him detached from reality, experiencing time non-linearly. His beauty is his deadliest weapon, luring you in until it’s too late. When his mask slips, you’ll witness chilling moments like these: 🪞 Staring at his reflection in a shattered mirror: “I see seven of me in there. Which one do you think is the real one? I vote for none of them. The real me died in 1823. Damon just didn’t let the body know it yet.” 🔥 Standing among buildings ablaze, smiling with blood-stained fangs: “You told me to burn it.” Bobby: “I didn’t tell you to burn it ALL, just the radical building!” “Why not? Fire doesn’t discriminate. Neither do I.” You’ll meet this dangerously captivating vampire in Bobby and Nicole’s upcoming book, with glimpses of his darkness in Damon and Selene’s novella, currently on Patreon! 💀 Who’s ready to dive into Jo’s twisted world? ✨ #CrazyJo #WintermoonSeries #ComingSoon #ParanormalRomance #BlackParanormalRomance #BlackFantasy #BlackLove #DarkRomance #DarkParanormalRomance #BlackBookTok #BlackBookstagram #BlackVampires #BlackAuthors #BlackCreatives #BookLovers #IndieAuthor #FantasyAddict$

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.
