I’ve got nothing this week y’all. I’ve been offline because I’m recovering from pneumonia. Getting better though. ❤️ I’m still working, just slow about it. But lookie what I made. An Ash Clan insert for my iPad mini. Lauren and Sam. I couldn’t find any iPad mini inserts to purchase off Etsy 🥺 so I made one myself. I’m off to the dentist to get my braces tightened. Oh today is gonna suck 😂. Also, I’m on chapter 11 of Surviving Josiah. I’m having so much fun writing that book. I’ll update you all again in a couple of days. Happy reading and thank you for the love and support ❤️ #tessastone #blackromancebooks #blackbookstagram #blackbooktok #blackparanormalromance #shifterromance #kindleinserts

When a possessive bear shifter finds his fated mat

When a possessive bear shifter finds his fated mate, resistance is futile...

Jackie boarded the Wintermoon Cruise to escape her troubles—not to be claimed by a seven-foot bear shifter who says she’s his destiny.

Jabari has waited centuries for his mate. One scent of honey-sweet Jackie and his bear knows she’s THE ONE. He’ll risk everything—even sinking a ship—to protect what’s his.

Now Jackie’s whisked away to Wintermoon territory where supernaturals roam free and bear shifters are possessive AF. Jabari is infuriatingly sweet, impossibly devoted, and won’t take no for an answer.

Can an independent businesswoman surrender to the belonging she’s always craved? Or will she fight the fate that’s already claimed her heart?

Fated mates who can’t resist
Possessive alpha bear shifter
Curvy, confident heroine
Wintermoon Shorts Book 5

Available NOW on Kindle & FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

Just finished Snatching Jackie last night. I’m going dark today and taking a break from socials so I can focus on a round of editing before posting it to Patreon. Once it’s uploaded there, I’ll move into the final edits to get it ready for publication. This one is a short novel, so I’m hoping to publish it this weekend (Sat or Sun), but I’ll confirm the date later this week.

Life is still life-ing, and honestly, I think I need a serious social media break. I’m also 90% done with Chasing Nicole. Of course, my characters decided to stop talking to me. I was supposed to finish it by the 1st, but that didn’t happen. Thankfully I’ve only got about 12 chapters left, so it shouldn’t be long now.

Then there’s Loving Amari. I’ll be starting final edits next week along with promo. It was supposed to release today, but I’m just too tired—mentally drained.

That’s all the updates for now. Hoping to have a new release late this week. It’s been about 2 months since I’ve published to Amazon, heading into my third, but I’m taking my time with these stories.

Happy reading!

Step into a world where fate, love, and danger collide. Loving Amir by Tessa Stone is now on Audible!
https://www.audible.com/pd/Loving-Amir-Audiobook/B0FNFCP52F

Anora only wanted peace in her quiet, artistic life—until Amir walked in. Fierce, powerful, and bound by destiny, he claims her as his fated mate. But can she embrace a love that could spark a second Great War?

Narrated by Ebony Ford and Myles Washington, this story will pull you into a supernatural romance full of magic, prophecy, and heart-stopping emotion.

And exciting news… I just approved the audio cover for Healing Hazel, releasing this November! More details coming soon—can’t wait to share this next journey with you.

Heya! I’m getting really close to finishing my

Heya!

I’m getting really close to finishing my novella! My goal is to publish it on Sept 30, but let’s see how my creative brain behaves. I’m also making some changes to my schedule—Loving Amari is now pushed back to October, which means you’ll be getting two great reads next month: Loving Amari AND Chasing Nicole! I want to take my time and make sure these books are absolutely ready for publication.

Life has been life-ing over here, and social media has been kicking my butt when it comes to mental health, but I’m getting back on track! Oh, and my webstore is getting a revamp too, so lots of updates are coming soon.

In the meantime, I wanted to share a little teaser of my Bear Shifter novella, Snatching Jackie! I’m currently on Chapter 12 out of 22, so I’m getting close to the finish line. Y’all, I’m OBSESSED with Jackie and Jabari’s love story.

Jackie is a confident, beautiful, plus-size FMC who completely changes Jabari—a bear shifter who’s been out of touch with humans for centuries. Just by loving him, she makes him a better man. And Jabari? He makes sure Jackie has the world. It’s such a beautiful love story with a mix of drama and fun, including:
- Kade having a meltdown
- Jabari sinking a million-dollar ship
- And LOTS of petty bear shifter shenanigans

There’s no release date yet, but I promise it’s coming soon! And if you want to read as I write, the story is being written live on my Patreon right now.

Thank you so much for all your love and support—it means the world to me! And huge shoutout to my illustrator—she really knows how to bring my characters to life. So beautiful!

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.

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

Happy reading, loves! 🖤

✨ MEET JACKIE MURPHY ✨

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!
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?
