I am so excited to announce that my first ever paranormal/fantasy romance novel, Eternity’s Gamble, will be published by Decadent Publishing sometime soon!
This is the #supersecretproject
I had been working on all spring, the one I didn’t talk about outside of a
select few.
This idea was thrown
at me by a friend of mine. A small group of us wanted to do a project together,
based on the same theme, and after some discussion, we chose a corn maze. Each
of us would have our own take on it.
My idea was a game
created by a demonic figure. One minute, the characters are in a safe area, but
things can change in a heartbeat with a roll of the dice. Among the danger,
they manage to steal a few moments, sneaking in ways to say how much they love
each other, and work together to beat the demon and break a nasty spell.
I knew there would
be twists in it, but even I was surprised at some of them.
I’m not sure on a
publication date for this one. We are looking at having it available for the
Halloween season, but that depends on how fast we can get it edited and
proofed. I’m game for this – pun intended. In fact, I can’t wait to get deep
into revisions and I am going crazy waiting to get the cover from their Art
Department so I can start showing off the pretty! Their covers are absolutely
gorgeous, so I know I’ll get an amazing one.
I want to make it ultra-clear that I am not leaving Extasy Books. In fact, I am deep into writing the rest of the Feathered Tartan Series while I wait for my first round of edits for Eternity’s Gamble, and I hope to have Book 3 submitted to them as soon as I can.
I decided to keep
my contemporary books separate from my paranormal ones, and thought I’d try
another publisher for this one. I’m glad I did. Like Extasy Books, Decadent
Publishing is one of the top independent houses in the world, and have been
amazing to me. I look forward to sending them more of my crazy ideas in the
future!

Eternity’s Gamble
By V.J. Allison
Can love beat the odds, or will the dice decide their fate?
Expecting the usual entertainment at the local Nova Scotia exhibition,
Charles Hazard is less than impressed by the secluded corn maze his long-time
friend and secret crush, Tiffany, drags him to. The repulsive state of decay,
and the creepy dummy guarding the entrance of the maze have Charles anxious to
leave, but his sense of self-preservation wars with his desire to make Tiffany
happy.
Tiffany Morrow doesn’t think much of the tarot card reading she had only
days before the annual exhibition, and has all but forgotten the prophet’s
words and how she drew the Death Card when she comes across a spooky looking
corn maze. There’s only one person she wants to explore the stalks with. She’s
been in love with her best friend, Charles, for as long as she can remember.
His level head, introverted tendencies, and unique ginger sexiness call to the
most intimate parts of her.
Their fun quickly takes a dark turn when the maze morphs into a game of
life or death. From a quiet sunflower field, to a treacherous walk across a
volcano’s cone, to an encounter with a creature out of horror legend, each roll
of the dice forces them to work as a team or perish in a way they most fear.
Amidst the danger-filled labyrinth, they delight in small, stolen
moments and find the soul mate they have been searching for. However, as with
most games of chance performed at a devil’s will, there is more to this sport than
there appears. Could they really be the only ones within the walls of their
confines, or are other creatures lurking?
In a terrifying twist of fate, their chances at forever could be ripped
away from them by a single roll of the die…
Victory may linger out of reach, and a curse of eternal agony and
loneliness could be their fate. Or just once the die might roll in their favour.
But what are the odds of that?
Eternity’s Gamble is a friends to lovers
paranormal horror romance.
Coming Soon from Decadent Publishing!
