Hey, everyone. Grab a drink: something stiff if you’re hanging out with me, or maybe a sweet tea if you’re vibing with my "other half": because we have a lot to talk about.

It’s March 20, 2026, and the air is finally starting to change. In my world, change usually means a storm is brewing or a predator is catching a scent, but today? It’s something much more exciting. I’m Tigris Eden, the one who likes to play in the shadows, the grit, and the morally gray corners of the soul. But I’m also here representing JK Rivers, the part of me that still believes in the softer side of redemption and the kind of love that doesn’t always require a weapon (though a little tension never hurt anybody).

Welcome to the Wide World Tour.

I’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring you something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time. I’m taking the show on the road. Or, more accurately, I’m taking the books to every corner of the digital map.

The 'Wide World Tour' Announcement: No Reader Left Behind

For the longest time, many of my stories lived in exclusive little pockets of the internet. But why limit the chaos? Why keep the dark romance and the sweet, sweeping narratives locked away from people who prefer different devices?

I’m thrilled to announce that my books have been wide for a while now—but I’m making a major, NEW push across all retailers starting now.

What does that mean for you? It means that whether you’re a die-hard Kindle fan, an Apple Books aficionado, a Kobo devotee, a Barnes & Noble Nook reader, or a Google Play scroller, you can find my worlds at your fingertips—and you’re going to be seeing them everywhere a lot more often. I’m tearing down the fences (and lighting the scraps on fire for ambiance).

If you’ve been waiting to dive into the deeper, darker waters of my catalog but couldn't because of where you shop: your wait is over. You can check out the full updated library over at tigriseden.com.

Step Into the Shadows: Tigris Eden Highlights

Let’s talk about the grit. If you know me, you know I don’t do "simple." I like my stories layered, my heroes complicated, and my heroines formidable. The Stories from Beauville universe is my heart and soul: a place where the atmospheric tension is so thick you can practically taste the rain and the secrets on your tongue.

If you haven't ventured into Beauville yet, or if you’ve been waiting for these titles to hit your preferred retailer, here is what’s waiting for you in the dark:

  • Academy of the Gods: This isn't your typical school for the gifted. It’s high stakes, higher egos, and the kind of power that corrupts absolutely. Are you ready to see what happens when the divine and the dangerous collide?
  • Ember: She’s fire personified, and I don't just mean her temper. Writing Ember was like playing with matches in a room full of gasoline. It’s a slow burn that eventually explodes, and honestly? I’m still a little bit obsessed with the fallout.
  • Diamond: Hard, cold, and brilliant. This story is for everyone who likes their romance with a side of steel. It’s about the things we do to survive and the people we become when we finally stop running.

I often get asked, "Tigris, why make it so dark?" And my answer is always the same: Because the light doesn't mean anything without the shadow. These characters: mostly people of color who are reclaiming their power in worlds that try to take it: are real to me. They talk to me at 3:00 AM. (Sometimes they yell. Scratch that: they usually yell.)

He is wearing a dark, tailored overcoat; she is in tactical gear with a shimmering, ethereal glow around her hands. The tone is intense and high-drama.

A Breath of Fresh Air: The JK Rivers Side

Now, let’s pivot. Take a deep breath. Shake off the grit of Beauville for just a second.

Writing as JK Rivers allows me to explore the "softer" side of the human experience. Don't get me wrong: there’s still plenty of tension and yearning: but the stakes are more emotional, more grounded. It’s about the quiet moments, the forgiveness, and the redemption we find in each other's arms.

The standout star of this side of the house is Nothing Sweeter.

If you haven’t read it yet, Nothing Sweeter is a contemporary romance that feels like a warm hug after a long day... if that hug also made your heart race a little bit too fast. It’s about finding love where you least expect it and realizing that sometimes, the sweetest things in life are the ones we had to fight the hardest for.

The Hype is Real: Blood Kissed is Coming

I know what you’re really here for. I can hear the whispers in my inbox. “Tigris, when is Shadow Unit coming back?”

I hear you. I see you. And I am teasing you just a little bit because I can.

Blood Kissed (Shadow Unit Book 7) is officially on the horizon. Now, pay attention because I don’t want any broken hearts: It is coming in JUNE 2026.

It is not out yet. I repeat: not out yet. But the wait is going to be so, so worth it. Blood Kissed takes us back into the fray with the Shadow Unit, and let’s just say that things are about to get very, very messy. Old wounds are being ripped open, and new alliances are being forged in blood. It’s everything you love about the series, dialed up to eleven.

Why the wait until June? Because I want this book to be perfect. I’m polishing every edge until it draws blood. (Metaphorically speaking. Mostly.)

For teasers, deleted scenes, and any surprise chaos I decide to unleash, check the Blog as we get closer. I might even drop a deleted scene or an excerpt if you all behave yourselves.

Let’s Stay Connected

This "Wide World Tour" is about more than just selling books on different platforms. It’s about community. It’s about making sure that no matter where you are in the world, you can step into these stories and feel seen.

Whether you’re here for the Standalone hits or you’re buckled in for the long haul with the Dark Tales Series, I am so grateful to have you on this journey with me.

I’m curious: which retailer is your go-to? Are you a Kobo person? An Apple Books loyalist? Let me know! I’m still getting used to seeing my name on all these new digital storefronts, and it’s a total trip.

Before I go, a few housekeeping notes:

  • 📌 Updates & Announcements: Check the Blog for all updates and future announcements (including retailer links, release timing, and any sneaky surprises).
  • Exclusive Content: I love doing Character Interviews. If there’s someone from the Beauville universe or the Shadow Unit you want to grill, tell me on social media.

Thanks for being part of the pack. Whether you’re walking in the light or dancing in the dark, I’m glad you’re here.

Stay dangerous (or sweet... your choice),

Tigris Eden
