Welcome back, my lovely readers, and if you’re new here, I’m so glad you found your way into my little corner of chaos 😈📚

Thank you for sticking around, opening my emails, and taking the time to see what I’ve been up to lately.

It really does mean the world to me that you’re here 🖤

Work has been busy. Like… wildly, unexpectedly, where-did-the-week-go busy.

It’s definitely cut into my writing time a bit — but thankfully I always have a suspicious number of half-finished projects waiting patiently for their turn 😌

The good news? Working out here on the farm has actually been exactly what I needed. It’s beautiful. Quiet. Peaceful in a way that makes your brain slow down just enough to breathe again 🌿✨

Honestly, it’s been surprisingly inspiring — and I’m coming back with ideas (and probably dirt in my shoes).

The few animals I have seen so far are beautiful, as is the kitchen in the main house.... It's insane, actually!

Okay… confession time.

I have no updates from the writing cave right now.

I know. I know. But.............................................

I should be heading home next week (fingers crossed 🤞), which means I’ll be back at my desk, back with my characters, and back causing trouble on the page very soon 😈📚

The words are waiting. I can feel them.

👑🖤Velvet & Venom is LIVE!

And now the part you’ve been waiting for…

Velvet & Venom is officially LIVE! 🥳🔥

This book is a dark fairytale retelling of Cinderella... but not the version you grew up with.

Expect shadows. Secrets. Power. Desire.

And a story that twists the familiar into something a little dangerous… and a lot addictive 😏✨

If you enjoy fairytales that take a sharp left turn into the wicked woods, this one is absolutely for you.

Blurb:

Ella has spent her life buried in ash.

Trapped in a decaying manor ruled by a cruel stepmother and haunted by restless spirits, she survives by staying silent and invisible. But when the kingdom announces the Crescent Moon Ball, Ella makes a desperate bargain with the ancient entity known as the Bone Mother.

In exchange for a gown, a carriage, and three nights at the prince’s ball, Ella gives up pieces of herself … her reflection, her memories, and eventually her very identity.

Prince Robert carries a curse of his own. Born into a bloodline bound to darkness, the ball is his final chance to find a bride powerful enough to balance the monster growing inside him.

The moment Robert and Ella meet, their connection ignites.

But magic always demands payment.

And the Bone Mother never forgets a debt.

In this dark Cinderella retelling, a cursed prince meets the girl the kingdom tried to bury. Two monsters fall in love … and together they might burn the kingdom to the ground.
