New Year Means a Year Of New Plans

A new year is upon us! Can you believe it? 2024 was such a wild year for me and I couldn't have been more happy with the things I accomplished.
Normally, when I look at the end of every year, I feel like I did good, but wonder if I could have done more. This last year... whoa... I really did all of that! I started the year off with my WORST book release ever with the book I'm still proud of no matter how few people ended up reading it. It was a challenge and one that I'm glad I took on. It wasn't my brand. And that's okay. I've still met some amazing authors and readers because of it.
Then I dove head on into the Season of Change. These books were so much fun and got me back to being ME as an author.
Part of the way through the year, I got a speech about "making things happen" and I jumped onto ACX and put up some of my books for audio auditions. I ended up meeting JD Tomlinson and Oliver Williams and was able to bring The Date Mistake and Strictly Curious to life in an all new way! I couldn't have asked for better narrators to work with.
This year... I have some plans.I had another author tell me that seeing deadlines like this stressed them out, but I THRIVE on deadlines. If they don't exist, I'll just sit and doom scroll on my computer all day.
So this is what 2025 looks like for now. April will bring you Spring Fling and the last book in the Season of Change series. May is a charity anthology story that is already complete, edited, and sent off for publication. In June, I signed up to participate in the We Shall Rise Anthology. All proceeds from this anthology go to support LGBTQ and Reproductive charities and no one involved is profiting in any way. I will give more details as soon as they are available, but I can say that the covers are GORGEOUS! I have another charity story I'm submitting in September and then I'm leading my own multi-author series at the end of the year ;)
The big news? Oliver Williams has signed on board to bring you the entire Season of Change series on audio! Right now we only have a tentative completion date for Summer of You and will tackle each book as he finishes them.

"You're nothing. Just a nobody that wasn't wanted."
Those words have played in my head since I was five years old.
Every night, when I close my eyes, I relive that moment. The heat, the smoke, and the cruel smile on her face. For the longest time, I believed them. All I wanted was to find a place to belong, to be needed. But who could ever need me, a prey shifter? How can a rabbit be useful, especially when I lack elemental magic?
The guys saved me that night and every day since. They refused to let me feel useless, instead teaching me to be strong and use what I thought was a weakness to my advantage. With Lyle, Blair, Pike, and the twins, Sol and Storm, I found what I never thought was possible. People who wanted me, people who value me. They may be Alpha predators, but they make me feel like I belong.
I found a pack.
But nothing is forever, and one day, I'll have to watch them leave to pick mates to spend their lives with. The thought haunts me, but I can't let it rule my life.
I don't want to be alone, not again...
Again?
Sometimes, my thoughts are not my own. I feel like someone else lives inside of me, full of pain. While I don't know the reason for the pain, I can feel it as if it is my own. Every day, the feeling is stronger, and with it comes chaos. My life has become a delicate balance, and something inside of me can't wait for it to snap.
Fear keeps me holding onto what I know. Whatever is inside of me is waiting to get out, but it's dark and dangerous, and I refuse to let those around me be hurt by it.
I'm just not sure I can hold it in much longer.
Shaped by Destiny is book one in the Beasts of Extinction Series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a full-length shifter romance that has some darker elements. For mature listeners.
