Hi ,
I've finished all the developmental edits I can do alone on Once upon a Betrothal, now I'm working on getting feedback to improve the story. The current version is available to read on Ream. Given where I'm at right now, I'm tentatively planning the release date to be May 2nd. I won't set that in stone and finalize the date until I've moved on to all the technical editing.
If you didn't reply last week, hit reply and let me know why you're on my list and anything else you want me know.
Sales, Freebies, and/or New Releases
It took a me a while to get around to it, but The Fox Assassin is finally available wide. Since some websites take longer to publish to their store, it may take a while for all the stores to carry it.

Mrs. Anderson burst through the door and immediately locked gazes with him. Her old, wrinkled eyes, usually stern–and a bit malicious- were different now. They were red, and their corners were moist with tears. Something’s wrong, David thought before Mrs. Anderson swallowed and said, “Mr. Reyes?”
“Um… yes, Mrs. Anderson?”
“Please come with me,” she asked uncharacteristically nicely.
“Did I do something wrong?” He asked, standing up.
...
A pit formed in David’s stomach, and his heart began racing in his chest. “Mrs. Anderson, what happened? What’s wrong?” His teacher’s tearful eyes met his worried gaze; she sniffled, and David’s anxiety grew into distress. “Mrs. Anderson?”
...
A lonely path…
David is just like any other normal high school student: slacking off from class, planning for the future like he’s got everything figured out, when he receives news of his grandmother’s death.
He has never felt more lost.
A grim secret…
Sara moves in next door on a mission: to befriend David. With her bright smile and outgoing personality, she easily wins him over. This can be the start of her new life.
As long as no one finds out about her secrets.
Will Sara fill the emptiness in David’s life? Or will her past lead them back to where they started before they met each other? All alone?
The morally grey characters of Six of Crows combine with the storytelling of Once Upon a Time in this swoony romantic fantasy novella about thieves, undeath, and innkeeping.
A thief queen, an undead rogue, and a vampiric assassin walk into an inn…
A thousand years ago, Talyria was a queen of thieves. Robbed of everything by a nearly eternal sleep and a powerful necromancer who is still on the loose, she vows to reclaim what she once lost. But that’s easier said than done when faced with the crippling fear of that necromancer finding her again. Especially since a new crime lord seems to have taken her place as the ruler of the criminal underworld, and he won’t be giving up his power easily.
Forced to lay low while she plots her revenge, Talyria finds an unwitting innkeeper’s son to marry her and pass her off as his brand-new bride. He has no idea of her secrets. But Victor has secrets of his own. Like that he’s actually a thief, and the fact that he isn’t fully alive anymore. Or that he’s now the host of the demigod of chaos.
Corallin is the daughter of the famed crime lord Elwis the Eel and she is on the hunt for a spellbook. Her quest has brought her through a blizzard to the door of Talyria and Victor’s inn. Little does she know; she isn’t the only thief who is staying the night.
Or the only killer.
With a terrible snowstorm brewing outside, everyone finds themselves trapped in the inn until dawn. But as bodies begin piling up within Victor, Talyria, and Corallin realize that they aren’t the only ones harboring a secret.
And one of those secrets is going to get them all killed.
May the best thief survive.
