Here we go! It's officially launch week! Have you preordered a copy yet? If you plan to purchase the book (and I hope you do!), it would be a huge help if you went ahead and preordered. Preorders boost the popularity of the book on launch day, and there is power in numbers. The more [...]
Happy Friday, friends! We're getting so close to launch day! How can you support me today/this weekend? It would be a massive help if you told at least one person about the book, whether you tell them in person, over text, or through social media. Word of mouth and personal recommendations are still the most [...]
Welcome back to Adia (finally!). It's time to check in with Tovi, Ganya, Silas, and many others, including my very favorite character and new resident of Adia (as of the last few chapters of Book 1): Eryx. This week I've been sharing these chapters AND ways you can support the book launch (thank you!!). Today's [...]
Friends! ONE WEEK FROM TODAY is the big day! Queen of the Wild Range will launch on Tuesday, July 12, and it still seems a little unreal. To celebrate, I'm releasing one chapter every day this week!

Kingdom was published one year ago today! I am so thankful for all of you who purchased, commented, left reviews, and spread the word. I have the very best people in my life! What a year it has been. Launching a book during a pandemic was not how I imagined it would be. (Has ANYTHING [...]
Murky black eyes shining with reflected fire searched the mural for anything he could have missed. In the half-light of bracketed torches, the ruby on King Damien’s finger looked as black as his hair. As he studied the images all around him, a dozen stealthy and agile guards stood at attention in the glittering throne [...]
Friends! Today is February 17th, which means we are exactly TWO MONTHS away from release day! The biggest news: I have a cover!! I can't release it quite yet, but the image at the top of this post gives a BUNCH of hints about the aesthetic 😉 I had been waiting anxiously for what feels [...]
For nearly all of 2019, I have wrestled with the title for my debut novel (releasing April 17th!). I am thrilled to finally announce that I have a new title, it is approved by my publisher, and it is ready to be revealed publicly! As I wrote the novel over the last decade+, I called [...]
