This book is the first in the Defying the Crown series which tells the story of Isabelle Colette, a fierce Protestant living in 1661 La Rochelle, France. Isabelle can finally live free of harassment and torture if she converts to Catholicism, the religion that killed her family and branded her flesh. She can have a new life in Canada, but she must find the fight that the Catholics and her mother tried to burn out of her.

Based on a true story, this book will take you on an adventure through two continents, a sea voyage, murder, escape, and one tough heroine's fight for true freedom.

Hello friends,

Just two days until the release of My Boring Life. This book was such a joy to write. The summer of 1969 sets the stage for Gavenia's coming of age story about finding inner strength, acceptance, and taking ownership of your life. I wrote this book to show how much FUN historical fiction can be. The outrageous Mancunian family, the eccentric artist who mentors Gavenia, a trio of fabulous grannies, and the awkward first love with her childhood best friend... they create a cast of unique characters that bring Gavenia's world to life.

I hope the themes of this book are universal because we all struggle to accept our true selves and make our own way in the world. Gavenia finds that love and loss create who we are. She takes the hurt her family has unknowingly created, confronts it, and becomes a better person for it.

Pre-order My Boring Life today. The price will increase to $4.99 on Saturday.
Cheers!

I wrote this book to show how much FUN historical fiction can be. My Boring Life will transport you back to 1969 where bookish outcast Gavenia Platt returns to her hometown of Boring, Oregon for one wild summer. It's full of colorful characters, an outrageous British family, awkward encounters, and first love.

I hope you enjoy meeting Gavenia next month because I sure did love writing her. Release date April 17.

A little about what I am up to! So my debut novel published this week. It is a wild experience having something you have worked on for many many months go from hey this is a fun project, to ok let's put this out in the world for everyone to see and critique! But I am so grateful and excited to see it to completion. It is a dark fictional tale that sees two women 100 years apart both dealing with turbulent relationships, trauma, loss, emotional pain and ultimately how to find your own strength. I can't wait for you to read it!

The day after I sent The Darkness We Carry to my editor, I started my next novel, Beautiful Rebel. It is historical fiction and guys- I am so in love with this amazing true story! I discovered it when researching my husband's ancestry and became immediately obsessed with it! I expect it to be completed in the next few months. Stay tuned!
