I thought I would surprise you with preview for my next novel: Sleeping Beauty No More. The book will be released on June 17th, 2021, if you want to grab a copy. This is again a fantasy book and a fairy tale retelling.
I hope you like it 😊

Her prince never came.

She woke up after sleeping for a hundred years. She had been forgotten in her tower. Now she needs to find out why. What happened in the past? How could sixteen-year-old Aurora reclaim her lost kingdom?

Aurora meets a handsome thief named Devon. He had been using her tower as his hideout. Devon and his gang of thieves, known as the Circle, promise to help defeat the witch who put Aurora under the curse. Together, they will help her end the wicked witch’s tyranny over her kingdom.

Can Aurora change the lines of her destiny, or will she forever remain the princess that was forgotten?

Sleeping Beauty No More
Release date: June 17th, 2021
Thank you for reading and supporting me on my writing journey 🥰

Hi everyone,



Today I wanted to update you all about my writing. My newest book, Sleeping Beauty No More, will release in a month (Eep!) on July 17th. I am in the final editing stages and it is going good.

Like my last fantasy book, this book is also action packed (Yes, there is a dragon). I really like the characters and their individual arcs. I will give you a sneak peek from a few pages of the upcoming book (pgs. 3, 13, & 14):

Devon and Aurora’s first meeting is hilarious (she hates his guts). I can’t wait until you can read the entire novel. Sleeping Beauty No More is available as a preorder right now: books2read.com/SBNM

In other book related news, my romantic comedy, Midnight Prince, is now available as an audiobook worldwide. It is also available through Libby. I would love for all my audiobooks to be available in libraries, unfortunately, that is out of my current budget. I hope lots of readers discover my books, and then I will be able to do that 😊

I don’t ask this often, but please remember to leave a review. Reviews and word of mouth help books gain visibility, and are especially great for a small Indie author like me.

Thank you for reading today’s blog post. I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone!

Sorry for being missing this week. I was going through some side effects of my second covid vaccine shot (chills, ache, fever 🤕). I am better now, so I thought I give you an update on my newest upcoming Fantasy romance book.

Sleeping Beauty no more will release in a week on July 17th, 2021. The paperback and hardcover book are available now 🥳

I spend some time formatting the covers this week, so that kept me busy too.

What do you think? 😍


My book is a retake on the classic fairytale. I hope that you consider it for your next read.

I will go back to my blogging schedule next week. Sorry again for the unexpected delay (and short blog) for this week.

Hi everyone,

I have been working on a fun new project that I wanted to share with you all. The story will be based on Greek mythology. The release date is soonish (October 16th). Check out what I am working on below 😊

Thank you for reading and I hope that you have a great day!



They say Muses inspire the greatest of artists, artisans, thinkers, and poets, but what inspires them?

The nine daughters of Zeus are struggling with their talents, so their father orders them to go to a mortal high school. The muses are not amused at being sent to the mortal realm to find inspiration. Thalia, the muse of Comedy, proclaims that ‘High school is where creativity goes to die’. Her sisters agree, but is she right?

Will Zeus’s experiment work? Will the visit spark his daughters’ interest and inspire them to do their best, or will this be the end of creativity, as we know it?

The humans will meet the Muses for the first time. Perhaps the greater question is: Can the mortals survive the nine feisty daughters of Zeus? Or will they fall victim to their mischief?

Don’t miss this fun new release!

My newest book is about the nine muses. The nine muses, goddesses in Greek mythology, each inspire a special talent.

According to Greek myth, these nine sisters rule over the arts and sciences. They are the deities of song, dance, and memory, who give the gift of creativity, wisdom, and insight to a fortunate few.

Polymnia is the goddess of hymns, who is often seen wearing a veil in her depictions. I imagined her to cast a spell over the mortals with her beauty. In my story, she has many admirers.

Erato is the goddess of love poetry. Based on her talent, I made her a hopeless romantic and popular with suitors as well.

Clio is the goddess of history, who carries with her a scroll. Based on that, I saw her as a meticulous note-taker, practical, and an analytical thinker. In my story, she becomes obsessed with board games and puzzles.

Melpomene is the goddess of tragedy, who wears a tragic mask. I imagined her as introspective and quiet.

Terpsichore is the goddess of dance. I imagined her dancing everywhere she went, and having fun learning new dance moves from the mortals.

Urania is the goddess of astronomy, who carries a globe. I wrote her as someone whose eyes are always searching the stars, and one who quickly joins the astronomy club in the mortal high school.

Thalia is the goddess of comedy, and keeps a shepherd’s staff. To me, she is the queen of funny (and punny) jokes.

Euterpe is the goddess of music. You won’t find her anywhere without her flute… which becomes a problem when Headmistress Ehtel confiscates it.

That leaves Calliope. Goddess of epic poetry. The ringleader. The chief of the muses. Zeus’s most troublesome child. In my story, she is feisty and outspoken. A rebel who refuses to do as she is told, but does as she feels.

I hope that you grab a copy of The Nine Muses 😊

It is here!

Today’s the release date for The Nine Muses! 🎊

I told you about the nine muses in my previous email. (If you missed it: https://preview.mailerlite.com…)

But what’s a story without a villian?

Or is it, what’s a villain without a story?

Boredom and monotony can sap the creative energies of our muses, but what if there was a real external threat?

Their father, Zeus, god of thunder, has many enemies including sibling rivals, Hades and Poseidon. Their mother, Mnemosyne, is titan goddess of memory herself!

The muses themselves, however, also have rivals.

So, who is the villian of the story?

(And who would want to mess with such a powerful family? And why?)

I can’t wait for you to find out!

I promise the reveal will be epic 😎

The Nine Muses is a myth retelling of the Greek goddesses of arts, inspiration, and poetry.
