My debut rom-com NOT GOOD NEIGHBORS arrives June 2, 2026!

It’s a story full of silly banter, bad decisions, and really incredible characters I fell in love with. If you’re into enemies to lovers, forced proximity, or just plain fun rom-coms, this is for you.

Grab the deluxe limited edition while it lasts 💖
(Entangled Publishing sprayed edges are LIFE)

Preorders seriously mean the world. They help booksellers know readers are excited and help debut authors like me get a chance to reach more readers.

So if you’re ready for a little neighborly drama, found family, ridiculous scrapes, and love (of course) click “Want to Read” here on Goodreads or grab your copy early.

Thank you so much for being here at the beginning of this wild, romantic, hilarious ride. I can’t wait for you to meet these characters on June 2. 💕

FORETOLD has had a pretty banner month -- first it was named a 2022 Finalist for the First Horizon Award, then it was Short Listed for the 2022 Eric Hoffer Award, THEN it was named First Runner-Up for the Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize, and then--cherry on top to a pretty incredible run--it won a Bronze Medal in the 2022 IPPY Awards.

I'm over the moon and so incredibly humbled by this string of honors. For more info, visit this page and scroll down to click on each award seal.

THANK YOU to the selection committees for each award & to all who take the time to read my little tale of soothsayers and OCD.

What a way to end 2021... I'm so blown away and thankful to #IndiesToday and Nicky Flowers for FORETOLD's 5 star 🌟 review!

"Wracked with OCD, Cassandra is the perfect imperfect heroine... The mystical world Lumani has conjured is intriguing, making you wish you could step through the unassuming doors of the Theban Group to shop at the frenetic market and discover your own abilities!" ★★★★★ - Nicky Flowers, Indies Today
