Hey everyone! My new novel Paint Me In Full Color is officially out now! I think this is my best book yet and I can't wait for you guys to read it. This book is about sixteen-year-old Aspen Cambridge whose father passed away and she is trying to continue his book series. Aspen is obsessed with fairies and fantasy since that is what her dad wrote about in his books. Aspen has always been known as the weird girl at school and has always been bullied. When her dad passes away, it leaves her feeling more isolated than ever. It is until she meets, Hayden, the new boy in school whose father passed away just a year before that she finally finds a friend. This story follows Aspen struggling to grow up without her dad and navigating her new friendship with Hayden and his best friend, Tobey. I really hope you all enjoy, and it is available now on Amazon!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a lovely long weekend and have been reading some great books. Sorry it has been a while; things have been pretty busy around here. With that said, I have a really exciting announcement to make. If you live in the area, my new book Somewhere That's Green is now available at Vroman's bookstore in Pasadena California! Vroman's is an indie bookstore in Pasadena, and I am so grateful that my book is available in their store. I've been a loyal costumer to them, and I am thankful for this opportunity. Vroman's has two locations, and my book is at their bigger location on Colorado. It is upstairs in the YA section and also available to purchase online on Vroman's website. Also, at the end of the month, I will be doing a livestream with Vroman's bookstore talking about my book and answering some questions. Details to come!

My new book Somewhere That's Green has a lot to do with musicals. I am a huge fan of musical theatre and I really wanted to incorporate that into this new book. One of my favorite musicals is Little Shop of Horrors, which plays a big part in this book. In my book, the main character has a passion for theatre, and she must learn to get back into it after her grandpa dies. So, she does so by auditioning for her school's production of that musical. I think anyone who loves musical theatre or just has a huge passion for what they love will love this book. I hope I captured the essence of what it's like to be so passionate about something. Writing books is my passion and I really hope you all love this book that I put my heart and soul into.
