ARC's wanted!

I am looking for some ARC reviewers on my upcoming NA supernatural/spiritual novella, Spirits n' Chai. My book is being published on December 15th.

Here is the blurb:

Just a short nine months ago, Raina found her voice, walked away from the ruins of her old life, and established herself on her own terms. She's no longer invisible; a day she never thought would come. But embracing this new found identity is easier said than done, especially when she finds a ghostly spirit outside her apartment window one cold winter night. She shouldn’t get involved and disrupt her auto-pilot life, but when this lost spirit in search of closure asks for help from the only person who can, what else can she do?

However, coming to the aid of a ghost is proving dangerous and Raina has to find the courage to either face the nightmares of her past or remain haunted by the shadows of it forever.

12 chapters, 86 pages
E-book only

Possible Triggers: mental health recovery and infidelity. Supernatural, spiritual philosophy and the exploration of life after death.

Please let me know if you are interested! Thank you!

It's Coming Around ...

Hey readers and writers alike! It's been a spell since I ran an update on here, so let's get to it!

⭐️ Book 2 of Kisses & Stones is being written and (oh boy) it hasn't been easy. I am running into some developmental snags and dragging plot points, but I am doing my best to make it work. Slated for a 2023 release! Let's hope I can stay on track.

⭐️ I have a short story that will be featured with a few more amazing authors in an upcoming anthology! Set to be published July 2022. I am very excited to share more as the it comes together, but right now I am going over line edits as the day is approaching swiftly!

I hope you are enjoying whatever season you are in your reading and writing journy! Have an amazing day ☀️

Book Blurb 📚:

Eighteen-year-old Peter Landon acts on a whim and breaks up a physical altercation between Ashley and her abusive boyfriend, Westley.

But defending the most notorious bad girl in high school comes with consequences.

With Westley’s promise of revenge and school giving him hell, Pete is desperate to keep his distance from Ashley. However, Ashley’s newfound interest in him comes with extreme temptation. A temptation Pete’s long-time girlfriend is quickly catching onto.
