I'm super excited. Happy book birthday to me, I guess!

Anyway, if you want to read it, it's on Scribd right NOW (I checked!)

And here is the books2read link so you can snag a copy: https://books2read.com/u/bP79Dj

I have a book out tomorrow!

I am so excited!

If you'd like to snag yourself a copy tomorrow, it'll be available WIDE. Meaning, you can find it almost everywhere. I tried my best to make it available in as many places as possible, but I realize I missed a few.

Also, it's going to be available on Scribd! If you aren't familiar with the book subscription service, I'd love to tell you about it. It's similar to Kindle Unlimited, except there are no download caps. You can add as many books to your list as you want. Scribd is a boon for those of you who love audiobooks. They get brand new releases either on or near release day, and there's tons of spicy romance on there, too.

Here is the Books 2 Read link. It will take you to whichever retail site you prefer:

And keep your eye out for Abduction Seduction on Scribd tomorrow! That's www.scribd.com.

Basically what the title says. We were all flabbergasted to see Friends to Lovers Vol. 2 (and the first volume is also there, yay!) has made it to the semi-finalist round of The Swoon Awards.

I love the Swoon Awards and so I hope you'll give their site a look and maybe vote for some of your favorite romances from 2021.

Thanks to everyone who nominated this anthology. These authors really deserve to have their work recognized.

My story, THE PROMISE OF SUMMER is in there, of course. It follows the short tale of two women working at a high-end doggy salon. When Candace's much-needed holiday is canceled at the last minute, will Allison be able to soothe her crush's aching heart? Find out by picking up a copy of the anthology!

Hi everyone!

I've been working hard on the sequel novel to Scales Like Stars. I'll be revealing the title and cover in an upcoming newsletter. The newsletter is still in the works. I'll post a link for signs ups here and across my socials when it's ready!

Right now I've been making sure my world-building and lore are water-tight. Haha, pun intended. It's a difficult job, but a fun one. I've always loved building worlds either in RP or in other works of fiction I've written (unpublished and unlikely to ever be).

Here's a little of what you'll be reading in the next book in the series, and that's the two different types of merfolk you'll find in the book: The Altma and the Lyricam, named for their respective neighboring Queendoms.

They're different from one another physically, as we saw in Scales Like Stars. If you read the novella, we were introduced to Javik, the troubled merman who resembled a shark. Altma merfolk reside in dark spots. Though they are reclusive by nature. Altma are quiet and cooperative with other species but don't expect to see them on the surface any time soon or without just cause. They dislike sunlight and are quite comfy down in their abyssal trenches, thank you.

The Lyricam are the merfolk who reside around the coral reefs of Promeiya and are curious, social, and inquisitive. They're covered in brilliantly covered scales and have been known to walk on land from time to time. Examples of these merfolk include Kade and Everly.

These are the two species we'll become more intimately familiar with in the next book, so I hope you're looking forward to it. If you found this interesting, let me know in the comments and maybe I'll share more lore in a future update as I develop it further.

So, what do you think? If you found this interesting, drop me a comment and maybe I'll share some more lore the next time I update.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far, and I hope you have a great week!
