On May 10th, I went to an awards gala and didn't win. When my husband and I got back to our hotel room, I put my toddler son to bed, and when he asked me where I'd been, I said, "Mommy went to a gala. My book was nominated for an award, but I didn't win, and that made me sad."

He said, "Mommy really wanted that book!"

I said, "I did. But you know what? I have you."

Life is full of good, bad, and bittersweet milestones. Life as an author includes writer's block, one-star reviews, rejection l...

Reviewers, you asked, and I listened. ;)

(Technically, I had it written before you even asked, but shhh. It truly means a lot to me that you asked anyway. I hope you love the new story as much as I do.)

I am THRILLED to announce a sequel to Beauty Reborn titled Astra Remade! This story will follow Beauty's willful eldest sister, who lands herself in a heap of trouble following a selfish wish. But as we know from Beauty's story, sometimes trouble can lead somewhere good, if we're willing to fig...

In 2023, I read a total of 25 books, which is more than I've read in any year since college! There are so many good books out there, and I wish I could get to them all, but 25 is a good start. I'll take it, haha.

It's hard to choose favorites out of so many good ones, but I've picked my top 3! You can read my reasons why here.

If you're curious what other people read and loved in 2023, shepherd.com has a great list of the top 100 books chosen by authors.

Here's to all the fantastic books we'l...

The fine folks at Shepherd.com invited me to do a guest post recommending five of my favorite books. Read the post here!

I have loved fairytale retellings all my life (hence why I wrote one), and these five in particular gave new life to old stories I loved.

Be sure to check out other topics on Shepherd's website. You can find recommendations on anything from "innovative magic systems" to "the best found family books in fantasy." Who doesn't love a new book rec?

Beauty Reborn launches in four days! To celebrate, I'm doing three in-person events next week. I'll be with other fabulous authors answering questions, handing out swag, and signing books. If you're in the area, stop by!

Welcome to my website! I fell in love with reading as soon as I could hold a book, and writing wasn't long after that. My first complete book was a hand-illustrated, stapled masterpiece entitled, "The Jumping Jack-O-Lantern," about a Jack-O-Lantern that jumped out into the street, got hit by a car, and had to be pieced back together by a girl and her mother. Eat your heart out, Humpty Dumpty.

I'd like to think my writing has come a long way since elementary school. As a teenager, I got into thi...
