I'm currently hard at work on my WIP! A novella duology about a pair of friends who wake up alone on an alien spaceship. I'm so excited about these stories. They've been so fun to write and I really hope you all love them as much as I do.

As of right now, they are a duet, but there is a possibility of continuing into a full blown series. I'm just not sure yet. I suppose it depends on all of you and if you want more!

And these books? They're spicy. With alien monsters. And two eggplants. And two tongues. And God, I could go on...

Anyway, I've got some writing to do so... See ya.

Okay, I've got find a way to end these things.

Book Two in my TOXIC INTRIGUE trilogy is officially complete! Which means it won't take much longer for it to be in your hands!

Right now I am currently doing my last read through... which happens to be the slowest, most thorough read through I do before publication unfortunately, and then I'll be sending it over to my editor!

I can't believe it's finally finished... Well, almost. You know what I mean!

All I ask is that you don't unalive me for how it ends... Please.

Hey, all!

I took a small break from writing over the summer while I dealt with some personal health issues (a kidney and bladder infection....then I found a lump on my breast and had to get an ultrasound... which turned out to be JUST A NON CANCEROUS cyst, thank goodness). Geez. It's been a long summer.

But anyway, I'm back to writing! I'm hard at work on PERNICIOUS AFFAIR, book two in the TOXIC trilogy. I'm about half way done with the second draft now and then I'll do my final read through before sending it out to the editor. I'm hoping to have this book completed around the start of 2024.

I have to say... This is probably my favorite book in the entire series and I'm so excited to share it with you all.

I don't know how often I'll update this blog or if anyone is reading it, but if you're here... Thank you so much for your continuous support as I ride this crazy rollercoaster called self publishing. Y'all are great!

I have yet to make an official announcement for my next project, but I've been working tirelessly on creating it.

Of course, I'm working my butt off to release Book Two in my TOXIC series. As a matter oh fact, I'm about 40% of the way done with Draft Two! I'm hoping to have this book released by the start of 2024! I can promise you it will be much darker than the first book....a lot darker.

That being said, I've also been working on an entirely new project in a new genre which I've been keeping to myself for the time being... I plan to make the official announcement once I finish the first draft.

I still can't believe that I'm an author now. Like, an actual author. I've wanted this since middle school and holy crap, here it is!

I appreciate you all for taking the time to read my book and leave feedback. It's so encouraging and I've met so many other self published authors that inspire me everyday.

You guys are the best.

Well... It's happened. After three years, I've finally published my debut novel. It's gone through so many beta readers, personal edits, proof readers, and more. No one prepares you for how hard it is to actually release the novel you've been working so hard on for so long.

There is a part of me that's like "No! It's not ready yet!" But I know if I keep listening to that, it'll never get released because it will never be perfect.

So here I am. I'm taking the plunge and finally putting my work out there.

I hope you like it! Or at least appreciate it as much as I do. And if not, that's okay too! I just want to thank everyone for giving something I wrote their time of day.

You guys are seriously the best!
