Artist aspiring something. Latine. Nonbinary. Bisexual. Disabled. Creator of Take All You Can, Hartbreaker, Only Seasons, and House Of The Rising Sun, and the A Taste Saga.

The A Taste Series has two new novels available now. Hartbreaker and Salt for Your Wounds. I am looking for ARC readers for these two novels, preferably people who have also read A Taste of Lavender, A Taste of Whiskey, and A Taste of Freedom, as Salt for Your Wounds and Hartbreaker are prequels and companion novels. I will provide the EPUBS to anyone willing to read and review the entire series! Read more of this blog post »
