I’m thrilled to announce that my upcoming novel, Garden of Second Chances, will be releasing soon! This book is a special milestone for me. It’s my first Romantasy (romance + fantasy), but it still carries my signature writing style.

 

At the heart of the story is a garden filled with secrets, second chances, and a touch of magic, including Liora, the garden fairy who plays a special role. Fun fact: Liora also sits on my desk in the form of a fairy crystal, inspiring me as I write! (You’ll see her in the attached photo.)

And more exciting news is my cover artist is currently bringing this story to life with a stunning design! I can’t wait to share the reveal with you soon.

 

Some gardens grow flowers. Others grow second chances. But what if this one holds something even more magical? Stay tuned for more sneak peeks soon and for the official release date. Writing in a new genre has been an adventure, and I can’t wait to hear what you think!
