Any Paranormal Romance Lovers?
Hello to all you lovely readers!
Never in a million years did I think I'd write paranormal romance, but much like this whole writing journey for me, it's unpredictable.
I've always told myself I'd write the stories that won't leave my mind and my next release, Angels of Belle Meade, is one of the many I couldn't kick.
I told myself a million and one reasons why I shouldn't write this story.
This isn't your genre.
It's too different than what they're used to from you.
You're an outsider to the genre. No one will believe in you.
Pardon my French, but that's fucking bullshit.
All of those things were excuses for me, so I thought about the characters for almost two years. I'd hear a song and it would remind me of the mood of the book. I'd see a picture and it would remind me of one of the characters, so I finally said "fuck it". I'm writing the story I want to tell and simply cross my fingers and hope someone who reads it got to remove themselves from reality for just a second and when that happened, I'd known it was all worth it.
Angels of Belle Meade isn't what you expect it to be, and with that, I hope it's so much more for you as it has been for me.
Writing it has taught me to take a risk.
Sometimes we all need a reminder to go for it

Upcoming release...
I thought I'd never say this...
When I finished When Our Worlds Stand Still, I felt a sense of relief rush over me. I knew Graham and Kennedy's story had been finished. They got their happily ever after and as time went by and I wrote Violet and Dan's story, I got to wondering if their epic love story truly was finished. I promised myself I wouldn't write another single word for them unless I was 100% positive their story would benefit from it and the readers would get a story they deserved.
I'm so excited to say after thinking about them for far too long, they're never too far from my mind, they had more to say. Their story will continue where their epilogue left off, Graham in the minor leagues and Ben by their side.
I can't wait to share their last adventure with the readers!
