Hello friends!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a newsletter. Since the last update over a year ago, a lot has happened in my little corner of the book world. I wrote and released three books and a couple of novellas. I participated in two holiday anthologies and—most recently—added an additional pen name. This new pen name addition is what I’m most excited to share with readers.

If you’re following me on socials, you are well aware that I write mystery thrillers/romantic suspense under the pen name “Roxie Cohen.”

Since 2023, I’ve released the following:

Through a Mirror Darkly (August 2023)

This Tangled Web (January 2024)

Gemma Stone and the Missing Dragon Egg (February 2024)

Kiss Me in the Dark (April 2024)

There’s Blood on the Reef (July 2024)

Foes to Flames: An Autumn Anthology (September 2024/out of print)

Tales Beneath A Winter Sky: A Distracted Inklings Holiday Anthology, Vol. 1 (November 2024/out of print)

Writing under this pen name has been incredible and I’ve met so many wonderful readers because of it. I’m forever grateful to have so many passionate readers who love Jude Amarante and her little podcast. She’s by far the best character I’ve written to date.

That being said, I want readers to know that I will continue writing under the Roxie Cohen pen name, completing the first volume of the Jude Amarante Casefiles by the end of summer. The final book is currently in edits.

Additionally, I’m pivoting to focus on other genres, including paranormal romance and dark romance. Those I will be writing under “Roxanne Holloway.” If you are a fan of either genre, please visit and follow the social media handles I’ve created specifically for this pen name.

Now, let me tell you about Roxanne’s debut series.

Dracorith Court: Devour Me Saga is a series of interconnected standalone shifter romances. There will be four stories in this initial series, with an opportunity to expand the world under Dracorith Court.

The first book, “DMD,” will release later this summer, likely August 19th. DMD is a dragon shifter dark romance featuring our FMC, Vesper, and her dragon shifter fated mate, Alaric. Vesper has no interest in accepting their bond and uses every method at her disposal—including every spell she can find—to break it. Alaric, on the other hand, has no intention of allowing her to step away. This story has plenty of spicy romance and witty banter, but also features very dark themes, including CNC, physical violence, and threats of sexual harm. A list of triggers will be listed in the beta and arc sign ups.

For now, I will continue to use a combined newsletter, discussing each pen name separately for those who are interested in one and not the other.

Thank you guys for your continued support of my work as Roxie Cohen and I hope to find the same support in Roxanne Holloway.
