Ready to Return to Shadow Wolf Creek? 🐺✨

This Friday, it’s finally time for Marcus to find his fated mate, Nyra—a fierce wolf shifter who’s not afraid to shred him to bits! 🖤

It’s a short, quick love story at around 40k words, but it’s packed with all the tension, chemistry, and drama you love.

After this release, I’ll be taking a short break to prep for my next signing event. My next release might not happen until September, but who knows? If I drop something in August, it’ll be a surprise even for me! 🎉

In the meantime, you can catch me on Patreon, where I’m slowly working on two WIPs. So don’t worry—I’m still writing! 😊

Thank you all so much for the love and support for Freeing Nala. It was just a bonus book to give Nala and Torin the love story they deserved to wrap up the series.

Torin and Nala: A Love Written in Fate

Fifteen years ago, fate tore them apart—Torin to build his dream of a diverse supernatural pack, and Nala to learn control over her unpredictable lion. Now, Torin is ready to bring his fated mate home. But Nala, believing she was rejected, has spent years among the lions who never fully accepted her.

When their mate bond flares stronger than ever, Nala must choose: the pride that raised her or the destiny that ties her to Torin.

But their love faces more than just emotional battles. Old rivalries and rising tensions threaten to destroy everything they’ve fought for. Can their bond bridge two worlds and survive the forces determined to keep them apart?

Live and ready to read on Amazon! I’m truly going to miss this series!

But winning Nicole’s heart won’t be easy. She’s not one to fall so easily, but Bobby is willing to do whatever it takes—even if it means ☠️ the mean who hurt her .

Back to the grind! 🖤 I had to push back Freeing

Back to the grind! 🖤 I had to push back Freeing Nala for a couple of weeks because I twisted my ankle falling down the stairs 😅. But I’m feeling better now and back in my writing cave 🖋️✨.

The new release date is July 18—and this is a firm date! After that, my collab book drops the following week. Plus, I’ve got a signing event at the end of August and back-to-school madness with my daughters. So, there won’t be any new releases until early September.

Even though August will be a bit quiet, I’ll still be on Patreon posting chapters from my two WIPs (works in progress). 📚👀

It’s bittersweet, but we’re about to close out the Fated Mates series 🐺🦁. I’ll miss it, but I’m so ready to dive into Wintermoon Academy! And in 2026, we’re moving to a whole new universe—I can’t wait to start dropping hints 👀✨.

Okay, I’m out! Thank you so much for your support. Get ready, because Freeing Nala is dropping soon!

Happy July!

I’m thrilled to share that I have two exciting releases this month.

First up is Freeing Nala, the final book in the Fated Mates series.
Then, to close out the month, we’re kicking off Season Two of my collab project with authors Melody Lynch and Elle Madearis.

Here’s a sneak peek at the map of the world we’ve created. And guess who’s hiring again? Yep, Stanley’s Diner! Poor Andy just can’t seem to keep employees—that “Help Wanted” sign never comes down.

Bound to the Rogue Shifter releases on July 25th. You’ll meet Marcus, a human, paired with Nyra, a stunning but fierce wolf shifter who’s sure to keep him on his toes.

Happy reading, and thank you for your support!

This scene in Craving Carla is everything! Amari says, “Do it for Daddy,” and Tofi cuts Carla down from her webbed bed. 😂😂😂 Oh, Tofi… such a daddy’s girl and a traitor!

Exciting news: Craving Carla is coming to audio soon, thanks to Podium Entertainment! 🎧

Huge thanks to my amazing artist for bringing this moment to life. 😍

Meanwhile, I’m in my writing cave, working on Freeing Nala to get it ready for publishing. Stay tuned!

Happy Sunday, everyone! 🎉

An odd day for a book release, I know, but… Amazon didn’t push it through review until now. A release day is a release day, so Happy Release Day! 🥳📚

I’ve got two editions for you:
📖 1️⃣ Redeeming Nia as an individual book.
📖 2️⃣ A bundle of Forgiving Levi and Redeeming Nia combined into one book.

📢 Important Reminder: If you already own Forgiving Levi, you don’t need to buy the bundle (Wintermoon Tales), or you’ll end up with duplicates.

The paperback version of the bundle is still under review on Amazon. As soon as it goes live, I’ll make another post to let you all know! 📝

💬 Let’s talk about Redeeming Nia!

This book is pretty much the close-out of Forgiving Levi. Many of my Patrons told me it was an emotional read, and honestly, it was incredibly difficult for me to write. 🥲

Even if you still dislike Nia after reading Redeeming Nia, I hope you’ve found the closure you needed. Feel free to share your opinions about the characters here.

✨ Tagline: When the alpha’s mate walks away, the hunt for redemption begins.

Moving forward, I’m deep into Wintermoon Academy and not looking back! 😜 This is a Happy For Now ending. Nia, Levi, and Olivia will be actively working on their relationships within the pack. 🐺💖
