Author bio update 2026

👋🏾 Heya! Thanks for stopping by my page. There’s not too much to know about me—I’m just a Black paranormal romance girlie writing stories where Black women are loved the way they deserve. 💜

✨ Finished Graduate School (MFA Creative Writing/Fiction) June 28, 2026
✨ Mom of two amazing girls + one stubborn bull mastiff, Shiloh 🐾
✨ Born and raised in Detroit (Cody High grad!) and now living in Wayne, MI.

A few of my faves:
🍕 Pizza, 🌮 tacos, ☕ iced coffee
🎧 Audiobooks (paranormal romance, monster romance, dark romance, and instalove)
🎬 Horror movies—even the D & F-rated ones, I’ll still watch them!

I’m also autistic (diagnosed as an adult) with ADHD and dyslexia—a wild combo, but I’ve learned to turn them into superpowers. I’m a fast writer, a pro daydreamer, and when I stay focused… I feel unstoppable. 🌟

Thanks for all the love and support! 💕 Check out my link in bio and browse my IG for more info.

Big news.

My thesis, Strange Neighbors, has been picked up by Black Odyssey for a late 2027 release.

I’m going hybrid, which means my publishing schedule will shift starting in December. I’ll share more details once everything’s settled.

Thank you to @iamblackodyssey for giving my work a chance, and thank you to everyone who’s supported me and this story. I appreciate you more than you know.

The throne of Wintermoon was always their destiny…

The throne of Wintermoon was always their destiny… but building a family might cost them everything 👑

Crowning Anora by Tessa Stone is now live on Audible.

After centuries of rest, Amir awakens to a supernatural sanctuary built by his people. The crown is his to claim, yet it’s Anora who commands his heart. She was born from ancient magic, shaped for greatness, and mated to the most powerful being in existence — but being queen isn’t the same as being fulfilled.

As her visions intensify and old fears shadow the throne, they’re forced to choose what truly matters: ruling a kingdom or protecting the love they fought to find. Power means nothing if you lose the one who sees you completely 🔥

This is passion, prophecy, and partnership tested by destiny.

For mature listeners.

Thank you to Myles Washington and Ebony Ford for bringing Amir and Anora to life with such strength, vulnerability, and fire. Your performances made this world unforgettable.

Every crown has a price. His father named it. Aar

Every crown has a price. His father named it.

Aaron Blackwood was never meant to rule the Witching Glen. He chose love. He chose Mara. He chose a life far from the throne sealed by blood and betrayal.

Until he tears a hole in time… and watches Mara die.

Now the only magic that can save her lies inside the very realm he swore he’d never enter. And the father who abandoned him is waiting on the other side — patient, powerful, and pulling the strings.

To save his mate and their unborn son, Aaron must claim a crown he never wanted.
But every gift from his father is a hook.
And the throne will cost him the man he is.

If you love:
– fated mates
– dangerous magic
– powerful Black love
– time-bending twists
– warlocks and lion shifters
– deadly bargains

Crowning Aaron is your next obsession.

One realm. One crown. One impossible choice.

Okay… The Blackwoods was supposed to release today

Okay… The Blackwoods was supposed to release today, but I had to cancel the preorder. 💔

I’ve been dealing with some life issues since January, and even though my personal world feels like it’s crumbling, I’m still trying to show up—for grad school, for work, and for mom life. You know what they say? Your world is falling apart—but Dairy Queen still closes at 7. 🍦 Sigh.

I’m really sorry to disappoint readers. The Blackwoods is on hold for a month or two while I get caught up on deadlines. I’m behind on a few things, and Crowning Aaron needs to release before The Blackwoods to avoid confusion in the series.

But I promise—you will see Jo again very soon. 🖤 I’m working hard to finish their story, and it means everything to me.

Thank you so much for the love, patience, and support. Truly. 🫶🏾

For now, here’s a visual of Anora’s unraveling into dark magic. It’s a major part of the plot. Yes… Queen Anora becomes the Evil Queen. 👑✨

Hey hey! I’ve been working on these since Decembe

Hey hey!

I’ve been working on these since December 2025, and it’s finally time for me to start dropping books.

Starting this weekend, I’m bringing you the first part of Choosing Aaron. Yes, I had to split his story up… it was getting way too long. Whomp whomp.

The first part is a rejected mates theme. And it is a SLOW BURN. So if that’s not your thing, here’s your warning.

The second part is called Crowning Aaron. This is his hero’s journey to becoming the King of the Witching Glen. I’m still working on it, but I’m hitting my targets, so it will definitely be releasing this month.

And finally, Claiming Aya, which takes place about 4–5 years (I think 👀) after Crowning Aaron.

I don’t have a cover for Aaron’s second book yet, so I’m using a placeholder for now.

After I return from BRBF, I’ll start promo for The Blackwoods (releasing in late June) and my new Monster Romance series, D.R.E.A.D.

I may be quiet, but I’ve been working. Hard.
