Paranormal Romance Author
New Release: Choosing Aaron (Amazon KU)
Current WIP: Crowning Aaron/Claiming Aya

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. 👑✨

Chasing Nicole is live on Audible. Nicole rebuilt

Chasing Nicole is live on Audible.

Nicole rebuilt her life after trauma, guarding her peace and protecting her heart. Then a vampire with a revolutionary past walked in and decided she was his fate.

When violence shatters everything, he makes a choice that binds them in blood and changes her world forever.

Now she’s navigating newborn power, dangerous vampire politics, a possessive mate who refuses to let her go, and a found family that proves even monsters can love hard.

This is dark Black paranormal romance.
Fated mates.
High stakes.
Passion and power colliding.

Chasing Nicole is available now.

And a huge thank you to my incredible narrators for bringing these characters to life and giving them voices that made this story even more powerful.

Thank you so much for the experience. I’m still in awe of how much you all showed up for me! I wish I could have stayed the entire weekend, but the final four weeks of graduate school caught up with me. I had to dive into my thesis as soon as I landed back home.

I hope I get to see you all again next year. And thank you to @blackromancebookfestival for organizing such an incredible event!

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.

He was raised to serve his queen.

She wants him on his knees for a different reason.

But Kendra doesn’t want a servant.
She wants the monster who threw her car through a building.

🔥 Possessive alpha hero
🔥 Black paranormal romance
🔥 She makes him break every rule

Heya! Just wanted to share a little WIP update ✨

Heya! Just wanted to share a little WIP update ✨

Now that Guarding Kendra is finished and ready to go live, I’m moving on to my next projects!

I’m about 30% finished with Choosing Aaron, which will be my next release. Claiming Aya will follow, and I’m about 75% done with that one. The Blackwoods comes after, and I’m just starting to dig into that story.

I’ll be posting an updated release schedule next week. A few dates will need to shift so I can make sure everything is wrapped up properly as the main Wintermoon plotline comes to an end with The Blackwoods.

I’ll still be sharing shorts through Wintermoon Shorts and the Academy series, but those will remain short-form stories 📚

And a huge thank you to my artist. I love seeing my characters brought to life 🎨

Happy reading! 🖤
