Debut Author of African American Paranormal Romance

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!

📖 Preorder now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F63PHCYN

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 reading, everyone! ❤️

Happy Sunday, everyone! 🎉 An odd day for a bo

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. 🐺💖

📚 Links to buy:
Redeeming Nia
eBook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG1GG38F
Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFYVC8FN

Bundle: Wintermoon Tales (Forgiving Levi + Redeeming Nia)

Happy reading! 📖✨

Here’s a stunning piece of Amari standing proudly with Tofi, his little “daddy’s girl.” 🖤

Tofi would do anything for Amari—yes, *anything*—including cutting her mother down from her webbed bed just so Daddy can have a word with her. 🕸️

“Do it for Daddy!” 😂

Boy, this book really took so much out of me. I don’t think I can write something like this again—I really struggled to finish it. But it’s done! I know a LOT of readers just needed a backstory for Nia, and it’s here. Honestly, this was the best I could come up with. She was never supposed to have a backstory, so I pulled from the small amount of notes I had to make it happen.

It’s done. I’m planning to release it sometime this weekend (between Thursday and Saturday, not sure just yet).

If you’re on Patreon, there are only three chapters left. Once I post them, I’ll start the final editing process and set a release date.

Coming soon!

It’s time for the time jump! Nala and Torin are

It’s time for the time jump! Nala and Torin are all grown up and ready to start a pack of their own. But growing up as orphans in a world that thrives on community is difficult. Meekah from the House of Zorah has adopted Nala, but Torin spent his years alone at the academy, and the separation from finding his mate has been agonizing.

And now that Torin is old enough, he’s had enough of the separation. It’s time to claim his mate and free her from the shackles of Meekah’s reign.

Freeing Nala releases on June 30! The final book of the Fated Mates series. Preorder it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F63PHCYN

And don’t forget, Craving Carla is live! I just love Amari and Carla—they are the super couple of Wintermoon! Grab your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD38KQ22

Happy reading! (Nala and Torin character art credit @_art_valery_ )

He waited centuries to find her. Now he’ll do anything to make her his.

“I know I’m not deserving of you or your love, Carla, but I will never give up on you. I’ll keep trying as long as I walk this earth.”

Carla is Wintermoon’s darkest secret—the Mother of Spiders, a witch whose extraordinary children protect the borders while she hides in plain sight. Feared and misunderstood, she’s resigned herself to eternal solitude.

Until Amari arrives.

Golden-eyed, impossibly arrogant, and undeniably captivating, this ancient vampire claims something impossible: that she’s his fated mate. But Carla can’t feel their bond, hidden behind a mysterious veil created by her spider children to protect her from heartbreak.

As radical humans threaten Wintermoon, Carla and Amari must work together against a growing danger. But the real battle is for her heart—can she trust this infuriating vampire who looks at her with wonder instead of fear? Or will opening herself to love be the greatest risk of all?

Craving Carla is available NOW on Kindle Unlimited!

Guess what? I finished this book yesterday haha.

Guess what?

I finished this book yesterday haha. But now I’m going through the painful process of editing. That’s why I’m a little slow to get the chapters uploaded to Patreon. I’m reading through each chapter 2-3 times before posting.

Next week, I’m either going to drop a bunch of chapters into Patreon or just bundle everything and create a BookFunnel link.

This is coming to Amazon on May 30 or early June, and I absolutely loved writing this story. This was a passion project for me—telling the story of some morally grey characters that don’t make Wintermoon look like a beautiful fairytale.

Amari is mean, arrogant, and a womanizer. But when it comes to Carla, he’ll burn the world down for her—with the help of Ash Clan, the dragon shifters who owe him a great debt. 😏

Just having a little fun with video editing for my marketing course at my university. 😉 Isn’t Amari sexy?

Craving Carla 🕷️ is coming soon!

Ah, this brings back memories. Good memories. Time

Ah, this brings back memories. Good memories. Time for me to dive back into the radical humans and their horrible, evil behaviors.

Yes, it’s a federal crime to harm a supernatural, but will that stop them? Absolutely not.

I reintroduced Sundown towns in Tristian’s book, and it’s heartbreaking to see more of them popping up again. Even with supernaturals in our world, it seems history repeats itself with hatred and bigotry. You’ll learn more about this in Craving Carla, along with the intriguing Wintermoon Academy.

Chasing Ebony’s audiobook releases on May 20, 2025! 🎉 Here’s a sneak peek. Huge thanks to my incredible narrators for bringing my characters to life. You can listen to the sample here:
