Paranormal Romance Author
New Release: Chasing Nicole (Amazon KU)
Current WIP: Surviving Josiah

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book 4

Releases December 19th

“I will do anything for you, Layla. With or without your love.”

A normal hero waits for the heroine to love him back. Josiah doesn’t care if she loves him yet; he is going to serve her, protect her, and destroy her enemies regardless of her feelings. He treats his obsession like a fact of life she simply hasn’t caught up to.

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book 4

Releases December 19th

“I will burn another city block and dance with you in the street while we watch the flames.”

He views destruction as a date night activity. While other book boyfriends plan candlelit dinners, Josiah is literally lighting the city on fire just so he has a dramatic backdrop to waltz with you. Chaos feels like home to him, and he wants to pull you right into the storm with him.

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book

Surviving Josiah – Wintermoon Vampire Tales, Book 4

Releases December 19th

“I’ll kill anyone who tries to take you from me. I’ll make this city bleed red over you.”

Most men get jealous when another guy looks at their woman. Josiah doesn’t just get jealous—he promises mass casualties. He doesn’t understand gentle love or soft devotion. With him, it’s either cold indifference or total annihilation of anyone who threatens what’s his.

Layla was supposed to be his next hunt. Instead, she becomes the one woman capable of waking a heart that hasn’t beat since 1823. Ready to meet Crazy Jo?

Almost Time for Crazy Jo To Shine!

You know you’ve found a keeper when he invites you over for dinner... and you find Ziploc bags full of his enemies’ fingers in the freezer. 💅🏿🥶

Josiah Dupree is not your typical book boyfriend. He doesn’t just kill for you; he meal-preps the evidence for his pet piranhas and calls it a date night. The man is unhinged, obsessed, and completely out of his mind—and he’s waiting for you in Surviving Josiah.

🥀 AUTHOR UPDATE:
Life is definitely “lifing” at home right now. I’m dealing with some personal stuff that’s taking up a lot of my time and energy. The book is still slated to drop on December 19th, but if I run into any roadblocks, please bear with me if it gets pushed back just a couple of days tops. Thank you for the love and support always!

🔪 WANT IT NOW?
If you’re impatient (like Josiah) and can’t wait for the Amazon drop, you can read the chapters RIGHT NOW on my Patreon. I’ve been actively working on it there!

🚨 HE DID WHAT TO HER CAR?! 🚨

I tried to quit. I really did. I told the grumpy bear shifter on the mountain that I was done. I packed my bags. I got in my car to leave before the blizzard hit. But Tolin didn’t accept my resignation. Instead, he looked me dead in the eye... and ripped the driver’s side door off my car with his bare hands.
He says it was to keep me safe from the storm. I say he just realized I’m his fated mate and panicked. Now I’m trapped in his cabin, the snow is piling up, and the way he’s looking at me says I’m never leaving this mountain.

5 Days of Facts about the Bear of the Hour: TOLIN.

Fact #5: She tamed the beast.

Tolin was willing to stay exiled on his mountain forever. Until her. To keep Imani in his life, he was willing to change everything. He faced his past, he faced his clan, and he built a future worthy of her. It takes a strong woman to tame a bear who has been grumpy for five years... and Imani is exactly that woman. He is hers. Forever.

5 Days of Facts about the Bear of the Hour: TOLIN.

Fact #4: He cooks with love (and a little bit of fire).
How do you apologize for kidnapping your mate? You feed her. Tolin might be a 7-foot beast of a man, but he spent hours in the kitchen trying to win Imani over. He burned the eggs. Three times. He scorched the bacon. But he kept trying until he got it right, because he realized she needed to be taken care of. Get you a man who can rip a car apart and make you French toast.

Fact #3: He deleted her exit strategy.

Tolin doesn’t handle rejection well. When he realized Imani was his mate and she tried to leave into the blizzard? He panicked. He didn’t use his words. He crushed her phone in his bare hand. He ripped the driver’s side door off her car. And he snatched her out of the car and carried her back inside like a caveman. He says it was to keep her safe. We know the truth: A bear doesn’t let his mate walk away.

Fact #2: His bear knew before he did.

When Tolin met Imani, he was a total jerk. He tried to ignore her curves, her attitude, and the way she stood up to him. But while Tolin was being rude, his bear was on high alert. He couldn’t figure out why he was so obsessed with his new employee... until he pushed her too far. When the truth finally hit him—that she is his Fated Mate—it was almost too late. She hates him. He’s obsessed with her. And now the storm has them trapped.

PEELING BACK THE LAYERS OF THE GRUMPY BEAR BEFORE RELEASE DAY

5 Days of Facts about the Bear of the Hour: TOLIN

Fact #1:
He didn’t want help. He was bullied into it.

Tolin is a complete disaster. One look at his messy cabin and his mother told him to get it together before the storm hit. But Tolin? He’s too busy being a grump. He literally went to the elementary school to yell at children for singing Christmas carols too loudly. (And yes—one of the staff, Merit, cussed him out and told him he desperately needed to get laid.)

Desperate, out of time, and humbled, he went to Shadow Suds to beg his only friend, Derrick, for a miracle. He asked for a cleaner… and got his fated mate instead.

Meet the boss who falls first this Friday!

“Her life ended with violence. It began again with blood.”
Nicole never asked to wake up immortal—bound to a vampire whose devotion could either save her or consume her.
Now she’s learning that healing isn’t about escaping your darkness—it’s about owning it.

🔥 Immortality. Trauma. Revolution. Love that defies eternity.
Welcome to Medina Shadow Coven, where blood calls to blood.

📖 Chasing Nicole — a Black paranormal romance full of desire, danger, and redemption.
✨ Available now on Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G2GFHGJH

He watched her sleep. She stole his heart. Now nei

He watched her sleep. She stole his heart. Now neither can run.

It’s almost time for Chasing Nicole!

Nicole ran to Wintermoon to escape radicals who sought to harm her for being a “supernatural lover.” Two years into her stay on the community lands, she’s finally found peace—building a friendship with Nia, working at the academy helping orphan shifters heal their trauma, and learning how to rest in her feminine energy.

But when you’ve lived in fight-or-flight for so long, rest doesn’t come easy. Then Bobby comes along—this handsome, charming vampire with 70’s-style swagger—and suddenly, Nicole’s head is in the clouds.

Bobby’s chasing something more than just her attention; he’s chasing Nicole’s heart. But can a strong woman who’s always had to stand alone finally let someone else take care of her? Bobby’s not letting go. He’ll chase Nicole until she lets her heart surrender to their mate bond.

A beautiful love story with a dash of Crazy Jo... who might just burn down a city block for fun.

Coming very soon—like the end of next week (official date to come).

This story took months to write, and if you want first access to the chapters, they’re already up on Patreon.

Now powerless and hunted by an unkillable monster, Hazel must decide if she can trust her fated dragon shifter mate, Dominic, who says he can handle all her chaos.
