Debut Author of African American Paranormal Romance

🌪️ I’m losing my grip on reality. I used to

🌪️ I’m losing my grip on reality. I used to understand the world, its intricate workings—evolution, constant change. Now, confusion clouds my mind. I’m a master of medicine, and my studies and practice span over a thousand years. 🩺✨ Medicine is my life, my identity. But then, I catch a whiff of something special—🌸 jasmine. The floral, fruity fragrance ignites my primal instincts, sending them into overdrive.

Once, I was a docile dragon shifter. You could throw anything my way, and I wouldn’t flinch. Now, I want to burn everything down to clear a path for my mate. I smile as her lovely scent washes over me like a freight train in this busy department store. 🚂💨 Around me are countless other fragrances, but hers stands out, undeniable.

She moves through the racks, searching for a dress. Her long, thick wavy hair cascades from her back to her shoulder as she turns, and I notice the tiny hairs on her skin rise in alarm. She knows I’m watching. 👀 Kade was right about fate. I’ve always needed facts, theories grounded in research. But Kade insists my attachment to the jasmine fragrance means it’s my mate's scent. 🌼💖

I carry Egyptian Grandiflorum Jasmine with me everywhere, the queen of white flowers—synonymous with sun, purity, and elegance. Sometimes, I even eat it, craving to absorb its essence. This is my mate, the embodiment of beauty, light, and grace. 🌞✨

I’m so lost in my thoughts that I don’t notice she’s approached until she speaks.

“You again,” she snarls, her dazzling light brown eyes flashing with frustration. Her beautiful chocolate skin looks soft and sweet, and I can’t help but want to run my tongue along her flesh. 😍 Through her fury, I catch a hint of her arousal. She finds me attractive.

Good. 💕

“Why do you keep popping up everywhere? Are you following me?”

I don’t answer. I’m too captivated by her eyes to formulate a lie. How do I tell her she’s my fated mate, destined to be by my side for the rest of my days? How do I explain that I can’t stop following her, hoping my body finally lets me speak? How do I tell her I’m not leaving Detroit without her, even if it means turning this city to ashes to keep her safe?🔥🏙️

🎉 Late WIP Wednesday! Grad school and editing J

🎉 Late WIP Wednesday! Grad school and editing Jacob’s book have been kicking my butt. Sorry for the delay! Here’s a preview from *Stalking Lauren*:

I turn into the alley, ready to face my stalker. Instead, I see a group of hostile men, their eyes full of menace. I glare at them, hands on my hips. “Listen, this isn’t what you want. I think I have a dragon shifter after me.”

They laugh, one of them drawing a weapon. “You’re out of your mind. Dragon shifters aren’t real. Get on your knees!” he barks.

Before I can reply, the air changes. A loud roar echoes off the walls. A massive dragon swoops down, its huge body blocking out the light. Smoke pours from its nostrils.

Its scales are a deep black, shining like armor. Its eyes glow like molten gold, surveying the scene with sharp focus. As it lands, its claws dig into the ground, sending debris flying. The dragon nearly fills the alley, its wings folding back with a heavy thud.

“What were you saying?” I smirk, heart racing as I finally see him in full view, the personification of my deepest fears and desires.

Can’t wait for you all to read the rest! 🐉✨ #WIPWednesday #WritingCommunity #Fantasy

I’m thrilled to announce what’s coming up in my **Wintermoon Shorts** series!

🐉 **First up**: Dive into the Ash Clan with **Sam**, a dragon shifter stalking his fated mate, **Lauren**. Watch as he navigates the tension before claiming her as his own!

🦁 **Next**, we’re heading to lion shifter territory! Meet **Meekah**, an alpha whose primal instincts kick in when he encounters **Amaya**. Will he be able to control his desires, or will he take her against her will?

🌑 **Finally**, get ready for **Forgiving Levi**, where we explore the dark side of the shifter universe. Not all shifters can tame their primal urges! **Leah** and **Kade** must step in when Levi captures the scent of his fated mate. You’ll also find out why **Nia** is so bitter—her story will be a freebie on my website. I know how much ya’ll hate her, lol!

📝 **Saving Jacob** is my top priority right now! I’m still in the editing stages, but it looks like there will be an early release. I’ll update you soon with the next short and Jacob’s release date!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday week!

Happy reading! 🎉💖

🌟 Hi Readers! 🌟

I’ll be diving into my writing cave for a bit to finish up Jacob’s book and get my website up and running! I can’t wait to start selling signed copies and some fun swag. 💖

I’m excited to announce a new series called **Wintermoon Shorts**! Each short story will feature a different supernatural from the Wintermoon universe, focusing on romance. ❤️ In a couple of weeks, I’ll be releasing a new story about a Vampire, Witch, Dragon Shifter, or Lion Shifter finding their fated mate! Let me know in the comments which supernatural you’re most curious about!

These stories will be shorter—under 200 pages—while the main plot of Wintermoon unfolds in the **Fated Mates** series.

Here’s a peek at Kane and Tami by the lake at Wintermoon, along with the bridge she crossed to reach him. 🌊✨ I had some amazing character art created that I’ll be turning into postcards for signed paperbacks!

Happy reading, and I’ll chat with you soon! I hope you enjoyed Tristian and Ebony’s love story! 💕

🎉🎉 Today marks my 3-month authorversary! I can hardly believe it—my book has been a #1 bestseller for 90 days and we’ve hit an incredible 3.8 million pages read in the series! It’s surreal to think I sat on this story bible for a year before finally diving into *Taming Kane*. The world of Wintermoon has blossomed into something beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m so grateful for all your support. This truly is a dream come true! Thank you! 💖✨ #AuthorLife #Bestseller #Grateful

🌟 I really enjoy writing Kade’s a-hole antics

🌟 I really enjoy writing Kade’s a-hole antics the most. She’s so funny lol. Here’s a motherly moment from Mother Kade as she embarrasses Tristian. 🐻💙

Kade’s eyes narrow at Tristian, then she looks at me. “Whatever you do, don’t run from your bear. Bear shifters love the thrill of the chase. He’ll hunt you down, 💀 anyone who looks in your direction, then 💦 you until you lose track of what day it is.”

I gasp, my mouth dropping open at her bluntness. Tristian glares down at her, a low, unnatural growl rumbling in his chest. Kade just shrugs, her blue eyes unfazed by the massive bear shifter and his intimidating stance.

“What? Who was gonna tell her? Not you,” she says, pointing an accusatory finger at him. “I know you bear shifters; you’re hoping she’ll run so your primal instincts kick in and you can chase her down. She deserves a fair warning.”

“You’re an asshole, Kade,” Tristian growls at her, and Kade just smiles. 😏

Have a wonderful weekend and see you all on Monday when I announce the release of *Chasing Ebony*! I’ll be messaging the giveaway winners tonight before I go to bed. Happy reading! 📚✨

The curse has been lifted for over ten years, and

The curse has been lifted for over ten years, and I’m starting to lose hope that I’ll ever find my fated mate. But during my nightly patrols, I catch the scent of sweet vanilla, and my bear roars with excitement. I’ve finally found her, and she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. She’s in a bit of trouble at a dive bar, and my primal instincts kick in—to protect, provide, and love her.

Ebony doesn’t want to come to Wintermoon, but that doesn’t matter. She’s coming with me—to her future home. What she doesn’t understand is that bear shifters thrive on the thrill of the chase. I’ll hunt her down and find her, no matter where she tries to hide.

**Chasing Ebony** is a short story under 200 pages, focusing on Tristian as he finds his mate. It’s packed with spice and has a minimal plot. I plan to upload this story over the weekend, aiming for a release on Monday or Tuesday.
