I have a book launch planned for Book 3, and hope to plan some more things soon!

I’m over halfway through writing Fangs & Follies, and it should be on track for it’s March publication next year! I’m loving Emma & Autumn. I plan to do the cover reveal in October - if you’d like to be a part of that, let me know!

A short story of mine was accepted into Spellbound, An RHS Anthology. This comes out September 16th, and the ebook will be free! My friend Colleen Brown, and several others, also have some amazing short stories in this collection!

My short story is about Emma becoming a vampire - it’s titled Eras & Echoes and may be one of the best things I’ve ever written (And a favorite).

Eras & Echoes (blurb in construction!)

Emmaline had no desire to become a wife - especially not to Victor. She had no escape - until Amelia showed up at her father’s dinner table and offered her a way out. Now she has a choice to make: stay on the run for the rest of her life, or grab her freedom - and eternity - at any cost.

Anthology Blurb:

Step into a world where magic is real, fate is fluid, and the impossible becomes inevitable. Spellbound is a dazzling collection of enchanting fantasy tales, each weaving a spell of wonder, mystery, and adventure. From the sweeping landscapes of epic fantasy to the shadowy alleys of urban enchantment, from whispered romantasy intrigues to the eerie beauty of magical realism, these stories crackle with unbound power and breathtaking imagination. Here, witches and warlocks shape destiny, lost kingdoms rise, and hidden realms wait just beyond the veil of the ordinary.

Whether you crave the thrill of forbidden magic, the twist of fate in a contemporary spell, or the haunting allure of paranormal wonders, this collection will leave you utterly spellbound. Dare to step through the portal. The magic is waiting.

The school semester is starting back up, and not only am I teaching, I’m starting an MFA program. Let’s just say this Fall will be chaos. I have however, managed to get so many awesome new Halloween decorations! My graveyard shall be even more amazing this year.

As of late, the cats and dogs have been well! My son also started back to school yesterday, much to his sadness.

I’m working on getting a new printer (I cannot make up my mind) and also possibly some other new tech. What’s your favorite author program, if you have one? Printer? Other fun resource? Let me know!

My son and I love KPop Demon Hunters - and yes, I have tickets to see it next weekend in theaters. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it.

I read all the books currently out (4) in a week. Highly recommend this DnD feeling, cozy romance/adventure series.
