Are you possibly vitamin deficient? Or secretly so?

I discovered I don't metabolize folate correctly despite my bloodwork saying there was no deficiency (turns out approx 20% of people have this issue), but one fancy supplement later and I actually feel awake.

As I finish work for my contemporary release, I shouldn't neglect the fantasy romance that got me here ❀️ Sea & Stars is such a special book series. It truly changed my career and my life. No matter where I end up, Tallora and Dauriel will always be an anchor to my success, and a fan favorite couple.

Sea & Stars is a story about forgiveness and how no one is past redemption. It's about finding your power amid hardship and overcoming impossible odds. It's about loving another person at their worst and finding the worth in helping them heal. And it's got gay mermaids, so I think it's a winner πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ

It's about two imperfect people building each other up despite their grief. Also it has a cat, which I've been told is a selling point. (And nothing bad happens to it, I pinky swear.) 2/2

Kickstarter and pre-order link coming soon!

To Love the Stars too Fondly was supposed to be a rom com, but I supremely missed the mark according to my beta readers. Instead, it's a sapphic contemporary romance about healing after trauma and finding love again despite a broken heart. 1/2

2025 was a year of upheaval and the culmination of some difficult life lessons that started in 2024. Here's hoping 2026 has maybe less growth and more results 😘

Book launch announcement?? Sneak peek of the book cover?? Kickstarter?? So much is happening, friends and fans. I'll be posting a cover reveal soon for an all new contemporary(!!) sapphic novel.

It's finally here! Day one of the Twelve Days of Spicy Solstice begins now ✨

It's tough work being an empress. Luckily, the royal stress-reliever is here.

(Contains VERY minor spoilers for The Fate of Stars. If you haven't read the book, you'll still enjoy this.)
