2 days until release! At this point, it feels surreal. What do you mean I wrote four books? 😮
I had much to prove with The Ex Factor because the characters were my readers’ favorites and I needed to give them a satisfying HEA on their own terms. See early reviews👇
A big thank you my ARC readers 🫶

I don’t have a big pre-order goal. It’s a rather humble one. You can help me reach it by pre-ordering my book now.
What happens when you fall in love with your ex’s lover’s ex?
The Ex Factor is a slow burn billionaire romance, that critiques unrestricted wealth accumulation, and class elitism.

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Mark Cuban says yes. These are the kind of millionaires and billionaires we need more of. Not the narcissist who’s trying to control our lives.

Last night during my doom scrolling sesh, I came across a funny reel that compared US vs UK terminologies. One of those words was eraser (US) vs rubber (UK) and I was reminded of the scene in the 2001 movie American Desi.

People who enable political and social violence somehow assume that they won’t be subjected to it. But it WILL come to bite you because no one is immune from authoritarian power and corporate greed. Worship them all you want, you are but pawns in their grand design, disposable and replaceable.

When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%. In 2024 so far there have been 7 cases.
