What unifies all of my books across Adult, YA, MG, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, contemp, & romantasy?

✨Black excellence
✨Black romance
✨Black pageantry
✨Black opulence
✨Black beauty

I’m always going to thread the above things into everything I create.

IT IS TIME!!

I had to take my own pic because my husband went to snap one for me and he did not like my pose with this movie poster 😂😂😂😂😂

Him: I ain’t feeling this. I ain’t feeling this at all💀

LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE, my YA cozy contemporary fantasy romance, releases in exactly 3 months!!!! In celebration, here’s a snippet of the ✨meet cute✨ scene between Cayden + Khy. Or in this case maybe it’s the “meet-thirst” scene 🤭.

I’ve been in a major video game slump pretty much since Resident Evil Village dropped and I’ve been hella sad about it. This game is healing my soul and bringing me so much damn joy. Apparently, all I needed was a Black girl protag to get back to gaming 😭😭😭😭

If you’re in Houston, my daughter’s ballet company, BalletForte, is putting on Coppelia next weekend! They’re an amazingly talented group of teens who pour so much time & hard work into putting on full-length shows. It’s a fun time for the whole family!

A sneak peek at one of the elements I loved writing most while drafting my adult dark fantasy romance that’s out this fall.

*Yes it’s spicy. If my name is on a book that’s in the adult space, this will always be the answer ☺️

Himeji Castle. I’m about 1/3 of the way through it so far

HERE IT IS!! I haven’t shared much of the completely swoony and gorgeous character art I commissioned of Cayden + Khy because I was waiting to reveal it for this!!! If you’ve already preordered a copy or plan to do so, you’ll get the gorgeous page overlay and a signed book plate!!
March 27, 2025 at 5:48 PM
I’ve had folks reach out about where to get signed copies of my 2025 releases. @kindredstorieshtx is a Black-woman owned indie bookshop here in Houston that pours so much into the community and into Black authors. You can snag signed & personalized copies from them!

I just got the BEST email about LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE, my YA cozy contemporary romantasy, that made me scream. Watch this space because there’s good things happening with it.. really GORGEOUS things!!

I’m just over here being a menace in a Saturday night 😂
March 23, 2025 at 1:56 AM
I am counting down the days. I cannot wait for this release
March 22, 2025 at 10:56 PM
Cayden isn’t looking for a swoony HEA. She’s only interested in a hot summer hookup— and she def would never entertain a fellow witch (bc most of them are rich, elitist snobs). Then Khy, the coven’s dashing, outlandishly wealthy & world-famous it-boy comes along….

I see that LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE and OUR VICIOUS OATHS are 2 of the most requested books on Netgalley and you all are actually the best 🥰🥰. I’ve had a few questions about which is YA vs Adult and the unique story elements of both! Here’s a handy guide!
March 15, 2025 at 6:46 PM
This post goes for LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE TOO! It’s also available to request in Netgalley/ Edelweiss + physical ARCs are now in the wind. I would absolutely love to chat/gush/ giggle & kick my feet about Cayden + Khy 🙌🏾

When I released THE BLOOD TRIALS, I loved being in community and conversation with readers, especially Black readers. So many slid into my DMs when they had things they needed to SAY!

I feel that same energy with OUR VICIOUS OATHS and I love it! My DMs are open this time too!!! (Just be nice pls ☺️)
March 15, 2025 at 4:39 PM
🚨It’s not a drill. OUR VICIOUS OATHS is on Netgalley. RUN to request it & then preorder the book 🙏🏾

I’m manifesting that my dark fantasy romance with BLACK FAE gets so much hype it ends up with special editions, on most anticipated lists, bestseller lists… all of that

When he says, “If you gone do that shit, do it right.”

*This is the energy Malachi gives in OUR VICIOUS OATHS. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

IYKYK. 😈

I’m working on pass pages and thought I’d share the dedication. This book is so damn special to me. I’m going to be insufferable with screaming about this book. I hope y’all love Kadeesha + Malachi as much as I do. 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜
