The groundhog saw his shadow, it’s single digit temperatures in Boston, so I decided to release my dystopian romance—Apophis—on Kindle Unlimited for the very first time. Don’t miss it!

“Florrie thought she’d got away with the distraction. How could she say her past had come screaming in like an air raid siren, warning of disruption to come? She sighed.”

Why do I have a feeling that the same rabbit that totally terrorized Eva is actually Bun-Bun in her bunny form? 👀🤣😂😭🐇

I’ve ended up on another sidequest. The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri was such a beautiful story and I love the MCs and their relationship 😩

I realized after viewing Lori’s sneak peek from a few days ago that we might all need something to look forward to right about now. So, I’m happy to officially announce the release dates and narrators for three upcoming audiobooks.

In A Soft Place to Land, Virginia was such a joy to write -- even when she's spiraling into self-loathing.

#lesficfri #lesfic #sapphicromance #sapphicbooks #romancenovels #sapphfic #wlw #debutnovel

Time seemed to stop as she looked at the official document. It was the formal embodiment of the biggest mistake she had ever made, and she felt like she was fundamentally changed from the person she was when she signed it. That Virginia had looked at the future awaiting her with such trepidation that, in order to go through with it, she’d had to convince herself that feeling was enthusiasm instead. That Virginia had, however reluctantly, severed the connection with the part of herself that wanted joy because it seemed like such a silly desire. That Virginia was not the person she wanted to be, and now, on the precipice of something radically better, finally feeling hope and true excitement for the future, she despised the version of herself that had submitted to the contract in her hand.

#lesficfri for CHANGE

Sunny sits down to dinner with her best friend for the first time after being away awhile, and the questions begin anew...

Out next week!

Cover of the novel Beneath the Shell by Cameron Darrow over aw white background. Beneath it is the text: "For having eyebrows the same color as her skin, Raeny’s face could be remarkably expressive. But expressive of what, Sunny had no idea, even as those incredible eyes regarded her an extra moment. The longer it went on the warmer Sunny became, and she had no idea why—or so she told herself. The further apart they were, the closer Sunny wanted to be. She had missed Raeny in ways—and parts of herself— she’d always told herself not to. What had changed?"

Below it is the text: #lesficfri for change

Elaine always thought she would spend her life alone. So when she and Virginia unite, she has to learn how to build her life with someone. (Luckily, she's deeply in love and it's fiction, so it ain't too hard 😆)

A little over a week to go until release!

Very much a labor of love, this one. Looking for escape via magic, love and maybe even a laugh or two? I may have what you're looking for!
