Did you know that in addition to writing books that the Big5 publish, I’m also a freelance editor? If you’re stuck in a rut querying, editing, or drafting, DM me - I love helping authors (and their books) succeed 🖤

So thrilled to reveal the cover for the final book in the SINS duology - THE LURE OF THEIR GRAVES, in which Dimitri and Vasily are forced to confront old ghosts and a new threat: political enemies-turned-suitors, all coveting Dimitri’s throne and his hand in marriage. Out 6/3/25

Listen, selling books is fucking HARD. You know what helps? Talking about the books you love and reviewing them everywhere. Most people, me included, trust a friend more than a synopsis. Talk about what you love. Spread the word. It has a big impact. You make a huge difference.

Yes, I did. No, they did not agree. Yes, you will all wish I’d prevailed when you read THIS ENDS IN EMBERS.
