Hi, friends!!
I spent the end of 2023 catching up to my planned release schedule. Phew! I had a lot planned for 2023, but when life happened, I simply kicked the can a little farther down the path. And now, I’ve got a wonderfully full 2024 planned!!
What’s ahead for you? Are you starting off the new year with a reading goal? How big is that TBR!!?
I can’t wait to share that I have been working on a new series. Book One was written way, way back in 2022, but it’s a series I started in 2020. A lot of heart and time has gone into building the characters and the world, but they are FINALLY ready to meet readers!!
Introducing… Prince Leo and Elli!
Art by Matt Hubel
Ellisaria Nahbi is the last remaining biological daughter in a family of vampires sworn to protect the royal family of the realm of Drammen. Eight years ago after an arcane fire burned their home and took the lives of Elli’s two younger brothers, her family fled from royal service. They adopted eleven orphan girls and together the family has lived a quiet existence in the remote, icy wilds of the coast. But quiet living doesn’t mean they are at peace. Every night Elli dreams of getting revenge against those who stole everything from her family…until the object of her every fantasy tracks her down with a demand she cannot refuse.
Prince Leoric is the heir to the throne of Drammen… Well, he should be the heir. He’s now convinced every member of his family is under attack from within. His father, the king, brokered a political marriage with a princess from a neighboring realm but the princess seduced the king instead…and she is now expecting their child. Leo wouldn’t care about a half-sibling to come except for the fact that someone keeps stealing gifts intended for the child. When the princess decrees that anyone caught stealing her baby gifts will be executed, Leo is certain he knows who is behind the thefts. And if he doesn’t stop them, every last person in his bloodline may be eliminated.
Inspired by the Grimm fairy tale the Twelve Huntsmen, Book One of the Huntsisters series, Broken Bloodlines, is with my beta readers now and the early feedback is awesome! What can you expect in this series?
Full of action, adventure, and lots of spice, Broken Bloodlines is Book One of the Huntsisters series. With 12 sisters and a lot of mysteries to solve, I can’t wait to share this first in the series with you.

What’s Expected of a Beta Reader?
Easy! You’ll read the book chapter by chapter and leave comments for me about what you liked, any questions you had, anything at all! I have an editor lined up for the end of January, so you don’t need to worry about typos unless you really love marking those. 😁 All I need to know is what you think of the story as you’re reading! I’ll make changes based on your feedback before the book is finalized, and I’ll thank every one of my beta readers in the acknowledgments of the book! If you have between now and the end of January to read even a few chapters, feel free to apply at the link above! Space is extremely limited, so please don’t feel bad if the spots fill up fast. You’ll have another chance to apply for an ebook ARC when the book is ready!
Super Secret Project 🤫
Shhhh… Super secret project in progress!!
I’ve been working on a VERY big secret project this year, and it’ll be ready to launch in 2024! I want to give you a hint, so here’s a pic from the newly staged recording studio I set up in my home office… 🤫
This sneak peek is exclusive for my newsletter subscribers, so stay tuned. I’ll have something absolutely amazing for fantasy romance readers in 2024.
What About Wraith?
If you’re a Kindle Vella reader, get caught up on the Wraith episodes while you can. I’ve decided to pull the series from Vella in 2024, and will be expanding on the existing content to release the series at books in Kindle Unlimited! The stories of the three Baynne brothers is so big, it’s tough to contain each section in 1500-word episodes. I’ll leave the episodes that are on Vella there until I’m ready to publish the book version, so get a look at the eps while you still can!
