Why Should You Buy Here?

Why Should You Buy Here?

I'm so glad you asked! When you buy from an author directly, you're putting money back into their writing. Subscription services like Kindle Unlimited place heavy restrictions on authors and limit readers too. Readers can only borrow 20 books at a time in Kindle Unlimited, but you can't keep them. I don't know about you, but I love re-reading my favorite books!

If a book is available in Kindle Unlimited, authors aren't allowed to make that book available anywhere else, not Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, or GooglePlay. Certainly, not on their website. Special editions or swag boxes that readers love aren't allowed. That book exists only in Kindle Unlimited, and the author is paid roughly .004 cents per page for the first reading of the book. 


I've got HUGE news to share with you!

I've got HUGE news to share with you!

I've decided to go old school with my writing and allow you to be the main character with interactive "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories through an app available for Android and Apple devices. I also made the first "episode" a prompt so that you can create fanfiction with the same characters and world. It's hardly revolutionary since books and games have paved the way for interactivity.

I'm so thrilled to share interactive stories with you. I'm seriously passionate about it, and I love supporting a new platform that's women-owned, and most of the creators are women or diverse too. Considering that I used to work in the gaming industry, which is still largely male-dominated, I love seeing women do innovative things, and chatting with the VP on Discord was refreshing. When I saw it on Tech Crunch, I knew that readers would LOVE being part of the story. The romance writing community is mostly women, and we support one another. Women should support other women, so I'm excited to be a part of this and share it with my readers!

OMG... New Books Are Coming!

OMG... New Books Are Coming!

What's up, readers? Did you miss me? Yeah, I've missed me too! This year has been so busy with school, work, and writing life. I finished my first year as a transfer student at Widener. It's strange going through the self-discovery that most people do in their twenties in my forties instead. I guess it goes to show you that it's never too late. And I've got a release schedule for Earth Girls Aren't Easy! It's part of the multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency world.

What's Coming?

What's Coming?

We're heading into a New Year. We're far from being in the clear and conquering COVID, but I'm so grateful! It's easier to focus on all the negative things that bring us down. We lose sight of what's really important, but the past two years have been a lesson in what's essential. I'm pretty sure that's true for all of us...

A Social Distancing Proposal

A Social Distancing Proposal

It was day seventy-two of the stay-at-home order due to COVID-19, and I’d never been more sure of anything in my entire life. Ron and I got engaged on May 26th, sharing a non-traditional and nerdy proposal with two friends virtually.Â
