I'm so excited to tell you all that episode two of The Viper's Lounge is now available to listen to on Spotify! Stop by and listen to me chat with the lovely Ms. Viper about my debut dark romance novel, The Songbird's Shadow, my writing process, and why I write dark romance.

Were you worried that Grayson would forget about you today? Don't worry, this morally gray man is leaving notes all over the place for you. If you've read the book, you know how much he likes to write notes. 😉 Take care of yourself today! #mondaymotivation #darkromance #thesongbirdsshadow

Happy Monday! Don't forget to wear your sunglasses if you're going outside today. You never know when Grayson might be watching and you know he expects obedience... #mondaymotivation #darkromance

My first book signing is this Saturday! If you're in the area, stop by to check out this dark stalker romance #darkromance

Ava leads a quiet life. It's the way she prefers it, safe from the world. But when a villain finds her, he won't let her stay hidden. He'll drag her out of her safe life and into a world of danger. Perhaps that normal life she's been looking for isn't what she really wants after all... #darkromance

What's happening in my WIP: Envious is being drafted. All Grace wants is a fresh start. When she inherits a house on a small island, she thinks it's her chance to escape her past. Little does she know, there's something else in that house and it's been waiting for her for a long time.

My absolute favorite thing about being an author is writing weird analogies. I try to be serious, I really do....but sometimes you just need to make it strange. ❓ Does anyone actually eat Jell-O anymore? If you do, what kind is your favorite?

Have you ever dreamt of a man so obsessed that he would eat dirt just to get a taste of you along with it? If you have, check out my book, The Songbird's Shadow. #darkromance

I spent the day thinking I'm not doing enough, not writing enough, not marketing enough, not trying hard enough... Then, I saw that someone bought my book and that it'll be available at an upcoming book event. So, when you feel like you're not doing enough, maybe you're actually doing just fine.

I would never write a book where her stalker hides under her bed so he can lick her cum off of the dildo she just used. That's gross. Especially if she screamed his name while using it..... Oh, wait, I did write that book. #darkromance

It's hard to believe that it's been almost two weeks since my debut novel was released! If you're looking for a dark romance about an assassin who's obsessed with a bookish woman, this one might be for you! Please check out the content warnings on my website! It's a dark book.

What happens when the line between obsession and love is blurred? How far will a villain go for the woman he wants? Find out tomorrow when my debut dark romance novel is released #darkromance

My initial edits of my manuscript are done and I keep asking myself, "Are you sure? Are they really done?" 🤨

And this, my friends, is why we edit! My FMC apparently had an extra eye.

Straight from the pages of The Songbird's Shadow (releasing this spring), @viimorte.bsky.social has brought Grayson and Ava to life!

Me: My nemesis, we finally meet. My unedited manuscript: Yes, and now, we fight.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

I'll just leave this here for my dark romance fans. #darkromance

Since there are so many of us here who are new and missing our bookish friends, let me tell you a little bit about what I write! What do you like to write and/or read?

Here's a little peek at the gorgeous character art @viimorte.bsky.social is creating for my upcoming dark romance novel, The Songbird's Shadow. I'm swooning. I'm fanning myself. I'm so excited.

This week will mark the end of beta reading for my debut dark romance novel. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, and so many other emotions. It hardly feels real!

Have I mentioned that I started writing my next book? It's a spicy dark monster romance and I'm planning seven interconnected standalones in the series

There are a lot of new people here that I haven't met, so here's a little introduction! I'm a new dark romance author getting ready to publish my debut this spring. Let me know if we have some things in common!

My little writing helper

New year, new book cover!

I'm really excited to reveal my book cover next week!

One of the best decisions I've made in this crazy journey of writing my first novel is having a large age range for my beta readers (late 20s - mid 70s). Fantastic range of feedback from different perspectives 🙂

I'm very guilty of this.

I almost didn't even realize what day it was today! Who's watching spooky movies or reading spooky books to celebrate?

I wish I could just start writing and get chapter 1 of my next book on paper. But here I am, plotting out the entire hierarchy of Hell in an effort to avoid plot holes later.

Want I want to be doing: Plotting my next novel about a possessive, demonic shadow daddy What I'm actually doing: Proofreading reliability engineering test reports

Me sprinting out into the woods to make a bargain with the fae so they'll do all my social media posts for me.

Get to know me (kind of anyway) with ten random facts!

Trying to plot my next book like...

When I feel anxious about my book, I look back at the feedback from my alpha reader and smile.

Handing this little beauty to my favorite beta reader tomorrow (a.k.a. my mom)

What a way to start my day off 😻

Real footage of me editing my WIP 🤣

My heart is so full right now. 16 people signed up to beta read my book. The amount of support I've received from friends, family, coworkers, and other authors truly astounds me.
