Dec 6th! I’ll be at the Enchanted Knights: Winter Bazaar at Oviedo Mall—signed books, fantasy vibes, holiday magic, and the finale of the Keeper Carthain scavenger hunt. Come hang out, shop local, and say hi! #WinterBazaar

Behind the Binding: Artemis: Eye of Gaea. I doubled down on dragons & reptile monsters, but it’s the tiny Jaculus—a medieval “javelin lizard”—that nearly takes out Romasanta. Nothing like a falling danger-noodle to humble a werewolf. #FantasyMonsters

prints!

Behind the Binding: Artemis: Eye of Gaea. I separate Cedric & Angeline immediately (yes, I’m mean). Cedric spirals, Angeline levels up with Valkyries, Furies & Amazons — and when he finally catches up, he’s even more feral for her strength. #FantasyRomance

Behind the Binding: Artemis: Eye of Gaea digs into why Cedric hates Artemis — and why she’s been trapped as a living conduit meant to replace the Eye of Gaea. With Gaea and Kronus aiming to seize every realm, gods are falling fast. Artemis just wants to survive it. #CedricSeries #DarkFantasy

Marion County Public Library event highlights for the week of November 24-29. Event calendar: library.marionfl.org/programs-eve... #Florida

“Light Up Ocala” Rings in the Holiday Season in Marion County

Behind the Binding time! Artemis: Eye of Gaea pushed my worldbuilding the hardest — the Celtic Otherworld is wild to research, and blending it with Norse and Greek underworlds created the strangest, richest realm in the Cedric Series. Mythology fans, this one’s for you. #DarkFantasy #MythLore

Ocala! I’m back at the Oddities Market tonight (Nov 21, 6–10 PM). Come grab signed books, hand-painted frog boxes, earrings, & holiday gifts. Dark fantasy, paranormal romance, MM romance, and spicy reads await. Local readers & Ocalaverse — come say hi! #Ocala #FantasyRomance #Bookish

Behind the Binding: The Oracle has one of my favorite boss fights — Delphyne’s monster domain, including the Jaculus, a tree-dropping serpent-dragon that even humbles Romasanta. Myths, teeth, chaos. 🐉✨ #CedricSeries #MythologyNerd #DarkFantasy

I’ll be at the Inverness Oddities Market this Sunday 12–4! Signed books, frog boxes, spooky goodies—come say hi, get a read, support your local weird author 🖤

Arael Lionhart is absolutely lying through his teeth in this WIP text thread and Madame Fleur is NOT having it. 🤣 He may have accidentally created a necromancer. And revived a hellhound. Maybe. ARC list opens soon for I Accidentally Reanimated the Billionaire’s Hellhound.

Calling fantasy book influencers 👀 Arranged marriage. Witch-made immortal. A love that wasn’t meant to happen—but did anyway. ARC spots open. #BookInfluencerCall #FantasyRomance #MorallyGray #CedricSeries #DarkFantasy

Angeline returns in The Oracle stronger than ever, and Cedric has to face the truth—he can’t protect her from everything anymore. After centuries apart, it’s a second-chance love story built on rediscovery, equality, and choosing each other all over again. #FantasyRomance #SlowBurn

REBIRTH. JUDGMENT. DEATH. A reincarnated immortal with no memories, centuries of sins resurfacing, and a final battle between life and death. The Tattooed Angels Trilogy is complete and ready for your shelves. #YAFantasy #DarkUrbanFantasy #AltHistory #BookTok #IndieAuthor

In The Oracle, Cedric snaps at Romasanta’s long story with: “He should put it in a book.” A little wink at the readers — my favorite kind of cameo. #CedricSeries #BehindTheBinding #DarkFantasy #BookTok #FantasyReaders

In The Oracle: Keeper of Gaea’s Gate, Angeline isn’t the same. She’s stronger, fiercer—and Cedric must learn to love the woman she’s become, not the one he remembers. 💫 #FantasyRomance #CedricSeries #DarkFantasy #BehindTheBinding #StrongHeroines
