"The farmhand’s attention makes me feel as if I’m a tapestry he’s spent months studying, and now he’s eager to unravel me" "My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth as I fling open the door, hoping I’m wrong, careful to keep my toes on the safe side of the salt line" I'd love to see your lines!

I started writing because novels bring me SO MUCH JOY and I long to bring more books into the world that I enjoy as a reader. My stories offer an escapist adventure, thrills, and any dark moments are balanced by hope & characters to cheer for. A romantic subplot and HEA are always a win for me too;)

I have so many writing resolutions for the new year, but one I'm super excited about is completing my YA romantasy story inspired by Fourth Wing + The Scorpio Races + My Lady Jane. It's so much fun and exactly the type of story I adore as a reader! What about you??!

I've always loved to read and at the encouragement of my youngest sister I started writing my first novel (a murder mystery) in 2019. I poured myself into my stories during the pandemic, and now I have 5 complete novels and numerous WIPs. I love writing YA fantasy and romantasy. What about you?

the writer// the writing After being sick for two weeks I'm excited to revisit my YA romantasy WIP inspired by the elite riding academy and enemies to lovers in Fourth Wing and the vicious water horses in The Scorpio Races. I can't wait to dive deeper into this story! #writingcommunity

Look, I'm gonna say it again: how do you think people are going to find out about your stories if you DON'T say anything? Magic? Psychic powers? Oh, maybe the story will FLY through their WINDOW and land on their DESK! Yell about your stuff! And other people's stuff! Readers do not have ESP!

My version of "making plans" for the new year...📚 #writingcommunity #amreading

What would you call an adult romantasy inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean and Casablanca, set in dystopian Puerto Rico, containing vampires, pirates, a blood war, and a love triangle? Last night I heard & liked "Blood in the Water" but I'd love ideas! #amwriting #romantasy #writingcommunity

Exciting phone call scheduled for next week? Yes, please! #amquerying #gothic #horror #writingcommunity

Friday snippet from the WIP I want to finish ASAP because: 1) it rec'd a #QuestPit like from an agent who loved my horror partial. 2) another agent (who loves my horror!) wants to see it the second it's finished. I'm a fast writer if I'm feeling the fire, and this story is hot! #writingcommunity
