Sci-fi and fantasy romance author, from flash fiction to novels and everything in between. When I'm not writing, I'm playing video games or knitting.
Whoever said that this book is not romantasy has never read a mafia romance. 😛 Most romantasy is inspired by paranormal, so I see why someone could make that mistake.
Warning: Cliffhanger ending. (Good thing the next book is already out...)

Immediately swatching for my next project. I bought this yarn just before my little was born. It's fluffy wool and silk...and I think it's time that I make it into something so I can wear it on my body. Not doing anyone any good in a bin in the basement, am I right?

I kept seeing this on Storygraph and thought it was historical---which it is---but missed that it's paranormal! I've barely dipped into this genre of Victorian/Regency paranormal romance, but holy mackerel, I love it so much!

Measuring the distance between points on a map is easiest using yarn, because there's always some yarn within arm's reach. That's not just me, right? Right...?

I told you I'm on a Hannah Whitten spree! Very satisfying conclusion to the series. Love this world and the tension between the lovers. Such a cool take on gods and godhood.

Going through my notebook from the past two years, and I found this chart I made when I first started planning the Syphon Bound series. I started with a list of masc-coded traits, and then I assigned them all to my femme protagonists for each book.

Bingo! I'm on a Hannah Whitten spree! I read this one while waiting for my hold on The Nightshade God to come up, and then it came up and I had to hurry---not a problem with this book, since I didn't want to put it down.

More maps! Always more maps!
Starting work on the #SyphonBound novella set between books 1 & 2. This is Lacune Fortress, where the tourney takes place. Much of Book 2 will take place here as well, so I wanted a detailed map right from the start. I based it on Dunnottar Castle in Scotland.

Ok, so I'll admit it. I read this book so fast that I didn't actually fill in the card while I was reading, I went back after and filled it in. Someone tell me what I missed!

The monthly bonus scene is here! And by here, I mean over on Patreon, accessible to all paid subscribers (for as little as a dollar or two)
To Break A Dragon Bond has no spicy scenes. Took me almost a year to crack this one, but it certainly worked out 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️

It's the perfect cat bed. I'd be shocked if I came up from work and there *wasn't* a cat here.

The first Syphon Bound book, A Bond of Storms and Stitches, is revised! Now, don't get too excited, my lovely editor Maggie will bring tons of wonderful suggestions to the table during edits. But the core story and ironed out!!

I love these characters so much! I'm sure by the time I'm done my final revisions at the end of the year, I'll be sick of them all...but for now I'm enjoying their company. I'm sure you will too, when the first Syphon Bound book comes out!

I post a scene on Patreon every month. This month, what I meant to be a scene turned into a full duel-POV story.

A Bond of Storms and Stitches in all its (partially hand-written) glory! Still tweaks to do during type-in, but this is pretty much the version that will go to my editor Maggie next month.
Printed out 348 pages, and now it's 438 pages---which includes all the pages with a giant slash through them.
