I didnt get a good picture-cause I was driving-but on the way home yesterday the fall leaves and wet pavement created a golden tunnel, and it was so beautiful! And there were three rainbows!

My book, The Cinnamon Spell, out in October.

A witch’s cinnamon spell brings more than she bargained for—a brooding heir, a haunted house, and dark magic. Cozy, witchy, and slow-burn. 🍂✨ #CozyFantasy #WitchyRomance #AutumnReads #HauntedHouseRomance

Rowan Ambrose isn’t your typical new guy in town. He’s sarcastic, gorgeous, and inherited the haunted house on the hill. But when Charlotte’s cinnamon spell pulls him into her life, sparks fly—and so do shadows. They’ll have to face his family’s dark legacy, and a magic that doesn’t play nice. 🖤🌙

Yeeees! And science fiction doesn’t have to have some deep profound philosophical implications in order to be good sci fi either! It doesn’t have to be a political statement every single time.

Almost done with my first book The Cinnamon Spell.

A pinch of cinnamon, a dash of magic, and one brooding stranger who might just ruin—or save—everything.

It all starts small, with an idea or a dream whispered into darkness.

All it takes is a little push from fate to start a journey.

When you write an ending idea so good for your book series, you make yourself cry 😭

Long ago, before the stars fell and reshaped the world, magic was wild and free.

When the stars fell, and took control of the world, many creatures hid away.

One of them was the Web Mother. Ancient and wise, her descendants, still weave prophecy.

#spiders that make magical thread, with colors based on the stories you read to them? How #cute is that?

I support the diversity, but personally I don’t think anyone’s religion should have anything to do with their political stance, or why they were voted for.
