Happy November!

First off, thank you everyone for such an amazing release! Putting out my first book in a year and a half was anxiety-inducing to say the least. While I knew there were readers who wanted Vale and Aston's story, it's admittedly been really hard for me to stay motivated with writing this book...or rather, these books, at times, because I know the vast majority of my readers have been waiting ver...

(SFW) Vale & Aston Commissioned Art: First-Look

For your eyes only until I share publicly next week!

Fun fact: this scene was one of the first I ever wrote for Vale & Aston. It originally took place the morning after the Halloween party, and was to be included in the Anti-Valentine Anthology version of this story... but it got cut b...

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add something new at the last possible second…

Right before submitting the files for publication, I realized there probably should be one last transcript alluding to future events… after all, the last one was BEFORE Halloween. It seemed only right there was one last glimpse into the future before the book ended.

This is included in the published versions, but for those of you who read the ARC… here ya go.

Sweet Wicked Thing: Extended Teaser Quote #3

So perhaps I did just imagine it—saw something I wanted to see, for whatever crazy reason. Felt something I only wanted to feel.

A change in the air.

A shift in the course of my future.

A sinking knowing…

A terrible wanting…

An aching...

Sweet Wicked Thing - SPOILER THREAD

I know some of you have been asking, so here's where we can chat all things Vale & Aston...for now. I'm on a superrrrr tight deadline, so I won't be able to participate much. I also don't want to risk letting in any "outside noise" that will disrupt my creative/writing process as I finish the ...

Patron ARCs of Sweet Wicked Thing have been sent!

ICYMI, one of the perks to subscribing to the Atrium and Flock tiers is access to ARCs of all my new releases. A download link via Bookfunel has been sent to the email you subscribe to my Patreon with.

Due to the Amazon Web Services outage, there may still be delays in sending the file to your Kindle Library. It's now working for me, so hopefully that means it's been resolved. I did have ...

Sweet Wicked Thing: Extended Teaser Quote #2

“You’re a sweet little thing, aren’t you?” He says the words so quietly, I can’t even be sure they’re for me. “Sweet under all that filth.”

“Vale,” I whine into the bedding.

“Mmm, like sugar,” he murmurs, sucking a bruise just below my ear. His fingers c...

WTAW Deleted Scene: Will’s First Night on the Job

Today marks four years since I published my debut, Where There's A Will. I spent the day deep in final edits of my 6th full-length novel, Sweet Wicked Thing. And now, finally, it's time for my favorite part: the final read-through, where I load it up on Kindle, all formatted and ready to be devoured, instead of picked apart to death.

After a year and a half, it's such a...

Sweet Wicked Thing: Teaser Quote #1

...by the time I got my hands on him, he was nothing but a crying, breathless, panicked mess, mumbling nonsense to himself. Clearly on the verge of spiraling into what I assume would’ve been one those volatile blackouts Quentin mentioned weeks ago.

Something I’ve been so, so curious to wi...

October's Secretum: the first 3000 words (approx.) of EBA2

My face when I saw the poll results:

Real talk, though: I wouldn't have made this an option if I didn't know it would win. So you won't find me complaining. It makes this month's Secretum easy, and gives me more time to prep for the runner-up.

Sometime in November, you can expect to re...

SWT - Chapter 2

ASTON

Traffic congesting the interchange doubles what is normally only a half-hour commute for Tillie, and by the time we reach the old mining town of Crowley, heavy rain clouds have gathered across the horizon, blotting out the sun, making it feel a lot later than it actually is.

Trees blur past, broken up only by dilapidated barns and service structures. The fur...

Hey all! Figured I’d just throw all this into one post.

Hope you enjoyed that little EBA snippet I dropped yesterday (belatedly, because I thought it was scheduled for Monday morning and it was not 😅).

Every Breath After: Part 2 - WIP Snippet

If there's one thing I learned while being on the road, bouncing from city to city, and performing for huge crowds of people expecting to get their money's worth...

It's how to suck it the fuck up and keep playing.

Even when I'm nauseous.

Even when my stomach's cramping.

Even when it feels like someone's just reached inside my chest and crushed my heart in their grip. 2025-10-07 00:34:01 +0000 UTC View Post
