Goodreads Authors

Hello! Go to my website to see a teaser for my upcoming sequel's cover.

I've got a short holiday story up on my Patreon! You can read it for free.
I've had it in my head for a while and glad I got time to write it! Here's the blurb:

What’s worse than getting snowed in on Christmas with The Dread Lord, aka my awful and annoyingly sexy boss? When he walks in on me enjoying Read more of this blog post »

The world is rife with con artists, grifters and hustlers who make it their life’s mission to take advantage of the susceptible and the vulnerable. This has been happening since time immemorial.

It's taken three years of being a published author, but I finally received my first... two-star review. Not the most sought-after milestone, but I find it oddly reassuring.

I'm well-read. My mother, a retired nurse, taught me some really flowery words that kind of mean the same thing (my fav Read more of this blog post »

People love asking writers, “So what are you working on now?”
And I kinda hate this question.

Not because I’m offended, but because I’m a prolific creator with way too many irons in the fire, a forge full of sparks, and ADHD that makes me juggle story ideas like a caffeinated wizard who forgot which s Read more of this blog post »

Flying Beyond is a short story, but it carries so much more of what I wanted to say about belonging and being seen. I’m really grateful that readers can connect with it this deeply! 🎲🖤

My latest book: "Buying Chrissy" - the second book of my series "Slave Girl at the End of the World," is now available to buy (download) on Amazon today.

Somewhere between draft two and draft three, a strange thing happened.

I set The Invisible People and The Entangled side by side on my desk… and realized Book 2 looks like it could bench-press Book 1.

That slightly terrifying brick you see in the photos? That’s the first full proof of The Entangled—th Read more of this blog post »

Hi, this is Belle. Thank you for being interested in my books.

A quel punto, pensai a me stessa come Medea, come il personaggio mitologico famoso per la sua vendetta violenta, una caratteristica che fino a ieri sera non sentivo appartenermi.

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself.

For decades, I lived with something I struggled with, something I didn't know I had. It influenced more than I understood at the time. I didn’t question it, because it wasn't a choice. Instead, I assumed that was simply how things were.

Today was such a beautiful day of Christian fellowship. God has really blessed me with my church home. I’m in awe.

This Monday morning, my mind is on Drudge, my current WIP. Or to be more precise, on the fact I’ve just deleted 90 per cent of yesterday’s words. Bummer, you may think, but it’s hardly the end of the world.
