So, it's been a while since I last blogged anything on here, but for those wondering what's going on, here's what's up!
Law school has been crushing me on time lately. I'm trying hard to balance my full time job with school and writing, but it's getting hard to compete. I'm also getting married this summer! So I've got wedding planning keeping my away from my computer as well.
But with that being said, here's the plan for Strike and the final book, Stand. I'm working on both books back to back. Basically I'm writing the entire rest of the series, splitting it in half, and then publishing them a month apart. I'm hoping to have this done by the end of the summer, but I can never guarantee my release expectations. Life always has a way of throwing me off my timeline and delaying me.
I want these last books to be the best they can possibly be and rushing them will only be doing you guys a disservice. So stay patient because I swear it will be worth it. These books will be loooooonnnnggg and hopefully live up to your expectations.
Much love!

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to leave a little update with what’s new and what I’ve been working on. Some of you may already be aware that while I was working on Stand, I found it difficult to find inspiration, so I turned back to my original book and reread Stolen, hoping to rekindle that spark. But while I was reading, I couldn’t help but notice how my writing had changed over time, and I found myself wanting to make corrections and revisions that I thought would actually improve the original story. And then suddenly I was inspired to write new scenes and add more dialogue that I felt would enhance the depth of my characters. And I think it came out beautifully.
So essentially, I have re-written Stolen, added five new chapters, about 50 pages, and several new scenes that will hopefully leave you just as captivated as the first version did.
With the Beta readers finishing up their review, I thought now would be a good time to let everyone know that the new version of Stolen should be available in the next two weeks. Depending on where you purchased/downloaded the ebook, you should receive a notification that a new version is available for upload at no charge to you. The update will be completely free. However, if you purchased a paperback, unfortunately, that can not be replaced. However, the old paperback version will become memorabilia of my original debut novel, so it will still hold value as you will not be able to purchase this version anywhere else ever again. So, if you would like to purchase that original paperback before I replace it, now is the time.
Thank you to everyone for your patience while I take this inspiration and apply it to the final conclusion of the Stronger Series. I have been struggling with Stand for the majority of the year, but I will be doubling my efforts to bring you the masterpiece you all deserve. I can only hope that I deliver. With that being said, I hope you all will enjoy the new version of Stolen when it becomes available! I will announce it’s release as soon as I finish with the final edits from my amazing Betas.
Much love! ❤
