It's Official... I started a Patreon

So I've been on the fence with this for a while. I didn't want to journey down this road without being able to put myself on a schedule and have quality items to offer. I wanted to make this valuable to YOU the reader but also not overwhelm myself in the process. I've decided to only offer two levels.
Reader Experience $5:
At this level readers will get Access to polls and discussions, a Quarterly eBook with an exclusive cover, a Free Quarterly Sticker, weekly Chapters of Current Work in Progress (Starting with The Island of the Lost), and first looks at character art and covers
Book Lover Experience $10:
At this level readers will get Free Quarterly Paperback with exclusive cover and character art (US only, all others will pay shipping), automatic access to Arcs (ebook), access to Audiobooks, bonus scenes when available, plus Everything in the $5 Tier
As the following grows I plan to add more items but this is my starting point. Interested? Follow the link to sign up! The first chapter of The Island of the Lost will be posted July 3rd and I'm kicking off the membership with an Audiobook June 15th!

Monday Blues on a Tuesday

I keep thinking today is Monday because I did nothing I was supposed to do yesterday. I have only two days left to spend on this Mystery Magical-Selection project and instead of writing on this three-day weekend I read, revamped the website (you should totally check it out), and spent time with the family. A much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of life.
I did not finish any books. In fact, I think I'm currently juggling four open books at the moment.
The Darkening by Sunya Mara, Valetti Crime Family by Willow Winters, Fathom by Alexandria James, and Broken Bonds by J. Bree. All of which are great, but I'm a mood reader. And lately, my mood has been funky.
Any suggestions on what to throw into the mix?
Have you read something that sucked you in so hard you couldn't put it down?

Book of the week is now book of the month...

Ya'll I tried.
I wanted to make daily blog posts and Insta posts, but time is not my friend. TikTok is a little easier because I can throw a fun bookish video into the mix but finding the time to create this much content has been hard.
I have seven more days to work on a secret project before I have to jump back into Neverland. I have a hard deadline of August first to finish The Isle of the Lost so it can go through edits and I can get paperbacks printed for giveaways.
I am working on art, stickers, and finishing the plot so it doesn't feel rushed. I really REALLY only want this series to be three books and to make that happen social media needs to fall by the wayside.
So, I will be doing a book of the month instead of the week. Each month there will be a coupon for discounted paperbacks through the site. If you haven't heard, Amazon is raising its printing costs for paperbacks. Unfortunately, that stream rolls down which means you will soon see an increase in book costs. My hope is to keep the prices the same on the website but I will let you know more as time comes.

Thankful for the unexpected hero

I know what you're thinking... Asher is the unexpected hero. The surprise love interest we all saw coming. The edgy boy with a troubled past who was there all along. That all may be true, but the hero is you.
The reader.
You are the lifeblood of a book. Without your willingness to read and leave reviews every book out there would be forgotten. So every Thursday I am going to make a shout-out to YOU because you deserve it. I love every single one of you (even if you didn't like my books)
Have you read Unexpected yet?
When Elaine’s long time, secret boyfriend decides he’s over their relationship she does the unthinkable. Dates his arch-enemy, Asher. A guy she can barely stand to look at, until he lets her into his life. Suddenly, Elaine is feeling a lot more than hate for Asher and now she has to choose between the guy who broke her heart and the one who was never supposed to have it.

Hello Asher! Character inspiration Unexpected

Unexpected got its title name for multiple reasons. The biggest that Elaine’s feelings for Asher were…well…unexpected, but for me I never planned to write this story. The idea of a girl hopelessly in love with her best friend came about while I was in the middle of a different story (isn’t that how it always works) and I didn't have time to play with it.
I ignored the conversations that would randomly pop in my head but Elaine was persistent. She wanted her story told! I sat down and had half the book written in a week. But as everyone on my team knows, I am HORRIBLE at timelines and ended up getting myself in a pinch with a different book that needed to be published. I pushed Elaine and Asher to the backburner and there they sat for a year.
A whole year!
Until I came across a set of purple eyes on Pinterest and everything Asher came flooding back. Up until The Lost Darling, this fake dating, frienemies to lovers was my best selling book. Despite being fade to black, it still satisfies all the urges, but who knows, maybe I’ll write an exclusive steamy excerpt. Would anyone be interested in it?

Teaser Tuesday: Unexpected

A teaser is s snapshot of the book. That single moment that either made you swoon or gasp because it’s so steamy. While Unexpected isn’t steamy, there are more than enough moments to make you swoon over Asher. This specific quote is one of the many that hit me hard becasue it’s true. Love is messy, and often times painful, but you should never be ashamed of who you are or fearful.

I love reader reviews <3

It’s common knowledge as an author that you don’t read reviews. They will gut you, tear our heart out and make you wonder why you bothered to put pen to paper. But I can’t help myself. I want to know what you, the reader, thinks. Is it all good? Of course not but the majority of what people say isn’t bad either. Today, is a shout out to the reviewers. To the readers who cared enough to put their own pens to paper. This is just one of the many Goodreads and Amazon has posted.
Have you ready In Too Deep yet? Drop an emoji in the comments and let me know what you thought of it
