If you have read my book My Dear Ellie (thank you!), you would have come across Cassie’s wonderful puppy Buddy. Actually Buddy might technically be Ellie’s, based on unfair puppy favoritism. Cassie knows this and has on occasion displayed slight jealousy in her naturally green eyes. She, however, quickly gets over it as Ellie helps her walk buddy early in the morning (Cassie is not a morning person at all!)

I chose Buddy to be a rescue puppy in the novel for a specific reason. I believe it is important to support your local animal shelters. There are wonderful cats, dogs, rabbits and all kinds of wonderful animals just waiting to find their forever homes and give all their love to their new owners. For buddy, it was love at first sight for both Ellie and Cassie. Perhaps you will have the same experience too 😊

In my second novel (a work currently in progress!), I will focus and highlight some of the animals Ellie encounters on her trip around the world. It would be great to see from her perspective as she is such a animal and nature lover. I can’t wait until the book is ready for readers to read! (Lol that was a tongue twister). Hope that you are having a good day, please remember to take good care of yourselves 💕

I am ready to share my new book with you. In my previous posts, I promised that I will just drop the book in February without pre-order. I also hinted that the book is based on mythology 👾🧜🏼‍♀️ 🌊

I am nervous, excited, and ready to share my latest adventure.

The Stone Mermaid: A YA Dark Fantasy Novel of Forbidden Love

💔 He will give up everything for love 💔

The Stone Mermaid is a mythical tale of mermaids and other legendary sea creatures. This is an epic story of love and betrayal, involving Ariana, the sea king’s daughter, Ivan, a human prince, and Victor, the sea witch’s son.

Love is a force capable of moving the unlikeliest of hearts. Let The Stone Mermaid show you how.

This book is dedicated to the hopeless romantics. For those who give everything for love.

💗 With all my heart, I am releasing my little Indie book out in the big wide world. I hope that you like it. Thank you for following me on my writing journey.

Paperback will be available soon 🥰

I thought I would surprise you with preview for my next novel: Sleeping Beauty No More. The book will be released on June 17th, 2021, if you want to grab a copy. This is again a fantasy book and a fairy tale retelling.
I hope you like it 😊

Her prince never came.

She woke up after sleeping for a hundred years. She had been forgotten in her tower. Now she needs to find out why. What happened in the past? How could sixteen-year-old Aurora reclaim her lost kingdom?

Aurora meets a handsome thief named Devon. He had been using her tower as his hideout. Devon and his gang of thieves, known as the Circle, promise to help defeat the witch who put Aurora under the curse. Together, they will help her end the wicked witch’s tyranny over her kingdom.

Can Aurora change the lines of her destiny, or will she forever remain the princess that was forgotten?

Sleeping Beauty No More
Release date: June 17th, 2021
Thank you for reading and supporting me on my writing journey 🥰

It is here!

Today’s the release date for The Nine Muses! 🎊

I told you about the nine muses in my previous email. (If you missed it: https://preview.mailerlite.com…)

But what’s a story without a villian?

Or is it, what’s a villain without a story?

Boredom and monotony can sap the creative energies of our muses, but what if there was a real external threat?

Their father, Zeus, god of thunder, has many enemies including sibling rivals, Hades and Poseidon. Their mother, Mnemosyne, is titan goddess of memory herself!

The muses themselves, however, also have rivals.

So, who is the villian of the story?

(And who would want to mess with such a powerful family? And why?)

I can’t wait for you to find out!

I promise the reveal will be epic 😎

The Nine Muses is a myth retelling of the Greek goddesses of arts, inspiration, and poetry.

Ebook is only $0.99 for a limited time. The Nine Muses is available on paperback.

In other exciting book news: I received an update my book, The Stone Mermaid, is now available on audible and iTunes. The narrator, Dante E. Chandler, did a phenomenal job capturing Victor’s alluring voice.
