edit data

I write lush, sweeping romance filled with shadows, swoon, and the kind of love that burns through worlds. Where power comes at a price, and passion is as fierce as the battles fought. From forbidden celestial love and enemies-to-lovers tension to the slow, inevitable pull of fated souls, stories are rich with emotion, worldbuilding, and the kind of longing that lingers long after the end.

When I am not writing or dreaming of new worlds, I am usually lost in a playlist, rewatching TV/movie favorites, reading, or chasing after my kids and cats. I live in California, fueled by rainy days, good coffee, and the thrill of building stories where love always finds a way—no matter how dark the path.

Quotes by D.M. Simmons (?)

“The twisted limbs of the woods outside cast eerie shadows through the translucent ceiling above, while the flowers scattered all around, bright, and vibrant, filled the space with light. It felt as if I’d stepped into a world of both life and death; a dance of the macabre, of that which is real, and that which lies beyond.”
― D.M. Simmons, Ravel

“Every challenge we’ve faced…every turn life has thrown at us…I’m reminded of the lessons I learned in those stories. Lessons of fate and destiny and how the impossible is worth fighting for, no matter how long it takes. But the biggest thing I learned,” he paused and swallowed, “and also, the most relevant…is that in all of the universe, there is only one moon. And you, Alaina Elizabeth Thomas, are my moon. You are my destiny. You are, my Arabian Nights. I am so thankful that in all the stories of the world, you chose to be mine.”

“Despite the intensity of the moment, I felt no fear, and when I looked down, I knew why. Lisa had grabbed my hand in hers, and locked her eyes on me, stoic, in that moment of terror; eyes filled with neither panic nor worry, but beautiful acquiescence, as a silent apology passed between us. It filled me with love and peace as our friendship flashed before my eyes, and then everything went dark, and silent.”
― D.M. Simmons, Ravel
