I would first and foremost like to thank everyone for taking the time to give my stories a chance. My goal is to take you out of your world, and all the stresses that go along with everyday life, and bring you into my world of romance and fantasy. I have a special weakness for hot alpha males and the feisty heroines who love them. Above all else, I hope you get a laugh out of my books. I aim to incorporate as much comedy into my romance as is humanly possible.
My professional biography is as follows (I’m not sure why it’s in the third person, evidently that’s the rule): Grace is happiest when reading, eating Portillos hot dogs, and patiently waiting for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

I know… it’s been a while since I sent out a newsletter. Probably around November of 2022.

What exactly happened in November of 2022?

Thank you for asking!

I got a Labrador retriever puppy. Ah, well… more of a hellhound than a cuddly little puppy. She’s cu
