I’ve become a little obsessed with book aesthetics. You may have noticed this already if you follow me on Twitter, where I’m all over #ThursdayAesthetic every week. If you’ve never checked out that hashtag, you really should. It’s full of gorgeous imagery, and I’m blown away by the talent of the author community.

The White Knight & Black Valentine Series is EVERYWHERE
Good news, super readers! For years now, my superhero books have only been available on Amazon, but as of today, I’m sending them out into the big, wide world. They’re still available on Amazon, of course.

The Evolution of a Novel
Hero Status sprang from my mind, fully formed, like Athena from the head of Zeus. Lol, no. It was actually a painfully long first draft, followed by countless rewrites, beta feedback, and even more rewrites.

As I mentioned at the end of Hero Status, book 2 in the series will be called Villainous. It’s due out in 2015,Continue reading “Current Projects”
Hero Status, Chapter 1
Hero Status is almost ready to be uploaded to Amazon! (That sound you hear is my excited squeal.) While I’m working on the final steps, check out this sample chapter. Chapter 1 People like to debate where superpowers come from. What genetic mutation causes special abilities beyond what seems naturally possible? Experts theorize how theContinue reading “Hero Status, Chapter 1”
Cover Reveal

I’m aiming for a November release date, but in the meantime, I’m excited to be able to show off the cover. It was provided by the wonderful AngstyG, and I’m extremelyContinue reading “Cover Reveal”
