My publisher once described Erissa as the “beautifully flawed daughter of Emberhold,” and this is so true. She’s emotionally messy, immature, and kind of dumb in The Daughter of the Veil. But there’s a reason for that. Some of us weren’t prepared for the world in our 20s. It took us a minute to grow for whatever reason was behind it. For Erissa, that reason was domestic violence and being thrust into the world with no preparation for it. And it was the same for me. Erissa is for that reader, the one who had to figure it out as she learned what life should be. She is so far…

Hello, my lovely readers. It’s been quite some time since I’ve offered any kind of real update through my website! Life has made itself known with work, deadlines, and all the things that it can throw at a person. But I wanted to pop on here and let you know what’s going on with The Veiled Throne Series. Since The Daughter of the Veil was published in December, I’ve been busy working on finishing its sequel, The Kingdom of the Veil. But I ran into a bit of a problem–I might have written a ridiculously long novel, and when I say ridiculously long, I’m talking longer than a Brandon Sanderson…

Have you ever looked at your cover and loved it it, but realized it wasn’t giving what you were wanting it to? That happened with the original cover for The Daughter of the Veil. Thankfully, I have an amazing publisher in Conquest Publishing and cover designer in Abby with Wild Ink Publishing. So let me introduce you to Erissa, the beautifully flawed daughter of Emberhold. But what’s even more exciting than a new cover? ARC sign-ups are live! If you don’t know what an ARC is, it’s an Advanced Reader Copy of the book. When you sign up for an ARC, you will receive a free ebook copy of the…

To say that life has been hectic of late would be the understatement of a lifetime. I took a much needed break from social media, even rarely posting on my personal account, to focus on my children, my relationship, myself, and my health. Even writing was placed on the backburner as I shifted my priorities to rest, recovery, and relaxation. It might have been mostly sheet masks, bubbles, and lots of Dramione fanfics, lol. It was time well spent, and after having taken it, I am exited to be back to working on The Veiled Throne Series. June begins the official editing process for The Daughter of the Veil, which…

I am beyond honored to announce that I have signed with Conquest Publishing, an imprint of Wild Ink Publishing, to publish “The Daughter of the Veil.” This is a dream come true! Conquest Publishing has been amazing to work with so far. They are committed to honoring my vision for this novel, and I have never met such a supportive group of people. The querying and interview process was so connected and supportive. I couldn’t ask for a better home for Erissa and Rhazien’s story. I’m so humbled that they saw the potential in these characters and my work. There will be many more updates to come this year, so…

So, if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a little MIA until recently. The February crunch did not happen in any way. In fact, my world imploded in so many different ways that it seems like something straight out of a Wattpad story. And I’m not going to explain what happened in an significant detail. Because it involves one of my children. The short of it all is that she has been hospitalized for some time and will continue to remain in treatment until she is healthy enough to come home, but there isn’t a reliable time frame for this to happen in. Our family has been living in limbo through…

There are no words to describe how absolutely busy our family is since Christmas ended. There have been hospital trips for me, for one of my children, endless doctor’s appoints for the other child, and all kinds of lifestyle adjustment to meet everyone’s needs. But that’s the life of a spoonie family with Ehlers Danlos family. It’s been one thing after another for every one of us. We also made the switch to homeschooling to better meet the emotional and physical needs of my girls while they each deal with their various health issues. The youngest is transitioning into pain management and disability devices. So when I tell you the…
