I filled my days with editing, short stories, and a vacation. Finding a novel idea seemed like a distant dream. Until it wasn’t.
How did it happen? Pressure. I needed a push. My agent told me to write something new. I wanted to do NaNoWriMo. I put some of my favorite things together and BAM a novel idea.
The book takes place in Regency England. Historical romantic fantasy. I mixed my love for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and my interest in superstition and witchcraft. And yes, graveyards.
I’m excited to get started. Finding this book took more work than usual, but the trick was to take what I want to read and make it happen.
It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on my progress as an author. Let me start by saying how thankful I am for all the love and support I’ve received over the last few years.

I’m currently writing my 6th book which is the second in a new series. I now have three series. Two are in progress.
My first series, I have 3 books written. They will go out on submission soon. They take place during the American Revolution and follow 3 different women in their quest for love
My second series has one book written, and it is on submission and looking for a home (fingers crossed). This series is during the Regency in Yorkshire. It’s about a group of witches and how they manage their abilities. In my typical fashion, they are also love stories
My third series is in progress. I have one book written in need of edits and the one I’m writing. This series is different fairytale retellings. The first is Snow White and the second Cinderella. I haven’t decided on a third, but I’m thinking of doing something different.
I may have to go back and write more in the second series soon. I have a plan for 2 more books with potential for more.
In any case, I’m hard at work building my platform and backlist. This whole process has been like a dream for me, and I’m excited to see where it goes.
