📖🥹🌟A TOTAL DREAM COME TRUE🌟🥹📖

I am beyond ecstatic to announce that my debut adult romance, GOOD BONES, will be published with @berkleyromance in fall 2027!!!!

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how much this means to me. To say it’s been a journey to get here would be a massive understatement. So many hard moments where it all felt impossible. So many setbacks. So many tears. But dreams are worth fighting for. And I’m still pinching myself mine has finally happened.

To my editor, @genni.reads, thank you for believing in me as an author and GB as a book worthy of your list!

To my agent, @christinamiller.312, thank you for being such a big cheerleader and wanting to partner with me for the long haul. I’m so grateful (and lucky) to have you in my corner!

There are so many people to thank in the broader writing community, but I want to give a special shoutout to my dear friends and CPs, @hannahbeeauthor and @cassyklisch. I don’t know how to even begin to explain how much your support has meant to me over the years. Thank you for your faith in me and GB. Thank you for being there through the wins, the losses, the laughs, the tears. Simply and purely, thank you.

And lastly, but certainly not least, to my husband. You’ve always championed my dream even when my confidence faltered, even when I thought it would never happen. I love you with all my heart.

I can’t wait to introduce you all to Rosie, Thane, and a whole lot of cursed pirate fun! 🏴‍☠️🏚️🗝️❤️‍🔥🪎👻

👻MICROTROPES: SPOOKY (and cute) EDITION👻

Im such a sucker for the small moments, the chanced touches, the nuances. It’s the stuff that gives me “kicking-feet-and-smiling-like-a-fool” syndrome. And with the first full week of October upon us, it was only fitting to have some ghosts help feature a (small) sampling from GOOD BONES!

What’s your favorite microtrope? Sound off in the comments! ⬇️👀💖

🏴‍☠️🌹MEET ROSIE & THANE🌹🏴‍☠️

Our gal, Rosie, is a down-on-her-luck realtor and (super talented) renovator forced back to her hometown of Charleston to pick up the pieces. Her solution? Going after a notoriously unsellable property despite all the warnings to stay away. After all, the sizable commission is more than worth the risk.

It’s the perfect plan!…

…that is until the nightmare of an owner throws a curse-sized wrench into things.

Enter stage left our hero (or anti-hero as he’d want me to say), Thane. Unfairly sexy. Fairly feared. And a 300-year-old pirate captain sentenced to his own personal Davy Jones’ Locker by none other than a certain realtor’s ancestor. But there’s a secret cinnamon roll hiding underneath that hard exterior he only shows to the most special of treasures…

GOOD BONES, my debut adult romance, comes out with @berkleyromance fall 2027!
