PSA: this may be controversial 👀🗣️

but I want my readers to know what to expect from my debut (and possibly every book I write after that)! I’m a lover of yearning and flirting and banter. Give me fairytale vibes with princes, princesses, curses and magic.

If that’s your vibe, awesome!
If you’re just looking for a quick palette cleansing book, equally awesome!

I hope you laugh, swoon, giggle and kick your feet when you’re reading my books. If my writing can do that to you, then my job is done 🤪🤌🏽

just a stack of pretty books 💗✨🫧🌸

since I started my author journey in 2026, the reader in me has been pushed to the side… sadly. And when I found these beautiful books I had to buy them because my tbr can never be long enough but also I’m forcing myself to get back to reading when I’m not writing 🫶🏽

@lifebygisa really brought my idea to life!! I used to be obsessed and scared of the mermaids in PotC but this still shot from the movies has lived in my head rent free for a decade (and then some) lol
