I am creeping (ever so slowly) up on selling through my advance for the Farian War Trilogy which is always a lovely thing.

So dear friends, if you like political science fiction that is both touchingly funny and brutally violent, you should come check out the series. 💚

I'll be there with my murder mysteries and romcoms which you are most welcome to buy! I'll very happily scribble on them too if you like. Or if that's not your vibe, feel free to swing by and say hi. Or just grab a free bookmark and make a run for it. No matter what, I'd love to see you there!

My baby boys! I had too much fun writing Arthur and Gabriel's story, but often forget to lavish my love and attention on them now they're out in the world. Surrounded by a cast of chaotic characters and thrown into the most unlikely situations, my romcom novellas are quick, light, and fun reads.
