One of the questions I get asked the most is: how do you write a book? And honestly, every time someone asks, I laugh a little because the real answer isn't glamorous. It's not a perfectly organized system with color-coded spreadsheets and a tidy timeline. It's chaos. Beautiful, messy, snack-fueled chaos. But it's my chaos, and it works. Today I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you what my writing process actually looks like from start to finish. Where the Ideas Come Fr

Today is a day I’ve been waiting for. If you’ve been following along, you know that two weeks ago I told you something new was coming. Something darker. Something I’ve been pouring myself into for months. Today, I’m finally ready to show you what it is. I’m revealing the cover, sharing the story behind the book, giving you a first look at Chapter One, and opening pre-orders. All right here. All right now. Let’s get into it. The Cover This is Tangled Roots . The first time I s

If you've read A Sunday Affair: Delilah's Deception , you know Delilah Battle isn't your typical leading lady. She's not searching for love in a coffee shop or bumping into a stranger at a bookstore. She's a pastor's wife, the First Lady of a thriving church, a woman the whole congregation looks up to. And she is suffocating. Today I want to pull back the curtain and tell you where Delilah came from and why her story matters to me. The Question That Started It All Delilah was

I've been sitting on this for a while, and I can't keep it to myself any longer. If you know me, you know romance is my home. I love writing love stories. I love the tension, the chemistry, the messy emotions, and the happily-ever-afters. That hasn't changed, and it never will. But something else has been pulling at me for a long time now, something darker, something that kept me up at night, something I knew I had to write even though it scared me. I wrote a psychological th

As a reader, there's nothing more frustrating than falling in love with a character's best friends...only to never find out what happens to them. We meet these amazing, supportive people who stand by the main character through everything, and then their stories just disappear. I always felt cheated by that. So when I sat down to write The Made Series, I knew exactly what I wanted to create: a series about three best friends, each dealing with life and love, while maintaining

February 14th rolls around, and the world tells us what love should look like: roses, chocolates, grand gestures, and perfect moments. But what if I told you that the most important love story you'll ever write is the one with yourself? In my years writing romance, I've learned something that changed how I see Valentine's Day entirely. The real love stories, the ones that last, that transform us, that feel authentic, they all start with one person brave enough to be completel

You know me as an author, but here are a few things you might not know about the person behind the books. 1. I'm a night owl at heart.  If I had it my way, I'd wake up early for breakfast, go back to bed, and then get up in the late afternoon to actually get things done. That's when I come alive. 2. Cat lover and completely obsessed.  My two babies are Olivia Nicole and Isabella. Yes, they have sexy names. Yes, they are hot girls and deserve them. 😻 3. Halloween is my favori

I've always loved telling stories. But it wasn't until middle school, in a creative writing afterschool class, that I discovered just how much joy writing brought me. That class unlocked something...a passion I didn't know I had and one that has never left me. For me, writing isn't really a choice. The characters show up, they make themselves known, and they demand their stories be told. I'm just the one lucky enough to bring them to life on the page. There's nothing quite li
