It’s been a wonderfully busy first quarter of the year. At long last, my debut, the western horror novella, Black Rose, has been released into the world! Expect book signing and other events to come!

Black Rose is available wherever you love to get books, and here’s a universal link for ebooks!

It’s surreal to see a project come to fruition after twenty years. I was 17 when I started that super cringe Van Helsing X Tombstone fanfic, and now she’s a book. People are reading and enjoying her. It’s difficult to believe.

Aside from Black Rose, during this first quarter of the year I also wrote the zero draft and then 2/3 of the rough draft of Book 2 in the upcoming Duskingr Saga series. Somehow between the zero draft and working rough draft, a companion short story also got roughed out. Turns out I really like sky Vikings.

I am beyond excited to share that the first book in the Duskingr Saga series will be going live on Kickstarter to launch a special edition before publication! Sign up here to get updates!

I am so fortunate to work with the wonderful and devoted teams at Graveside Press and Quills and Cosmos Press, publishing houses dedicated to diverse voices and unique storytelling. It’s such a gift to be able to tell stories with queer and/or disabled characters, be they fantastical or spooky. And it is such an honor to have readers like you.

Stay tuned y’all, exciting things to come.
