I need him. But I can’t trust him.

When Winnie’s little brother is bitten by a monster in the fae-infested marshlands bordering their village, he begins to slowly petrify. Determined to save him, and buoyed by rumors the fae in their waterlogged castle have lost the ability to glamour, Winnie decides to brave the mangroves and infiltrate their court for an antidote. She can’t fight or use magic, but she has a gift for acting—and lies are a currency the fae can’t afford.

Reed, a lowly half-human indentured servant at Windstone castle, has endured years of abuse and will do anything to escape. When he encounters a desperate human girl, more valuable than she knows, Reed seizes the opportunity to strike a bargain—one that’s anything but honorable—while agreeing to keep her safe from the lush but deadly habitat she’s plunged into.

Bound by necessity, Winnie and Reed scheme to achieve their goals, but as their feelings and attraction grow, secrets threaten to tear them apart. And when betrayal and violence turn her world upside down, Winnie must decide if saving Reed’s life is worth the cost of endangering her brother’s—and her own.

Caught between realms, Winnie will have to put on the act of her life to keep her family—and her heart—safe.

My first published novel, The Autumn Effect, can be found on Amazon, here.

One brother holds her heart—one holds her life in peril.

In the quaint but mysterious town of Spindle River, Sadie is looking for a fresh start after a turbulent past. When the charismatic and wild hockey player Jamie waltzes into her life, she feels the spark she’s been longing for. But just as she falls for his captivating hazel eyes, she’s shocked to discover he has an identical twin, and she’s been inadvertently entangled in a love triangle she had no idea existed. Brendan, the introverted musician, stirs feelings in her that are equally intense yet confusing.

As romances bloom and Sadie’s heart wavers, ominous shadows lurk. Strange occurrences escalate into a chilling abduction attempt, leaving her feeling hunted in her own backyard.

With danger closing in, Jamie and Brendan vow to protect her, but when suspicions arise about one brother’s involvement in the threats, Sadie’s trust is put to the test. Now, she must unravel the town’s dark secrets to expose the truth and protect her new home, even as she finds a startling supernatural heritage that intertwines with the peril stalking her.

Armed with her journalistic instincts, Sadie must navigate a web of betrayal and determine which brother she’s truly fallen for, and which may not be entirely human.

My unrepresented manuscripts:

  • My novel Oracle of Ruin, a YA fantasy set in a world inspired by Ancient Greece, was previously represented by Folio Jr., a division of Folio Literary Management. It is the first title in a completed trilogy:

In the fishing village of Perit, Rhea’s visions have always guided her people. As an Oracle by birth, her sacred gifts offer glimpses of the future, like the time she foresaw the rise of the ambitious soldier, Otreus. His destiny seemed bright – saving a kidnapped prince and gaining renown throughout the kingdom. But when Otreus ignores her warnings and meets a tragic end, Rhea’s visions shift, revealing a grim fate: the prince will die and global war will follow.

Determined to alter this disastrous course, Rhea ventures beyond the confines of her temple, embarking on a quest to save Prince Kyros and avert the impending ruin. Alongside her spirited sister and a loyal bodyguard who communicates through sign, Rhea navigates treacherous lands, facing assassins and wild beasts – just as her prophetic gifts mysteriously vanish.

As Rhea and her companions struggle to keep the foul-mouthed prince safe, she uncovers secrets from Kyros’ past that intrigue her and draw them closer, and upon reaching the capital to return Kyros to his rightful place, it seems she has evaded the prophesized doom. However, amidst lavish parties and cunning politicians, it becomes evident that a malevolent force within the castle seeks the prince’s demise, eager to spark the war that Rhea must prevent. Time is running out, and Rhea must unmask the culprit before they strike again.

With diverse, inclusive characters and an immersive world, Oracle of Ruin comes in at 115,000 words and will appeal to readers who enjoyed the action and tension of Gina Chen’s Violet Made of Thorns, with an atmosphere between There Will Come A Darkness by Katy Rose Pool and Lore by Alexandra Bracken.

  • A standalone Young Adult romance, Reflections on Us, which follows a high school senior, Aly, who’s just been dumped by her long time boyfriend at their Valentine’s Day dance. Only, when she wakes up the next morning, she finds him trapped in her mirror; her very own Bloody Mary whom she can’t escape. When she finds out he’s actually missing irl, she has to work with his reflection to discern what’s actually happened, as the two use this time to debrief their relationship and figure out where it all went wrong. This story deals with elements of racism and mental illness.
  • A completed Young Adult sci-fi duology, the Comhara Series; a mix of “the Witcher” and Vampire Academy, where children are trained from a young age to protect humans from naturally-spawning creatures, paired together like soulmates. The story follows two of these fighters, paired late in their training, and their struggles to accept their potentially early demise, discover the ugly truth about their institution, and navigate their growing feelings for one another.
  • An Adult Rom-Com, Snow Way Out, where a free-spirited nomad named Sophia travels to rural Pennsylvania to help her sister renovate, only to be stuck overnight in her hometown shopping plaza due to a snow storm, on Christmas-eve-eve. Her only company? A gruff and familiar-looking security guard that she now has ten uninterrupted hours with. If they don’t kill each other first, as Sophia tries on clothes and rearranges Christmas decor, she might just find herself tied down to this enigmatic man. And she might not actually mind.
