Cover Reveal for To Love a Siren

Jul 15, 2026 | | 0 Comments

I present to you the JAW-DROPPING cover of TO LOVE A SIREN! This cover was designed by Trif Book Design. Isn’t it gorgeous? I can’t stop looking at it. It captures the story so beautifully and I’m obsessed how it matches TO LOVE A GRIMM so perfectly! Thank you, Paul, for capturing my story so effortlessly!

This is the second standalone book in the Fairy Tale Hearts series, featuring Hans Christian Andersen and his fairytale, The Little Mermaid. Though you don’t need to read To Love a Grimm to understand the story, it’s most rewarding to read the books in order.

To Love a Siren is an enemies-to-lovers Little Mermaid romantasy where a hunter falls for the mermaid princess he’s sworn to destroy. It’s perfect for readers who love fairy-tale retellings, magical competitions, morally gray hunters, witty banter, no-spice chemistry, and happily-ever-afters earned through impossible choices.

This book releases Nov. 3, 2026. You can preorder the kindle edition now here for a special price! Paperbacks and hardcovers will be available closer to the release date with the special edges. Keep your eyes open for the stunning artwork. Want to review the book and get an advanced reader copy, sign up here!

 

TO LOVE A SIREN

An enemies-to-lovers Little Mermaid romantasy where a hunter falls for the mermaid princess he’s sworn to destroy.

The song of my heart, the hunter of my soul.

Hans Christian Andersen has spent his life hunting monsters. He never expects the most dangerous one to be a mermaid princess who steals his heart.

Princess Serena of Nautica will do anything to save her kingdom from the Enchantress’ monsters. So despite her weak fin, she embraces the siren magic and enters the deadly competition for the crown. The merfolk who hunts the most undead creatures in Neverland and brings back their essence to protect the kingdom, wins the throne.

But when Serena comes face-to-face with Hans in battle, she discovers he’s the Enchantress’s most feared hunter and the greatest threat to everything she’s fighting for. Yet the two realize they need each other. Hans must capture Serena’s story, while Serena believes she can siren him to help her defeat the Enchantress.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, they venture through enchanted forests, haunted waters, and a sea witch’s castle, where every secret draws them closer, and every truth threatens to tear them apart.

Because if Hans fails, he’ll lose the people he swore to protect. If Serena fails, her kingdom will fall. And if they surrender to the forbidden love growing between them, both worlds may be lost.

Perfect for readers who love fairy-tale retellings, magical competitions, morally gray hunters, witty banter, no-spice chemistry, and happily-ever-afters earned through impossible choices.

A New Romantasy Coming to You

Sep 16, 2025 | | 0 Comments

After over 6 years of work, I’m thrilled to share with you that I’m releasing my adult romantasy Cinderella retelling! It’s called TO LOVE A GRIMM. This is the first in a series called Fairy Tale Hearts, where each novel draws inspiration from the legendary storytellers themselves, including Jacob Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, and others. To Love a Grimm will release on Nov. 11, 2025 in ebook and paperback. Hardcover special editions will be offered through a Kickstarter if we get funded. More on that soon.

I’ll be offering a preorder special if you get the paperback through your favorite indie bookstore, so be on the lookout for that too!

I am in love with the cover! Here it is!

Here is the book’s blurb:

For fans of Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon a Broken Heart and Brigid Kemmerer’s A Curse So Dark and Lonely, this swoony Cinderella romantasy will sweep you away to a world of fairytales and happily ever afters.

The prince of my heart, the hunter of my soul.

When Jacob Grimm’s beloved brother, Wilhelm, falls gravely ill, Jacob will do anything to save him—even strike a blood bargain with a cunning Enchantress. In exchange, the brothers become her Hunters, cursed to serve her dark will. Their task sends them on a quest to a kingdom where villagers whisper of men turning to wolves, nixies lurking in ponds, and the young disappearing into the Black Forest, trailing after the tune of a piper.

But upon arrival, Jacob realizes there are evil forces at work, more powerful than the brothers have encountered. Seeking help, Jacob joins an alliance with a nobleman’s daughter, the smart and beautiful Ella von Maier. Yet, she too holds dark secrets, and she’ll do anything to keep them hidden.

Swept into a world of court glamor and alluring magic, Jacob and Ella’s lives are inextricably intertwined as they work to save the kingdom and break his curse. But as truths begin to unfold, Ella wonders if she can trust this handsome stranger, or if he’s, in fact, her enemy.

As friendship blooms into love, their cursed fates force them to make impossible choices where fairy tales and love come at a treacherous cost.

To Love a Grimm is a standalone fantasy. If you crave forbidden romance, star-crossed lovers, protective heroes with hidden scars, and a heroine who must choose between duty and her heart, you’ll be enchanted by this thrilling tale that ends in a happily ever after.

Happy Release Day, Fairy Tale Road!

Today is the release day for Fairy Tale Road! This story has taken a journey of its own. I wrote this book last summer for the Kindle Vella Velly’s and it became a Finalist Winner. But when Vella was shut down, I didn’t want to let this story sit on my computer so I’m thrilled to have it available in paperback, ebook, and KU for you. I hope it makes you laugh- or at least smile- and you have a little fun as you flip the pages.
Writing romcoms has been very therapeutic for me by writing something light, fun, and carefree. Those of you who are my fantasy lovers, don’t worry, I definitely have more books in the works for you in the next year!
Thank you all for coming along this journey with me. It’s been a wild ride, but I’m so thrilled that you’re with me along the way.

Velly’s Finalist Winner

Sep 9, 2024 | , , | 0 Comments

FAIRY TALE ROAD was picked as a Velly’s Finalist Winner!

I’ve never written anything so fast before or so complicated (There were multiple versions of the same storyline going on, ya’ll!). This idea of a choose-your-own-adventure for adults was a wild one but my friends, Amy  Parker and Vivi  Barnes, were so encouraging and told me to go for it!

This summer was a bit of a blur, but despite losing sleep and drinking too much coffee, I had so much fun writing this rom-com with a touch of magic. It was like I was taking a summer trip to Germany with you all, and I loved every moment.

To make it to the semi-finalist round, the judges picked the stories with the most follows, likes, and faves, and that’s where you all stepped it up and were there for me. Wow. I’m so grateful to you for your encouragement and support of this story. You kept me writing and I love you all!

At the semi-finalist stage, the stories were judged on:

Originality & Creativity
Characters & Plot
Writing Style
Reader Engagement

For this stage, I am deeply grateful to my crit partners, Janice Hardy and Sarah Koehler. These ladies are pros when it comes to the craft of writing (literally). How lucky am I to call them my crit partners?

Since Vella was also judging us on well-edited stories, I’m incredibly thankful to Sarah Ward Books who agreed to my crazy idea of sending her small chunks of the story each week to edit. She is an amazing editor/copyeditor, and I highly recommend her.

I’m incredibly grate to my husband for reading early versions of this story and providing feedback. He could’ve been an editor in a different life. Plus, he was so supportive along the way.

Many of you know that Kindle Vella changed my life. It brought me to meet new writers and readers, many of you who are reading this. And it gave me a really fun outlet to interact with readers in ways I never had before or even thought possible.

What a journey. Thank you for coming along and joining me. If you haven’t followed the story yet, you can go here and read the first 10 episodes for free!
