To Love a Siren Releases Today

Nov 3, 2026 | | 0 Comments

The day is here! To LOVE A SIREN is available on all book outlets. I started brainstorming and planning To Love a Siren a year ago, so it’s exciting to hold the book in my hand. Every time I start a new book, I always wonder if I can actually write it! It’s terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. I hope you will fall in love with these two new characters, Hans and Serena, and have so much fun following the journey of their love. This is a Little Mermaid retelling, but it also weaves other Hans Christian Andersen’s tales within its pages.

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

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!

Jun 3, 2025 | | 0 Comments

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.
