Current Projects

The project I’m currently working on is The Crowbar: Shady Magic series.

It should have a similar vibe to the Witch’s Bite series, though Laurel won’t be quite the underdog Olivia was 😉

Expected Release: Summer 2023

How many books will the series have?

At least three, but 5 at most. I’ve found 5 is the limit of what I feel comfortable writing in a single series.

Will there be spinoffs?

I actually really want to write a spinoff for this series in particular! I’m excited about the world I’m building, and I think there will be a lot of room for that.

Will there be romance?

This is a bonus for some, and a negative for others. I’m looking to strike a balance. This will definitely be urban fantasy, and not paranormal romance. All of Laurel’s relationships will be important to her–including any romantic relationships. This series will not have any explicit sex, but there will be some steamier scenes when it feels appropriate for the characters.

There is a book I have been sitting on for…about 5 or 6 years?

It was the first book I ever wrote. After going through the editing process, while the book was miles better, my confidence in it had been shattered. But a while back, I returned to it after not touching it for a long time. It wasn’t what I remembered–I liked it.

This is a young adult series with fae, magic, and self-discovery. It tells a lot about me as a fledgling writer, I think. Like the main character, I was finding my footing and discovering my own limits–and the limits that I would break through.

Currently, I’m toying with releasing book 1 in this series in spring of 2023, but with the expectation that book 2 won’t be written or published until the first three books in the Crowbar series are out. (Summer 2024 at the absolute earliest.)

I’ve never been the fastest writer, so waiting wouldn’t be anything new for y’all, but I do want to set the proper expectations for how this series will release 🙂

PS…young adult has more to do with the age of the main character than the content. If you enjoyed Cursed World, I don’t think you’ll be put off by Melodie’s struggles in this book. She is young, and she’ll make mistakes that you, as an adult, wouldn’t. But she will grow, and that journey is the best part.

2023 and beyond

A Heart of Ice will be the next book released in the Dragon Prince’s Mate series, though I don’t have a firm date for when I’ll start working on it.
