I was going through Transformed recently and found this gem.

Had so much fun at Get Witchy with It over the weekend. Salem was awesome, I got to talk with some other authors, and meet some really cool readers 😊

I got this bookish necklace from @vitaljewelryco while at a convention. It is so cute, I’m wearing it almost daily and it goes so well with everything! She has so many different options for bookish jewelry. Go check her out 😊

I’ve always loved dragons and have made sure to add at least one dragon or a mention of them in each of my books. This scene was the most fun to write. Their banter is gold.

Transformed:

The Great Bazaar has always been a safe haven for misfits and creatures. With most of them hunted ever since the war began, Asher has tried his best to provide hope for all that come there, unlike the ringmaster before him. He never thought Owen of all people would come back home with one of the most hunted creatures in tow. A witch. The witch everyone was after. One that he was convinced could enchant any man. He was faced with a decision: go against everything he believed in and cast them out or face a love he never thought was possible.

Asher does everything for a reason. Thought I’d drop another book quote for today. This time from Transformed.

Blood & Sunlight quote ☀️No matter what, Soran will always place Jade first.

Writing Asher and getting to figure out what made him tick was so rewarding and fun. Out of everything in the carnival, I like that he carved out pieces just for him and everything he says is for a reason. The reader just has to figure out why.

Here’s some things I got from some vendors, artists, and authors this past weekend at OUAC. Go check them out. They look like some really interesting stories that I’m so excited to dive into. I also got some artwork that I’ll be sharing later that are going to look so good on my walls.

#bookstagram #fantasyromance #bookevents #ouac #books

My time in Maryland at OUAC.

#bookstagram #romantasy #fantasyromance #bookevents #ouac

My set up for OUAC. I’ve been really trying to change my displays for the better every time I go to a bookish ball or con. I already have some ideas on what I want to add for the next one.

#bookstagram #bookish #authortok #bookevent #ouac

I spent most of my time at OUAC in the market all weekend and while I know things were happening throughout the con, I met some really lovely vendors and artists and had a great time with the people that helped me out. I know I left the event, making friends, catching up with readers from past events and that felt great.

#bookishevents #ouac #ouac2025 #bookstagram #authortok

Come check me out today @onceuponaconvention at my booth, K12. Here’s the wrap up of everything you can expect at my spot. So excited to meet everyone!

I stopped by BookCellar Book Bar in Clarence, NY and it was so cute. The food was delicious as well as the drinks. But the best part are the books!

I also just want to say that if you’re in the Middletown, NY area and like tea, this was such a cute place. I got an apple cider tea and it was so good! Plus, the aesthetic was so me with that black mug. It’s the perfect place to sit and read with a good cup of tea @tranquili_tea_calm_your_mind_

As I edit Embers & Chaos, it’s important to go back and check details are the same throughout the first two books. I found myself getting stuck in Blood & Sunlight last night when I was just supposed to be fact checking 😂

I have a few extra copies of the Transformed edition that has the exclusive chapter in it. I always order a few extra in case of damaged editions. Once they are gone, they are gone. I’ll have these editions available at my next two events while supplies last.

#fantasy #fantasyromance #romantasy #bookstagram #spicybookstagram #transformed

Yay! So excited I get to share an Embers & Chaos quote. Enjoy 🔥

#fantasyromance #romantasy #bookstagram #spicybookstagram #books #bookquote #spicybooks #spicyreads #twistedfatesseries

Alright 😎 Let’s get this started. As promised, the Embers & Chaos blurb.

I’m so thankful for everyone who has been so patient in waiting for the third book in the Twisted Fates series. I never expected I would have to put it on pause, but when i started writing the Shifted Duology, I wanted to give it the time it deserved before I finished this series.

With that said, my aim is to have Embers & Chaos out by Dec 2025 and to get the last two of this five book series out quickly after.

In Shadows & Secrets, we left Soran and Jade at a very high cliffhanger… get ready to see the other side of the war and how Raelyn gets to that forest. Embers & Chaos begins with Raelyn’s story right after she burns down Bhrath and she spots Jade.

#bookstagram #romantasy #fantasyromance #spicybookstagram #spicybooks #spicyreads #twistedfatesseries #embersandchaos

For anyone who has had an interest in reading the Shifted Duology, but has just been putting it off… with Embers & Chaos next to be released, I have to let you know, the Shifted Duology is sprinkled with easter eggs for the Twisted Fates series.

#paranormalromancebooks #romantasy #bookstagram #spicybookstagram #fantasyromance #spicybooks #spicyreads #shifted #transformed

I’m ready. Are you ready?

#bookstagram #spicybooks #spicybookstagram #romantasy #fantasyromance #paranormalromance #twistedfatesseries #embers&chaos

I’m heading back to the Twisted Fates series to finally get Embers & Chaos ready for everyone. Who is ready?

Another quote from Transformed 🎪 I Iove sharing ones of Asher.

#fantasyromance #romantasy #transformed #spicybookstagram #bookstagram #spicybooks #spicyreads

If you’ll be attending @onceuponaconvention this August, come stop by my booth and say hi! I’ll have a limited amount of special sprayed edged editions for the Shifted Duology as well as a new raffle each day at my booth. Plus tons of bookish goodies! I fly under these two banners for both of my book series, check out which one peaks your interests more ❤️

You can find me in aisle K Row 8

Banners:

Vyntwood - Do you think you have what it takes to tame the winds of lore? Discover the magic of Vyntwood and learn to listen to the stories passed down from generations of Aelvyn kind. The masters of the great forest, Vyntwood is ruled by the head of the great Aelvyn courts. Think books like Lord of the Rings, anything by Ken Follett and Kingkiller Chronicles.

Oberlynn - Do you have the mind and wit to apply magic for the greater good? Explore the magic of Oberlynn and become a celebrated merchant, adventurer or scholar of yore. Oberlynn is a calm, mild tempered nation specializing in arts and sciences. Built in the design of 1800s industrial revolution with a magical twist, think urban fantasy such as Caraval, Once Upon a Broken Heart, His Dark Materials and Wheel of Time.

Just unpacking some more Transformed books 🎪

Transformed:
The Great Bazaar has always been a safe haven for misfits and creatures. With most of them hunted ever since the war began, Asher has tried his best to provide hope for all that come there, unlike the ringmaster before him. He never thought Owen of all people would come back home with one of the most hunted creatures in tow. A witch. The witch everyone was after. One that he was convinced could enchant any man. He was faced with a decision: go against everything he believed in and cast them out or face a love he never thought was possible.

I love sharing some book quotes. Here’s one from Transformed. Asher has a hard time figuring Shara out. #fantasyromance #romantasy #transformed #spicybookstagram #bookstagram #spicybooks #spicyreads

Transformed is finally here!!! I'm so happy for this release. Book two completes the Shifted Duology and writing about the carnival was probably one of my favorite places to explore in Layol.
