PUB DAY FOR THE QUEEN OF SECOND CHANCES, AN URBAN FANTASY / ROMANTASY IS AUGUST 26TH, 2026!

Find it here:

Yes! I’m super psyched to announce The Queen of Second Chances will be pubbled August 26th, 2026 by The Wild Rose Press and available for sale at all major retailers. It’s an urban fantasy romantasy with enemies-to-lovers, found family, reluctant savior, chosen one, rivals to lovers, fated mates, and david v. goliath tropes. Here’s the teaser:

LOGLINE: Someone’s turning her hometown into a battleground of demons, greedy heirs, and soul-sucking Grim Reapers, and the only person who can put on the brakes is a Fate in Training, an 18-year-old girl who risks her life to stop death, until she meets a handsome Grim who at the cost of his standing in the Reaper Corps helps her control her magic, save her friends, and stop a death-count that’s climbing too high too fast before his boss shuts her down for good.

When 18-year-old Destiny Wyrd stumbles upon her beloved local bookstore owner beaten and unconscious, she realizes her once-peaceful community has become a supernatural battleground. As a Fate-in-Training, Destiny has the extraordinary ability to halt death, but her own unresolved grief over the loss of her parents looms like a dark cloud, weakening her powers. With demons stalking the shadows and soul-sucking Grim Reapers closing in, she must harness her magic and fight back. Thrust into a race against time to save her friends and her town, she teams up with the enigmatic and dangerously charming Clay, a Grim who bears secrets of his own. Can she protect her heart, conquer her fears and embrace her fate, or will darkness claim them all?

 Tag Line/Tweet: She saves lives, he harvests souls, can they compromise before their romance dies? A Fated to Fall Romance.

Here’s a review:

December 1st, 2025: I’m on faculty!

Yes! I’ll be presenting as faculty at this year’s WIK conference. My presentation will focus on what has worked for me as far as marketing my books and what hasn’t, and hopefully sharing some insights with my fellow children’s book authors. I’m super excited about this, as it is forcing me to up my game over the next several months. Stop back here for updates on how I’m doing, but you’ll have to come to the conference if you want the full spial.

dated November 11th, 2025: My Calendar is Full of Deadlines & Events

So what’s going on?

— I’ll be part of a writer’s panel this Saturday. It’s free and open to the public, so check it out!

In March, 2026 Spring, I’ll be presenting at my region of SCBWI, Southern Breeze’s annual writing conference in Birmingham. More details on this even later.

And… before during and after, I’ll be Kickstarting some books! The first is the third book in my Ranger Nader & The Guardians series.

I’m working on the murky middle now (the ending is already written. I know! but sometimes for my process it’s easier to write the beginning and the ending and fill in to make the ends meet). I’m also working on the cover and my Kickstarter campaign give-aways and level benefits. I’m really excited about this and I will designing everything myself and I love letting the creative inside of me lose on different projects.

Check back here for updates on this, including dates for my Kickstarter pre-launch and campaign launch. I’m going to run a tight campaign, straddling Earth Day and Arbor Day with fullfillment beginning World Environment Day. Part of the reason I’m keeping it tight, is that I may launch another one in July! More on this later.
