Release Date for THE REIGN OF DARKNESS

The Reign of Darkness, the fourth and final book of the Creatures of Darkness Series, will be released on March 3, 2020! 🧛‍♀️🌈 So…just a little over two weeks from now! 🖤

I’ve been reluctant to post a release date because, between life events and rewrites, it can get really unpredictable. This last year (or so) has been a tough one, and my writing time has been more limited than ever. And on top of that, each time I would get close to finishing, I would decide to rewrite it all over again. 😅

My anxiety is partly to blame for that. This is the final book of the series, after all. I want it to be perfect (or as perfect as possible, anyway). I’ve been dreaming up this book for so long (since I started the series), and I want it to be the satisfying, worthy conclusion that I’ve always hoped it would be. 🖤

Your support of this series—and of Rose and Kara—has meant the world to me, and I will never be able to thank you enough for it. 🖤 But I hope I can at least give you a satisfying conclusion to the series—and one that was worth the wait. 🖤

Two more weeks! 🖤

P.S. — I’m extremely sleep-deprived, so if this sounds a little sappy and rambly, that’s probably why. 😅

Happy Holidays ❤️

Sorry for the absence lately. I tend to get depressed during the holidays, and I recluse a bit. I’ve also been having my Really Bad Migraines again, and obviously, light sensitivity and partial blindness make social media hard.

But I hope you all had great holidays! ❤️💚❤️💚

And if you, like me, find the holidays difficult, I’m sending extra good thoughts your way. ❤️💚❤️💚

Teaser: Battle-Axe

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to my American readers, and Happy How-Is-It-December-Already to everyone else. 💙 Thanks to the holidays, kids’ birthdays, the flu, and then a bit of a depression spiral, I’m pretty behind on updates, but I’ll try to share one within the next few days. 💙 Until then…teaser! 💙

I hope you enjoy it! And have a wonderful week! 💙

Oh, you know, just your typical bedtime bickering…

…about a battle-axe. 😅

Happy National Coming Out Day!

‪Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️‍🌈‬

‪I joke sometimes about how I basically just snuck out of the closet while no one was looking and hoped no one noticed.‬

‪But the truth is…coming out is hard. It’s a long process that is sometimes painful, sometimes dangerous, and never easy.‬

‪I hope you know that wherever you are in the process—already out, coming out, or not ready—you’re not alone, and you’re loved. And you have a queer family out there cheering for you. So, whether you stay in, come out slowly, or jump out when you’re ready…happy Coming Out Day. 💙

World Mental Health Day

Since it’s World Mental Health Day, I’m sharing this scene from The Assassins of Light again—as a reminder that mental illness doesn’t mean you’re less or weak or any other stigma people have attached to it. It’s okay to not be okay. 💙

If you follow me on social media, you probably know that I struggle a lot with mental illness, too. That’s why it’s so important to me to write characters like Rose, who have PTSD and depression—or other mental illnesses. I want you to know that, even if you feel alone in this, you’re not. 💙 And if you ever need internet hugs, I’m happy to send them. 💙 Love you guys. Take care of yourselves. 💙

Happy International Lesbian Day!

Happy International Lesbian Day from your local, awkward, writing-obsessed lesbian! 😅 I hope you all had a good day! 🏳️‍🌈

And to celebrate, here’s the character aesthetic for our favorite lesbian, seductive, Viking-warrior-vampire: Kara! ❤️ (At least I hope she’s our favorite. That was awfully specific. 😂)

Happy Bi Visibility Day!

Happy Bi Visibility Day to all of my bisexual friends and readers! 💖💜💙 You’re so valid and so awesome, and if anyone makes you feel less than, just pretend you’re Rose and melt their insides with your mind. Ahem…I mean… 😅‬

Love you guys! 💖💜💙

And…speaking of Rose…since it’s Bi Visibility Day, here’s Rose being very bi. 😂
