Long time no post, right?

Without going into the level of detail where I’d violate a family member’s privacy, the last four years have been rough to put it mildly. There was the year I felt paralyzed. I couldn’t write anything. There was the year I went back to school (for a job it turned out I loathe) and was too busy to write consistently. Finally there were several years when the idea of writing anything for publication set off anxiety the likes of which I’ve rarely felt. Instead of writing for publication/profit, I spent my time in the safe embrace of fanfiction. But I am finally, finally ready to jump back into writing for publication.

Where I’ve been since 2020…

Comet’s First Christmas, the first book in The North Pole Chronicles, came out in December 2020. It tells the story of Claudia, one of the reindeer with the potential to join Santa’s team, getting a knock on her door on December first. Rudolph informs her that Wendy, the reindeer currently serving as Comet can’t fly this year, and Claudia’s being called up to join the team. With just over three weeks until the Big Show and no experience in the human world, Claudia is sent to New York City. Meeting the gorgeous elf Jillian, who is serving as her personal assistant stirs feelings in Claudia that she’s never experienced. Just as the women are becoming closer disaster strikes. Belief in Santa among the top percentage of the Nice List is suddenly plummeting, and no one knows why. Can Claudia overcome her anxiety and imposter syndrome to get the girl? Can they save Christmas? (Sweet lesbian Romantasy, no spice)

Blitzen’s Second Chance was published in 2021, and is the second book in the North Pole Chronicles. After the events of book one Percy (aka Blitzen), the Pole’s tech genius and resident nerd, is feeling awful. She wants nothing more than to stay at the Pole and obsessively monitor everything. Rudolph pulls rank, though, banning Percy from the Pole in order to ensure she relaxes enough to rebuild her Christmas magic. To make the banishment a little less painful, Rudolph provides Percy with a ticket to Boston Comic-Con. There she meets Scarlett, a fellow nerd who creates incredible cosplays. Their friendship takes a left turn in the Spring when Scarlett begs Percy to go to a family wedding as her (fake) “girlfriend.” The confusing line between their real and pretend relationship begins to blur as the wedding approaches. But all is not as it seems once they arrive at the wedding.

Both books are free on Kindle Unlimited, .99 on Kindle, and 6.99 if you prefer a paperback. I wish I could price the paperback lower, but that is the minimum that Amazon has set. In exciting news, I’ve begun audiobook production for Comet, and I’ll follow that up with Blitzen!

Upcoming Projects

2025

Over the next few months the audiobooks for the first two books in The North Pole Chronicles will drop. I am hoping to get the third book in the series out by mid-late November. That depends on how fast I can write and turn around the book with my editor. Fingers crossed! Otherwise that will get pushed to Fall of 2026.

2026

My first project of 2026 is going to be the audiobook for Lab Rats. I have a draft of the sequel, The Lioness and the Mouse, but there are edits to be done as well as work with a sensitivity reader. If I can get book three out this year, book four of The North Pole Chronicles will come out in 2026.

Beyond

I have a very spicy Romantasy MMF trilogy in the planning stages that I’m very excited about. Depending on how everything goes, I’m hoping to get the first book out in 2027 or 2028. Book one and the series will be called Born of the Fae. I expect that each of the books in the trilogy will be in the 300-400 page range (75-100k words). More on that as things progress-at the moment it’s a long doc of notes and plot points and a stack of books.

I hope you’ll rejoin me on my journey!
