My main project for 2018 is a book exclusive to Radish Fiction. It's a multi-part serial novel called Love is the Drug, and it's about a teen girl who falls for the worst possible man. It's a bit of a departure from my previous work. The heroine is younger and the hero's a little (okay, a lot) ... [Read More]

I got excellent editing and pretty covers. When I wrote my third book, Tell Me a Story, I intended to publish it only in ... [Read More]
