Threading Carefully

2024

Lonely and bored with life, I was talked into going on a trip to the Monster world. I planned on seeing new things and visiting places different from what I'm used to, but I never planned on him. Nova wasn't like the others of his kind or anything like me. He was a combination of several humans but didn't think like one or share the same experiences. He was the only one willing to find me the medicine I needed, but only if I made a trade with him. He wanted the human experience. To cuddle, hold hands, kiss, and make love with someone like me. I didn't know how far I'd go for the needs of my patients at the hospital, but after a while, I realized how far I wanted to go for him.

He thought the Monster Match app might finally find him a compatible partner, but no one responds to him as a match. Perhaps the only way he’ll know passion is to switch what he’s looking for from romance to the carnal side of human curiosity.

Conjured Chaos Kisses

2024

Being a Myth Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype Leander Mast didn’t ask to come to Rivenfield, and he definitely didn’t ask to be thrust into the middle of a neighborhood battle over an ancient tree, but as a Giwoggle—who goes wherever a witch might conjure him—he doesn’t have much choice in the matter. And Leander definitely doesn’t count on getting stuck. While Leander attempts to get home, struggling against the magic keeping him from stepping outside the town limits, he butts heads with Ben, his new grumpy neighbor. And it doesn’t help that Leander cut down Ben’s tree. The Neighborhood Outcast Ben Wise knows two things about life. Firstly, he would love to date one of the new monsters in town because humans are, without a doubt, boring. Secondly, he hates the man who took over his neighbor’s house. He’d had a running battle with the old man as well. It’s as if the universe decided to try to drive Ben insane because everywhere he goes, he runs into Leander—the jerk who cut down his tree. The grocery store. The local diner. His own backyard. Ben is plagued by Leander’s presence. And finally, they even match on the new monster dating app Ben has been using. Ben swears he’s going to walk the other way any time he sees Leander—online or off—but fate seems to have other ideas. And Ben is furious about it.

Okay, actually my sister spends all her money on K-Pop CDs (YES, CDs) and I spend all my money on books and writerly stuff.

I spend most of my days writing, editing, and perfecting the craft of storytelling.

The Facebook group is the fastest way to get in touch with me because I infrequently check DMs and sometimes miss email notifications from Goodreads letting me know someone has asked a question. Thank you, and happy reading!
