My Lips Are Sealed

2017

At sixteen years old, I lost my first love, and it shook me to my core. My parents thought taking me out of town for the summer would help me to move on, but I returned home the same way I left: a broken girl who was the last person to see her boyfriend alive. The night before school started back up, I went to an open mic night and poured my heart and soul into a song I wrote for the boy who never made it home. That night, I met Elijah, and we had an instant connection that I couldn’t ignore. For the first time in months, I felt alive again. But the next day, Elijah walked into my drama class…as Mr. Larson, our new teacher. How was I supposed to go back to the way things were when my whole life had been turned upside-down? And how was I supposed to stop myself from falling for the man who had brought me back to life? Note: My Lips Are Sealed is the first book in the Sealed With a Kiss series, and the first book in Zoe's trilogy, which must be read in order.

My Heart Is Sealed

2017

When I was sixteen, I met the love of my life. When I was eighteen, he let me go so I could chase my dream in New York. When I was twenty-two, the dream I’d been chasing came true. When I was twenty-three, the man I’d never stopped loving came back into my life. And when I was twenty-five, I moved back to Florida to start a life with him. Everyone in St. Augustine was so happy to have me back. Except for one person. One person who seemed to want nothing more than to watch the life I was trying to build with my fiancé fall apart. When we first met, Elijah and I had to fight because we weren’t supposed to be in love. But how were we supposed to fight this time, when we had no idea who we were fighting or why we were fighting them? Trigger Warning: The topics of domestic abuse and sexual assault are discussed in this book. Note: My Heart Is Sealed is the second book in the Sealed With a Kiss series, and the second book in Zoe's trilogy, which started with My Lips Are Sealed and must be read in order.

My Voice Is Sealed

2021

Ten seconds. Thirteen words. That was all it took to reveal the skeleton in my closet. A dark truth that would doom me to a lifetime of misery: I was hopelessly in love with my stepsister. When my mother and stepfather sent me packing the moment I turned eighteen, I should have taken the hint and backed away. But Sadie was fighting a battle that couldn’t be won alone. A battle against her father, the doctors trying to treat her epilepsy, and most of all, her own body. And I loved her too much to abandon her when she needed me the most. Could I be what Sadie needed without giving in to my feelings, or would the pull between us end up being too strong to resist? _Trigger Warning: This book deals with the subjects of physical and psychological manipulation and abuse and suicidal ideation. Note: My Voice Is Sealed is the ninth book in the Sealed With a Kiss series, but it may be read as a complete standalone._

Carmen Richter is an old soul. Her words are like theater, masterfully spun to bring all the feels, interspersed with music that makes your heart soar. She needs her coffee to make the words flow, and some of her best writing is done in a caffeine-induced haze at one in the morning with a soundtrack that ranges from jazz standards to rock to show tunes and everything in between. When she's not writing, she loves going to live concerts and especially live theater, or just staying in and binging Criminal Minds or Law and Order: SVU for the zillionth time. Carmen lives in Kansas City with her boyfriend, Brett, and their two fur babies, a bunny named Marty and a cat named Mal. In addition to writing, she also has two branches of a business that aims to provide quality services to independent authors at a reasonable price. CPR Editing deals with everything inside your book: editing, proofreading, and interior formatting. CPR Designs deals with, well, design: logos and branding, social media graphics, covers, and teasers. Carmen loves interacting with her fans and will happily respond to all messages personally until she gets uber famous and gets a ton of them. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
