When I started writing, it was a side project. I wanted to get stories out there, maybe make a career of this pasttime, and generally, just have fun.

Now, I KNOW I want this as a career, but I've had to make some changes as I discover who I am as a career writer. 

1. Know your limits. You know if you're a morning or a night person. And if you don't know, then learn, but in general, stick to what you know of yourself and don't give yourself unreasonable goals (i.e. "get up at 6 am and write for two hours" when you've never gotten up at 6 am a day in your life OR "write 3,000 words" when you know you only have an hour to write that day)

2. Stick to your schedule. Once you know your limits, build your schedule--and stick to it!

3. Don't compromise when it comes to recovery time. You need to recover. Set aside ONE DAY each week to let your mind unwind, and don't compromise on that day being your "disconnect" day.

4. Don't ignore your muses. Seriously. Listen to what they say (your mind, your muse, whatever you call your creative flow), and WRITE. Don't overthink it. Don't question who will (or won't) like it. JUST WRITE.

5. Jot it down. If something comes to you, even on your "disconnect" or "break" days, or on days where you don't have time to write, jot down the idea you had. Just something simple. If it was a good idea, the jotted note will spark something; if it wasn't, don't worry over it. 

6. Balance both ends. This means that many of us NEVER take breaks, which is why a recovery day is needed. Then there are those of us who stick religiously to our breaks even when this is the time we should be writing. Don't write too long. And don't break too long. Basically, find a balance. This leads to ...

7. In whatever you do, just be consistent (similar to the last). No matter what works for you, find a pattern to it, find your way, and what is the healthiest, richest experience for you--and dive in.

He’s prideful, rich, and next in line to be king of the eagles.
She’s an eensy bit prejudiced, and a lot rock and roll.
What these two City of Angels’ supernaturals are about to discover is that there is so much more to a person than what meets the eye.
 

Eagle Fitzwilliam Ambustus is controlled, precise, and direct. He doesn’t have the time nor the emotional wherewithal to be anything other than who he is. Others think him cold and unfeeling, but that’s just the surface. Beneath his suits, he is so much more.
 

Elizabeth Argueta is a free spirit. She’s a rock and roll, go-with-my-flow drummer on a mission to live life to the beat of her own drum. And most importantly, she’s got a view of the world that sets her firmly apart from the rich and the clingy of the L.A. scene.
 

When these two meet, it might be sparks-at-first-sight, but they’ll have to get over their pride and their prejudice to not only overcome those trying to keep them apart but also to understand and come to love each other ... just as they are.
 

Note: The first book in the Shifter Kings L.A. series is short, sassy, sexy, shift-tastic, and a whole lot of rock and roll … with a little Pride and Prejudice thrown in.

❄️‿➹⁀☆ New Release ☆‿➹⁀❄️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A cursed mermaid who wonders if she’ll ever find the one.
A sheriff who thinks he’s past his prime.
Snow is falling, holiday magic is all around, and two people are about to find that it’s never too late for second chances.

❄️❄️❄️❄️⠀⠀

Sheriff Aaron Holmes is a Silver Fox—only he doesn’t know it. He thinks he’s past his prime and has settled on the idea that in a town full of magic, he’ll never have his happily ever after.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Charlotta Lawsen spent one thousand years sleeping—until she woke up, and that very day, met and fell promptly head-over-heels for the new deputy in town.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Twenty-five years later, she’s only more in love with Aaron, but she knows with her reputation, she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance with the good-to-his-core sheriff.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the season of magical beginnings, though, and Aaron and Charlotta are about to experience the perfect holiday recipe: one part meddling family, two parts Fate, a dash of romance, and the secret ingredient of a hidden treasure … mix it all up, and what do you get? A Sapphire Lake tale (or is it tail?) that’ll have you singing "Silver Bells” and craving tater tots.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sassy mermaids + sexy sheriffs = a Christmas story you don’t want to miss ...

A future king who doesn't want to be.
A witch with a heart-breaking past.
And secrets neither can keep for long ...


Seraphina Raynes has had a lifetime of avoidance. At every turn, she’s pushed herself into the next challenge and over the next hurdle. And she always but always survives. Until she finds herself climbing a mountain she doesn’t think she can handle alone.


Wolf Yaeger has never wanted to be king. He wants a quiet life in the mountains with a human mate who will give him some pups and who likes to get her some.


The minute he claps eyes on Sera, he knows she’s the human for him. Now, he’ll stop at nothing to make her his.


There’s just one tiny something he doesn’t know yet, and it's a doozie of a revelation he might not be able to get past …


Warning: Sassy, sweet, angsty, SEXY shifter novella-length read ahead...

Releases: August 19, 2019

It's sort of surreal that I've now released my third book in the series. WOLF is done and the ARCs will be going out in a week or so. POISON is set to go to my editor next week. HEAVY (book one of Shifter Kings Los Angeles) is already in the works. It's such an amazing whirlwind adventure I'm on, and I'm so excited to share it with everyone. 

Here's a fun review I got on SHARK!
