The Mermaid Catches Her Mate Release
I am SO very excited about this release! Who wouldn’t be? I get to write about mermaids, wizards, unicorns, Fae and so much more. I get to explore and reconnect with Asian mythology and add my own creative spin on it. Most importantly, I get to create heroines who are ethnic and diverse. Characters a lot like me who embraced both the Eastern and Western cultures we grew up in. I’m going to be a bit vulnerable for a moment… when I was asked to write for the Nocturne Falls Universe, I was petrified. I didn’t think I could do it. Even though I was familiar with the epic world that…

The Mermaid Catches Her Mate
It’s been a while, my lovelies! I’m SO excited to announce that I have a total of 4 stories set to release in the Nocturne Falls Universe series! My latest book, THE MERMAID CATCHES HER MATE is my first adventure in this magical world, based on Kristen Painter’s Nocturne Falls, a town where every day is Halloween. The tourists think it’s all pretend, but the locals know better. Today is my official cover reveal, which I’ve been bubbling over with excitement to share since I received the final artwork earlier this year. Today, I’m giving away an Amazon gift card, so hop on over to Kristen’s Facebook page and comment on my post for a chance to…

A New Direction
It’s been a while… I’ve spent the past few years in writing limbo. Sadly, a series of events in my personal life pulled me away from my storytelling. I didn’t completely abandon writing, but I started to drift into a new direction. I learned modern calligraphy, worked on crafts, and even started painting again. Along the way, I followed my heart and took a spiritual journey that would eventually breathe life back into me and my writing.

Abandon Fears
On The Playlist: I LIVED by One Republic * * * * I had to make many tough decisions in my life, but one of the toughest ones happened recently. It’s funny how everything you thought you’ve wanted can change, your priorities shift, and you find out that the things that make you happy is really pretty simple. Writing has been a struggle. Months go by and I can barely squeeze out a page or two. Yet I continue to sit at my desk to will myself to type. Anything. Some days I stare at a blank page and other days I’m fortunate enough to get words down, no matter how crappy they…

Redirection
On The Playlist: SHAKE IT OUT by Florence + The Machine * * * * I struggle every day with words. At one time, I had the ability to crank out up to 50 pages or more in a day! It’s the truth. I could also finish a project in a weekend and work simultaneously on two or three books at the same time. Then life happened. Thus, began the slow decline of my writing schedule. The fire slowly smothered by all the stress and responsibilities, the weight of the world on my shoulders. I’ve tried so hard to get that flame back, just so I can build it up…
