FOURTH WING x SCORPIO RACES "I wince at the searing path it trails down my throat, but when the alcohol forces the knots in my neck to loosen, the restless thing inside me finally stops hammering against my mental walls." #1stlinepit #ya #romantasy #wip #agented

My Biggest Hurdle While Querying

AUPQ: Should ARC Copies Be Used For Comps?

"The farmhand’s attention makes me feel as if I’m a tapestry he’s spent months studying, and now he’s eager to unravel me" "My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth as I fling open the door, hoping I’m wrong, careful to keep my toes on the safe side of the salt line" I'd love to see your lines!

Final Question: Share a line or two from your book! #P2Ppit

I started writing because novels bring me SO MUCH JOY and I long to bring more books into the world that I enjoy as a reader. My stories offer an escapist adventure, thrills, and any dark moments are balanced by hope & characters to cheer for. A romantic subplot and HEA are always a win for me too;)

3rd Question: What made you start writing? #P2Ppit

I have so many writing resolutions for the new year, but one I'm super excited about is completing my YA romantasy story inspired by Fourth Wing + The Scorpio Races + My Lady Jane. It's so much fun and exactly the type of story I adore as a reader! What about you??!
