Chapter 3 in “Heart of Sparrow” is out! In case you missed it, I’m reposting a revised version of this story :D 
          
          This chapter features Sparrow’s bestie and the ex! Also some fun banter and a cat that’s super protective. You also get to see Sparrow in her element, styling hair ❤️

Hey everyone! I’m excited to post a new and improved version of “Heart of Sparrow.” My goal is to upload 2 chapters a week, every Tuesday and Thursday until it is COMPLETE. 
          
          This story has a lot going on in it: vampires, werewolves, fey, witches, villains, and inspired myths ❤️ But at its core it’s just a young girl trying to figure out who she is while falling in love :D 
          
          Here is the link if you’d like to learn more. I’ve posted the first two chappies!

Congratulations to everyone who made the ONC shortlist! For the first time ever, one of my stories got through! I am so excited to have gotten this far and am looking forward to expanding the story to get it into shape for the Wattys. Is anyone else entering the Wattys? If so, share below! 
          
          Also, a huge thank you to @WattpadAfterDark for adding The Escaped Con’s Hostage to their Criminal Romance reading list! 
          
          If you’re in the mood for dark contemporary romance about a girl escaping a really bad situation and teaming up with a bad boy, maybe this is the summer read for you :D

Loved meeting you this ONC season and here's a follow to remember ❤️

Hey everyone! If you haven’t yet heard, I’m getting a short story of mine published by OwlCrate Press in their first ever anthology called MONSTERS IN MASQUERADE. It will be out sometime in fall 2024 and I’m super excited. 
          
          OwlCrate just released the cover AND IT’S GORGEOUS ❤️ The sprayed edges are on point!! Receiving the opportunity to be published alongside other established authors is a dream come true!! 
          
          If you’d like to catch a peak of my first sentence and the cover, I added it to the Closing Thoughts chapter in my ONC project :D

!!I'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS!! :D 
          
          First, I apologize for not being as active the past couple weeks. Back in December, I submitted a vampire short story to OwlCrate on a whim and just signed a contract with them this month! My 1950s paranormal-horror-romance combo called "SHE BLOOMS AT NIGHT" is going to be published in OwlCrate's first short story anthology entitled "MONSTERS IN MASQUERADE." It's set to release this fall some time in 2024. I'll keep you all posted :D 
          
          I AM SO EXCITED. Like, sooooo excited. 
          
          So, yes, I was working on my second round of revisions/edits for that, which is why "The Escaped Con's Hostage" got ignored for a moment there...sorry! BUUUUUT now for my second good news.... 
          
          THE ESCAPED CON'S HOSTAGE is complete!! I've just posted Chapters 18 & 19. And the final chapters (20-21 + epilogue) will be published tomorrow! 
          
          Thank you for your patience and understanding. I'm looking forward to changing that button to "COMPLETE" haha. 
          
          And now I can finally start catching up on all the lovely ONC entries. Such a sweet reward <3

Ch. 15 is up in "The Escaped Con's Hostage." This one is a mini spicy one y'all. And possibly a tad triggering. Proceed with caution <3 
          
          As of now on Wattpad, we're at 28,870 words! You better believe I will be using up every single word I can for this novella. There is just way too much to say and do :)
