One of my proofreaders asked me how I came up with some of the traumatic events in Reign of Betrayal. Well… here is my older brother… we had a rough childhood. He’s my hero. I think writing is so therapeutic because you can bleed your trauma on to the pages without ever saying a word #writersky

Yearning…. It’s the reason I read books! Nothing better than two scorned souls desperately yearning for each other. #authorsky #darkromantasy #writersky #reignofbetrayal #booksky

I am a nurse too! And imposter syndrome gets me a lot even though everyone that read my Book loves it. And my older brother said to me… you will never regret trying but you will regret giving up
