Thorn is Here!

I am so excited for you to read Prue and Kaleb's story, and I hope you love them as much as I do. :)

Thorn will continue to have a special release week price of 99c through Sunday, so if you want to read it, this is the best time to buy it. :) Next week the price will rise to $2.99.


If you preordered Thorn:

While waiting for the release date to come around, I reread Thorn and found a few changes I wanted to make. I’ve made those changes and uploaded a new version to Amazon. However, you might have to manually download the new version.

Here's how you can ensure you're reading the best version of Thorn:


Prue’s mother locked her away in a private realm to keep her safe from a vicious decades-long war happening on the mainland… at least that’s what she said. What if that was all a lie?

With only her mother’s love to keep her company, Prue passed the years woodworking, gardening, and practicing archery in the privacy of her very own realm. Save for the few times her mother had returned bearing exotic foods and gifts, Prue had never met another person, and most days books were her only companions.

Until one day, a hunter and his canine companion found their way into Prue’s realm. All his life Kaleb had traveled through the forest near his village and never came upon a castle. Eager to explore a new place, he convinces a reluctant Prue to allow him entry to her castle.

As the pair get to know each other, secrets are revealed, discrepancies are uncovered, and emotions reach levels the two have never experienced.

This Rapunzel retelling takes place in the lush world of Avarthonia, where gods and goddesses roam their territories freely, dragons stalk the skies, and magic prevails.

Happy Sunday! Oops! I thought this newsletter was sent out on Wednesday like it was supposed to, but it turns out it was stuck in my drafts. Apologies for sending this out a bit late, but I do have some great books to share with you. Since I'm adding in an apology, I wanted to add in a question: Did you watch Eurovision? If so, which song was your favorite? Reply and let me know. I liked the songs from Finland, Estonia, Austria, and Moldova the best. Here’s a photo from this month. My family...

Happy Wednesday! When I'm writing, everything's a mess. Binders on the floor, papers dragged out of who knows where and spread out for reference, not to mention the fact that dishes pile up for a bit longer than I'd like. The trade off is that I'm in the zone and productive, but dang, sometimes the messiness can really get to me (or my husband, who is a total neat freak). PS: this photo only shows one binder, and isn't an accurate representation of my writing mess! (I do love those YouTube...

Happy Wednesday! It was our dog Hamphrey's birthday over the weekend, so we took him to the park and to Petsmart to pick out some special treats. Here he is resting after a lap around the pond: Do you celebrate pet birthdays? I don't go all out (we've never thrown a party for him), but I like to do a little something to acknowledge that my dog is getting older. He's 9 this year, and it's wild to think we've almost spent a decade together! I miss the puppy years when he would dart around the...
