Frequently Asked Questions
What genres do you write?
I write primarily in the dark fantasy and contemporary romance genres, though tropes and micro-tropes will vary by story.
Are your stories safe for young readers?
Some of my stories are intended for young adult readers. From the Shadows, Through the Flames, Legacy of the Night, and Rise of the Dragon can be enjoyed by readers aged 14+.
Can adults read your young adult/new adult books?
Of course! My stories have been enjoyed by readers ranging from ages 14 to 80+.
Are any of your books meant only for adults?
Yes! All of my romance books contain content that should not be read by anyone under the age of 18.
Should I read your books in any specific order?
I only have one series that should be read in order: The Ravinia Duology. Legacy of the Night is the first book, and Rise of the Dragon is the second. The rest of my books are standalones or interconnected standalones that can be read in any order (although I do recommend reading the Written in the Stars books in the order in which they were released!).
Where should I start if I've never read your books before?
It depends on what genre you enjoy reading, and the age range of books you enjoy! If you are interested in adult romance, I'd recommend Love on Tour or Starstruck. If you enjoy dark young adult fantasy, I'd recommend From the Shadows. For new adult romantic fantasy, I'd recommend Legacy of the Night.
Do you do any events where I can meet you in person?
