To date, I have written nine full novels. Read on for more information.
Detours with Dust Bunnies
(Chick-lit / Urban Fantasy elements)
Late-twenties Lissie trades her beloved routines for a high-paying, out-of-state maid job but soon discovers a demon lurking in her reclusive employer’s cellar.
Detours with Dust Bunnies has romance, mystery, and loads of comedy—which mostly point to my own previous stumbles in life. It is the product of ten years of second-guessing, rewriting, and looking back on turbulent twenties. Detours is my fourth complete novel and wouldn't be what it is today without critique partners and persistence through loads of revisions. If I become a traditionally published author, I would love for this novel to be my debut.
I'm currently pushing it for traditional publication. Wish me luck in my querying journey.
Serene Sundown
(Paranormal Romance Trilogy)
Sheltered Mariah finds herself at a crossroads—flee back home after her abduction off the Hawaiian shores, or follow her accidental rescuer into a dangerous underworld.
Book 1 of a series, Serene Sundown has been a labor of love and joint effort between me and a good friend. What began as fun exchanges over messenger became a sprawling paranormal romance brimming with vampires, creatures, and magic.
Serene Seclusion
The continuation of Mariah's journey as she learns more about the strange creatures surrounding her and the strength of unchecked depravity in both humans and creatures. Her heart wavers in the face of mounting peril and inexplicable scenarios. When betrayal looms, she seeks help from a witch and a gentle soul who keeps watch from the shadows.
Serene Surrender
Mariah's struggles culminate when she attempts to find her way solo. Her dream of working with creatures keeps her immersed in the night—where danger persists. A new foe rises, seeking an ancient power connected to her. When past allies waver, her mistakes nearly cost her more than her most treasured possession.
Pencil Pricks
(Romance)
Cia seeks the good in every bad situation—except when her ex-boyfriend is her new independent art class instructor. Determined to prove she’s unaffected, she ignores Mori’s blunt criticism and his cute backside. But his continued quips slam into 8-year-old wounds that pushed her into years of therapy. Worse, she can’t tell if he’s the same jerk who shattered her confidence or if he’s hiding old feelings. If she can just get through the stupid-expensive course without driving a pencil through his leg, or ending up under his desk with him, she’ll have the confidence she needs to make her pet portraits a lucrative job—and prove her anger doesn’t control her.
Three Scoops of Integrity
(Romance Comedy)
My NaNoWriMo project for 2021, based on a short story. It turned into a RomCom involving fad Nineties toys and a well-trained Australian Shepherd.
Johnna thought breaking up with her cheating boyfriend was a step in the right direction until she realizes the mistakes she made while she was with him. With her integrity on the line, she goes on a journey to right the three major wrongs and save the relationships that matter.
Dawn Denied
(Urban Fantasy)
Half-vampire, Dawn, has spent nearly three decades blending with mortals on sunny Hilton Head Island. When a full vampire attacks her human friend, she's torn between learning about the heritage she's never known and protecting her peaceful life.
This is a standalone prequel to the Serene Sundown Trilogy and is in the querying stage.
Second-Hand Harmony
(Women's Fiction/Literary)
My first NaNoWriMo project. A literary therapy write for unresolved family issues. Though I'm not sure I'll ever be able to revise and publish it, the first draft is complete.
Bunless Ovens
(Women's Fiction/Comedy)
