2024

I have a lot of plans going forth in the coming year. I hope you will all stick around to see them come to fruition.

Beauty and the Beast Retelling:

My current WIP is a beauty and the beast retelling and it will be the beginning of a fairy tale retelling trilogy I am calling the Trouvaille Series. Trouvaille is my favorite French word and it means “A lucky find” and I thought it was fitting for my little lgbtqia characters and their love interests. There is more about the batb wip under my works in progress page!

Have it All Sequel:

So, I was asked to write a sequel to Have it All and, frankly, I already had ideas floating around for one. I want to focus on a different character for the sequel, Chuck my little ace himbo. I have a romance in mind for him and I would love to share it with the world. I also have an idea for a third installment, but that’s going to take a bit longer!

YA Fantasy Novel:

Yes! I’m dipping my toes into YA, but it will be under a different pen name. I will share that pen name and the accounts that go with it! There will be a lot more information and mood boards and all that good stuff in the coming months.

I hope you all are as excited about 2024 as I am!

New WIP

I have started the process of writing a brand new novel. The tentative title is Have It All. It is a wlw, rivals to lovers, contemporary romance. It will have a diverse and colorful cast of characters including the main character a tough, take no shit, lesbian and her rival a bisexual Latina who secretly has a soft heart. This story is about a woman who dreams of leaving her small town and becoming a professional dancer. Along the way she meets new friends as well as her biggest rival.

Look out for more information on Have It All. I have posted a little bit more about my main character Liora on instagram and twitter. More character introductions will be coming soon!

Words

Sometimes I run across “rules” for writing which makes me roll my eyes. These rules dictate which words I should and should not use. 

  • Don’t let your characters sigh
  • Characters shouldn’t smirk
  • A character doesn’t chuckle

Why not? Because they are overused or in the case of smirk and chuckle, people don’t do those things in real life. Such silliness.

I don’t believe in telling someone what words to use and not to use. There are times, yes, when grammatically speaking a word shouldn’t be used, but for the most part a writer is free to choose whatever suits them best. People chuckle, people sigh, and they smirk too. A writer shouldn’t feel held back by what someone else dictates. They should write what feels natural to the scene and to the character.
