Episodes
Today is release day for the Italian translation of NEVER THE ROSES! Also, I'll be at Tucson Festival of Books this weekend. Thoughts on signing tables - standing or sitting? - and having the cred to give advice.

Long time, so see ~ In case you missed it, I was in San Diego for LoveLitCon and moderated a Romantasy panel while I was there. I also discovered the view under the bridge is sometimes the more interesting story. I also drive uHauls now.
Pussy Sparkle Ribbon Inquiries can be made through the website
Share your thoughts on the episode The Morning Refill is open to all listeners and I look forward to hearing from you lovelies!
Is it your responsibility to make your morals known? Yes. Is it your responsibility to have an opinion on ethical issues? Also, yes. Pussy Sparkle Ribbon Inquiries can be made through the website! I'm super excited for you guys to get your very own. And if you're in the San Diego area, my DMs are OPEN.
Welcoming February with a moral quarry; to BookCon or to not? Obviously, the answer is to not, but the bigger concept is that can you always choose to not when it comes to the big corporations.
Ask me a question! The Morning Refill is your place to send me your thoughts. I've gotten requests recently for Pussy Sparkle ribbons, so I will definitely let you know of those details once they're ready.
Don't resist Pussy Sparkle because it's happening, and so is the Magic Reborn audio book. My take on the Taylor Swift leaked text messages and also female friendships in general. And my response to being ghosted.
Join me for your First Cup of Coffee every Monday at 9:30AM and suggest a topic or ask a question here at The Morning Refill.
Unfortunately, it is a devastating realization that we rarely know when we are doing something for the very last time.
First Cup of Coffee will be up every Monday at 9:30AM.

Give yourself credit for surviving 2025, and be kind to new gym goers! My new routine for this year is reflective of how my resolutions in the past haven't always prioritized happiness so much as maximizing my time in favor for productivity. I also got a new reading lamp because I'm making the transition back to physical books instead of digital ones. But if you are interested in digital copies or physical, learn more abo...
Today is a special episode because not only is it the last episode of 2025, but also the final installment of this series is OUT NOW! If you've started reading it, let me know your thoughts. You've been following along since I begun writing it, and know all about the ups and downs. Here's a little insight on how it all went down when I thought of the idea and potentially what's next.
It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age. And I was screaming, "Long Live Magic Reborn!" Mark your calendars, for real this time, because Magic Reborn is done! Dec. 30th can't come fast enough. I'm really excited for you all to read this book!!! I had the time of my life writing it.
This episode contains mentions of challenging topics related to Epstein.
Is it advisable to put my life on DnD while I try to finish this book? Or perhaps I should take a self-care night and dive into the endlessly fascinating read by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.... Or, maybe, someone will back into my fender in a parking lot. That works, too. Also, seven P.M. start time for a party? What do we think?
My second episode with the new mic and my first episode having been to therapy! I think it's a noticeable change on both fronts, so I hope you're encouraged through listening to this episode as much as I am and keep listening for more.
First podcast with the fancy new mic! Comment if you think it sounds great, or simply just keep listening ~ If you haven't already, the time to get caught up on Warriors of Magic is now since the final installment is coming end of this month. All SIX Pov's will be featured in this book and I couldn't be more excited for you all to read it.

This holiday season, I’m taking some time to check in with my mental health and overall wellness. I’m starting therapy on Thursday - gasp! - so I can stay centered, enjoy the holiday cheer, and keep a healthy balance between my writing responsibilities and personal life. Thank you for joining me on this journey and for your continued support. 💛

Happy December! Time is flying by but it sure does feel like it. Can you maintain the integrity of your stories and still optimize your earnings as writer? Or would that be the same as writing to market? Ask me about Mar-A-Lago face, I could go on and on. Because it's actually quite an interesting inspiration for a book... How do I organize my inspirations in general, and what was the inspiring line of text for Never the Roses...
Happy Turkey Day! As the title suggests, I have some book updates for you. You all know this by now, but the work has kept me grounded amidst the craziness of the personal as of late. I'll be talking about both this episode, as well as some very exciting news about when preorders for my NEW book series will be available.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
