What I’m Working On
Stories are always unfolding behind the scenes. From dark romance to fantasy worlds with a sharper edge, this is where I share what I’m currently writing, revising, and dreaming up next. I’m usually somewhere between drafting chaos, emotional ruin, and pretending I’m totally in control of the next book.😂🖤😈

Veins of Ember and Shadows
Dark Romance / Fantasy
I’m currently working on Veins of Ember and Shadow, a dark fantasy romance full of dangerous bonds, hidden worlds, and shadowed magic. It’s an emotional, atmospheric story with slow-burn tension, high stakes, and characters who are pulled toward a fate bigger than themselves. Moody, intimate, and threaded with danger, this is a project very close to my heart.
Praise & Ruin Trilogy (Upcoming Dark Fantasy Romance Series)
Dark Fantasy Romance
The Praise & Ruin trilogy is a dark fantasy romance series that explores the line between salvation and destruction, devotion and obsession, and what happens when the things we fear most are the only ones willing to stand beside us.
Book One, Bad Azi, follows Rhea Wilde, a livestreamer whose life is shattered after a terrifying encounter with a secretive cult. Rescued by a dangerous demon with a reputation as dark as the underworld itself, Rhea finds herself caught in a world of ancient powers, hidden wars, and impossible choices. As their connection deepens, both discover that trust can be more terrifying than any monster.
Filled with morally gray characters, supernatural intrigue, slow-burn tension, and high-stakes romance, Praise & Ruin is perfect for readers who love dark fantasy worlds, dangerous devotion, and heroes who are just as likely to ruin you as they are to save you.
