When it comes to magic, secrets rule. For Mia and Derek, those secrets will destroy them.
Derek never meant to hide his powers. But after seventeen years of lies, he can’t tell Mia now. Even when the woman with red eyes tries to kill him.
Mia has secrets too. Her terrifying stalker and the glowing knife frighten her, but the new boy in school—one who knows too much about magic—pushes her to her limit.
They should rely on each other, as they always have, but with so many secrets, is there any trust left? The twins are spiraling down dark paths that might break them apart forever if their secrets haven’t already.


There have been many books that I have been excited for in my life. Very few top this.
Keilani and I met when we were in seventh grade, we were in a couple of the same classes and the same homeroom. It was our first year in junior high, and we were awkward almost teenagers, both youngest siblings, both giant nerds.
That’s right. I’m a nerd. No shame.
Back then, I was even more insecure than I am now and I didn’t see a point in finishing anything writing wise because I didn’t think I could. But when I met Keilani, she was just so into having fun with writing that it gave me confidence. We obsessed over anime together, I tried to be an artist like her and failed, and we wrote fanfiction together. She wrote her hilarious Kirby fanfiction and I wrote my depressing Gakuen Alice fanfiction. I was always jealous of her ability to craft a fun and beautiful story. She made it look so easy, and I aspired to be like her. I don’t think would be the author I am today without knowing her.
I have been hoping that she would publish one of her books at some point. Even though we’ve bounced in and out of each other’s lives because of distance and school, we have always managed to remain friends. Getting this book in the mail today has made this entire year so much better. I can’t wait to read it.
Keilani, I love you so much, and I cannot be prouder and happier. I’m so excited for this and all your future books 💜

When four teens living in a small town in Colorado accidentally unseal an immortal queen, they’re caught up in a war a million years in the making. All they want is to be safe, but their secrets, their dreams, and their magic seem to ruin any hope of happiness. If they can’t work together, then the shadow in their lives wins. But if they can’t, they might just find the peace they seek.

Not supposed to be using my arm, but it’s the times I’m not allowed to write that all I want to do IS write.
I have a very unhappy critique partner right now 😂

Somehow today has arrived! It’s been a rough month of pain and complications, but it’s here! THE CHILDREN OF DEATH edition two has arrived.
Dive into the history of the Iravata with a tale spanning millions of years, and experience the fallout of the decisions the teens made in AN IMMINENT DREAM. Everything is about to get even more complicated.
Blurb:
It all started when he asked Death to make him immortal.
Death was lonely.
And so he made a friend. Then another. And another. And another. And his friends lived happily. But like all living things, they must die.
And he must reap them.
So, he was lonely.
Until the day, many millennia having passed, a man suggested that there is another way. A way with immortals. With friends who will never die. But no one could have predicted the consequences of one immortal man.
And no one could have guessed the consequences when the Children of Death rebelled against their father.

“Someone is trying to kill me,” Derek snapped. “None of this will matter if I’m dead.”
Blair shook her head. “At the rate you’re going, it’s not some supernatural being that’s going to get you killed.”
~~~
LOTUS IN THE MOUNTAIN is on SALE until December 3rd! From $2.99 to $0.99. Get it now and dive into a world of mystery, magic, secrets, love, anger, grief, and immortals stuck in a past that doesn’t exist.
Available on Amazon now! Link is in my bio.
Blurb:
When it comes to magic, secrets rule. For Mia and Derek, those secrets will destroy them.
Empath and fledgling mage, Derek, never meant to hide his powers from his twin sister. But after seventeen years of lies, he can’t reveal them now. Even when he falls ill. Even when his dreams speak of untold horrors. Even when a mysterious woman with red eyes repeatedly tries to kill him.
He has to protect his sister from a world she isn’t part of.
Except Mia has secrets too. For instance, the blond woman stalking her and the glowing knife in a mysterious cave. Or, most exhausting of all, the new boy in school who knows a little too much about magic. She can’t involve Derek. He wouldn’t understand.
As the mystery of the red-eyed woman pushes Derek to his limits, Mia can’t trust her brother with her newfound knowledge. Both are spiraling down separate, dark paths. But those paths are more entwined than they know. If they aren’t careful, their secrets will shatter not only their relationship, but the safety and security they’ve always known. If those secrets haven’t already.
