I love creating characters like this. They always catch me off guard. Right when you think they’ve been tamed, they pull out that inner psycho and burn the world down for fun.
I can’t wait for readers to meet him!

I’m deep in edits for Fire & Magic, and I’d forgotten just how psychotic, arrogant, petty, and deliciously sexy the dragon shifter is in this story.

My son just discovered that people used to pass out at Michael Jackson concerts. 😆
He watched one clip and said, “So bro just stood there…and half the stadium fainted?? What kinda superpower is THAT?” 😂

Normalize unfollowing and unsubscribing from people who no longer meet your expectations.
You don’t need a dramatic exit speech or a smear campaign on social media.
Just click, close, and carry on.

My goal is to narrate my own books. I’m still wading my way through this process and learning a ton as I go. Every step’s a new lesson, but I’m convinced the right app will make this whole journey smoother. 🎙️✨

Just boarded my flight to Japan, and seeing so many Black folks on the plane just makes me smile. ✈️🤎😁

I’m so glad I've reached the point in my life where protecting my peace is non-negotiable. ✨

I was scrolling Threads and saw a wild number of posts about people being walked out of their jobs over something they posted online about recent events. Just a reminder, if we can see it, so can your employer. Stay smart and stay safe, folks. #fyp

My braider told me NOT to use mousse because it’ll mess the style up over time. 😅 But I’ve seen so many videos where women with Boho braids swear by mousse! For those rocking Boho braids, what’s your go-to method for keeping them detangled? #braidstyles

Finally got my boho braids and sis got me looking like a mermaid. #fyp #bohobraids

Writing a super steamy love scene while my braider is peeking over my shoulder was the highlight of my day. 😅 #booksky

Today’s vibe: roll up, anime marathon, and forget responsibilities.
Reality’s vibe: these books are sitting here, giving me side-eye. 😅✍🏾
UGH, deadlines. #booksky

That’s intentional. He is trolling the orange one with his own verbiage. That doesn’t mean he’s like the orange one.

Finally got Jinx all set up, and I’m in love. 💜 Filmed a little video while putting her together. I’ll post it tomorrow.

Spent the entire day packing book boxes and filling orders. I thought it’d only take a couple of hours… but then I decided to add a handwritten note to each one. Now my orders are full of love, and my hand is full of regret. 😫✍🏽📦

I try not to lean too heavily on dictating, but it makes life so much easier. And since I’m juggling 3 books right now, I need all the “easy” I can get. But I’m feeling a little lazy taking this route. 😅 And yes, I dictated this message. #booksky #authorlife

He already had a feeling that she was powerful, but hearing how easily she could manipulate perception honestly scared him.

I reduced the heat level on this one to really focus in on the love and the choices we make to find peace. Don't misunderstand, the story is sexy and sensual.
Mae's reaction to him, the connection, the understanding, is simply...beautiful.

Only three episodes in and this show has already delivered so much entertainment! I’m all in on Riri’s journey. And don’t even get me started on Natalie AI. I’m obsessed. Like, give her all the screen time, immediately. 😍

While basking in the glow of my villain era, I figured this is the perfect time to boost my Patreon and Substack.
New chapters drop weekly. Come for the magic, dragons, and chaos. Stay for the emotional damage.

Something tells me “Straw” will disrupt my peace and leave me irrationally angry. So, for the sake of my mental health, I’m choosing not to watch it.
