When the enemies start lovering.

The Shield is a spice-free, YA supernatural romance about two teens destined to fight each other for the fate of the universe. They start out enemies, become friends, then grow into more. But still have to fight.

Available wherever books are sold.

Marketing and social media are not for the faint of heart. 🤣

I left out an event on my last post! I have holiday events coming up at Shelf Indulgence, Lovestruck in Seattle, and a holiday market with Baley Noal! Next year I have my first ever Emerald City Romance Writers reader/author event.

Do you think of authors as extroverts or introverts?

Authors are a mix of extroverts and introverts and so far, all the authors I've met are a mix of the two.

What gets you to leave book reviews?

I hope that this all helps my writer's block because I NEED to get a move on. 🤣 Shout out to Heather Daniel for being amazing.

Check out Hybrid Calisthenics

Since starting a few months ago, I've gotten stronger and am in less pain. I'm working hard on getting overall healthier and this has helped.

Also my shoulders are more defined, which is a nice little bonus. 🤣 I missed that from my gym rat days.

Editing is also really hard for me because I hate rereading things and you reread A LOT when editing.

The community was the best surprise on my indie publishing journey. I had no idea how this was going to change my life completely!

What's one of your earliest bookish memories?

What's a non-depressing quirk from your childhood? Mine is my Christmas spreadsheet. I track who, what family they're from, my budget, what I bought, what I actually spent, and if I wrapped it. It makes my life easier.

Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction? I love learning and I love escaping and both genres help me grow!

Do you like sad books? I don't. 🤣 I just haaaate crying so much. And I cry so easily. 🤣 #booksky #bookishquestions

I'm pretty sure I have a bit of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I'm still able to do my work and daily chores, I just want to be a vegetable when I can. It's sun lamp season.

I prefer hugs. 🤣 And yes, I do have OCD, so no need to diagnose me in the comments. 🤣

The fairy light quest is FINALLY over! 😭 I have two full sets of the correct style in the correct color, which is what I needed. 😭

If more come in stock, I'm buying them. 🤣 #authorsky

Lovestruck in Seattle snapped this picture of me on Sunday and I love being surrounded by all the pink and my book. 🩷💙
