What I'm Writing

I now have 9 series available on Kindle Vella!! I'm so excited to finally have all of the series started that I wish to write. Each series will have at least one new episode added each week, hopefully more. Then, as each story comes to a conclusion, I will collect the episodes and publish them as a completed novel. Then the next story in the series will begin. As of right now, I have five completed novels available on Kindle Unlimited and in Kindle and paperback formats. Please visit my website for more information.

These novels are available as completed series on Kindle Vella as well along with the next story in the series. Descriptions of each series are listed below as well as links to all of the content. Please enjoy!
