A Beautiful Carnage Update

This book has been my first attempt at not immediately publishing something after I’ve written it. I know a lot of authors plan their release schedules months (and years) in advance, but I don’t really operate that way. Maybe someday I will, but I’m usually more fly by the seat of my pants as a writer when it comes to what I’m writing and releasing and when.

This time around, I also hired a developmental editor. I’ve always been pretty insecure about my stories and the way they play out, so I finally took the leap and hired someone to help me make sure the story was going where I wanted it to and would be satisfying for the readers (Tori over at Cruel Ink Editing, in case you were wondering).

That really helped because she pointed out some places that needed to be fleshed out, questions that needed answers (although there will still be some that carry over into the later books in the series, but that’s intentional whereas these weren’t), and places where more info was needed about a character. (And this is after I wrote a solid 10,000 words about each of the main characters before I even started because I have a compulsive need to know ALL THE THINGS about my characters before I start writing them).

Once all the revisions were made, the manuscript went off to copy and line editing and finally to the formatter. This is the first time I’ve used a professional to format my ebook and paperback and HO-LY SHITBALLS. I’m never going back to doing it myself again.

Dee from Black Widow Designs totally killed it. I mean, just LOOK:

As of now, Beautiful Carnage will release October 11, so not much longer to wait and in the meantime, I’m almost halfway through writing the sequel. You can check it out over on my Patreon.

New Series Announcement

Savage Society of Emerald Hills is a dark (my darkest yet) series full of forbidden stories. Think father's best friend, step brother, priests, etc. It’s set in Emerald Hills, the fictional town located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains (in the Pacific Northwest), and it takes place roughly five years before my upcoming series Riot Boys of Emerald Hills Prep.

The series kicks off with Cole and Fallon, a father's best friend, age-gap (obv) forbidden romance. If breeding is your kink, you're really going to love this one, too!

I’m currently writing it, but if you want a sneak peek, you can read it here.

I’m doing a few things different with this series. For one, I’m not planning the entire thing out before I go. I’m letting my creativity take me where it wants to. The chapters are going to be much shorter than my usuals, but there will be more of them, so the book lengths should be relatively the same.

But the coolest new thing I’m doing is posting each chapter as I write them over on Patreon. If you read chapter one and can’t wait to read more, I’m posting new chapters daily over there so you’ll want to sign up.

Please keep in mind that with editing and rewrites, the story is subject to change before it's published, and once it goes live on Amazon, it will be taken down.

I’m really excited for this one and can’t wait for you to read it!
