All of my books are standalones and can be read in any order.

Yes. I write capital-R Romances and it is my promise to my readers that my stories will always conclude with a HEA/HFN.

My books contain strong language and explicit sexual content and are intended for adult readers.

As someone with an anxiety disorder often affected by my media consumption, it’s important to me to give readers a heads up about what they might encounter in my stories so they can choose if it’s the right book for them. This is provided at the beginning of each print, audio, and e-book but I know that knowing what’s up before purchasing is also important so they’re also on Goodreads and here:
– Mrs. Nash’s Ashes includes instances of, discussions about, and references to ableist language; the objectification of women and girls; death, including parental death (in the past, off-page); grief; historical homophobia; and toxic relationships
– Happy Medium involves a relative living with dementia
– Finders Keepers has a main character who lives with generalized anxiety and depression, references to a parents’ workplace accident and subsequent injury and medical debt (in the past, off-page), and separation/divorce (of parents, in the past)
– Wild Goose Chase centers around a taxidermy bird and includes discussions of the historical scientific practice of specimen collection (i.e. killing living creatures to either study or display them for research/educational purposes), as well as grief surrounding the death of a mentor/father-figure (in the past, off-page).
If any of these might be sensitive topics for you, please read with care.

^{Please note this should not be considered a formal bibliography of resources I’ve consulted while writing. Also, while I am often inspired by history and have training as a historian, I write fiction and do not make any assertions about the depictions in any of my novels being historically accurate.}

Things that are currently secret 😉

Signed and personalized copies of all of my books are always available through my local indie bookstore, Curious Iguana. They can be picked up in store or shipped to you directly (U.S. only). Just make sure to put any personalization requests (e.g. the name to make it out to, quotes or doodles you’d like me to include, etc.) in the order notes field at checkout, or I will default to signature only. (Please note that turnaround times on these can vary, so if you need copies by a certain date it’s best to plan ahead as much as possible!)

I love chatting with book clubs as my schedule allows! Please reach out through my contact form and provide as much detail as possible (i.e. which book your club is reading, proposed days/times, virtual or in-person, estimated attendance) and I’ll get back to you shortly.

Your best bet is to go through Netgalley (influencers/journalists/publishing professionals) or Edelweiss (booksellers/librarians), but you can also send an email to berkley@penguinrandomhouse.com if you would like to shoot your shot that way. My publisher (very smartly) does not trust me to distribute my own ARCs, so while I am flattered when folks ask me directly for one, I am sadly unable to accommodate those requests, even if bribed.

Unfortunately I’m not able to provide individualized advice to folks on this topic (nor am I probably the best person to ask!). Instead, I recommend checking out this helpful guide from Jane Friedman and Before and After the Book Deal by Courtney Maum to learn more about the process.

I tend to get distracted reading awesome books instead of, you know, doing my own work or remembering I have a family and therefore have to be selective in what I agree to take a look at and, even then, still often am unable to read in time. That being said, I’m technically open to requests, so feel free to ask (preferably via my agent or editor).
