Hello and happy Friday!
It’s been a minute. lol. I kind of fell off my routine that last few weeks with distractions and shiny things. Plus I’m finishing up some client work before I head to the writing cave for a month or so. So that kind of sounded like I was going MIA. But I’m not I’ll still be active on social media (I plan to be more active going forward) and the Substack post will go back to once a weeks. Being in my writing cave means I don’t work on anything but the book I’m writing. It’s a way for me to stay focused and stick to a work schedule.
The format for my Substack posts will be changing. Each month I’ll do a giveaways, so be on the look out for more info on that. I’ll also be doing more blog-like posts. The post will be on the personal side. I’ll talk about how I got started with writing and publishing, my struggles with depression, anxiety, and officially being diagnosed with ADHD. There may be some witchy spiritual things (opening my intuition and learning to trust it, crystals, and much more) too because it is part of my healing journey.
Another thing I want to do is a Ask me anything section on the Substacks. So, send me your questions and I’ll answer them.
Happy reading!
Love and Light.

Check Out The Shifters of Stock Creek!
Welcome to Stock Creek, a charming, tight-knit mountain town where human secrets and ancient shifter dynamics collide. Tucked away in the rugged peaks, this seemingly quiet haven serves as a sanctuary for those running from their pasts—and a waking ground for powerful, protective dragon shifters emerging from a decade-long hibernation.
Bound by the unyielding laws of fate, these fiercely possessive alphas will tear the world apart to protect what is theirs. From explosive slow-burns to forbidden desires, hidden family secrets, and angsty second chances, the Dragons of Stock Creek series delivers high-stakes romance, found-family dynamics, and a love that burns hotter than dragon fire.
She ran to a quiet mountain town to disappear. She never expected to be found by a dragon.
Erin
I was careful. I changed my name, bought a charming inn, and buried my past so deep no one could find me. Until I was kidnapped and dragged into the mountains to die. I thought I was hallucinating when a massive black dragon ripped my captor apart, but the truth is worse and better than any nightmare. He’s real. He’s powerful. And for some reason I don’t understand, he says I belong to him. I don’t need a monster to save me, but I might not survive without him.
Ashton
I was supposed to sleep for another decade, until her fear woke something ancient and savage inside me. The moment I scented her, I knew. Mate. Human. Fragile. Mine. I burned the threat from her world, but claiming her heart will be harder than spilling blood. She fears what I am, and she should. I’m a dragon who doesn’t share, doesn’t let go, and will destroy anyone who tries to take what fate has bound to me.
She wanted safety. He wants forever.
Start My Dragon Savior now and fall into a satisfying, fated-mates romance where survival means surrender, and love burns hotter than dragon fire.

Nathan
I never expected a fleeting memory from my childhood to stir such a storm within me. But Gavin's little sister Rissa is back, and she's grown into a woman who ignites a fire I thought long extinguished. She’s my best friend’s much younger sister—off-limits, forbidden. And I have sworn off love to carry the heavy weight of loss and the responsibilities of single fatherhood. Yet, Rissa’s presence challenges all my resolutions and fate seems determined to mock my resolve.
Behind her gentle smile and bright eyes lies a strength born of overcoming her own tragedies. Her laughter echoes through my thoughts, her touch branding my soul. We steal moments in the shadows to dance on the edge of something inevitable, something neither of us wants to admit. She’s my fated mate, a bond written in the stars that we both deny.
Rissa
Returning to Stock Creek was meant to be a fresh start, a chance to heal the wounds of my past. Little did I know that it would also awaken a deeply buried longing. Nathan has been my brother's best friend for as long as I can remember, but I was just a child when I saw him last. Now, he's a pillar of strength, a ruggedly handsome man with a heart burdened by unspeakable tragedy.
With the shadows of my past forever haunting me, I shouldn't want anyone. Especially not my older brother's best friend. But the more we resist the undeniable chemistry that crackles between us like wildfire, the stronger the pull of our fated bond becomes. His tender moments with his daughter and his protectiveness of me chip away at my resolve until we're hiding our forbidden affair. In a town where everyone knows everyone else's business, we tiptoe around the truth of our connection, pretending that our hearts aren't entwined by destiny. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and ours threatens to unravel everything we've built.
Boss. Employee. Fated Mate. Secret Baby.
Stock Creek might not survive the storm brewing between them.
Ten years ago, Krystal had a very drunk, very unforgettable one-night stand. Unforgettable except she can't remember what he looked like. Six weeks later, she found out she was pregnant—with no way to track down the mystery man. With no choice but to move home and raise her son alone, she’s built a quiet life for them in Stock Creek, working at the local bar.
But one-night-stands don’t just disappear forever, not when they're dragons—they hibernate.
Zaden never expected to wake up from his ten-year sleep to find his life turned upside down. He returns to his bar, ready to reclaim his world, only to come face-to-face with a woman who should remember him—but doesn’t. The gorgeous, stubborn wolf shifter working for him has no clue she’s the reason he hasn’t been able to shake the memory of one wild night before his hibernation.
Then he meets Bryce.
One look at the nine-year-old boy, and Zaden knows the truth. The son he never knew he had. The mate who doesn’t remember him.
When the truth explodes, tempers flare, claws come out, and secrets unravel.

He broke her heart in an attempt to save her, and she never forgave him.
Frankie:
I knew about the dragon hibernation. I knew he’d be gone for ten years, and I was willing to wait. He was worth it, but Chance didn’t give me that choice. Instead, he tore me apart with a few well-chosen words. After all this time, I never moved on. Never forgot. Never healed. Now he’s back, looking at me like I’m still his. Too bad he destroyed any chance of that the night he walked away.
Chance:
I thought I was doing the right thing. Ten years is a lifetime for a human. She deserved more than waiting on a man who might never come back. So I lied. I hurt her in the worst way I knew how, just to make sure she’d let me go. I told myself she’d move on, that she’d forget me. She didn’t, and now I have to live with what I did. Every broken piece of her, every ounce of pain in her eyes is all my fault. I don’t deserve a second chance, but that won’t stop me from trying to earn one.
