Happy May! If you haven’t already done so, early ARC signups are OPEN for Death and Her Bond! If gothic fantasy isn’t your thing, please share the signup to anyone you believe may be interested. If you have signed up, you have been accepted! (as long as you promised not to pirate the book lol). I’ll send out official acceptance emails closer to the book’s release in the fall.
UPCOMING EVENTS 2026
I have a few events at the end of 2026 if you are in the Arizona area. These next events will have a NEW RELEASE from me! Hard to believe, isn’t it? I’ll have copies of my witchy novella, The Mechanics of Broomstick Racing (it’s Cars meets Kiki’s Delivery Service). I also hope to have Death and Her Bond at Snowed In.
| *Desert Lit | Phoenix, AZ | August 29 |
| *Fairytale After Dark: Bookish Night Market | Goodyear, AZ | September 19 |
| *Tea and Tropes Snowed In | Mesa, AZ | December 4th & 5th, 2026 |
I know you want to know more about The Mechanics of Broomstick Racing, but it’s part of a multi-author interconnected standalone series so I don’t get to choose when I share the cover and all that. I DO have some character art you can have a SMALL PEEK at!
That’s all you get!
Every month I share book art from another indie author! This month is EXTRA special as Adrienne Renick does her own art! An artist and an author, I don’t know how she finds the time. I loved Rift Bringer. It made me think of Control (video game) and Agents of Shield.
THE RIFT BRINGER SAGA
Liana Avila’s telekinetic powers aren’t natural. Just like every other anomaly created with alien DNA, they’re derived from Earth’s alien inhabitants, which means the government organization, EVOS, keeps a watchful eye on her.
Being branded as an anomaly is one thing. Being at the bottom of the food chain is another, and working for the underground rebellion known as Terminus is the only option for anomalies ready to fight for a spot at the top.
But Terminus is cutthroat, and EVOS has eyes everywhere. With a few small slip ups, Liana is suddenly under the scrutiny of Terminus’s menacing leader and an irritating EVOS agent, and she’s got nowhere left to hide.
Unrest is stirring. The anomalies want justice. And it’s only a matter of time before Liana makes another mistake, compromising the faulty lines between factions and digging herself to a new low.

About the Book
Birdie Hamilton’s life is a mess. She’s working a dead-end job, is about to be evicted from her apartment, and can’t seem to escape the looming holiday season, no matter how hard she tries. So when a chance encounter leads to her competing for the heart and hand of the Crown Prince of Wexstone, surely things are starting to look up. She just has to embrace the adventure, be herself, and definitely not fall for the prince’s grumpy best friend.
Knox Henderson has spent his life in the shadow of his best friend, Prince Oliver of Wexstone—not that he minds. Knox is happy to support him and ensure the future of the throne, even if it means endorsing the ridiculous competition to find Oliver a wife before his coronation. There’s just one problem: He can’t stop thinking about Birdie Hamilton, one of Oliver’s suitors.
When physical sparks fly and emotional connections are forged, Birdie and Knox must confront their past traumas and embark on a journey of self-healing to embrace the love they both deserve.
