To cut down on the cost of international shipping for signed copies of Arsonist’s Lullaby and the rest of the River Reapers MC series, I’m working with local book stores. I need your help choosing!
Dear readers, I need your help!
In May, I ran a pre-order campaign on Kickstarter for a special edition of Arsonist’s Lullaby, and while I didn’t reach my goal, I learned a lot. One of the issues I ran into was the high cost of international shipping.
International rates are crazy high right now. To lower the cost for everyone, many small businesses who ship overseas started using distribution centers.
I’ve got two options: work with distribution centers in Canada, the UK, Mexico, and other countries my readers are from, or work with indie book stores. I’m sure you can guess which I pick! I’m setting up pre-order campaigns with indie book stores, which kinda works like a distribution center, but way cooler. I sign the books and ship them in bulk to the store, who then arranges local pickups or shipping.
Here’s where I need your help. There are so many book stores now, making this the best time to be a reader or author. It also means it’s hard for me to choose!
Please take a second and take this survey for me.
To further address the shipping issue, all editions now contain both the HFN ending and bonus non-HEA (reader’s choice depending on how dark you want it). You can now pre-order the ebook edition via most retailers. My shop launches soon with ebook, paperback, and hardcover options.
Thank you so much for your support! I can’t believe release day is less than three months away, and the cover reveal is in less than two (even sooner if you’re signed up for my newsletter). More details about that and signed copy pre-orders coming atcha in the next week or so.
Accidentally running explosives for the mafia is fun for single mom Lucy. The pay sets up her new life with her daughter, the package includes a biker with benefits, and the marks are evil men no one will miss. It’s everything she wants and more, so when Stixx says “We’re done,” she says “We’ll see.”
Hang onto your seat, handlebars, or the hot biker you’re riding—a new River Reapers MC novel is coming in hot!
Arsonist’s Lullaby
Fire, meet gasoline. 🖤🔥
Lucy knows the stroller posted for sale in her feed is too good to be true, but it can’t hurt to check it out. Just like it can’t hurt to flirt with the biker who meets her. She’s been numb since she torched her relationship with her controlling baby daddy, but when she sees both desire and vengeance mirrored in the biker’s eyes, she finally feels alive again.
Stixx is in the River Reapers MC with Lucy’s cousin, and she’s definitely not the mule who’s supposed to deliver his package. He should send her on her way, but there’s no one else and she knows too much. It can’t hurt to take her on the run, just this once. Just like it can’t hurt to hookup in a church on the way back while the distribution center they blew up burns.
Turns out Stixx and Lucy are pretty good at destroying things together, so good they turn it into a competition. In the ashes they find all their missing pieces, and what looked like destruction grows into a flame that won’t go out, even when the backdraft finally hits.
Arsonist’s Lullaby is a standalone dark romance set in the world of the River Reapers MC.
This limited edition is a signed matte case laminate hardcover and includes an alternate non-HEA ending, available exclusively from Maietta Ink.
Production Schedule
Dates are subject to change. Any delays will be communicated via my newsletter, Kickstarter updates, and social media.
This is a not a drill! After five years of illness, I’m roaring back into publishing with the Lucy/Stixx book I hoped to release after A Fatal Prospect in 2021. It’s been a bumpy ride, and I’m so grateful to you, dear readers, for hanging in there with me. This book is a few things: me getting back on track with releases after re-learning to write (thank you to my speech therapist, neurologist, and the entire pharmacy inside me); a formal apology and love letter to all the Lucy fans who begged me to bring her back somehow; my way of coping with all the horrific things evil human beings do, and my way of giving survivors our power back.
This edition includes the wide HFN ending in Lucy’s POV, plus an alternate non-HEA ending in Stixx’s POV, allowing you to choose your reading experience.
Please note that this special edition is available exclusively by pre-order. Due to a limited run, I cannot guarantee that copies will be available after the pre-order period.
U.S. orders ship media mail and should arrive 1-2 weeks before the wide release date. If you’re ordering from outside the U.S., please expect delays. Everyone who pre-orders the limited edition will receive an ebook download to ensure you can read it ahead of the wide release.

I’m so happy to be back in the River Reapers world. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my dark heart and depths of my strange brain, for your support. Now, let’s roll!
I’m so excited to show you the cover for A Touch of Gold! A few months ago, I signed a four-book deal with Kobo Originals. The team at Kobo is passionate about books, and working with them has been a dream come true. I know that’s cliche, but truly—it’s been everything I hoped it’d be, and more. I’m now able to focus more on writing (and healing, but that’s another blog post), and I already see so much growth in my craft!
I’m the type of writer who is never short on ideas, just energy, so having the team at Kobo handle all the details while I do my thing… utterly glorious. They cooked up this cover with Ukrainian designers MIBLART, incorporating flowers with illustration, and using the colors from Goldie’s tattoo shop in the book! I love the way the gold lettering pops against the rich purples and greens. Check it out!
A Touch of Gold Stagwood Falls: Love In Ink Series, Book 1
Everything Goldie touches turns to gold, so when the building that’s been in her family for generations is in trouble, her family calls on her to help save it. Moving back to her hometown and back in with her family comes with definite perks—like no more rent—and emotional baggage in the form of Goldie’s high school crush turned hottie David. When she sees him again, all those old feelings come rushing back—and are quickly dampened when she finds out he wants to tear down her building to build a “better” Main Street.
For as long as David can remember, Stagwood Falls has been a small-town summer vacation hotspot. It’s the kind of town that will charm the socks off of anyone who decides to drive through no matter the season, and it’s his job to make sure Stagwood Falls stands out on the map all year around. All he needs to do is convince the townspeople to get on board, even if it means making some sacrifices. When Goldie returns to Stagwood Falls, David is immediately drawn to her just as he was back in high school. This time around, he’ll do whatever it takes to get her attention. What David doesn’t expect is for Goldie to be so opposed to his new revitalization strategy that she’s hellbent on throwing a massive wrench in his plan.
I wanted this cover to have an “us against the world, we’re going to war” feel, since everything is about to be turned upside down for Cliff and Olivia. I’ve been working with cover designer Natasha Snow for a few years now, and one of my favorite things about working with her is how I can give her a general idea and she runs with it.
See what I mean? 😍😍😍
Our enemies of past and present are uniting to put us in our graves. Not even death would destroy our love, but death isn’t the only thing that’s fatal…
Cliff
I’ve finally got Olivia, but she can’t give me the two things I want most: three words so I know I’m not in this alone, and a family so I can redeem all the horrible things I’ve done. My past is still chasing me, and the only way I can let it go is if I stop running and face it. I can’t allow the monster in my blood to take over, but it’s rising to the surface and I can’t fight it much longer.
Olivia
After all I’ve been through, I’m never giving away my heart, even if my heart has other plans. War strikes before Cliff and I get a chance to figure it out. When a teen football player is unspeakably violated, only my club can avenge him. A rival motorcycle club from the past is also looking for revenge, just as I realize my true feelings for Cliff.
When someone betrays us, we’ll pay the ultimate price, in both blood and love…

A Disturbing Prospect
River Reapers MC, Book 1
Our violent pasts brought us together. One night entwined us forever. We’re not falling in love, we’re just hanging onto each other while everything falls apart.
After much thought, I’ve finally set a release date for A Fatal Prospect. I know a lot of you are really looking forward to this book. I know you wanted it to escape into during all of the madness that has been this year. I really wish I could give you this book right now. Publishing doesn’t work that way, though, especially not with a chronic illness.
There are many moving parts that you as a reader will likely never see: booking cover designs, editing, ARCs, promotion companies, advertising . . . The list goes on! It isn’t just me and my UCTD that I have to work around. I work with many other professionals, all of whom have other clients and their own lives to schedule around. When all was said and done, the date I chose is the very soonest I could comfortably schedule a release date, especially factoring in that shit happens and, when shit inevitably will happen, I’ll still be able to release this book on time without penalty.
(Yes, penalty—if I were to miss my release date, I could lose my Amazon pre-order privileges for a year!)
That date is . . .
Drum roll, please . . .
