Image saying Official Member, Band of Villains, with two beautiful women facing off, either to kiss or to kill each other. Or, more likely, both. One has curly claret hair, the other has flowing black hair. There may be a knife involved.
Excited to say I've joined #BandOfVillains, the street team for the upcoming horromantasy #VileLadyVillains by the brilliant @danaiwrites.bsky.social (@michaeljbooks.bsky.social & Union Sq. 2026). It's gorgeous and groundbreaking and I'm so excited to be an official team member spreading the word!

The purple cover of A HARD NOTE. Morgan is holding a red and white electric guitar. Kazio has a bar rag over his shoulder
Book blurb: 🎶 Trying to find perfect harmony from rock bottom 🎶 Morgan has hit the rockiest of bottoms. Fired from his job, with nothing to show for his life but a broken heart, a failed band, and a box full of his crap from his emptied-out desk, Morgan has to face the ugly reality of how he got to this point—he is a bad person. While drowning his sorrows, he strikes up an unlikely relationship with Kazio, a cranky bartender who has no problem asking Morgan tough questions about who he wants to be. Their friendship grows over time as Kazio helps Morgan tear down the walls he’s built up around himself and put his life back together, one piece at a time. Job hunting, volunteering, finding a new band…things are heading in the right direction, until it all comes screeching to halt…because Morgan realizes he has feelings for Kazio. This is the worst idea ever, and could lead to everything coming crashing back down. Can Morgan ignore those feelings for his best friend, or will he ruin it all again? #fallinghard #romanceseries #romcombooks #gayromance #mmromance #queerromance #friendstolovers #youtakecareofme
Cover reveal! The third book in the Falling Hard trilogy, A Hard Note, is out July 29, and I am so excited to show you Morgan and Kazio, stars of this warm & cozy musical friends-to-lovers romcom.

✨COVER REVEAL✨
I’m so excited to co-host a new podcast that talks about the not so fun parts of publishing and what we can do about it together. But who am I doing this with?! 👀

Well… this is just me holding my big 4 debut in my hand 🥹
Whenever the paperback is finally available… will you all celebrate with me like it’s actually the release day?
🥺👉👈
This romcom is out on Tuesday. I think at this point it would be wise to preorder it and book that day off so you can stay home in your pajamas feeling good 💚
I have a brand new shiny copy of my client's @kcharperauthor.bsky.social GORGEOUS debut, Shadowed Moonlight, which I would love to give to someone (preferably US based as it's living at our offices).
The important bit.
