👑 Crowned is out now!


Hi Reader!

Crowned is finally here! I can't wait to hear what you think of this book. It's been such a long road to get here, and I hope you love this next chapter in Prince Alex's and Rebecca's journey as much as I do. 💜


👑Crowned is out now!

Note: If you missed my announcement, I had to remove my books from Apple. If you preordered Crowned on Apple, follow the instructions in this post to delete your Apple preorder, and then repurchase from my store below. You'll receive instructions to add it to Apple Books and your Apple device once it releases.

A royal death no one expects. A royal crown changes hands. A royal tour that could end in tragedy.

Prince Alexander, heir to Valleria’s throne, has spent years preparing to be king. Now, as an unexpected death shifts the monarchy, it’s time for him to assume the throne. But is he ready?

Add in a heavily scrutinized royal tour to America with credible threats against him and his wife, Rebecca, the Royal Council doing everything they can to prevent his ascension to king, and a coronation becoming more complicated by the minute, and Alex wonders if he really is ready to rule.

And, as a health issue with Rebecca comes to a head, Alex is also forced to confront his ability to balance the life of a husband and king.

Come visit Valleria once again to see who takes the crown, who lives (and who doesn’t), and spend more time with Alex and Rebecca, along with all the royals.

This novel features a married royal couple balancing politics and personal challenges, a royal family that loves one another (even while they annoy each other), and a look behind fictional palace walls.

Please note: there are several CW for the book. I have them listed early in the book but I know you can't view that until the book is released. If you'd like to see them, you can view them in my store here (they may contain small spoilers).

Hi Reader! So much is happening this week! One big thing on my to-do list this week is to finalize Crowned! The next book in the Royals series (releasing in October) has come back from the last pass with an editor. So now I'm doing final revisions, and getting all the covers and ebooks and print versions ready. Fingers crossed that this time next week the book will be DONE (and then I can start sharing snippets and all the fun things). Of course, all the things are happening while I'm still...

Hi Reader! So remember last week when I said I was sick with something that wasn't the dreaded 'c' word - covid? Apparently it did turn out to be covid after all 😩. I was 'novid' for so long (no covid) and now I've gotten it for the first time. I tested negative for a long time before I finally got a positive result from the doctor, but now I'm on meds and slowly starting to feel better. So, today I'm dealing with covid, a chronic illness flareup, and a migraine, but I know healthier days are...

Hi Reader! I skipped sending a newsletter on Sunday this past weekend because I was waiting to share some news and now I can! I'm so excited to announce there is a release date for the next Royals book, Crowned, and you can pre-order it now! There is still quite a lot to do before release, but I'm far enough along in the editing process now that I feel comfortable announcing it. I'm keeping the cover and full synopsis under wraps for now, but this book focuses on Prince Alexander & Princess...
