Advance Reader applications are officially open for The Endless Dark — a dark fantasy romance set in a dying world haunted by monsters, cursed magic, ancient gods, and love that survived the Shattering. If you love: 🖤 second-chance romance 🖤 dark fantasy with high stakes 🖤 morally gray characters 🖤 monstrous creatures and cursed kingdoms 🖤 broken bonds and tragic love 🖤 ancient magic and world-ending secrets 🖤 emotional slow-burn romance woven into an epic fantasy plot …then this story may be for you. About The Endless Dark Six years ago, the Shattering destroyed the world.

Now she lives in hiding with her son, Sevryn, whose unstable magic is beginning to unravel into something catastrophic.

Writing & Drawing Update

  Writing & Drawing Update ✨🖤 Somehow between working full-time, wrangling kids, and chasing dogs who believe they’re faster than the speed of light 🐕💨… I am making progress! 📚 Edits: I’ve officially hit the halfway point on The Endless Dark ! 🎉 Progress is slow (see above chaos), but steady. Every stolen pocket of time—early mornings, late nights, and coffee-fueled weekends—gets me one step closer to a story I can’t wait to share with you. 🎨 Art: To celebrate, I’ve been sketching some of the characters, and now Rhordan, Vesna, Amara, and Keris (the Endless of Darkness) have faces on paper! It’s been a blast bringing them to life visually, even if they sometimes refuse to sit still in my imagination long enough for me to draw them. ✨ The Chaos Factor: Writing while parenting + working + dog-chasing = not for the faint of heart.

Almost There: A Peek Behind the Edits of The Endless Dark

Image
The final stretch is always the most intense—and the most thrilling. I’m almost done with the last round of edits for The Endless Dark , and I have to admit: it feels like standing at the edge of the cliff in my own story, staring down into the abyss, heart racing. Every revision has been about making the story sharper, the stakes higher, and the emotions—fear, grief, love—resonate more deeply. I’ve been combing through each scene, polishing dialogue, adjusting pacing, and making sure the world itself feels alive: the icy caverns, the storm-lashed cliffs, the pulse of magic beneath the surface. Soon, it will be ready for my incredible beta readers to step into this world. I can’t wait to see how they react to the darkness, the monsters, and the choices the characters must make. The tension, the peril, the fleeting moments of hope—it’s all there, refined and ready to breathe. This stage always feels like a quiet before the storm, a moment of holding my breath before I release the sto...
