Happy Birthday, Vale (and me 😂)

Happy November!
First off, thank you everyone for such an amazing release! Putting out my first book in a year and a half was anxiety-inducing to say the least. While I knew there were readers who wanted Vale and Aston's story, it's admittedly been really hard for me to stay motivated with writing this book...or rather, these books, at times, because I know the vast majority of my readers have been waiting very patiently (mostly lol) for a certain other book.But my worries that this book would tank because of that were clearly all for naught. Which is ...
(SFW) Vale & Aston Commissioned Art: First-Look
For your eyes only until I share publicly next week! Fun fact: this scene was one of the first I ever wrote for Vale & Aston. It originally took place the morning after the Halloween party, and was to be included in the Anti-Valentine Anthology version of this story... but it got cut because—surprise, surprise—I had gone way over my wordcount limit. 😆Fem killed it with bringing this moment to life (@femkeneriart on IG). Some scenes just really stick out and practically write themselves, you know? And this was one of them for me. I knew ...
I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add something new at the last possible second…
Right before submitting the files for publication, I realized there probably should be one last transcript alluding to future events… after all, the last one was BEFORE Halloween. It seemed only right there was one last glimpse into the future before the book ended.This is included in the published versions, but for those of you who read the ARC… here ya go.***it’s between Ch. 40 and 41.It doesn’t add anything new, per se, but it does play a role in understanding Vale/events that happen later on. That’s all imma say. 👀This happens ...
Sweet Wicked Thing: Extended Teaser Quote #3
So perhaps I did just imagine it—saw something I wanted to see, for whatever crazy reason. Felt something I only wanted to feel.A change in the air.A shift in the course of my future. A sinking knowing…A terrible wanting… An aching missing…Those eyes…Dark and fathomless. Watchful, and yet somehow blank even after all these years. Scouring the stands, the crowd, like he was searching for something.Searching for someone.I couldn’t believe it.Vale DuPont.The boy who saved me.The boy who wrecked my life.The boy I never thought I’d see...
Sweet Wicked Thing - SPOILER THREAD
I know some of you have been asking, so here's where we can chat all things Vale & Aston...for now. I'm on a superrrrr tight deadline, so I won't be able to participate much. I also don't want to risk letting in any "outside noise" that will disrupt my creative/writing process as I finish the second part of their story. But I wanted to make sure we have somewhere for just Patrons to discuss and gush and theorize what the hell is happening in this story.This will be made available to all tiers following release day. For n...
If you didn’t receive an email with the ARC download link…
All Atrium and Flock tier members subscribed prior to 7AM EST should’ve received an email with the ARC download link via BookFunnel… however it was brought to our attention that if you A.) opted to hide your email when subscribing/setting up your account, or B.) subscribed using your Apple ID, and therefore only your Apple ID is displayed and not a “working” email… then you wouldn’t have received an email.While Patreon posts are auto-sent to the primary email linked with that… when sending arcs, I use BookFunnel because it is the ...
Patron ARCs of Sweet Wicked Thing have been sent!
ICYMI, one of the perks to subscribing to the Atrium and Flock tiers is access to ARCs of all my new releases. A download link via Bookfunel has been sent to the email you subscribe to my Patreon with.Due to the Amazon Web Services outage, there may still be delays in sending the file to your Kindle Library. It's now working for me, so hopefully that means it's been resolved. I did have to re-send it; it didn't just sync over when it started working again...so if for some reason you're still running into issues, wait a bit, and ...
Sweet Wicked Thing: Extended Teaser Quote #2
“You’re a sweet little thing, aren’t you?” He says the words so quietly, I can’t even be sure they’re for me. “Sweet under all that filth.”“Vale,” I whine into the bedding.“Mmm, like sugar,” he murmurs, sucking a bruise just below my ear. His fingers clench around mine, grinding my bones together. “Sweet and tempting but will rot you from the inside out.” I shake my head. “N-no, I’ll b-be g-good. So good, so, so good for you, please,” I babble.“That so? You think someone like you can be good enough for me?”...
WTAW Deleted Scene: Will’s First Night on the Job
Today marks four years since I published my debut, Where There's A Will. I spent the day deep in final edits of my 6th full-length novel, Sweet Wicked Thing. And now, finally, it's time for my favorite part: the final read-through, where I load it up on Kindle, all formatted and ready to be devoured, instead of picked apart to death. After a year and a half, it's such a fucking relief to finally be at this point. I'm nervous, but excited too. And there's no other way I'd rather be celebrating my publiversary.Originally,...
Sweet Wicked Thing: Teaser Quote #1
...by the time I got my hands on him, he was nothing but a crying, breathless, panicked mess, mumbling nonsense to himself. Clearly on the verge of spiraling into what I assume would’ve been one those volatile blackouts Quentin mentioned weeks ago.Something I’ve been so, so curious to witness for myself.Who does he become—what does he become—when that wall hiding all the secrets he keeps from himself comes down?Who is Aston when he isn’t wearing his armor of lies? ..Just over two weeks until Vale and Aston are reintroduced to the worl...
October's Secretum: the first 3000 words (approx.) of EBA2
My face when I saw the poll results:Real talk, though: I wouldn't have made this an option if I didn't know it would win. So you won't find me complaining. It makes this month's Secretum easy, and gives me more time to prep for the runner-up.Sometime in November, you can expect to receive my version of a The Making of: Sweet Wicked Thing aka a deep-dive into my process (prepare for a whole lot of rambling vs an actual step-by-step "process"; if it was easy and straight forward, it wouldn’t have taken this long to relea...

SWT - Chapter 2
ASTONTraffic congesting the interchange doubles what is normally only a half-hour commute for Tillie, and by the time we reach the old mining town of Crowley, heavy rain clouds have gathered across the horizon, blotting out the sun, making it feel a lot later than it actually is.Trees blur past, broken up only by dilapidated barns and service structures. The further away from the highway we get, the more open it becomes. Cornfields stretching as far as the eye can see. Radio towers and steel stacks reaching for the sky like skeletal arms thrust...

Hey all! Figured I’d just throw all this into one post.Hope you enjoyed that little EBA snippet I dropped yesterday (belatedly, because I thought it was scheduled for Monday morning and it was not 😅). New Storefront Now LiveAs some of you know, my website has been down since last week… I’ve been in contact with IT thrice now, told it was fixed each time, and yet…nothing. Good news though… I did successfully move my store over to a new more user-friendly platform, PayHip. It was when I was trying to integrate it with my domain that ...
Every Breath After: Part 2 - WIP Snippet
If there's one thing I learned while being on the road, bouncing from city to city, and performing for huge crowds of people expecting to get their money's worth...It's how to suck it the fuck up and keep playing.Even when I'm nauseous.Even when my stomach's cramping.Even when it feels like someone's just reached inside my chest and crushed my heart in their grip.You. Keep. Fucking. Playing.

Welcome to my playground, old friends and new. 😈
Long at last, here we are! After a year spent overthinking everything, worrying I won’t be able to deliver on what’s promised, feeling like I don’t have anything to offer worthwhile short of a new book...

We’ve been at sea for days, with nothing but the ocean a...
