She came to escape her toxic ex and start over.

Review of Unintended
Blurb: He’s too young. She’s too damaged. But since when has love played by the rules? Evie From the outside, it looks like I’ve got my life together. A place to live and a successful business sure can hide a lot, namely the scars that remain from everything I’ve lost. The truth? I’m a shattered heart bundled up in a walking shell of anxiety. Until him. Ash Abuse comes in many forms, but who would believe me if I told them I was suffering at the hands of the woman I love? I k

Thinking On My Next Projects
Image source from Unsplash That image is frighteningly accurate. I sometimes lay there with a notebook on my face and let myself think. Maybe the scent of ink and paper helps? My carpet doesn't look nearly as plush though. I'm finishing off a romance book for my pen name (Alora James) that I wanted done two months ago. I dragged my feet because the story was already done in my head and I was ready for something new. This is why I'm a pantser. I need the novelty and the surpri

Review of Nine Goblins
Blurb: No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure. But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind ene
