Frequently Asked Questions
Books are political.
They just are. Who writes them, who reads them, what gets published...it's all political. In Romance, who gets that HEA is political. Even if a book never once mentions anything that could be considered a political topic—that in and of itself is political. If books weren't political, they wouldn't want to ban them.

Anyway, f*ck f*scism.
Will any of your books be available in audio?
I would love to see all my books in audio! However, at this time, I can't afford it, therefore I'd need to get an audio deal through my agent—something that's only possible if my books do well. You can help by leaving reviews on retail sites and places like GoodReads and StoryGraph, and by recommending these books!
​
I will never use AI to produce an audiobook, or in any other part of my books or marketing.
What about Kindle Unlimited?
Over the Top Love series is in KU!! My Summer Love series will publish wide first, but after all the books have been out for a few months, I'll put that series in KU, too. The only books that won't ever be in KU are the freebies available to newsletter subscribers.
Do you use AI?
NO. I don't use it during any part of my process, from brainstorming to outlining to writing to editing. I don't use it for my covers or my marketing or for character art. Generative AI steals from other creatives and regurgitates it into something else, and not only is that ethicly wrong, it's environmentally irresponsible. A single AI prompt can use the equivalent of a bottle of water to cool the servers, and I'm not okay with that.
How do I get one of your free novellas?
Subscribe to my newsletter, and when I release a freebie novella, I'll send out a bookfunnel link where you can download the ebook to read on your kindle or other device
So, the representation in your books...is it own voices?
Yes! I am a bi-sexual, demi-sexual rising, and a number (though not all) of my characters are/will be bi and/or demi. I don't always state it explicitly on page, but the clues are there.
Like Mina from Love and Other Risky Business, I suffered from debilitating periods (IUDs work for me, though, so I'm lucky). I'm also plus size like Lauren in my freebie novella The Curvy Girl's Guide.
And let's address the Timbo in the room. While I'm not interested in the work involved in pursuing a diagnosis, I am confident I have ADHD—and very likely Timothy in Love and Other Risky Business does, too. I didn't set out to write him like that, but I very early on realized that I strongly identify with him (not because of the hobbies and job, either, I am #TeamMina there). And very likely Jessie also could be diagnosed as having ADHD, but like many girls and women, she's good at masking.
What's next?
June 9th, 2025: Wet Hot Summer, book 1 in my Summer Love series, comes out!
​
Late Summer, 2025: Finger's crossed, Cruel Summer, book 2 in my Summer Love series, will be out!
​
Late 2025: Hopefully Summertime Blues, book 3 in my Summer Love series, will be out.
