Cover Reveal!

Hi Friends,

I haven’t sent out an update in a while because I’ve been deep in edits for my next book, INTO THE STORM.

I’m finally ready to emerge from my writing cave and announce that I have a release date, a blurb, and a cover! (Thanks to my friend Vania who designed it!)

Here it is!!

He chases tornadoes, but he only wanted to catch her…

Storm chaser Austin Jones loves an adrenaline rush. With his YouTube channel gaining popularity and an opportunity to chase tornadoes on television, he’s living the dream. When a close encounter with a twister sends him to the hospital, the last person he expects to stitch him up is his high school sweetheart. Seeing her again feels like fate.

The storm that shattered Lizzie James’s life may be long gone, but the damage was never repaired. After a tornado tore through her hometown—taking her parents and destroying everything—she swore she’d never go back. Haunted by nightmares and burdened by anxiety, she’s done her best to forget that day. But when her former boyfriend ends up in her ER, the memories she buried come rushing back.

Despite every instinct telling her to stay away, Lizzie finds herself back in Texas—where Austin is eager to remind her of what they once had. But his reckless devotion to storm chasing is a risk she cannot ignore. Determined to control the situation—and maybe protect Austin from himself—Lizzie makes a bold choice. She’ll face her fears, literally, and join Austin for the chase. If she can’t stop him from risking his life, at least she can help keep him safe.

As another violent tornado threatens the region, Lizzie has a sinking feeling that Austin is about to make a dangerous call. This time, the real storm is the one inside Austin—torn between chasing the next tornado and holding on to the woman he loves. Because some storms you chase…and others you have to weather together to find out what really matters.

Website Changes! Hey everyone, Just a quick note to let you know I'll be moving my website over to my Payhip shop in the next few weeks! Hopefully I will not have too many disruptions or downtime, but with the rising costs of my WIX website (and everything else), I found that a change was necessary. Payhip is an e-commerce platform that allows creators to sell their digital products directly to their fans.
