Let's start out easy. Where are you from?
Delaware

Mom of 2
Dogs or Cats?
Dog
Do you have any pets?
I have a household of pets! Two dogs, two cats, two bearded dragons, a frog and a hermit crab. The dog in my book Revenge Next Door is actually based off of my dog Sofi and I published it on her birthday.
Coffee or Tea or something else?
I enjoy both. Coffee has to be cold and chocolately while I enjoy my tea hot and citrusy.

Cheesy Garlic Bread
You've probably answered this a million times but share with us... what is your overall favorite book?
Blood and Ash
What book introduced you to the world of smut?
If it was 50 shades - tell us the second book that introduced you to smut lol
A Courtesan's Guide to Getting Your Man - Celeste Bradley
If you could land in a fictional world, which would it be and why would you choose it?
My favorite fictional world is actually from a video game rather than a book. My husband and I play Final Fantasy 14 together and I think that would be my choice. I can collect a ton of minions, I can ride a chocobo, I can travel between worlds through a portal, and after a few quests I can learn a whole new way of fighting.
Let's get a little deeper - what is the romance book that you found yourself in?
Whether it was a 😏 moment - or something a little more emotionally stimulating share a bit about the scene
I'm going to say Tis the Season for Revenge mostly because that book made me realize I really liked praise. There is not a particular scene, just the way the MMC talked in that book.
Who is the ultimate book boyfriend?
That one fictional character that lives rent free in your head. Who is it? What book are they from?
I recently read Unveil by Greer Rivers and Orion stole the show. The man was OBSESSED and would give anything to make his woman happy.
Let's get wild - pick three characters and choose - Fuck Marry - Kill..
I'm going to marry Hans I'm going to fuck Nyktos, and kill Christian Reeves because F that book
Which FMC have you related most to?
Maybe Hallie Barrett from Love and Other Conspiracies?
Which indie author who isn't well known deserves more hype?
Which book should we start with?
I loved Once Upon and Apocalypse by Caitriona Drexler
For my audiobook besties
Which narrators are your immediate must listens - no matter the content
Davina Porter does Outlander, and she is outstanding and Eric Nolan in Leather and Lark was amazing!
Who is your author crush?
Jennifer Armentrout and Brynne Weaver
What is your favorite book you've written?
Revenge in Heels. I loved the banter, I loved how the characters interacted, and I totally stepped out of my comfort zone while writing it.
What book of yours do you wish more people would read?
Revenge Next Door. It is the first book in my mafia duet and I think it is spicy and a lot of fun to read. I would love for more people to pick it up and give it a try.
What are you working on now? Any info you can share? When will it be available? Give us all the tea!
I am currently working on a fun short story for an anthology being sold at Tales as Dark as Time in 2026. It has some spicy Hallmark vibes to it and I got the idea after seeing some of the thirst trap bakers online.
