I have some exciting news to share!
I JUST FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT O F MY GOTHIC ROMANTASY!
Words can not describe how excited I am to be this much closer to sharing this story with the world. I could be biased, but I think it's my most delicious novel yet.
A haunted bride.
A cursed lord.
An arranged marriage built upon death and lies.
And that's just the beginning! Think: a decaying estate perched on windswept cliffs, a nightmare horse born from grief, forbidden lust and yearning, castle walls that remember every sin committed within them.
This screenshot from the new Wuthering Heights movie sums it up nicely:

There is still much to revise, but I can already tell, you are going to love this book.
Welcome to the Ash & Ink Society
I also want to share something new with you, something I've been quietly building behind the scenes:
I've officially launched a Patreon!
For a long time, I've wanted to build a Patreon page—it seems like a great place for me to be able to share some of my messier processes with readers who want to see them. I just wasn't sure I was ready because, at the time, I didn't know what I would share.
Now, I do.
Introducing: the Ash & Ink Society.
Think of this space as a messy study in a dusty old castle at dusk: nearly-burned down cndles all over the place, coffee rings on the desk, research books left open, half-edited pages stacked in uneen piles. A quieter, more intimate space where I can share the revisions, research rabbit holes, character evolutions, and the moments when a story suddenly transforms into something deeper.
Right now, there's only one simple $5 tier. I wanted to start small and intentional, so it's easy to step into that space with me. As it grows, I may expand, but for now this feels like the right place to start.
Enter the dusty bookshelves with me here: Join the Ash & Ink Society.
Until next time, happy reading!
