The first book in my series Tales of Angaride, Dance on the Sun, is available to read on Kindle Unlimited or can be purchased as a paperback through Amazon.

The next installment in the series, Before the Lotus Blooms, is set to release on March 13, 2026.

TOA Book 3 is also in development, along with a standalone modern day rom-com I’m currently referring to as Project Beaver until the title is announced. Check out my blog posts for more information on both of these projects. I’ll be sharing more info as time goes on about each, including titles and synopses. There’s a lot to look forward to in the coming year, I can’t wait to share it all with you!
