what’s happening in the pond?

Only a year.

Then Dayir will be ready to collect my soul.

A jaded gardener. An enigmatic prince. A contractual relationship that could end with them both dead.

Before the Lotus Blooms will be available for purchase on 03.13.2026.

Gael is like the Sun.

Any closer and I’m bound to get burned. 

Prepare for the release of Before the Lotus Blooms by reading the first novel in the Tales of Angaride collection, Dance on the Sun. Set in both the snowy region of Valkhan and under the balmy skies of Grianmar, Dance on the Sun promises a touching story of cultural experience and unlikely first love.

about my imprint

Fool’s Gold Press is a young, independent publishing collaborative dedicated to emboldening indie authors and creatives. In the midst of the centuries-old and highly competitive industry of traditional book publishing, FGP seeks to amplify the works and voices of indie authors that are often overlooked, underestimated, or without community. Technically established in 2023, with an official name adopted in 2025, FGP was created to give self-published books and authors a place to call home. While the only books currently published under the imprint are my own, I hope to eventually work alongside other indie authors to help bring their publishing dreams to life.
