From the June 2025 drafting journal. This is a snapshot of the series as it was taking shape.

I see every single one of your comments and I just want you to know: I appreciate the hell out of you. Right now, I’m in that wild author zone where I’m waking up at 4 a.m. with dialogue screaming in my head, going full throttle until I crash at night. I’ve got six full books mapped out: clear arcs, devastating twists, villains that will make your blood boil, and characters that will tattoo themselves onto your soul.

If I don’t reply right away, just know it’s because I’m deep in it, living and breathing this story. I’m talking about scenes that hit so hard they made me cry, shake, and then dive right back in for more. This series is everything I’ve ever wanted to write, and everything I know you all want to read. Found family. Power. Pain. Redemption. Love that claws and bleeds and heals.

So yeah. I’m not quiet because I’m gone. I’m quiet because I’m writing something that’s about to wreck you in the best possible way.
