The Centaur Charge is now on #preorder! For everyone eagerly waiting for the completion of this duology, it comes out July 5th! As humans hunt centaurs and more centaurs turn to kidnapping, Bree and Dale must find a way to take charge. amazon.com/dp/B0D7T39VYY #Romantasy #books

One of the main ideas I had as I started working on Cousin Curse is that the swans should be realistic. They're aggressive. They're noisy. They stink and leave droppings everywhere. #FairytaleDay #SixSwans #YAFantasy #BooksWorthReading amazon.com/dp/B0DS1JS1LK

Current plans for the Spectra Cown Tales (fairytale retellings) Finished: Beauty and the Beast Sleeping Beauty 12 Dancing Princesses Little Mermaid Seven Simons Coming soon: Six Swans Up Next: Cinderella/Aladdin (prequel) King Thrushbeard Snow White amazon.com/dp/B09X3XKWGP

Fellow author here , huge congratulations on completing the Centaur Chase duology! 🎉 The premise of humans and centaurs navigating grief and healing together is powerful and fresh. Wishing you all the best with your book launch and many eager readers ahead!

I need to name my Cinderella character (YA fantasy inspired by 1800 USA). I've been using Cindy, but I feel like maybe that's too obvious. The goal is something that reminds you of Cinderella without being completely obvious. Any ideas? #WritingCommunity #WritersLift

99 cents for #IndieApril: Dreamroving is illegal, but Indra has lived inside dreams since childhood. Joining others would tether her to reality, but she'd finally find a family—if they survive. amazon.com/dp/B08H7DQC1Q #FantasyBooks #FoundFamily

99 cents for #IndieApril: A messenger in a revolution and a healer from a secret race must unite their people before the empire subjugates them both. Inspired by Beauty and the Beast and the American Revolutionary War amazon.com/dp/B09X3NQ8J7 #FairytaleRetelling #YAFantasy

May I suggest my fantasy books for #IndieApril? All in the same epic world. TheSpectraBooks.com/books Meet: an exiled princess uniting six kingdoms, a girl who talks to griffins, fairytale retellings, centaurs, and a found family who travels through dreams. #FantasyIndiesApril

If you want to send a message to amazon while not hurting indie authors, I suggest a kindle unlimited subscription for only one month. Better with a free trial month. Authors get roughly half a cent per page read, so turn enough pages and you'll make up the cost. #Boycott #Books

Who remembers the Disney version of Paul Bunyan? One of my favorites as a kid. The love interest in this retelling is a gentle version of Paul, complete with ax, and the main character is an ox-shifter. amazon.com/dp/B0DS1JS1LK #YAFantasy #PaulBunyan #BooksWorthReading

Today is #FairytaleDay, but you'll have to wait for tomorrow for The Cousin Curse! That's okay, I'm sure it'll take you at least a day to read the first 5 in the series! Book one is just 99 cents, retelling Beauty & the Beast and the American Revolution. amazon.com/kindle-vella/s…

In The Cousin Curse, Viola tries to dress up the swans, but only two cooperate. She gave one a bow tie and the other a brown scarf. If you were going to dress up a swan, what would he be wearing? Pictures welcome! #YAFantasy #Fantasybooks #TheSpectraCrownTales

"The Centaur Chase" is a romantasy book, the first half of a duology, on amazon now! No spice, but lots of morally gray characters. #romantasybooks #romantasyreads #romantasybookrecs #fantasyromancebooks #NoSpiceBooks

Apparently, it's in bad taste these days for the beloved pet to die. Tiny the dog dies in the first book of DreamRovers. But I'm an indie author, which means I can easily make changes. Now, if you read the ebook version of DreamRovers 1, the dog runs away instead. You're welcome.

DreamRovers was important for me to write. It's a pioneer saga in a fantasy world, the first time I wrote a male POV and with multiple POVs. Characters deal with loss, guilt, prejudice, and disassociation but also hope, love, family, and growth. amazon.com/dp/B08H7DQC1Q

Come up with a fairy tale (you can count folklore/fables/classic stories) for each letter of your name! I'll start: Cinderella Hansel and Gretel Rumpelstiltskin Icarus Snow White Tortoise and the Hare Iron Hans (I had to Google it) Emperor's New Clothes
