Books I've Written By the Numbers

I loved this little walk down memory lane 🫶

Fun fact: the first book I wrote was actually a romantasy! Any other SJM fans out there get inspired to pick writing or reading back up again after falling in love with her books? 🙋‍♀️

Lana kills bad people. It’s efficient, satisfying, and–let’s be honest–deeply therapeutic.

Nic also kills bad people. But blood makes him queasy, so he's forced to get creative...

🖤Haunted & Hexed
🖤Touch Him & Burn
🖤Kiss Her & Die

This curse doesn’t keep Simone from wanting to put her hands on Jadriel.

Good and cruel gods *all* she wants is to touch him—even if it burns her from the inside out.

But, if she lets him kiss her, it'll kill him.

I spent so long haunted by the voice in my head that I wrote an FMC with many of them.

The twist? Every voice is from one of her past lives. And they are all obsessed with Luc.

9x9 board of photos (top left to bottom right): dark rose bush, dark blue woods at night with fog, quote that reads, “I learned about death by being alive… or maybe I’ve tried it myself.” Starting second row: Closeup of a dragonfly wing, a girl floating in dark water with white flowers, hands reaching up from a dark lake with lily pads, a quote that reads, “we were strangers bound by a shared past, entangled in the present, with no promise of a future.” Forget-me-nots, a man and a woman dancing against a starry sky

The same image from before with arrows pointing out to show tropes from the story which are: found family, haunted woods, past repeats itself, dual timeline, ghosts, repressed memories, investigation, and strong female characters. Two new images to replace the quotes from the previous board: a dark field of flowers in a forest tinted blue, a woman’s hands and body submerged under water reaching out.

A little snippet of my 1st page for ALICE & THE AFTERLIFE #GhostPit #Q #PN #M #NA

Reluctant medium Alice moves to the coast for some peace and quiet. Instead, she accidentally lands a job cleaning houses and exorcising restless spirits 🏡

Alice can see ghosts – and frankly, she’s had enough of them 👻 #PitDark #PN #UF #NA

But when stubborn cleaner Rani ropes her into scrubbing haunted houses & solving her twin brother’s murder, Alice finds herself knee-deep in spirits, secrets, and a serial killer who is closer than she thinks.

I love this so much 🖤
