I Write Love That Hurts First
I love love and I know that sounds cliche. But the kind of love I love is the one where it *should* be wrong, but isn’t. I write love that bleeds. That starts with the real and raw mush of a person. I write people who don’t know how to say “I love you” but […]
They Show Up Loud or Not at All
I never pick my characters. They pick me. Sometimes they show up in full color—names, voices, backstories. Other times, it’s a line of dialogue or a flicker of something I felt once. But if I don’t feel them in my chest? If I can’t hear them arguing in my head? They don’t make it onto […]
I Don’t Write to Entertain
If you’re here for something easy to read, something you can put down and forget about—I’m not your author. I don’t write to entertain. I write to haunt. I want my characters living in your head when you’re trying to sleep. I want you questioning why you’re rooting for them. I want you uncomfortable. Unsettled. […]
Plot Is Just Pressure
Plot, to me, is just pressure. I put my characters in situations that force them to choose. That bring out the worst in them. That demand they change—or destroy everything around them. The story isn’t about what’s happening to them. It’s about what they do with it. I don’t care about perfect arcs or textbook […]
I Let Them Break Each Other First
If you’ve read anything I’ve written, you know one thing: my characters don’t fall in love gently. I don’t write soft starts. I don’t write cute banter and slow burn safety nets. I let them break each other. I let them rip off masks and expose wounds. And if there’s love under all that damage? […]
Every Character Comes From a QuestionThings I Know for Sure
I don’t just sit down and invent a character. That’s not how it works for me. Every character I write starts with a question. What does love look like to someone who’s never trusted anyone? What happens when a psychopath actually means it when they say they love you? What if someone wasn’t the villain—but […]
Things I Know for SureI Don’t Plan Everything—But I Know How It EndsThings I Know for Sure
People always ask if I outline. If I plot everything before I write. The answer? Kinda. I don’t know every beat. But I always know the ending. I know the feeling I want to leave you with—whether it’s devastation, relief, obsession, or something you can’t quite name. The middle? That’s where the characters take over. […]
I Don’t Write ‘Good’ People
If you’re waiting for me to write a character who always does the right thing… don’t hold your breath. I don’t write good people. I write real ones. Messy, selfish, obsessive, violent. The ones who lie to themselves and everyone else. The ones who love too hard or not at all. The ones you shouldn’t […]
This Is How It Starts
Six months ago, I didn’t know that Kyle and Sarah needed their own damn books. But now? I’m obsessed. These two have layers you wouldn’t believe. And I can’t wait to crack them open and let you see what’s underneath. It’s not going to be pretty. It’s not going to be easy. But you’re going […]
Things I Know for Sure
I know some things. I know they’re not pretty. But I know them, and so should you. Lakey is a psychopath. And I love her. We all love Lakey. Cam will burn this world down for her. And we’ve felt his wrath… Kyle? Oh, Kyle’s got a dark streak that no one sees coming. Sarah? […]
