About My Journey in the Book World…

Over six years ago, I officially became a published author by launching Twice Upon A Time, the first volume in my paranormal romance series, The Black Angel Book series, about a witch and a monk, spellbound star-crossed lovers eager to be reunited in the future.
So much has happened since then. The rookie that I was had the chance to connect with some wonderful authors, bloggers, and readers, and learn the ropes.

Since then, my debut novel has undergone a complete makeover, inside and out! The story described as “refreshingly unique” by readers has been kicked up a notch  with the addition of a third point of view and a fresh edit. I also completed the series by adding a few titles.
Remember that all the volumes will still be available for free on Kindle Unlimited. See details in the BOOKS section.

After pouring my heart out in a paranormal/urban fantasy romance story, I challenged my writing skills by opting for contemporary romance. I was lucky to be selected as a participating author in Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero Club World when it was created. My contribution is based on Stuck-Up Suit and entitled Omega Artist. It’s available on Kindle Unlimited and also in Audible; hearing what Tig de Luca and Aliénor Godefroy de Briard sound like is just perfect.
You should definitely check it out!


Related to Omega Artist is This or That.
Originally, Mike and Troy story was my addition to an enemies-to-lovers charity anthology, Anyone But You. Now that the anthology is not longer available, I’ve released it on my own and added quite a bit of content: same storyline, same characters, but more focus on certain scenes and a bonus epilogue.
My story is a prequel of Omega Artist, but can be read as a standalone. I love a good challenge, so I decided to write my first ever MM. I had so much fun crafting this story that starts with a revengeful kiss in a Parisian club.

As for my last contemporary MF release, it’s a contribution to The All-American Boy series. A collection of stories in a shared world. My addition is entitled OH BOY!, an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers / hurt-comfort romance.
It features the iconic secondary character from my paranormal series: Nathan Price.
Those of you who subscribed to my newsletter also met a younger Nathan in Toujours, the exclusive freebie for my subscribers.
With OH BOY!, you’ll get a better understanding of this cocky yet surprisingly caring character in events that take place before the series.
It’ll be my last contemporary MF romance for quite a while since I’ll be focusing on contemporary MM romance in the near future. Here’s some evidence:

January 11, 2022: Desire After Dark anthology released with great complications thanks to Amazon that played a trick on us and didn’t release the book! Long story short, my addition, called LIP SERVICE, a friends-to-lovers contemporary romance (MM). It hit the USA TODAY Best-seller list at #80 on Wednesday January 18, as part of the anthology.
Details can be found in the BOOKS section.
So I’m officially a USA TODAY Bestselling Author! Thank you to everyone who bought a copy and support me to make one of my dreams come true.

The anthology is no longer available, but I turned my novella into a full-length novel, Twenty Questions, that’s Book 1 in my upcoming MM contemporary romance series, Foolish Games. I also wrote a prequel to the series, Seven Minutes in Heaven, that’s available for free to my subscribers. Check out the MM Books section.

As for the future… I’m almost ready to hit publish and release a prequel to my paranormal series. The latter got rebranded in early May 2022: new series title, new book titles, same rollercoaster story!
The 8-book slow burn story is now called:
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀’ 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆.
Besides that, I’ve scheduled a few contemporary MM romance in the near future, including the one I’m currently working on.
Release dates aren’t quite settled yet, but will be added as soon as they’re definite.
