Writing Updates
While counting down the days until DESTINED releases, I've already returned to Blackwater City and am hard at work on A Requiem of Flames, Book Two in the Blackwater series.
​
The story is unfolding in ways I never expected, with new secrets, dangerous alliances, and plenty of twists waiting ahead. I can't wait to share more behind-the-scenes updates as the manuscript grows.
​
The shadows of Celearius may be coming to an end, but another dark journey is only just beginning.
