I recently updated my website and realized I needed to post a matching price list! Find a current catalog of available packages, prices, add-ons, licenses, and more! My prices haven’t changed at this time, they’re pretty much the same from the last list. There are some minor differences in the packages, as well as a more clarified breakdown of add-ons. Thank you as always for supporting me and always reach out if you have questions! 🤎

When I started writing my debut romantasy novel, I knew that, given the nature of my job, I’d end up publishing under a pen name.
The idea of keeping my writing identity separate from my personal identity was birthed in logic. But the more I wrote and the more I posted as a writer on social media, the more my writing identity started to feel like ME. I had this realization that perhaps my pen name “persona” was as much a real part of me as any other part of me.
And to be honest, posting behind a logo felt really weird and disingenuous in the age of AI. I am a human! And felt very much not like one behind a logo.
When I found Tina’s artwork, I knew she had to be the person to bring my author persona to life. Her art is captivating. She was an absolute DREAM to work with during every stage of the process as she brought my vision to life. Take a look at what she created—an absolutely STUNNING author portrait that feels like me, looks like me, and fits my genre.
Thank you, @palesile for bringing to life a piece of artwork that allows me to feel like myself in this space.

🌙 Here’s the grand reveal for this incredible, 100% human made art of Koray and Soley, the protagonists of The Runt and the Warlock, painted by the very skilled @palesile ! Thank you SO much, Palesile, for bringing my vision to life when I needed help! You are amazing! You truly encapsulated the looming of the black cliffs and the eclipse while keeping hope. And the love, the heartache, the relief in their gazes… Masterful! ☺️ I would talk more about the symbolism, but you readers will have to find out what all this means yourself!
☀️ Second big news is that for all you ARC readers, applications are now open, so see if this book is a fit for you. Like all my other novels, this story handles tough topics around trauma recovery. Make sure you check out the content warnings.
⭐️ Pre-orders are coming soon, but you can expect to snatch this spicy, emotional, and profound Fantasy Romance on Halloween, the perfect time of the year for wolf-shifter and warlock frolicking!
🌎 Thank you to everyone for waiting. I wanted to release this in January, but this has been a tough year, and aging with Dysautonomia hasn’t been kind. From developing air hunger to frequent falls, there’s been a lot to process and try to heal from. In a way, it’s meant to be, because the book cover and color themes scream autumn, 🍂 my favorite time of the year. Maybe my Soley deserved the comfort of cider and cozy blankets.
Synopsis:
Soley, a packless submissive wolf-shifter and the Vessel of the Sun God, is struggling to find her place in her new home and the world in general.
Koray, human and Key to the Realm of the Gods, has been training with the fae to become a better protector for Soley. His secret project to fulfill her dreams makes their reunion all too brief, and when she’s abducted without a trace, he drops everything in a panic.
With a warning from his goddess that the Sun God has gone silent along with the vessel’s disappearance and the knowledge Soley has lost her memories, the young man threatens to raze all in his path to find her, knowing what lies ahead may be stronger than any deity.
100% human authored.
GenAI has no place in the arts.

Mondlicht x Emily Mcintire 🩷
🌛 Dark Romance meets Retelling 🌛
Gemeinsam mit Emily McIntire und in Kollaboration mit everlove präsentieren wir euch ein düsteres, intensives Retelling, das euch nicht mehr loslassen wird:
Burning Daylight - Mondlicht Edition 🌙
Enemies to Lovers-Romance der Bestsellerautorin
Das Dark Romance Romeo & Julia Retelling
Eine Liebe stark genug, die Geschichte neu zu schreiben
Juliette Calloway ist die Tochter einer der mächtigsten Familien in Rosebrooks Falls. Roman Montgomery ist der verborgen gehaltene Erbe eines Imperiums, das von einer jahrhundertealten Fehde überschattet wird.
Als sich ihre Wege kreuzen, sprühen die Funken.
Keine Namen.
Keine Vergangenheit.
Nur unwiderstehliche Anziehungskraft.
Als Roman sein Erbe antritt, müssen sie sich der entsetzlichen Wahrheit stellen: Ihre Familien sind verfeindet. Ihre Liebe ist nicht nur verboten, sie ist unmöglich.
Jetzt fühlt sich jeder Kuss wie Verrat an. Jeder gestohlene Moment ist ein Risiko. Und in einer Stadt, die auf Geheimnissen und Blut aufgebaut ist, könnte ihre Leidenschaft das Gefährlichste überhaupt sein.
Tropes, die euch erwarten:
✨ Star-crossed lovers
✨ Forbidden Love
✨ He falls first
✨ Corrupt small town
✨ Slow burn
✨ Dark romance retelling
Ausstattung der Mondlicht Edition:
🌙 Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag
🌙 Schutzumschlag & Farbschnitt von @mauve_potion
🌙 Bezugdesign von @palesile
🌙 Vor- und Nachsatz von @iinnevvitable

✨When soulmates met✨ --Kritka, probably
Thank you to @palesile for capturing this magical moment when this unlikely duo met for the first time!
What was your first impression of Kritka?

✨Character Art Reveal✨
I’m so in love with how @palesile captured Iris and Jonas during their first dance in the Expiring series. This scene is one of my favorites in Expiration Date, and I absolutely love that the Society dances through the stars🌌
Expiration Date is the first book in a scifi romance series where the Society knows the date of their citizens’ deaths and imprints them on their arms at birth. When Iris doesn’t die on her Date, saved instead by one of the highest-ranking members of the Society, she finds herself trapped in their Estate and caught between feuding cousins. Erik offers her the chance for revenge at the cost of her life, while Jonas offers her the chance at life, if she can accept living amongst the very people who ruined her childhood.
There are aliens, a slow-burn romance that may be star-crossed, and political intrigue. If you’re a fan of dystopian romance and The Selection, then this will be for you. And if you adore romantasy and are looking to dip your toes into scifi, then I think you’ll really love Expiration Date.
✨Expiration Date will be published by @podiumentertainment on April 6, 2027. This gorgeous art will be a part of the preorder campaign.
If you were one of the 24 million reads on the Wattpad version, I hope you’ll be excited for the updated version Podium is working with me on. Can you imagine the Order in tennis apparel? 🎾 It’s going to be great.

me participating in a trend while it’s still hot? Who am I lol
decided to draw it as Jude from The Cruel Prince by @blackholly (The Folk of the Air series) - and rightfully so, she’s a badass - as suggested by my fellow art friend @aggiedraws_ who also did an incredible rendition that you should check out if you haven’t yet! 🥰
will probably post an art process vid in a few days!
sometimes I get stuck in commission land, and it helps freshen up my skills to do a practice session or a study! This was perfect for giving me fresh perspective and I’m excited to dive back in to my client work tomorrow!

finally just started unpacking my books onto my new shelves and of course came across one of my favs, One Dark Window! The tension in this scene was 🌶️undeniable 🤌😘 Anyways just thought I’d repost this little sketch and spiral about how much more art I’d love to do for this book!
I’ve had a few ideas brewing, so maybe I’ll get started and see how it goes!

Stages of illustrating a custom bookish commission! It’s a very simplified version of how I get from A to Z. This one was for a book cover for romance writer @hillarybowenwrites and was also the first closeup I had done in a while!
