FEEDBACK is my newest WIP, featuring DUAL POV forced proximity annoyances to lovers with huge grumpy x sunshine vibes and is truly just my love letter to metal music. When Sienna's first major account at her dream PR job turns out to be a reformed metal band, she isn't thrilled, but as an unadmitted people-pleaser, she wants to prove she can handle anything. But lead singer Devon, tattooed and sarcastic with a voice that makes Sienna's head spin, is about to make her job very difficult.

TRUE BLUE is my joint project with my better half w1ldflow3r and was originally our submission for 2023's Open Novella Contest. We realized quickly on that this story is its better self as a full length novel not a novella, so we withdrew from ONC, but are still actively working on it. TRUE BLUE is an unconventional rom-com featuring young professionals (and their super likable friends) in Chicago and is told in dual POV.

If you are itching for another sports romance, be sure to check out OVERDRIVE. It's the brainchild of my love for Formula 1, surfing, the beach and all its good vibes, and it's my more nuanced take on the more typical sports romance. When a fallen from grace surfing world champion has a one night stand with a hotshot F1 driver, she thinks she'll never see him again, but the universe has a funny way of pushing people together. It truly is one of the best things I've written to date, and I'm very proud of it.

RELATIVE FICTION deals with hard drug addition, but is told from the perspective of the addict, as opposed to someone from the outside, and also deals with toxic relationships from a male perspective. RELATIVE FICTION IS A 2021 WATTY WINNER & IS NOW A FREE STORY!

CRASH INTO ME won a Watty in 2018 for the "heartbreakers" category and is the first book I wrote when I joined Wattpad, so it's super sentimental to me. This book is like my child, and it's surpassed every hope and expectation I had for my first full-length novel. I'm extremely proud of it. It's recently been editied/rewritten and it's truly its best self right now.

BLIND AMBITION is my first real go at teen fiction & is completed. It's told from the POV of a football star who realizes his anxiety and addiction is spiraling out of control, but social norms of his small affluent town have a vice grip on him. If you liked some of the sports themes of BIG SHOT but with a bit more nuance, check this one out. Very heavy on male mental health representation, as well as some other social issues in sports such as pain management and entitlement of young athletes. BLIND AMBITION won an AMBY award in 2022 and has been featured on Wattpad's official YA and Teen Fiction profiles!
