THE MEMORIES of a DREAM WALKER

"I can still feel his amusement in the hunt, like a shadow at the edges of my mind, stalking…waiting."

Everyone questions Dawn’s sanity. A step into her world–a place where daymares spill into reality–the lines blur like faded pages. With a broken heart, a dorky therapist, and her positive guru best friend, Dawn can barely hold it together.

Hello to all my beautiful people!

I hope all of you are staying out of this crazy weather and keeping warm. It’s been a while since my last newsletter and I have no excuse because life has been lifin’.

My Favorite Reads of 2024 (So Far)­ I’m hands down a fantasy fiction

I’m hands down a fantasy fiction junkie. I switch between epic fantasy, dark fantasy, and romantasy. That’s not to say I don’t delve into sci-fi, or even thrillers every once in a while.

I have never resonated with a main character like I did with Faron. She’s like my soul FMC. The world-building left some to be desired, but as a whole, I loved...
