I'm publishing my book!

 Exciting news everybody!

I'm thrilled to announce that my debut novel, Love Be Damned, will be released next year, in Spring of 2025!

If you haven't heard, Love Be Damned is my YA contemporary romantic-fantasy novel, about a girl who is trying to save her sister from the demon who possessed her boyfriend. In case this sounds interesting to you, here is the official blurb:

Teen fashionista Ayana always believed she’d go to hell and back for her sister, Sabrina, but she never thought it would be so literal. After a family dinner where Sabrina’s boyfriend, Damian, is replaced by a shape-shifting mirror demon that’s out for her soul, Ayana is forced to put her designing dreams on hold to become the chic demon-slayer her sister needs.

Unfortunately, demon hunting isn’t as easy as sprinkling holy water around, especially not when Damian may be working with an accomplice: the musical, charming Carter, who is suddenly everywhere, and has taken an alarming interest in Ayana. Just as she starts to fall for him, coincidences begin to pile up, and Ayana realizes that Carter and Damian’s appearances in her life may not be due to chance after all. Perhaps the two are more intertwined than she thought.

To save her sister and protect her heart, Ayana is forced to team up with her disaster cousin, her baking-obsessed best friend, and her eccentric guardian angel to confront the one thing she hadn’t been expecting to fight: love.

In this stylish, laugh-out-loud story of sisterhood and self-acceptance, Ayana learns to face the demon in the mirror, and that sometimes, you can fall in love for the hell of it.  

If you were ever a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or That's So Raven, I'm sure you're going to love this story. This book is full of hilarious dialogue, cinnamon roll love interests (who also love cinnamon rolls, lol) and memorable, chaotic characters.

The official release date is in Spring 2025, but I will be sure to keep you all posted as soon as I know more. Be on the lookout for pre-order information in the coming months.

In the meantime, please enjoy this character art I commissioned of the lovely characters, as done by @starrysola on X (formerly known as Twitter).
