Have a nice day….

Trenton, you got to meet another side of me. ❤️📚

You may know my book cover designs through Nuance Art LLC. Now, I’m introducing myself as Muqarabun, author of Rent Money: Pretty, Broke, and Dangerous.

I’ve been writing stories since grade school. Bringing my own book to the Trenton Book Fair in my hometown made this chapter of my life feel real.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, picked up a book, or took a moment to connect. And if you’re just finding me—welcome! There’s more to share.

Missed the fair? You haven’t missed the story.

Today is a big day for me. ❤️

Rent Money: Pretty, Broke, and Dangerous officially goes wide today, October 13.

I’ve spent years designing covers for other authors. Now I’m sharing a book I wrote, with my own pen name—Muqarabun—on the cover. I’m still getting used to introducing myself as an author.

After signing books in my hometown of Trenton this weekend, I’m excited to keep meeting readers and hearing what you think of the story.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, picked up a book, shared a post, or encouraged me. Your support means a lot.

If you haven’t met V yet, start with the free first chapter. She’s about to make some decisions we need to talk about. 👀
