Okay, I'm done. No more peopling. Where are my books?

This Louisa May Alcott quote resonates deeply with me. Sometimes life leaves me longing for the comforting familiarity of a well-loved story. Do you know anyone who comfort reads their favorites?

Of course I'm not addicted to reading. I'm just VERY committed! We should celebrate such dedicated reading, right? 😂

I am in the process of completing final edits this week, following which I will issue notifications to beta readers. A slight delay has been incurred due to assisting my oldest child with moving into their dorms on Tuesday.

Oh, yes! Books season my life in the best of ways! Every genre brings a bit of different flavor, and I love the variety. What are you favorite genres to read?

COMING SOON!

✨ Some lights are chosen. Some never fade. ✨
Seventeen years ago, Ashe Lockhart gave up everything—her magic, her fae crown, and the fae she was promised to—for a mortal life and the man she loved.
Now a widowed mother of two in small‑town Ohio, Ashe believes the fae realm is behind her… until Reis Nox returns with an impossible truth: the fae realm is dying—and only royal blood can save it.
When Ashe learns her daughters are half‑fae—and one is on the verge of a dangerous magical awakening—she’s forced back into the court that never forgave her, the power she sacrificed, and the love she never truly escaped.
To save her children and a dying realm, Ashe must reclaim the crown she once rejected—and decide what she’s willing to sacrifice this time.
💔 Second‑chance romance
👑 Fae courts & political intrigue
🔥 Magic, motherhood, and impossible choices
THE LIGHT WE CHOOSE
by Krystal Russell
📚 Perfect for fans of emotional romantasy with high stakes and heart.
