Interested in reading something a little different? Try The Inner Circle!

The Inner Circle is a YA novel written under my pen name, Inez. It was a fun little mystery to write. Though it is the first in the Secrets & Lies series, I encourage you to try it out! Fair warning that it'll take time for me to release the second book as I'm still completing books for the MI series as well as Royal Chronicles, though I do have it planned out from beginning to end. Inner Circle will have two more books to complete the series. I plan to finish them back to back and hope to have them released sometime next year.

Here's the blurb for book one:

Secrets come heavy in the small town of Bryson, Georgia, and no one knows that better than The Inner Circle. Long time members Rachel, Lexie and Arabella are pros when it comes to playing by the rules set in place by current leader of the pack, Heather Gladstone. But after spending an unwillingly dreadful summer with Heather as her latest minion, newbie Katzyana Gallagher is no longer willing to obey.

After a heated exchange and a few choice words tossed back and forth between the two leads to a permanent rift and Katzy's ouster from the group, she seeks revenge on her new nemesis in the hopes of destroying her reputation before a vowing Heather can do the same. But when things go too far and the residential Queen Bee accidentally ends up dead in the Gallagher's backyard swimming pool, all eyes turn to a threatening Katzy. Her cavalier attitude toward Heather's death certainly doesn't help her case, but did she really do it? Survey says, she's not the only one who may have wanted Heather permanently out of the picture -- quite the contrary, in fact. The other girls might have played by the rules to remain popular, but it sure as hell doesn't mean they were happy about it. And with the start of senior year, now was a better time than any to finally rid the queen from her throne and steal the crown for themselves. If that's what they had truly been seeking all along.

Secrets come heavy in the small town of Bryson, Georgia, and no one knew that better than The Inner Circle. The secrets may have saved four of them. But the lies have already killed one. So far.

As always, happy reading and enjoy the remaining weekend!

CRASHED: A SKULL & BONES MC

It's been a while!  So much has been going on within the world and my personal life that I had to take a severe step back with my writing. I hated it, but it was also necessary. Because I suffered from terrible writer's block and as a result, was unable to pen anything worth reading.  I started writing CRASHED sometime in 2020 before stopping and then trying to pick it up over the last four years. I was never bored with the story but overtime, became unmotivated to finish. Within the last few months, I was able to change that and finally finish the story that had initially gotten me back on my feet after Professor X .  There are some things I changed about the original story, such as the name of the MC, a few themes and the cover. But overall, the story itself is the same and has gone back to the roots of the first MC I had ever written and published, Inflamed . River and Mia also make appearances in this story, by the way.  If you would like to sign up to read an A...

#WriterWednesday - Inflamed 'Fun Fact!'

Did you know...? The scene in which Mia & River finally talk about their feelings for each other and hook up was written about a month before nearly everything else that happened prior to it. Right after I wrote the prologue and first three chapters, there was a giant gap of 'stuff' that was supposed to happen, but I wasn't sure how to fill it because I didn't know what any of that 'stuff' would be. So I decided to move forward with other parts of the story until it finally hit me. That exact moment of their hook up came to me as I was writing another scene, and I just went with it, all while having zero clue as to how the hell they got to that point (given where they started)! It was only when I finished those scenes that I knew what I was building up to and how the story itself would come to an end. It amplified and intensified every conversation and encounter between them, hence the name of the book. I changed the cover three times in the hope of ...

Having said that, let me just tell you again that this book was SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE! I know that people were frustrated with things that happened (or didn't happen) in  Decision Makers and I get that. It frustrated me to write it because the characters took me to places that I didn't necessarily want them to go, but knew that they needed to. In some respect, they had...
