During 2016 and 2017, I contributed to two horror story anthologies (Scare Me to Sleep and Haunted Souls). Those anthologies were temporary, and those stories were so fun to write that I started to plan the Lost Souls series. Volume 1 includes a second edition of my stories published in 2016 and 2017. They are slighly longer and with a few changes.  More stories coming soon!   About Lost Souls: Lost Souls is a series of short stories revolving around a group of friends and a house with a murderous past. Volume one includes two of their stories. It Follows A night with friends turns into the sleepover from hell after Brooke Robertson realizes she has been followed by an evil spirit. Seven Minutes in Hell A game among friends gets out of hand when the past comes back to haunt them. Get your copy today!  Kindle -  iBooks -  Paperback

Hi everyone,  It's been a while, huh? I decided to revive the blog! I hope you love the new look, and I would love to hear from you on what type of content you'd enjoy (outside of book updates). Whether bonus content from my books, more about new characters, or even about writing in general, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message letting me know what you'd like to read about. :D I also have an upcoming release next week! Here is a little info about Avenoir - a YA paranormal novella.  Welcome to Havenwood Falls, a small town in the majestic mountains of Colorado. A town where legacies began centuries ago, bloodlines run deep, and dark secrets abound. A town where nobody is what you think, where truths pose as lies, and where myths blend with reality. A place where everyone has a story. Including the high schoolers. This is only but one… Heidi Bennett had the perfect life—including great parents and an insanely romantic boyfriend—until it all cam...

I'm so excited to have you be a part of my release day for HUNTED, Book 3 of the Donovan Circus Series! Sometimes it feels like I just released the first book, GIFTED, a few days ago; other times, it feels like more years than it's actually been! :) Thank you to the amazing bloggers, authors, and readers who have helped make this such an awesome release day. Also a special thanks to my cover designer, Kate at Dwell Design Press for her amazing cover work! I hope you all find the third adventure as exciting as the first two - and perhaps much darker, as there are many underlying things bubbling to the surface, secrets coming unveiled, and a death that will shake the troupe in a terrible way.     Back Cover Synopsis: Lucy Sullivan finally belongs with the gifted Donovan Circus. Members are finding their rhythm, even the new folks from the Grayson Circus who joined after the last attack. Lucy feels like a trusted leader who can win the gifted battles and prevent hu...

STARFALL, the electrifying conclusion of NYT Bestselling author's Starstruck series was released on February 24th.    A little about how the whole series came to be… Back when I was in third grade (or thereabouts), a girl in my class used to tell us all that she was really a Martian princess. She was ADAMANT about it, and even though we made fun of her (as kids will) and tried all kinds of things to convince or trick her into admitting she was making it up, she stuck to her story—probably for at least a month, though of course I remember it as much longer now.  I forgot all about her and her story until a few years ago, when something brought it to mind. At that point, my writer-brain suddenly whispered, “What if she was telling the truth? What if she really WAS a Martian princess?” And thus, the idea for STARSTRUCK was born. By the time I finished the book (which took me over a year, since it was my first foray into writing for the young adult marke...

Hi everyone, I'm currently updating my blog. It's been far too long! I really do miss blogging, but it's just been a crazy year. I'm back though and I will be here more often. :) For now, I will leave you with a quick update on new releases since last time I was here. The Vampires are back!  You know... the non-sparkling ones. v--v Venom , the first novel in the Imprinted Souls Series spin-off, featuring Nicholas, Harvey, and Sarah, is now available.

She is now mortal, but her life is far from normal. Sarah lives with two vampires: Harvey, and her brother Nicholas. Together, they do what they can to keep her hidden from their kind. But between her desire to live a normal human...

Guest post from author Dawna Raver about her new adult novel, 'Colour Wielders'.   Isn't this cover amazing? :) - Daniele -  Behind the Faerying Mysts, hidden from Mortal eyes, is a land where Gods, creatures of myth and legend dwell. And in the Mortal Realm, their Princess lives. Quinn Sinclair is clueless to who she is. She thinks she's an ordinary young woman—well, mostly ordinary—living an ordinary life with her less than loving mother in Conifer, Colorado. On the night of her birthday, Quinn finds herself betrayed by a man who sends her life spinning out-of-control. As she struggles to pick up the pieces, a vision of a man with haunting tourmaline-blue eyes begs her for help, and she finds herself transported into a Magykal battle forever changing her life. Arik Morgaine—Demigod bad boy and outcast of the Magykal Realm—tried to avoid contact with Princess Quinn Sinclair for eighteen years, not wanting to make good on an ol...
