The Not Knowing When the Last Time Is the Last Time

New Release! New Series!! LOVE, LIES, AND LEY LINES

It’s been years since the infamous smuggling team of Bandit and Goldilocks thumbed their noses at the fae authorities, running the priceless magical pixie dust desired by everyone from hedge witches to the storied magic academies. No one in the human principalities controlled by the fae can work even the simplest spells without the stuff. And without fae magic, humans will find themselves back in the dark ages of disease and fast mortality. But the enigmatic fae keep a tight grip on their monopoly of pixie dust, charging extortionate prices at their whim.

Bandit has been doing her best to get by on her racing wins and the quick thrill of one-night stands while her former partner and best friend, the powerful sorceress known as Goldilocks, is off playing house and having babies. But when Bandit gets the offer of a lifetime, she convinces Goldilocks to come out of retirement for one last, hugely profitable gig.

And if the Bandit picks up a mysterious and seductive hitchhiker fleeing his wedding, well that just adds a bit of spice to the job. When he refuses to tell her his name, she dubs him Prince Charming and only regrets that she won’t have time to find out more about her enticing companion—and what he looks like under those fancy clothes.

As the Bandit and Prince Charming run distraction for Goldilocks and her precious haul, they face untold dangers penetrating the arcane fae realms.

All for gold, glory, and maybe even true love.

Or lust. It can be hard to tell the difference.

Reviews

Old friends ride again and new love blooms in Love, Lies, and Ley Lines. Flirty banter and a crackling magic system combine for a rollicking adventure in this fae romantasy.”

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep

The “Myth” of New Year’s Resolutions – 12/2/26

Give yourself credit for surviving 2025, and be kind to new gym goers! My new routine for this year is reflective of how my resolutions in the past haven’t always prioritized happiness so much as maximizing my time in favor for productivity. I also got a new reading lamp because I’m making the transition back to physical books instead of digital ones. But if you are interested in digital copies or physical, learn more about my newest release, Magic Reborn:

First Cup of Coffee – A Series of Chaotic Events – Dec. 16th, 2025

This episode contains mentions of challenging topics related to Epstein.

Is it advisable to put my life on DnD while I try to finish this book? Or perhaps I should take a self-care night and dive into the endlessly fascinating read by Virginia Roberts Giuffre…. Or, maybe, someone will back into my fender in a parking lot. That works, too. Also, seven P.M. start time for a party? What do we think?

First Cup of Coffee – Book Release, New Series, and the Dentist

First podcast with the fancy new mic! Comment if you think it sounds great, or simply just keep listening ~ If you haven’t already, the time to get caught up on Warriors of Magic is now since the final installment is coming end of this month. All SIX Pov’s will be featured in this book and I couldn’t be more excited for you all to read it.

YouTube isn’t going anywhere, though. We’re planning to shift the channel toward long-form writing content, book discussions, and reviews. We think you’ll really enjoy it. And of course, I’d love your feedback. Let me know what kinds of YouTube videos you’d like to see!
