April Wrap-Up & May Goals
Did I finish the rough draft of my current WIP last month? Not exactly. Along with an impromptu trip to Ohio for the solar eclipse, I may have gotten distracted by a short story submission for a week. I’m still on schedule for my planned release date, though. Even better, I have the official cover…

Con Report: ApollyCon 2024
Last year, I had the pleasure of becoming friends with another MM romance author relatively local to me, Rory Maxwell.

Devil’s Own K.M.

Read my reviews of previous books in the Lost Boys series: The Thief (#0.5) | The Skeptic (Lost Boys #1) | The Crush (#2) | The Punk (#3) I often joke that it’s not a Kelly Fox book unless it makes me laugh so hard that I scare a cat at least once. While this story definitely includes moments…

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Chain Reaction series: Catalyst (#1) | Reactant (#2) This book fulfilled all my expectations, and then some, for the long-awaited finale of this trilogy.

Book Review: Conquest (Four Horsemen #1) by Sienna Moreau
Moreau’s interpretation of the Four Horsemen myth accounts for contemporary ideas of religion while simultaneously putting an intriguing spin on the concept.

Luckily, I’ve since found amazing indie authors who fill that niche whenever I get the craving for a certain genre. This particular open-world urban fantasy may be set in the stereotypical setting of historic England, but Sherwood makes…
