Thirty, Flirty, & Forever Alone (✨my fourth book out 11.11.2025!✨) is available for preorder now! a.co/d/h2p9xUN -- YES I DID PRINT THE COVER OUT and tape it to another book because it’s still early and I don’t have hard copies yet XD Thirty Flirty, & Forever Alone is adult romcom with a dash of magic!
The first half of this book streamed out of me in 2023 after two years worth of dating app nonsense. I had so much fun with the concept and the back and forth between our two leads! It’s a whimsical, cozy, romantic, comedy filled adventure exploring the inevitable life and perspective shifts that hit when you move into your thirties as single girlie, while everyone around you gets married. It’s giving 27 Dresses meets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! 🖤 I CANT WAIT FOR YALL TO READ!! If you want the synopsis it’s below!
✨This will be my adult romcom debut which is so exciting! If you’re planning to read or want to support my authoring career, I would greatly appreciate your pre-order! Preorders are incredibly important to a book’s launch. Your support there goes a long way! 🤗 Thank you so SO MUCH!

➡️When your name literally means “forever alone,” it takes a lot of positive self-talk to stay optimistic in the hellscape that is dating. But on the cusp of thirty, Rikki Romona is determined to find her person.
Columnist, therapist, podcaster, entrepreneur―Rikki is an overachiever who thrives on schedules. She can absolutely handle two weddings in two days, and lock down someone to drag along as a plus-one.
Except LOL: She doesn’t.
She finds herself flying hopelessly solo at a themed wedding in NJ.
Enter Reed Tyler: writer, podcast producer, wannabe actor. Surprisingly single with startling blue eyes, he seems perfect. The catch? He lives kind of far away, so dating him would be a bit of a hike.
After one unforgettable night together, Rikki’s sure this is the end. But as she braces herself for heartache, the universe, it seems, has other plans…
