⚔️ One thing about me is I will never truly move on from the 2010s YA dystopian era. I missed the pure thrill of those high-stakes, edge-of-your-seat survival stories. But I also love my fantasy stories too. 🔥
I’ve found it so exhausting trying to find that same fast-paced dystopian and fantasy books that I loved without all the added spice. So I wrote my own dystopian fantasy stories.
If you’re a fantasy book lover who wants all the high-stakes survival choices and slow-burn romance minus the explicit content, you’re going to like it here.

Before you dive into Book 2 of this dystopian fantasy series, make sure you've read Rising Ember first. You might be lost without it! 🔥
If you love dystopian books, you'll know there's usually some violence, but in my series, it's never described in nauseating detail. Some characters may perish, but it's never glorified.
The slow burn romance? Still very much alive in Rebels Spark. We're talking more awkward moments, near-misses, and those deep connections that make you grip your book a little tighter. It will never go beyond a kiss, but honestly, you won't need it to. 😅
And yes, still profanity-free. Just high stakes storytelling that doesn't need it. 😉
What can you expect in Book 2 of The Ember Crown Series?
🔥The stakes are higher, the betrayals cut deeper 🔥Your favorite rebellious, snarky characters are back and they've grown 🔥New challenges that make the arena in Book 1 look like a warm-up 🔥Fire-wielding abilities pushed to their absolute limits 🔥Royal court intrigue that will make you trust no one

Unlike used books, checking a book out from the library puts money directly in the authors pocket. How much an author receives in royalties depends on the format and how much the book is priced.
For eBooks and Audiobooks royalties, authors are paid:
💲Per book checkout
💲Per book purchase with a limited license.
For Print royalties, authors are paid:
💲Per book purchase and a new one won’t be purchased until it’s worn out.
Here’s how you can support your favorite authors:
1) Ask them if their books are available and which books are there. If they say they can’t because their book is in Kindle Unlimited, let them know Amazon has changed their policy. They can absolutely make their ebooks available in the library.
2) Bug your librarian. Libraries have budgets. But if they see a demand, they are more likely to make room for the book. So gather up your book club and head to your local library.
3) Read books are your library apps. We really appreciate every penny. Seriously, authors celebrate it.
Libraries are great way to consume your favorite books on a budget. It’s also a great way to try new to you authors.

One thing about this dystopian fantasy villain origin story? It’s not HIS story to tell. 🥀
Most origin stories follow the villain’s descent. Ruined Ashes follows the woman he destroyed to get there.
Think President Snow... if Lucy Gray was a high-born fire wielder with a kingdom to protect and he was a beloved general with disdain for those born with power. 🏰🔥
It wasn’t love. It was obsession. And when she figured it out... she ran.
Now, he’s launching a rebellion that has caught everyone off guard, and he’ll bring the kingdom to it’s knees. ⚔️👑
What you’ll find:
✅ A villain convinced he’s the savior ✅ A mother filled with regret ✅ A gemstone that leaches power ✅ Elemental power ✅ A rebellion that changes everything
What you won’t find:
🚫 Gore
🚫Spice
🚫explicit language
If you love origin stories... Give Ruined Ashes a try! It’s F R E E when you sign up for my newsletter.
If you’ve known me for any length of time, then you’ll know I love blending sci-fi and fantasy together in my books. So of course, Star Wars is one of my favorite science fantasy franchises.
It checks off all my story favorites:
✅Chosen Ones
✅ Found family
✅Royalty (either good or bad)
✅Protectors with a moral code or at least know how to operate in a corrupt system.
✅Superpowers that defy physics
✅Resistance groups that take down the Empire.
✅ Redemption Arcs
✅And of course... romance.
So naturally, these characters and worlds have infiltrated my books.
✨The Progenitor Chronicles = a female Anakin-like princess who has to fight the dark side.
✨The Ember Crown = a feisty Leia-like orphan who hones her powers to rise against the Empire from within.
✨The Last Coral = a Rey-like scavenger who ends up joining the resistance.
👇Who’s your favorite Star Wars character? Drop them below! 👇
❓️Have you ever joined an ARC Team? Whether you read one fantasy or dystopian book a month or ten, consider joining the ARC teams of your favorite authors.
If you’ve never heard of an ARC book before, it means that you receive a book in advance of its launch. The author or publishers goal is to try to get as many reviews as possible on the day the book goes on sale.
ARC and Street Teams are so important... especially to us indie authors. Without the help of readers willing to pick up and review our books, they would never be seen.
All you have to do as an ARC reader is:
– Read early copies – Share your thoughts on platforms like Amazon, Goodreads, Bookbub
ARC copies cost nothing to you as the reader... but they can cost the author time and money. So don’t join more teams than you can handle. We are relying on your review to come though.
And I just want to say thank you to all of the readers who have supported my book launches. You guys are so amazing. 🥰
And if you miss the dystopian era and want to read more books with trials like the Hunger Games, augmented realities like Divergent, and the superpowers like Red Queen...
Then The Ember Crown series is calling your name.
The first book in the series, Rising Ember, is already out. But if you didn’t get a chance to be on my ARC team don’t worry. You can read it as part of your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Or request the book in your local library.
And if you’re waiting for book 2... it’s coming this JUNE!

This mythological sci-fi fantasy adventure is what started me down the path of my author career.
The story started off as just a picture in my mind of a dense forest and a young woman with incredible powers destined to protect it from those who would destroy it for its resources. The story grew and it eventually expanded the barrier of time and space, which was kind of cool to write.
But Xendara will forever be a precious character to me because she started my author journey. Her grief over her lost family members was my grief too. She healed me in ways that only a character with the ability to manipulate the very atoms of our existence could heal someone.
And so this week I celebrate this four book collection, because without The Progenitor Chronicles I wouldn't have connected with all of you.
Is there a story (book/movie/show) that changed your life? Tell me below.

I can't believe my short dystopian fantasy story inspired by a conversation about Pirates of the Caribbean is finally out in the world. 😍
The Last Coral is about a woman just trying to feed her family but ends up with a group of pirates on their way to steal an ancient artifact from a greedy king. If they don't get it back in time... the sea will swallow them whole.
But this Lunar Chronicles inspired story isn't the only story you'll find in this series...
There are 20 other adventurous fantasy short stories for you to discover. 😍
If you're looking for no-spice fantasy stories, this book might be the place to start. 😁
You want a spicy book, a slow-paced plot, or swearing, because you’ll be very disappointed.
This is a dystopian fantasy retelling of The Fisherman and His Wife. The world is bleak, with tyrannical kings, injustice, and people on the brink of survival. But it’s not all doom and gloom either.
I’m generally an optimistic author, so I coat the oppressive worlds with resilience and hope... and lighthearted moments that will make you smile. I mean there are robot waiters, which should tell you something right there. 🤖
This story is on the cozier side of my dystopian fantasy books. There is fantasy violence, but nothing worse than PG-13 stakes without the gore.
If you’re a high-stakes reader who craves a fariytale story with dystopian vibes and characters who haven't figured out their powers yet, then THIS STORY IS FOR YOU!
If you loved the futuristic fairytales in The Lunar Chronicles, the high-seas adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the elemental powers of Shadow & Bone, then you need to read The Last Coral. ⛵️
🪸 Get the link to the charity anthology with over 20 fantasy short stories in the comments!
Let’s talk about the stakes in this story. Collent is a fisherwoman who just wants to feed her family and keep her head down. But everything changes when she awakens a sacred relic... and her anxiety accidentally summons a deadly storm.
Now the king has stolen the relic, her cousin is in his clutches, and Collent is forced into an unlikely alliance with a rebel pirate prince.
She has about a week's worth of untrained power, a growing tempest on her hands, and absolutely no business being on a pirate ship. But she has one chance to take the relic back... before the sea destroys them all.
If you love daring heists, "quietly fierce" heroines, and dystopian fairytale retellings (this one is The Fisherman and His Wife!), then you’ll love this short story.
Plus, all proceeds support literacy, so it’s a win for everyone!
