Hey Reader,
There's been so much going on behind the scenes, and I can't wait to share it all with you. So let's dive in!
Website Revamp
I dedicated a good eight hours to revamping my website, which is a real accomplishment for an Elder Millennial who grew up playing Oregon Trail on the 5th grade classroom computer.
If you'd like to check it out, you can do so here.
BONUS: I added a map of the Unified Territories to the website, so if you're a map girlie, you can see where Roselyn and Valemer are.
WIP Wednesday & Side-Piece Saturday
WIP Wednesdays are my day to give sneak peeks, BTS, reveals, etc about Tempted to the Vampire Prince. This Wednesday I'll be revealing a *very special* surprise for you all! My jaw is on the floor. I think you're going to love it too.
Side-Piece Saturdays are where I talk about the book I'm writing on the side, which is a vikings and vampires romantasy! The release date is Nov 2027, and I'm planning so many surprises for this one. If you're into stories with cursed love, OBSESSED MEN, and a healthy does of vampires, stay tuned for more.

Stephany aka Slice @sliceofsantiago
HOW I MET STEPHANY:
I met Stephany through Nerd Fam's ARC application blast last year, and it turned out that we live very close to one another! WILD.
Stephany is one of those people who lifts up everyone around her, and I'm incredibly grateful to know her. She posts amazing bookish content, hosts lives on TikTok, and hypes up authors every chance she gets.
I could go on and on, but I'll let Slice introduce herself:
Hi, I’m Stephany, though you probably know me as Slice on TikTok because I’m always ready to serve up your next spicy slice of romance! 🌶️
I’m a military spouse, and a mother of four. When I’m not playing referee for my kids or managing our indoor camp out movie nights, you’ll find me hiding in my office with a book (audio or physical, I don’t discriminate). Yes, I read the kind of books you’d definitely hide from your mother... but let’s be real, she’s probably reading them too. From the dark and gritty to the funny and witty rom-coms, I love it all.
I officially run on caffeine, chocolate, books, and pure chaos. You can always find me online at night with my incredible bookish community, where every kind of reader is welcome.
I’ve also just finished writing my first sports romance, which I can’t wait to share with you all soon! ⚾📖
FUN FACT: I've never DNF'd a book in my life.
A recent read: Prey for Me by C.J. Sweet

Coaching Corner
If you're into writing, or are thinking about writing your own book, I've got something special to share with you.
The Book Finishers Summit is back, and it's happening June 25–29, 2026. This is a FREE virtual event bringing together more than 30 authors, book coaches, editors, and publishing experts, all laser-focused on one thing: helping you actually finish your book.
Whether you're battling a tricky plot, wrestling with your mindset, or trying to figure out what happens AFTER you type "the end" there's a session (or five) with your name on it.
Here's a taste of what's on the schedule:
📅 Thursday, June 25 — Mindset Day
Sessions on audacious goal-setting, writing without shame, creative sovereignty, and building your writer's life.�
� Friday & Saturday, June 26–27 — Craft Days
Page-turning tension, scene structure, deep POV, dialogue, character, pacing, and so much more.
📅 Sunday & Monday, June 28–29 — Publishing & Promotion Days
Email lists, book marketing, author branding, illustrators, comp titles, and your publishing success framework.
Every single session is free to watch for 24 hours after it drops. You don't have to pay a thing to show up and learn.
And, guess what, I'll be there too!
I will be speaking on Thursday at 8am EST about Setting Audacious Goals (and actually accomplishing them)
I'd love for you to join me at this event. Registration is free and takes about 30 seconds. You can grab your link here.
(BTW it's an affiliate link)
One more thing: if you want to own every session permanently, to rewatch at your own pace, create your own curriculum, and dip back in whenever you need a boost, there's an All Access Pass available for just $67 right now. That price goes up to $97 once the Summit begins, so it's worth grabbing early if you know you want it.
That's it for this month's newsletter. Stay tuned for more updates!
