What book are you on in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series? 💥 Read more about book 8 here: As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they’re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon. Races. Get from point A to point B, and don’t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple. Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it “a coming-out party for the ages.” Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine. Carl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do. So Carl is planning a party of his own. It’s a plan so dangerous, so insane, he can’t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. Includes part eight of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”

Are you ready to return to Dark Enterprises? 👀 Well, buckle up, because things are about to get VERY messy. My next book, MESSY AS HELL, arrives on 1/12/27. Chaos? Check. Blood? Tons. Monsters? Heck yeah. But there's also found family, queer love, and a seriously cute bunny rabbit. 🐰 If you like your stories a little unhinged, a lot heartfelt, and fully committed to the bit, this is the book for you. Available now for pre-orders! 🪣🧹🪣🧹🪣🧹🪣🧹🪣🧹 CAUTION! All employees must correctly dispose of otherworldly biohazards found on Dark Enterprises property. Failure to comply may result in one hell of a mess… “If a door is closed, you leave it alone.” That’s the one rule janitor Sam is given when he starts cleaning the infamous thirteenth floor of the Denver branch of Hell-like multinational corporation Dark Enterprises. Sam is thrilled to be that much closer to his idol, Constantine Galanos, Denver’s ruthless and charming CEO, but he’s even more excited to uncover the tantalizing secrets lurking up on the executive level. Maybe he’ll find something juicier than tawdry workplace affairs and petty office gossip, something he can share with his closest friends, daredevil Mia and secret crush Calvin. When Sam comes across a closed door his first day on the job, he thinks one little peek can’t hurt. But he’s dead wrong. Behind that door is a Type A biohazard—infernal materials from Hell on company property—and a deal that could spell doom for Dark Enterprises and Earth…signed by the CEO himself. Sam is in deep trouble now, and the problems keep piling up. The CEO’s homicidal assistant wants him fired (read: killed), Calvin is literally losing his mind over a secret project, and there’s something very unusual about Mia’s emotional-support rabbit, Mr. Bun-Bun… It’s a mess like no other, but Sam is a janitor at Dark Enterprises. If he can’t save humanity as well as the man of his dreams, no one can. #BookAnnouncement #DarkEnterprises #Bookstagram

💜🗡️COVER REVEAL🗡️💜 Thank you to artist @erion.makuo and art director @heart_shape for creating this gorgeous cover for WARRIOR OF THE SHARDS! It’s absolutely stunning. I adore Kenna’s grace, the armor-like details of her gown, her clawed gauntlet (a certain sentient dagger in disguise), and all the lovely details in the border and the shattered manacles. It’s perfect! WARRIOR OF THE SHARDS is the final book in the Shards of Magic trilogy, which starts with SERVANT OF EARTH. It comes out on December 8, 2026, and is available for pre-0rder now! Check the 🔗 in my bi0 for those details. 🗡️💜🗡️💜🗡️💜🗡️💜🗡️ Princess Kenna of Blood House has decided who to support as the next ruler of Mistei, but one wrong move shatters the fragile truce of the Accord and plunges the kingdom into civil war. In the chaos, hundreds of faeries lie dead, and Kenna and the two rebel princes are captured. With all other potential rulers imprisoned, two faeries crueler and more ambitious than even the late tyrant king claim the throne. Kenna is sure if they don’t kill her first, her guilt will. Her misstep could have lost the war. But Kenna will never give up, no matter what horrors the enemy inflicts on her. Not when her house is looking to her for a brighter future. Not when she has finally found someone who loves her just as fiercely as she loves him. Yet with every blow she is dealt, the limits of how far she is willing to go to win the war get pushed further and further. In striving to transform Mistei for the better, Kenna risks losing her greatest strength—her humanity.
