Hello everyone!
I’m wildly excited to officially announce not only that I’m participating in a dystopian romance anthology of short stories with several amazing authors, but that today I’m allowed to finally reveal the cover!! This anthology contains 16 short stories covering a wide scope of “dystopian” and “romance” so there’s sure to be plenty to captivate you. Curious about my contribution? Well, all I’ll say for now is that it’s set in the world of Walking Shadows but features totally new characters. Love and Other Dangers will be available for a limited time as an eBook (now available for pre-order!) and also available as a paperback! Be sure to add this exciting collection to your TBR and keep scrolling for more details about my contribution!
Okay, enough talk, let’s look at the cover!!!

When their paths cross once again by chance Duke will have to decide if the girl who taught him kindness is worth sacrificing his power for and Harmony will be forced to confront the dark truths of who exactly Duke is. Will love bloom from this childhood friendship of long ago? Or will it become consumed in the flames of tragedy just like the shattered world around them?
