Two female characters with dark skin and intricately braided hair are lying close together on a colorful, patterned surface, while a pale-haired, pale-skinned female elf with pointed ears is lying beside them. They are all adorned with jewelry, and the scene has a mystical, enchanted atmosphere, with swirling accents and glowing effects.

Bookstore & Wholesale Inquiries

Thank you for your interest in stocking my books! I love partnering with independent bookstores, romance-only shops, and book-box curators across the country. The supportive relationship indie bookstores and indie authors have is so important to me.

Because I fulfill retail orders directly, I am able to offer competitive wholesale pricing, rapid fulfillment, and flexible terms tailored specifically for independent retailers.

I love to commission art and in most cases can ship custom bookmarks, stickers, and signature plates.
