From Manchester With Love: Book Bonanza & New Beginnings
There’s something truly special about meeting readers face-to-face—something that simply can’t be replicated online. This past weekend, I had the absolute joy of attending Book Bonanza in Manchester, and honestly, I’m still riding the high from it.
Trying to look professional, but secretly fan-girling on the inside because of all of the wonderful authors at this event!
The event itself was beautifully put together. Intimate, welcoming, and full of heart—it had that rare sense of genuine community that makes you feel instantly at home. What made it even more meaningful was hearing from so many attendees that this was their very first book event. To be part of that experience, to be one of the authors they met on their first foray into the bookish world, is something I don’t take lightly. It was a privilege, plain and simple.
And of course, I wasn’t alone in the fun. Alongside my wonderful author friends—JJ Cross, Kenzo Ash, and Alexandra Ravensbrook—we laughed, chatted, and shared in what can only be described as a whirlwind of books, readers, and unforgettable moments. It was one of those weekends that reminds you exactly why you started writing in the first place.
To everyone who stopped by, picked up a book, or even just said hello—thank you. And to those of you who hopped aboard the Soulbound train for the first time… welcome. I promise, it’s quite the journey.
Now, onto a bit of news…
After Pieces of You, which is book three in The Soulbound Series, I’ve made the decision to pause the series before diving into Beth’s story (book four). This wasn’t an easy choice, but sometimes a story comes along that refuses to be ignored—and that’s exactly what’s happened.
A brand new trilogy has taken hold of my imagination, and it will not let go.
So, I’ve decided to follow it.
What can you expect? Think Hunger Games meets Divergent meets Game of Thrones… but with wolves. Werewolves, to be exact. Yes, I’m officially stepping into the fantasy world, and I am all in. We’re talking extensive world-building, maps, codexes—the works. It’s rich, layered, and completely consuming in the best possible way.
And at the heart of it all? A powerful love story. So don’t worry—there will absolutely still be all the spice, tension, and irresistible tropes you know and love.
It’s equal parts thrilling and terrifying to be starting something so new, but also incredibly exciting. Right now, I’m about 40,000 words in, and the story is pouring out of me faster than I can type. That feeling—the one where the words won’t stop coming—is pure magic, and I’m leaning into it fully.
Thank you, as always, for being part of this journey with me. Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or have just joined along the way, your support means everything.
More soon… I promise.
