Kiss, Cry, Reply, an Epistolary Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

I know! I need a real website. And I need to update this blogsite properly. But in that sense I'm like Gretchen in Kiss, Cry, Reply. I often go basic and let life sweep me up to the detriment of my blog.

So here's how Kiss, Cry, Reply came about. I love epistolary stories so darn much. But I don't see nearly enough of them. I could read them day in and day out. Stories told through letters, primary documents, found documents...I like the mystery, the clues, the twists. I like figuring out what's true or false. I like getting to know characters sideways.

Excitedly, I set out to write one. I had what I thought was a marvelous idea. I'd write a modern epistolary romance, with modern ways of communication, rather than only the letters and journal entries usually used. I really thought I could do this, because of how much of our lives have gone to text...not just in our social communications, but in all ways.

As to deciding which story I told that way...it didn't so much happen like that. It was more that I'd been fiddling with the concept for Kiss, Cry, Reply, and the way to tell it followed naturally. My only dilemma was how purely epistolary to go. I was tempted to return to narrative, oh...a lot. But when I tried that, it changed the fabric of the story too much. In the end, I stuck with documents, even though it took me (who of you will be surprised by this from the quintessential slow writer?) a bunch of years.

And now it's done, and I'm excited to see if anyone else is as into this form as I am. 

As for the story itself...it's kinda heart-twisting. But it's also super, super feel-good. And it's weighty, at 114,000 words.

So...there you are! Here's a preview taking you to Amazon (through an affiliate link):

Unfriended: A Geek & Stud Romance is Out

I'm excited to announce the release of Unfriended, my steamy friends-to-lovers romance. It's the first in a series called Love in New Highland that takes place in a fictional tech city. (Want to see more in the series? Be sure to leave a review! Reviews help keep a series alive.)

On the surface things are perfect. I'm sailing through college, I'm already successful in my field, I've got a beautiful girlfriend, and life is sweet.

To top it off, I have the best f*cking friend in the world in Charis Sloane, doctoral student, gamer, and honorary family member from way back. Sure, she's a geek, but so am I under all these muscles.

She and I connect via brainwaves. I don't need my bestie to be a girly-girl; I already have one of those to warm my bed. The important thing is, I have Charis's back and she has mine.

Good thing, too, because below the surface? My life isn't nearly as awesome as it looks.

Then Charis tells me she's getting married to...to...

Pissed? Right, try livid.

Now I have to stop her, or we'll miss our last chance to make right what should have happened long ago.

Us.

A standalone college friends-to-lovers romance.

No cheating. No cliffhanger. Yes HEA.
